The Toyota Yaris Excel comes with 17" wheels whereas the Mazda Select has 16" wheels. Personally, I think that Toyota offer more attractive wheel options. The Toyota also has a wider range of accessory packs, especially cosmetic, than the Mazda. Apart from that, I can't see any difference.
I have heard there is an issue with the 12 volt battery on the Yaris going dead very quickly if you do not do longer journeys and maybe generally do not use the car on a regular day to day basis. I just wonder if the Mazda has the same problem. They are made in the same factory.
Is it any different ? It certainly is because on 15 inch alloys the Mazda has a far better ride quality than the Yaris which only has a choice of 16 or 17 inch wheels.
What do you think about the midrange for the Mazda 2 Hybrid, that's the Agile. I love everything about it but it doesn't have rear parking sensors, just a rear parking camera. What will you advice? Should this be a deal breaker? Especially for a new driver? Thanks.
My advice is try without parking sensors. If you find it unacceptable getting parking sensors fitted at a deadlier is very affordable now and will keep the warrenty
@@EdenMotorGroup thanks for the reply. Are you saying I can get parking sensors fitted for the car at the dealership, sorry I don't know much about cars.
If I was considering either the Mazda or the Toyota I would go for the the Toyota. The Mazda has a three year warranty, the Toyota has a five year warranty.

Shopping for a high spec small automatic but they all, including this one, fall short in some area. This Yaris clone, where's the heated seats and steering wheel and speaking of steering wheel, why no illumination of the many buttons? The true Mazda 2 top spec automatic, where's the front sensors (I know they can be dealer fitted) and why the old technology halogen daytime lights. Spoiling the ship for a ha'penny worth of tar.
Hi, when I was in the dealership checking this car out (top of the range select) I was impressed at how solid the doors sounded when opening and closing which was the complete opposite to a lot of the reviews I watched of the Toyota Yaris with the doors being horribly tinny and was a massive turn off for me. My question is do all the trim levels of the Mazda 2 have the same solid feel when closing them? as I want to order the Agile with comfort pack as the Select is a bit out of my price range.
The chassis for both the Toyota and the Mazda are the same so the door close should feel identical between not just the models from Mazda but the Toyota sister car too.
Hi there, owner of the Toyota here. It's worth noting that whatever the doors/trunk sound or feel like, this got a Euro NCAP 5 star rating. The collision test videos are online too. Mazda may have added some padding to change the feel of the doors (which do sound tinny on the Toyota, I have to admit), but the frame seems to be able to withstand quite an impact. Just my two cents (and I love the car btw)!
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching.

Thanks for this. Im looking at the Mazda2 hybrid to buy.

Absolutely, we certainly do and paint them the correct color as well.
If I was considering either the Mazda or the Toyota I would go for the the Toyota. The Mazda has a three year warranty, the Toyota has a five year warranty.
@@HIOP0 Don't shout Dude. The extra five years only applies if the car is serviced by a Toyota dealership for those five years.
Some help please. Which would you rather go for? The middle grade of the Hyundai i20 premium or the middle grade of the Mazda 2 Hybrid agile?
Thanks.
Both good choices. The Hyundai will be more fun on the drive maybe. The Mazda will be more efficient so honestly it depends what you want in the cars.

Why has Mazda copied Toyotas Yaris ????
It’s a joint venture
