  Love it! - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By Jen! - April 16 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car to replace an 03 Civic coupe, I was initially torn between the Nissan Versa, Scion xd and Honda Fit, this one is way better. I had never even heard of this car before but after driving it I was sold. It handles well, has features I didnt know I could afford, and is spacious enough to meet my needs. I recommend the touring model, the extra features are worth the slight jump in price and make the car stand out a lot more. Im no longer embarrassed when I drive to work, Im getting really awesome gas mileage, and Im having a lot of fun with all of the features.

  Have 2011 Mazda 2 touring with 51k. Just retired my mazda protege with 300k on it. The protege has the 1.5 liter which only has with 90hp. The mazda 2 also has the 1.5liter. Every go see the christmas lights and you can not turn your head lamps off?The 2 doesnt have the day running lamps. Has a self adjusting timing chain and not a timing belt so thats saving you 500 to 600 every 100k that you have to change on most imports.I work at a big dealership and get to drive every make and model and can say with certianty that this mazda is the funnest car out. The 5 speed tranny is smooth. The engine isnt loud. So what it only has 100hp. Thats a upgrade for me from the 90hp I had for many years

  Great Second Car - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By professor52 - August 30 - 2:54 am

  I just purchased this vehicle. I was looking for a second car, since Im retired and I sold my car to my daughter. I did research on all subcompact cars available and drove my top three choices. For the money, Mazda 2 was the least expensive and I have had gas mileages from 35 to 40 mpg which is a combined city/highway useage. I chose the manual because of the size of engine, I could change gears when needed faster than an automatic. I dont regret my decision in a time of our economy and gas prices.

  2 for the Money - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By gabagooo1 - July 6 - 7:15 pm

  With 4000 mile gone, I must say that the Mazda2 is a great car. You will read that it only has a 100 hp engine. You will read that it is small. Yup, both are true. But the 2 is a blast to drive, is peppy and economical. We are averaging 38 mpg in mixed driving. If I had wanted a packet rocket, I would have bought a Mazdaspeed3. The 2 has tons of personality, storage space and room for driver/passengers. I am 511" - 340 pounds and I fit in it fine. Great car. Love it.

  Great Little Car - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By Robert - May 11 - 3:20 pm

  The Mazda2 really is a great little car. I traded in my Jeep Commander and am loving every minute in my Mazda. It handles like a go-kart around corners and acceleration is fine for a car in this segment. I really like the feel of the electronic power steering, but the throttle progression of the gas pedal is a little odd. The quality, fit and finish, and standard features cant be beat! I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a small car, and I prefer it over the Yaris, Fit, and Versa any day. My dad put 250,000 miles on his 1981 Mazda GLC, and I hope the same from my Mazda2.

  Nice little car to drive - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By Bob - January 15 - 10:00 am

  If youre looking for a small car with zip and fuel efficiency, this just might be your car. The interior and exterior design is simple in a good way - minimalist is the word Id choose. The car had all of the creature comforts I wanted without any that I didnt need. If your commute is short and you need a car that doesnt need frequent fill-ups, get a Mazda2.

  Zoom-Zoom, little go-cart - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By kertruss - December 21 - 9:13 pm

  This car is excellent in every area!! It gets awesome gas mileage and is so much fun to drive. All of the reviews are right! I had been looking for a car for about 5 months and was real tired of it. I was at the volkswagen dealership and my mom saw it. I fell in love and now its the best car Ive ever owned. I hope to have it for many years. The interior is very suitable and I love how easy it is to clean and so comfortable!! I would buy it all over again.

  Fun Hatch - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By Car Guy - October 22 - 10:00 am

  At first I didnt like the goofy face of this car, but after test driving one yesterday I loved almost everything about the car. The bright green color attracts a lot of attention (yellow cobalt stood out less than this car). Acceleration is adequate for a car of this size and weight. The clutch is very light and will take time getting use to. The steering is sharp and adds to the "go-kart" feel. I would love to see the MazdaSpeed version of this car if/when it comes out. Price is cheaper than the fiesta but, it feels more spacious and with the touring package (I think) you get more bang for your buck. Youre only losing out on SYNC and SAT radio. Gas mileage is outstanding.

  This is a great car! - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By Hamilton - September 9 - 10:00 am

  Its easy to drive in rush hour DC metro traffic. Its quick, not that itll beat a high HP car, but fun quick. The shifter is a joy, it took a while to get used to the light gas, brake, and clutch pedals though. MPG on 1st tank was 34, 42 on the 2nd, and 38 on the 3rd. Bought the car in black, which makes it look so much better than that the green like color. Cargo space with the seats up handle about a week worth of groceries. Fold the seats down and Costco here I come! Ride is nice, not too soft, not too hard, its just right. I dont carry more than one passenger when I drive so passenger room isnt a problem. Fiesta has more feature but the 2 has more fun.

  Best handling subcompact hatchback out there - 2011 Mazda Mazda2
  By carboloader - August 3 - 5:08 pm

  Exactly what I planned on buying. The 2 handles great. It is best on curvy roads. I put a K&N air filter in it and it helped the acceleration. I drive 90% highway driving and I am averaging 40 mpg. That is with 3k miles on it. It is not a perfect car; however, I think that it is the best handling subcompact hatchback sold today. I test drove both auto and manual an the manual is the most fun to drive. I test drove other cars, but this car handles better than the other subcompacts that I drove. This car has the zoom zoom handling Mazda is famous for. At least test drive one before you buy another subcompact. I would buy this car again.
