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.
Cheers! Please recommend our channel!
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!
thanks for tuning in - please recommend us =)
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.
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.
thanks for the feedback =)
Not made in Japan ! Made in Mexico !
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.

@@ssbb7201 Subjective.
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.
Thanks! Keep joining us 🤗
The G75 doesn't have mild hybrid.
Thanks, Autogefühl for reviewing another little car I find extremely adorable! This and Smart's new EQ are my favourite little cars. 🤗
Bryan well done! Autogefühl the best! I like focus on details.Up!
cheers pal!
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.
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.
cool!
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.
Thanks for the feedback!!
Welcome! To Greece. as always a great review! Presentation, i really enjoy your videos.
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!
👌

One of the best interior designs of any car on sale at any price
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.
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.
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...
Bonjour
Avez vous déjà fermé une porte de clio 4 l'avant passe encore mais l'arrière c'est affreux....
finally Brian is back, just one of the best🙏🏼
@@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
@@pascalkrzeminski7341 looks like you are the one who is drinking too much alcohol
There's a 115ps variant for the Mazda 2 Sport edition
I ordered me the 116hp version which basically is 29% more hp than the 90hp model. It's also more efficient.
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.
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.
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.
cheers! Indeed, Mazda2 is the US-Yaris
And the version we have in Europe is made in Mexico. At least my version from 2017. My VIN starts with « 3MDD.. ».
Great as always, Brian!
Time to get a raise? Indeed! Thomas? 🤣
=)
Beautiful Athens. And gorgeous Greece. Always a warm sun and great people
To welcome you.
Thanks!!
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
2 cool filming location
30:18 is a nice right corner i live in this area and i must say its one of the best routes in Athens for spicy driving :)
Wow Athens!
Didn’t know you do reviews in my hood
My biggest concerned the driving display failing down the track, wish they had option not having it but the other upgrades
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.
With remap my mazda 2 got 140hp and 200nm torque
@@HappyBeppie Hi, what year Mazda 2 did you have remapped? Can remapping be done only at special service centers ?🤔
Isn't there a 115HP engine available? I have one in mazda2 from 2017 and it's quite an experience imho. 0-100km/h in 8sec.
That's a nice drive along the coast. Been there a lot of times.
No mention of the rear drum brakes but I guess that's all it needs
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.
Yes indeed!
Would have been good to hear what kind of automatic transmission the car has. That is to say , cvt , dual clutch or regular torque converter.
Review took place near my neighbourhood in Athens!
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
I saw many of these like 2 hours ago in the southern suburbs of Athens! Enjoy your staying ! Welcome to Greece! 🌞🌞🌞 ( 38:05 is the place i live)
minnie saab lagonisi?
@@clarencetaylor7455 not even 10 min of driving from Lagonisi to south. Saronida !
kudos! Nice place =)
Athens riviera
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.
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.
Needs the more powerful version back in the line.
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!

This one against the Fiesta Mild Hybrid. They're my fav super minis
Welcome to Aθens Autogefuhl !!!
Kudos!
What's better for a first car, this or a Fiesta?
I would love to know how that belt driven hybrid system works.
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
nice camera quality
Beautiful Athens☀️ and excellent review! 👍👍👍
appreciated =)
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?
This guy really knows how to review cars. Well done.
car in thailand 1.5 diesel turbo 105HP 250 NEWTON remap stage 3 get more power 170-200 HP 350 newton
How are the bag seats for folks who are 1m80cm (5'11") and above?
Thank You.
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.

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.
does this car have independent rear suspension or torsion beam ?
Die Musik war etwas zu dick aufgetragen dieses mal.

And instead of showing new 6 or 9, they show 2 facelift.

@@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 !!
FIRST
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.
MHEV = gas car, no thanks!
100% a girls car. It needs a redesign so guys can drive it.
