The car handles well since it's quite small. It can be agile when there are not many passengers, but you can easily feel the extra weight when you go to accelerate if you have 3 or more people in the car. Nonetheless I've had no issues with this model so far.

Purchased second hand my Mazda 2 is incredibly cheap on petrol and runs smoothly. One of the quietest cars I've driven and also the easiest to drive and park. It may look small from the outside but is actually quite spacious inside. It does hit potholes quite hard though but I try to avoid them anyway.

Purchased a used 2013 Mazda 2 to replace my previously crashed old car, and it has been great. No issues so far, runs smoothly and looks pretty. I haven't used the boot or the back seats much though, so unable to comment. From what I can tell, it has decent fuel mileage but haven't counted exactly.

My 2011 mazda 2 is an amazing car to drive and is amazing on fuel. I put 98 premium in and it costs $42 for a full tank of petrol. Is comfy car to drive and has everything i need. Is a great little car for someone just starting to drive.

It's not going to see the world on fire in terms of driving experience but it's pretty good compared to Toyota Yaris and slightly older Toyota Echo I drove extensively in my uni days. Good interior and reliability but service costs were slightly higher than I was imagining after previous Toyota I had.

I am very unhappy that I only drive my car a few kms a week and only have 34,0000 kms. But I have a major steering problem and its out of warranty
The seats are comfortable but I would not buy another Mazdda they are costly to repair and unreliable

Well I have bought a new 2015 Mazda 2 Hatch, traded the other one in.
Have had this for a few months now and Boy! I find it absolutely amazing in all aspects!
The ride is so smooth, the noise is minimal, the power is there (for a 1.5 Litre it's great).
The Petrol consumption is out of this world, with me getting nearly 800km to the 42 Litre tank.
Great 3 year warranty with extra three extra extended free as long as I service it with Mazda.
Comfort and interior is also great!
Push button start something new to me and I love it!
No bad things to say about this awesome car!

Bough a Second Hand 2010 Mazda 2 Neo three weeks ago with 62000km on the Clock,it is perfectly maintained and looks great!
I have already put another 1200 on her in the three weeks and it is going great.
get up to 620 km on a tank (42.Litre) not bad !
I have heard that these can easily give you up to about 300000km with good looking after and regular servicing!
Looked at the new Mazda 2 Neo but am not too sure on the new Stop/Start Button they use! Wonder if they will last!!??
Cheers

I bought my 2011 Mazda2 auto here in NZ just 2 weeks ago. Due to unforseen circumstances I have already raked up way over 1,000kms in it since purchase. Verdict - a zippy and comfortable car which also took more luggage than I thought it would. I am getting 16 km/litre (bout 45 mpg in old figures). It looks smart and is smart. I am very, very happy with it.

i don,t know where they get km petrol from these days, them so called reviews,mine mazda 2 uses way to much .i had a mazda 1.8 motor and it was much better on fuel than this 1.5 and a more powerful engine. the government should look in to it.and the new mazda 2 i don,t believe their results either.l

Bought new in 8/2011 car now has 38000ks after 3 years. Around town fuel is 6 litres/100ks and on the open roads sitting on no more than 100kph my wife gets around the 5 litres /100 ks. We have only ever used premium fuel. Car is always serviced every 10 k not 15 k by the book. Would we buy another ... Hell yes !!

The best small car by far. Reliable, funky & smooth. Hard to fault. Better then Nissan, Mitsubshi or Hyundai offerings. A real car for the money

What a little rippa of a car I am a community care worker and travel many klms every day my little darling has never let me down and I have 223,00 klms on the clock but she is serviced regularly and still in immaculate condition both inside and out I also get around 600 klms per tank what more could you ask for.

The Mazda2 is one of the best cars it owned, it has never let me down once in over 65,000 km. Generally I don't keep a car for more than 4 or 5 years, but this small Mazda2 is such fun to drive and it uses little petrol. I think I will keep it for a few ore years.
Joy to drive, even on long distances. Low on fuel.
If i had to choose one thing, the engine is a little noisy. at high revs.
