I owned a Porsche Boxster and have driven many high end sports cars including the Acura NSX. None of them are as fun as the Mazda 2 5SPD Manual. I bought the car used with low mileage and I use it daily and in autocross. It is a great little race car for autocross events. It makes driving fun. The engine is peppy and feels strong and the car is surprisingly quiet and smooth. With my spirited mixed city/highway driving, I average 29.5 mpg.

Bought this car new and have put on 2000 miles so far. Got the Sport because I couldn't find any Touring models with manuals in my area. Excellent handling, I really feel like I can toss this car around. The shifter is very smooth and quick. At first I was worried about the 100hp but while it won't knock you back in your seat during acceleration it is more than adequate(previous car was a 9-3 Saab). Personally I like the simpleness of the car, the dash is basic and for an economy car it's what it should be. I've been averaging 33 mpg with most of my driving at 70 mph on the highway. Basically it is what most of the reviews say, a fun to drive economy car.
The little underdog that comes up big!

Tiny car with plenty of power and comfort. I'm 6.3 and I have enough space to say I'm comfortable. I do wish cruise control was a standard. The engine is very quite even at highway speeds but you will hear noise from the highway. It's handles very well. You do not feel like your in a golf cart. It also holds to road nicely especially if you have appropriate tires installed. Very simple tech but easy to use and works well. Mpg is about average 31-33 combined. Prolly more with manual trans. The auto is smooth and does not care to shift down and move if needed. Nice value as well. No major recalls like the fiesta. Nice little car for the money.

I have now had my 2012 two years and it has 31000 miles. The manual transmission, steering and handling are all very good for a car in this class. I also like having 4 doors on a subcompact hatchback. If you are looking for an inexpensive practical fun car this is it.
