"The Mazda2 is a seriously stylish small car, the modern optics offers an engaging driving experience and a number of economic engines."
the Mazda2 is a small, which as well as the best-selling stalwarts like the Ford Fiesta and Opel Corsa competition classy Volkswagen Polo and the impressively practical Skoda Fabia. In such an experienced company, it would be easy to overlook the small Mazda; Thankfully, but they help lift the 2's beautiful and distinctive look of the ground while an engaging driving experience and economical diesel engine run prove his talents deeper than looks alone.
Mazda 2 with a 1,5-liter petrol offers and a 1.5-liter diesel engine. Gasoline is 74, 89 or 113bhp, while producing a diesel 104bhp. The fuel consumption over the gasoline range is impressive, if not lead the class. The 74bhp engine delivers 60.1mpg and 110g / km of CO2 emitted (manufacture of motor vehicle tax only £ 20 per year), while the more powerful 89bhp engine must so hard not work, so economy increases to 62.8mpg - though the car tax remains the same ,

the strongest 113bhp petrol is still reasonably to run economically, 56.5mpg return and costs just £ 30 per year in road tax. If you cover a lot of miles and to prioritize efficiency, though, you should choose the diesel; This impressive fuel economy of 83.1mpg and is exempt from vehicle tax thanks to its low CO2 emissions. Note that the larger alloy wheels of higher trim levels negatively affect slightly on economy
The performance is good for a small car -. As long as you avoid the entry-level 74bhp petrol engine that takes a leisurely 12.1 seconds to go from 0-62mph. Moving to the 89bhp engine to see the time at 9.4 seconds to shrink, while the top-of-the-range 113bhp petrol engine is even faster, with 8.7 seconds to do the same. The 1.5-liter diesel engine sits somewhere in the middle of the gasoline range in terms of going to the acceleration of 0-62mph in 10.1 seconds. This is where a strong power, the efficiency of diesel, it is the engine we recommend.
to drive on the road, the Mazda2 is a big car. It may not quite fit the sense of fun Ford Fiesta, but the steering is precise and the suspension is the balance between rigidity and softness right: there is little body lean in curves, even potholes, cat eyes and other imperfections in the road surface are beautiful smoothed. The gearbox is also remarkably smooth and precise operation.

Inside the Mazda2 really convinced with a sleek, modern and easy to use dashboard. The gearlever and heating control are higher than in some small hatchbacks; This makes it not only easier to achieve, but also gives the feeling that you are beautiful cocooned and protected.
All the controls work intuitively and securely, and while there are some scratchy plastics which are found below the dashboard, this many cars from the class applies to most superminis, and above as well. Front and rear passengers get an impressive amount of head and legroom for a small car, while at 280 liters, the luggage compartment in the size is identical to the Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Polo.
Mazda 2 features five trim levels, starting with SE and rises through SE-L, SE-L Nav, Sport and top-spec Sport Nav. The entry-level SE model feels equipped sparse since it split folding rear seats and alloy wheels omitted -. Although you do air conditioning, electric front windows and remote central locking obtained
Moving to SE-L trim brings a seven-inch infotainment system, complete with DAB radio, Bluetooth and smartphone app integration, so that you use Facebook, Twitter and Internet radio. SE-L also includes rear electric windows, 15-inch alloy wheels and cruise control. Note that if the basic 74bhp petrol engine, SE-L trim is choose something different, and with the touch screen infotainment system does not come. The Sport gets interior and exterior trim upgrades (eg metal finishes to the air vents and Tinted rear windows), while the Nav derivatives add Navi as the name suggests.
Mazda reliability record is excellent and the 2 finished in an impressive 28th place of 150 cars in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey. While it only four stars out of five received in its Euro NCAP safety tests the Mazda2 with the latest and most stringent test criteria has been examined and tested many similar vehicles under this scheme the same experience.
