2024 Mazda 2 G15 Pure SP review

The Mazda 2 is a small car staple for good reason. An update has improved on the formula, although it can't make up for its age everywhere.
Pros :
Fizzy 1.5-litre engine
Surprisingly comfortable front seats
Price remains decent by 2023 standards
Cons ::
Interior technology needs a refresh
Clunky start/stop system
Decent price by 2023 standards doesn't mean cheap
The Mazda 2 is a first car staple in Australia.
The third-generation model has been on sale locally since 2014, and has been facelifted twice since then.
It’s not quite old enough to be sitting its licence test just yet, but it’s a senior citizen alongside the likes of the Toyota Yaris, Kia Rio, and Volkswagen Polo.
Does that mean it has nothing to offer? If you’re a young buyer on a budget, or an older buyer gearing up for life in the slow lane with an economical, easy-to-park runabout, the answer is no.
