It's a pregnant rollerskate. I have a 2014 Mazda 2 that is MINT. It's jittery and starts bumming out at 85 mph. I installed a Magnaflow exhaust. Sounds great now and the gas mileage is excellent. This is the car VW should have copied when they introduced the Beetle but should have had a rear-engine Subaru boxer engine and water-cooled.
This seems like it has a lot of parts from the third gen mazda 3. My dad has the same heads-up display on his 2015 6. What a weird Frankenstein's monster between Mazda and Toyota. It's cool if it keeps costs down though.
I had a look at one today for my wife. The iDrive like knob and display is like kinda like stolen from BMW technology but even this 2022 cars 'iDrive' is clunky and slow compared to my 530i BM which which is over 10 years old. The engine is also weak. No grunt at all for a 1500, it needs a turbo The steering and handling are good otherwise as is the body style. Not a bad car.
I have a 90 hp petrol Mazda 2 from 2015 with automatic transmission. I drive with the purpose of achieving a high gas mileage and I get much better results than the guy in this video So the guy in this video must have a somewhat heavier speeder-foot than me and you hear it at 5:42... I don't to that... Road trip mileage: I achieve 4,9L/100km = 21,3 km/L when driving 110 km/t on the highway with autopilot, summer tires, warm weather, flat terrain, no wind and no rain (a 2 x 330 km trip back and forth). I have achieved this on two seperate (yet identical) road trips with more or less constant speed of 110 km/t the entire distance. I haven't tried a long winther road trip with winter tires/rims yet. Commuter mileage: In summer commuter-city/queing-highway trafic I achieve 5.8L/100km= 17,2km/l with summer tires/15" alu rims, warm weather flat terrain, and no rain. In winter commuter-city/queing-highway trafic I achieve 6.2L/100km= 16,1km/l with winter tires/15" steel rims, cold weather, flat terrain, wind and rain/sleet. I try to use the autopilot as much as possible, but there really is a lot of queing to be aware of on my commute. Sum-up: The driving style/traffic conditions really has a surprising influence on gas mileage. So much so, that I have followed up on it the last 8 times I refueled the car. I would expect the mileage to hover around 4.2 - 4.4 L/100km = 22,7 -23,8 km/l at a constant speed of 80 km/hour. However, this is currently untested.
Japanese absurdity, the car looks modern and inside it is a 2015 model. It loses to all cars in this segment in terms of equipment. No armrest, no electric handbrake. Adaptive cruise control, lane keeping. These are 4 reasons why I won't buy it.
Sans the immensely annoying, distracting bang‐crash‐wallop music I would not have baled this presentation a few seconds into its start as I did in this instance. It's inclusion is excess baggage. As for this stunning‐looking car, it's very seductive indeed but I've nontheless rejected it, for two reasons: firstly, I can't forgive Mazda and Toyota for not including a built‐in satnav (even on the top spec versions) because I can't be doing fiddling about with a cable to achieve connectivity. Secondly, too many commentators complain about excessive wind noise and tyre roar at motorway speeds. These twin deficiences mean that both manufacturers fail to prise the wonga from my wallet.
I'm definitely getting this baby soon..thank you Mazda
I am getting my Mazda nextweek, I loved this review. He is so funny and informative
Just got the sport model this weekend. LOVE IT.
Also love the review. I grew up in Cape Town. Love everything about this review including the car 😁👍🇬🇧
What sport model? To the best of my knowledge you get Active, Dynamic, Individual and Hazumi
Quality, comfort, and economy . Love mine , very underrated, but that’s not a bad thing , or everyone would have them .
I like this guy reviewing. Makes a nice change from train spotter car reviews
I M getting this car this month. Can't wait
How the car treating you now?

Sucks that the USA doesn't get the cool little subcompacts like a lot of other global regions do. :(
Anyone have issues with the headlights..randomly coming on?

Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 , my wife killed me about Mazda 2 , she lovely the car 🚗 , perfect video and thank you 🙏🏻 , wher are you from , sorry
“Nothing can get you from Cape Town to Bloemfontein without having to stop”… Land Cruiser Prado can for sure
Yeap. I even did that a few times with my 10 year old Polo 1.6 Tdi
Looks good to me. Thanks for the great, positive review! Mind made up

Because the Mazda 2 is still a 6th Gen model and your dads Mazda 3 is not 3rd Gen but 6th Gen unless you live in North America then it is 3rd Gen
They don’t make Mazda 2 Sport in america anymore
I get 40 miles er gallon
I wanted a new 2023 Mazda 2 Sport but you can’t buy one in America!
I have a 2012 Mazda 2 Sport and it runs like a dream but you can’t buy them in america

The sits are just designed for Japanese people or short people...
Would this car be suitable for a 36 year old male?
Won't buy cz it's not fuel efficient

It is fuel efficient in the city, not so much on highways.
Toyota is the right brand for you.

Curious to know what you bought instead?
