I love my Mazda2. The infotainment is super simple but really useful and the jog wheel / buttons near the handbrake are brilliant. You can access everything easily without looking.
Thank you for providing the review for the Mazda 2. And this is the car that I want! Premium interior quality with great economy! I don't need that power as long as a turbo would burn more fuel and cause more problems in long term. Simplicity is king! Definitely would be one of my car in the future.

Highly underrated car, at least where I live. In my opinion, no other car in segment comes close in style and cabin design. Manual gear stick feels superb just like any other Mazda, just love that thing.
You need to drive the Mazda 2 for much longer and get used to the characteristics of the sweet 1.5L normally aspirated engine that loves to rev. The car is deceptively quick and great fun to drive - once you are familiar with it. I have the 90ps pre facelift Mazda 2 purchased last year, and the things that interest me on the facelift are the better headlights, improved seats and improved sound proofing. I always have the infotainment screen switched off (yes, no phones and no music for me). Japanese car, made in Japan. Good stuff.
What an insanely good review, and thank you so much! I am desperately researching cars and am stuck on Mazda, but have not considered the Mazda2 yet at all - not until I stumbled across your review. This may just be the perfect car...I couldn't care less about the infotainment, so long as I have bluetooth and decent sound, and I live in Norway so you can't drive fast on the roads here anyway. Fuel costs a fortune here and there is a lot of talk about increasing tax and other "fines" on Co2 emitting cars, so fuel efficiency is crucial!
I have a Mazda 2 Sport Nav 90 and I can report that it is a very good drive, the speakers are more than adequate, I can say gear change is excellent, rev the car to get the most out of it, it's surprisingly quick 0 to 60, it's very agile around corners, it's all surprising as it's only 90 bhp but the car is very lightweight and has a 1.5 engine. Fuel consumption is good. It looks superb for look. All round it gets top marks. Certainly give it a test drive if anyone is wondering.
Mate, fantastic review. I am a petrol head and watch a lot of reviews on youtube. I really enjoyed your enthusiasm, even though this is just a Mazda2.The reason I recognised that enthusiasm, is that your review was spot on. We just bought one of these for my sister, 2020 20 plate collected 1st March. We only got the 75 bhp manual. Wow what a nice car. Sure its not blistering performance like my S3 however the gearbox, steering and mild hybrid are great. Because we got the SE-L we have neither the heads up display nor the touch screen. But the basic SE-L ironically comes with an amazing Bose inspired 6 speaker sound system, Bluetooth and CD. Its a nice little monochrome display which is just perfect. You even get cruise control as standard.And what a stonking deal we got, so we got £3750 scrapage on an old Audi A3! We also got part exchange on a Mazda3 2.2D Sport, which lately was nothing but trouble, and had ULEZ and more expensive parking on ringo.Also the 75bhp SE-L is £130 road tax as appose to £145!I have had BMWs, Audis, Celicas and Lexus but I'll be honest I still like borrowing this off my sister, there is a real enjoyment to driving it.
13:30 Thanks for showing these assembly problems. I noticed them on my Mazda 2 from 2017. I spoke about that issues on a Mazda 2 forum and I have to say that most of the Mazda 2 owners didn’t notice these problems. There is also the same kind of problem with the interior of the doors in 2017. On this version, the interior of the doors looks visually more solid, it may be possible that Mazda has solved this issue on the doors.
In Thailand,there are 105 hp diesel and 93 hp petrol. Good things are handling, 6 speed automatic, safety feature. Bad things are price, seats, rear legs room.
Thanks. What you say makes sense and mostly matches what I have experienced. I have a 2016 MY 2 and driven it 76,000 km. It is outstandingly economical with 4.5 lt/100km over that period. True. Mostly motorway driving. It has adequate go for the City and cruising on highway. It's gear indicator always tells me to grab 6th at 60 kph, but zero pickup at that speed... I will say it is not so bad with revs > 4500 on board for pickup. It is a 1.5lt NA, so never going to be a rocket ship. I like its nimble handling, and efficiency. No issues with the car in ownership period.
I am actually decided to brought the Mazda 2 in 2016 after I watched your review. Now I own for 4 years and done about 82,000 km on the clock. The things I don't agree with you are the seat and infotainment system. The seat is too small for me (I'm 177 cm tall) and it hurting my back. The infotainment is very useful when you hacked the system. My car is automatic transmission, it not the best transmission but it is better than CVT. Great review as always :D
thanks and cool feedback! :) Yes the newer seats were improved in ergonomics now as Brian said, maybe this would help! Oh what did you hack in the system?
@@autogefuehl The hack is called AIO Tweaks (I type the name for incase you want to google it)The tweaks allows the use of touchscreen while driving and enable many more functions.I love the Speedometer app which shows extend Trip computer and can shows coolant temperature on the infotainment screen.
What a awesome review, I learnt a lot & happy with what I now know. I'm waiting on delivery of my new 2022 evolve in late October. I took a GT model for a test drive & loved it, looking forward to mine when it arrives.
Thank you. Epic moment mentioning sustainable materials for steering wheels. Thank you! It’s about time, plus they won’t wear-out at 80K and get all gross. New steering wheels cost $500-plus too!
I only use the MZD Connect (infotairment system) for navigation. So, yes it is a pretty old and cheap system, but it works well. And you don’t have air conditioning on this system or even more functionalities... As the new Golf for instance. Or the Tesla Model 3 which is an iPad car.
Question: Around 9:45 Brian is talking about the build quality based on the sound. But is it really fair to talk about the build based on just sound? How do we know the manufacturers didn't just do some engineering to get the satisfying sound? I know for a fact that they did this in the past. Makes sense that they are still doing it...
My 2019 mazda 2 has 110hp (82kw) out from the factory and not 90hp (67kw) and it actually pulls nicely in town and no problem overtaking something doing 120km/h (country speed limit) from 120km/h to 140km/h for overtaking.
Interesting note about the 6th gear. I’ve been using this car for 2 years now, and using that 6th gear for maintaining any speed above 50mph returns amazing fuel economy. My combined average is 58-60mpg.
@@pascalkrzeminski7341 well everyone has a different taste. I am not saying that anyone of them is bad, but Brians english is much, much, better cause it's his native language and he is more natural. Thomas' english is a typical german-english with mistakes here and there, but that makes him sympathetic. it would be actually better for him to do it all just in german cause then he would be better and not so much in his head trying to translate everything - and that's a fact, no hate
As always...great review videos. This vehicle is offered in usa and canada as a toyota yaris, with 106 hp. In mexico it is both a yaris and mazda 2. Sadly in no marked in the western hemisphere under either marque , is a sunroof offered, even as an option. Grrrr.
I just started out as a candidate driver and this is the car I'm going to be learning in :) A few days ago was the first time I drove (in a parking lot), and tomorrow will be the second one, this time on an actual road :D I'm excited (and a little bit confused) and trying to prepare as best as I could for tomorrow :D
The problem with alcantara on the steering wheel is that it is not reliable and it will have to be replaced often specially on daily drive cars. Maybe another artificial material could do the job
alcantara still rocks to touch it. There are cleaning techniques for that. But indeed a high-grad leatherette will also do fine and also a little longer lasting, as used in the new Teslas
About time mazda turbo charged this engine,mazda 2 mps would be fun.Toyota Yaris with a 1.6 engine pushing near 270 bhp.Even 150 bhp would be fun to drive.
About the infotainment system, i think one omission that is important to point out: starting with exclusive line (Germany, name changes on each country so please inform yourself) it has android auto/apple carplay which may significantly improve your overall experience with the car.
At 50 km/h, the automatic gearbox is at 6th. So, I’m a bit suprised that you say you can’t use the 6th under 110-120 km/h. Regarding the acceleration, it’s pretty good for 90hp (at least on 2017 version). Sure that a Clio (130hp), a 208 (130hp) or a Fiesta (140hp) are more polyvalent, but it is not the same price. At my opinion, the 2.0 litre 120 hp is missing on the Mazda 2.
23,000 euro? Looks like a 13,000 $USD car, tops. In the US, you can get a nice 3 year old Volvo S60 with 250hp and full warranty by Volvo for 19k USD (17k euro). A nicer, safer, better driving car that includes a very nice warranty. Mazda used to make some nice affordable cars, but now their cars are priced WAY too high. I think their sales will tank unless dealers are allowed to give massive discounts.
I love the Mazda 2: I have a 2015 I’m from down under I zip around town an city I service my car every 12000km an I’m about to trade in an get another one the power to weight ratio an from 0 to 60 an 60 to 110 is very good It’s a very nice car. I would put coil overs on mine with a knn air filter an custom air induction I would stick with penrite motor oil ryco oil filter etc oem drive belt no need for turbo or supercharger cause of remap ecu
If you own a mazda 2 from the past like 7 years.. this one is really no different. It's basically the same car with new headlights and fake leather trim on the dash.
@@stephenmurray2851 there are only a few reputable Skyactiv tuners. OV Tune is the most well known in the forums. An OV flashed ECU can net you around ~+25 hp at the crank depending on the fuel you tune for. A tuned Mazda 2 feels like a FWD Miata.
Thank you for posting this!! I’m in Houston TX, and just want a modest oomph added to my 2️⃣. (Not trying to be a Sleeper beast - Just maybe keep up with a Fiat Abarth, or nearly 😆) I put on SRI last year - and after about a month or two: it seemed like the ECU did some self-calibrating, and nudged the torque & HP ⬆️ up a level or so. 🤷🏻♂️ currently have 0-60 of 8.3 secs on flat surface from a Stop 🛑 Anything around 7-7.5 would seem great to me (stock NA/1st gen Miatas have a 0-60 of 9.0 secs, for example) 🏎 Please 👍 share your 🏁 0-60 time when you get a chance!
The softness of the centre console - can't that be a crash safety thing? It's a small car and having an area for your knee that gives way in a crash, not jamming your leg between the steering column and the console could be a thing.
@@jdmguy44 Where do you comme from ? Here in Switzerland, Mazda 2 are imported from Mexico. However, the German version tested by ADAC in 2015 came from Japan.
Alcantara is made out of petrochemicals. It’s probably at least as bad for the environment as leather, and will last in the environment, polluting for even longer
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette. Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
I test ride the mazda 2 2016 with hud. I really dislike it. And you can't shut it down. I didn't bought the car. And i really really liked the rest of the car.
@@morishogo144 a "new" car must be good, and not disable things. But actually i still thinking about buying the car. I think i will get used to it. But for now I don't like it, but the rest of the car is really good..so..
I love japanese cars but they are such a let down recently, so I bought a fiesta 75 and 90 horse power options in a top of the spec, sportline? come on mazda... why did they feel they had to have a "sport" version when there is nothing sporty about it?
I think Mazda 2 is expensive but the paintwork is not. Paintwork of TOYOTA and Mazda is better than others. I am disappointed with the paintwork of BMW.
@@1beck2en3ham You can't be more wrong. Search the net, there are tons of examples of people complaining about this exacr Mazda color as being to sofr and easy to peal off after only couple od years of usage.
Dashboard design is poor, very difficult to see all the information. Rear seats have poor legroom and there is poor visibility because of the C-Pillar, I own a Mazda 2. I wish it had all -wheel disc brakes and independent suspension. My car is a 2014 model with the highest trim but it does not have Apple Carplay. My car was only 2 months old and my automatic transmission packed up and it had to be towed to the dealer in Ise, Mie Prefecture!
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII I cant buy electric romobil.. It is expensive in this class. Clio,Corsa etc are more selling cars then this makeup on 4 wheels :)
Well, I bought the new Mazda 2 instead of the new opel corsa. Not only the drive experience was nicer than the corsa but also the corsa with the same amount of options as the Mazda that I chose (okinami) was almost 4500€ more expensive than the Mazda. So I don't think that they are cheaper if you want some options on the car. Yes, if you are fine with the baseline model the corsa is cheaper, but if you want just a little bit of comfort options the Mazda is cheaper.
@@emilyschouteden4067 my Polo in Highline (highest trim) with excelent equipment and a turbo petrol engine was about 15500 euros a bargain in the class if you ask me !!
You can tell right off the bat that this is nothing but an sponsored ad for Mazda. The infotainment alone w'd put me off of this car but he tries so hard to excuse the horrible aspect of the car.
I really don’t get the hate over Mazda’s older infotainment. Everything is clear and works well. If Mazda put this exact infotainment on a fancy 12” widescreen and made the graphics look flat people would be saying it’s the best infotainment ever.
Idk. If it really is how you say, Brian would've chosen completely different words to make it seem more positive. If it's really an ad, you wouldn't say "yeah, it's not so great, but that's the best place to save money and put it somewhere else".
Dude, just because a car reviewer did not say what YOU wanted to hear does not mean they are being paid. Don't you know that people can have differing authentic opinions from you? Stop being such a spoilt brat. You should be thanking Mazda for offering so much luxury-like technology and design for such a low price, because you are not going to get anything better with your salary.

I love the Mazda 2: I have a 2015 I’m from down under I zip around town an city I service my car every 12000km an I’m about to trade in an get another one the power to weight ratio an from 0 to 60 an 60 to 110 is very good It’s a very nice car. I would put coil overs on mine with a knn air filter an custom air induction I would stick with penrite motor oil ryco oil filter etc oem drive belt no need for turbo or supercharger cause of remap ecu
thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful Athens☀️ and excellent review! 👍👍👍
appreciated =)
I would love to know how that belt driven hybrid system works.
This one against the Fiesta Mild Hybrid. They're my fav super minis
This guy really knows how to review cars. Well done.
If you own a mazda 2 from the past like 7 years.. this one is really no different. It's basically the same car with new headlights and fake leather trim on the dash.
You're mazda 2 does have a ford engine so it's too far different 🤪
how would you compare this to the latest renault clio (hybrid)? The clio is more or less the B segmenter with the best interior?

An OV Tuned Mazda 2 drives like a bat out of hell 😎
"ov tuned"?
@@stephenmurray2851 there are only a few reputable Skyactiv tuners. OV Tune is the most well known in the forums. An OV flashed ECU can net you around ~+25 hp at the crank depending on the fuel you tune for. A tuned Mazda 2 feels like a FWD Miata.

I’m in Houston TX,

my 2️⃣.
(Not trying to be a

Just maybe keep up

I put on SRI last year -
and after about a
month or two:
it seemed like the ECU
did some self-calibrating,
and nudged the
torque & HP
⬆️ up a level or so.
🤷🏻♂️ currently have
0-60 of 8.3 secs
on flat surface from a Stop 🛑
Anything around
7-7.5 would seem
great to me
(stock NA/1st gen Miatas have a 0-60 of 9.0 secs,
for example) 🏎

@@gerardjoaquino8856 I wonder if I could do this for my mazda 2 venture.
How are the bag seats for folks who are 1m80cm (5'11") and above?

Das beste vom beste kommt von Mazda.
The softness of the centre console - can't that be a crash safety thing? It's a small car and having an area for your knee that gives way in a crash, not jamming your leg between the steering column and the console could be a thing.
Havent heard that yet but interesting thought
Looks Better than most of the Hatchback that made by Japanese
Honda has an awful design. The Mazda is gorgeous
Well, Mazda 2 is made in Mexico. VIN starts with « 3MDD.... ».

Kudos!
does this car have independent rear suspension or torsion beam ?
I love mine!
Really? Today is Mazda's 100th birthday.
And instead of showing new 6 or 9, they show 2 facelift.
You are not getting happy birthday from me
😠
What? What does the redesign of the Mazda 2 have to do with Mazda's 100 years? Well, it's not today that this model was introduced
Greece! Why?
I'd rather buy a entry level 3 for the price

Alcantara is made out of petrochemicals. It’s probably at least as bad for the environment as leather, and will last in the environment, polluting for even longer
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html
In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination.
For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette.
Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
I test ride the mazda 2 2016 with hud. I really dislike it. And you can't shut it down. I didn't bought the car. And i really really liked the rest of the car.
@@morishogo144 a "new" car must be good, and not disable things.
But actually i still thinking about buying the car. I think i will get used to it. But for now I don't like it, but the rest of the car is really good..so..

why did they feel they had to have a "sport" version when there is nothing sporty about it?

I think Mazda 2 is expensive but the paintwork is not.
Paintwork of TOYOTA and Mazda is better than others.
I am disappointed with the paintwork of BMW.
@@1beck2en3ham You can't be more wrong. Search the net, there are tons of examples of people complaining about this exacr Mazda color as being to sofr and easy to peal off after only couple od years of usage.
Yes buts its a shitty Polo
Dashboard design is poor, very difficult to see all the information. Rear seats have poor legroom and there is poor visibility because of the C-Pillar, I own a Mazda 2. I wish it had all -wheel disc brakes and independent suspension. My car is a 2014 model with the highest trim but it does not have Apple Carplay. My car was only 2 months old and my automatic transmission packed up and it had to be towed to the dealer in Ise, Mie Prefecture!
jeebus!!😮
How many 2 are sold... none... its is expensive...
Expensive? How poor are you to call this expensive? 😂

I cant buy electric romobil..
It is expensive in this class.
Clio,Corsa etc are more selling cars then this makeup on 4 wheels :)
@@Knorsky true story
Well, I bought the new Mazda 2 instead of the new opel corsa. Not only the drive experience was nicer than the corsa but also the corsa with the same amount of options as the Mazda that I chose (okinami) was almost 4500€ more expensive than the Mazda. So I don't think that they are cheaper if you want some options on the car. Yes, if you are fine with the baseline model the corsa is cheaper, but if you want just a little bit of comfort options the Mazda is cheaper.
@@emilyschouteden4067 my Polo in Highline (highest trim) with excelent equipment and a turbo petrol engine was about 15500 euros a bargain in the class if you ask me !!

The large grill says "look how inefficient I am". Electric cars are very efficient so they don't need that.
You can tell right off the bat that this is nothing but an sponsored ad for Mazda. The infotainment alone w'd put me off of this car but he tries so hard to excuse the horrible aspect of the car.
We do not do ads, see comments and video description.
I really don’t get the hate over Mazda’s older infotainment. Everything is clear and works well. If Mazda put this exact infotainment on a fancy 12” widescreen and made the graphics look flat people would be saying it’s the best infotainment ever.
Idk. If it really is how you say, Brian would've chosen completely different words to make it seem more positive. If it's really an ad, you wouldn't say "yeah, it's not so great, but that's the best place to save money and put it somewhere else".
Dude, just because a car reviewer did not say what YOU wanted to hear does not mean they are being paid. Don't you know that people can have differing authentic opinions from you? Stop being such a spoilt brat. You should be thanking Mazda for offering so much luxury-like technology and design for such a low price, because you are not going to get anything better with your salary.
Ok, boomer.
