This car is very fun!When I totaled my Mazda3, I started looking at other cars but nothing came up to snuff like the Mazda. At 100hp per 6k rpm's, it seems like not a lot, and it's not. With a 5M, you can push it a little more and have more control over the car. The interior is excellent in the touring model and does not feel like a tiny car. Road noise is not nearly as loud as I expected. It does well on long trips, getting about 36mi/gallon. I know this is weird to throw in, but this little car handles potholes really well. And unlike one or two reviews I read, it does not "bounce" all over the road. It's very sturdy and handles pretty similarly to my Mazda3 (RIP).

As fun as a go-cart!

The small car segment in America is finally getting competitive, and Mazda does a great job of building a car that is comfortable, efficient, good looking, and (true to the Mazda heritage) fun to drive. I test drove the automatic, and while it is very good as far as four-speeds go, it is still a four speed, so I can only recommend the manual. While on paper the car may seem to weak, get behind the wheel (of the manual) and you'll experience a go-cart like driving sensation that can only be defined as pure bliss. The car is very efficient, and the engaging drive keeps giving me reasons to head out to the store or just to hit the road. Do yourself a favor, buy this car. You won't regret it.

Loved this car. Great on gas, climbing hills, only $20.00 to fill it and it lasted us a week. Two minor accidents and we were not hurt at all. I loved this car. Packed it for a week worth of food, clothing etc for vacation. Handles awesome. Not great driving on slush on the highway, but could pass all SUVs going up hills in first gear in a snow storm! I regret trading it in and not keeping in as a second vehicle. Very reliable vehicle. I see where it is for sale now and debating on buying it again. Great sound system for the CD's. Never had any major issues with it.

I bought my Mazda 2 in 2014. I needed a vehicle with great gas mileage, a low payment, a way to listen to my music from my phone, and still look pretty snazzy. I came from a totally basic model 2006 Hyundai Tucson that got 19 mpg and transmission problems. The Mazda 2 got 28 mpg (way better than my Tucson!) and all I ever did was change the oil regularly and changed the brakes maybe one time. Mazda makes excellent tires; over the two years with the many long trips I took it on it kept the same ones I bought it with and we're still good when I traded for a new vehicle a few weeks ago due to growing family. Though it was a vehicle MADE TO BE AFFORDABLE, Mazda still made it look like a quality car for the type of vehicle it was made to be. I'm from Mississippi, and everyone knows Mississippi girls like to eat and take up space. THREE friends and I fit COMFORTABLY in the vehicle with all of or luggage in the trunk on three 6 hour trips to the beach. It worked just fine and didn't hinder the trip one bit; actually gave us more spending money due to the great gas mileage and only needed max $15 to fill up. With 28 mpg, and driving a 45 min drive three times a week plus driving to work, I still only needed to fill up once or twice a week depending on what I did on the weekends. The Mazda 2 was a definite upgrade from my previous vehicle. Totally low maintainence. The ride could be Slightly noisy, but the way it drove was so fun that I didn't mind the light noise. Also, you could feel just about every bump you hit, but good grief it was like half a foot off the ground so feeling bumps is to be expected. I enjoyed the size, I didn't feel like I would ram into anybody; parking, backing up, and switching lanes was super super easy. Wish I had this car as a first one honestly. It even had a USB and aux outlet for listening to music, though I really only used the USB so I could charge and listen to music. Siri would talk through the sound system which made navigation from the phone heard. By the way, the sound system was awesome, especially since the one in my Tucson was ruined by previous owner. Due to new baby, I needed a vehicle to accommodate the baby car seat without bringing the front passenger seat so far up (though the Mazda 2 did have what was needed to install a baby car seat just in case and my 5'3 mom could fit comfortably in the front passenger seat with the baby car seat installed). I loved this Mazda so much I traded for a 2013 CX-5 which I'm in love with! The Maxda 2 was extremely wonderful to me and I would recommend it to anyone; MAZDA ALL THE WAY!
