7+ trouble free years!

This is a peppy and economical hatchback utility commuter that gets over 30-MPG! It is easy to drive and easier to park. Great for college student or anyone wanting an economical low-miles car in excellent condition.

Mazda 2 Venture

I haven't had this car long, only around 5 months but I love it. I get on average 43MPG with a peak MPG of 49.9 which I had for around two weeks before I changed my driving style. If you drive slow you will average around 49 and if not you can average around 45. As I am a speeder I currently sit at 43MPG. I got the Venture Edition which comes with built in Sat-Nav, MP3, USB, 16" alloys, folding mirrors and a few other extras. The car handles superbly, is nippy and fun to drive. Immediately responsive and sharp. It is quiet and smooth although tyre noise from the rear can be loud. I am unsure if this is simply the tyres. I owned a Fiesta before and I would recommend this over that or the Corsa or Polo any day of the week. Probably this cars only weakness is that it could do with a little more punch being just slightly underpowered. Not by much mind, just a little. Fortunately, due to the light weight of the car this is not as noticable as it would be in another, heavier supermini.

Nice little car

Nice little car for me. I am a older senior man and do not need a large sized vehicle. This little car carries all that I need, good gas millage, decent pick-up and is fun to drive. It feels nice and solid and holds the road very well.

I like this city car and i recommend it.

At 47K kms i replaced the alternator clutch pully. Otherwise the car is good: 1349c.c. engine is very responsive, headroom and legroom are passable (i am only 165cm tall), luggage space is just adequate, length is perfect for a city car to park. I do not use motorways (long hours driving). But if you drop small items between seats: difficult to collect!

Litte Car that Can

The 100hp engine moves this lite and nimble car in a way that feels sportier than one would expect. The steering is precise. The 5 speed manual is crisp and not too long or short in any gear, although cruising at 70mph has the rpm's topping 3000. Cabin noise is not as hushed as a luxury car, but good for the car's size. I have the sport model, so there are no steering wheel controls, no cruise control and no blue tooth. Very basic yet does not feel cheap. The oil filter, spark plugs, serpentine belt...everything is easy to get to for the person that likes to do their own maintenance. And the car has a timing chain. I have a feeling this car will last much longer than I want to keep it. Thank you Mazda.

It's a good first car.

The Mazda2 is a very reliable car. It has great miles per gallon, I don't have to fill it up to much only about 4 times a month. The sound system I It is the best for just stock.
