good performance & driving experience
Awesome red & black sports interior!
Costs approx $55 to fill fuel tank very economical
Front of car quiet low to ground so be careful over bumps in the road!
Fourth Mazda I've owned!
Dislike to maintain car warranty can only get Mazda serviced at same dealership

We have a ute, and I needed a car to do daycare drop off and drive to work. I really wanted a small, cheap car. I was originally going to just buy el cheapo Kia picanto but hubby did the 'spreadsheet' and it worked out better valve to down just a little extra for the Mazda. I freaking love my new car. It looks really good and drives beautifully. I can park it in tiny spaces - bonus after driving the ute! The interior is not fancy, but it's pretty nice and has all the fancy things that I was after - I use the USB plug for listening to pod casts on the way to work and Bluetooth the phone for calls. I am definitely a Mazda convert! The mother in law even went out two weeks later and got the same model!

Great first car for my daughter ! Lots of safety features, the reverse camera, anti roll and gps system with screen on the dash is great ! Petrol consumption is great and haven't had any problems mechanically since purchased.Zippy compact sedan easy to get around with and great to park !

My little grey Mazda 2 is a delight to drive...it manoeuvres so well in traffic and and is so easy to park. It is so cheap to run.... 85 litres of petrol got me 2000 kms of driving. That is over 20kms to the litre. Amazingly economical.
Comfort is great. It looks smart, rides well and is very quiet....love my car

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.

Have done 7000ks. Generally a very good car but auto transmission shifts into 5th & 6th too early (5th at about 50km/h and 6th at just over 60km/h) resulting in the little engine lugging at only 1,100rpm, at these speeds. It will shift down (a bit reluctantly) if you put your foot down but performance feels apathetic when cruising around with a light foot. Sports mode is too much the other way and is too aggressive for normal driving. Can appreciate car is designed this way for economy but if it shifted into 5th and 6th at slightly higher speeds or had a setting between "normal" and "sports", it would feel peppier and much nicer to drive.

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

Probably the best small car that I have owned. It handles well, goes really well and costs very little to run. The only complaint is that the radio is difficult to replace with another type. Only in the early 2007 models though. Seats are comfortable and I'm 6ft. Car is quiet, unless you really give it a stir and then the throaty engine sounds great.

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!

Everything about the car is top quality, aside from the bad upholstery in particular the front door trim. They mark continually and look very shabby, and I have been unable to restore the fabric to original condition, that's pretty rough for a one year old car ... Also 5 times when I have turned off the engine the car keeps running - weird! Has anyone had similar issues? Funnily enough I would still buy Mazda

This little car does it for me...I don't have to turn on the lights or wipers...the sat nav gives me directions and let's me know where the school zones are. It's zippy to drive and looks cute.
I bought this one because my previous Mazda was so reliable
I called her Matilda!

I just purchased my car and have had nothing but smooth sailing since. It's consistent and is quite responsive when needed. It handles great too! The interior is simple but nice, and enough space for passengers and gear. I haven't sat in the back yet... cause im driving but it does seem a bit cramped. Ehhh. Overall I'm happy with this city commuter.
