Great value but a bit short of perfect.
I purchased this vehicle last month as an alternative to my beloved Jetta. My goal was to increase my fuel efficiency, upgrade the technological amenities, and reduce maintenance costs. Before I purchased the 2, I drove the Fit and loved everything about it except the price. I was able to get the 2 at over 4000 less so to my wallet - it was a no brainer. Here's what I love about the 2: Looks great from the outside. It's pretty roomy on the inside. It came with Bluetooth. Love the USB port. Drives very nice, nimble and easy to park. Here's what Mazda could add to make the 2 better: 25 more horsepower and a bit more torque especially while in 2nd gear would do wonders. The advertised fuel economy could be a bit better - I average about 27mpg combined. Map pockets in the back of the front seats would be handy. Heated mirrors would be nice. An option for alloy wheels and leather or leatherette would be nice too. Overall, for the money its a great little car - I look forward to driving it for the next several years.

Great car for the value
Got the car september 2012, epa milage say 29/35 mpg the real thing is I drive aprox 35 miles both ways 5 days a week to go to work, plus regular driving. And im getting at least 40 mpg on regular 87otc gas. Nice 4 person hatchback, It's for 5 persons but got put a small person on the middle back or wont see through the back window. Nice stereo, and nice spacing. All around really worth the value.
