I own one from 2008! It has 310.000km! Its very reliable! Its so fun to drive!!!! Its very playfull and the steering wheel its amazing!
1Greetings from 2023, just bought my 2nd used Mazda2 from insurance auction. They are easy to work on and extremely reliable. Just awesome and fun to drive! (Kinda like driving an overpowered go-kart if you get a 5speed manual).
1i just bought the 04 model for $1,500 and it’s so good, it wants you to throw it into corners, and it’s so fun to drive.
1You all do a bang-up job reviewing used car reliability, likely the best. Knowing the common issues of a vehicle is key to helping buyers. Your mechanic is sharp, and I see 100% of what he says in my own experience.
1I bought my wife this model, and i only wanted one that had the front, rear, sensors, and cameras. Let me tell you, she can park on a dime in the tightest of spaces in this thing. She loves it. She has driven my trucks, and she even had a Jeep SRT back in the day....she's comfortable in big cars....but we both like stress free grocery runs and city driving without the stress that big cars bring. And its been maintenance free since we owned it.
1My aunt has this car and is looking to sell it. I just got my license last week so, honesty, I might buy hers.
1I have a 2012 with about 107k miles and i love it. Very fun to drive for having 100 hp and being slow as hell
1I just sold my Mazda 2 Neo. 10 years and 110,000km of solid reliable motoring. The servicing intervals were originally 6 months however around 2013-14 they changed it to every 12 months.
1This is the car that VW should have copied when they redesigned the Beetle. No frills and cheap.
1I had to pick between a Kia Rio and Mazda 2 when I was in Uni. I could've picked the Rio because of the practicality but once I test drove them both I enjoyed the Mazda 2 more and picked it. Good little run around car.
1I had a 2007 Genki in dark purple for a few years. Sadly it got written off on the way home from the Takata recall. I moved house with it twice, and used it while working as a walking postie. I'd probably consider another one if I didn't need a ute at the moment. You can get the seats to fold flat by folding the bottom of the seats forward.
1ive had one for 3 years its got 176000 miles on it and im gonna drive it till it blows up and then search a 2000 mile radius for another one with the lowest miles i can find and pay whatever they want for it.
1I daily a 2006 nc mx5 auto and recently drove a 2008 mazda 2 in the automatic and I have to say the mazda 2 is simply more fun to drive and feels more alive than the mx5, the 1.5 in the mazda 2 is a much sweeter engine than the 2.0 in the mx5, I was shocked with how much fun the mazda 2 actually is.
1My little sisters owns one of these I think hers is 2010 model. I borrowed it for a week at one point and hardly wanted to give it back, it is such a comfortable car to drive and the steering on them feels great, loved it.
1I've had my 07 manual Ghenki for about 4 years now and I still love it! It's my little Mario kart.
1I have this. It's a beater car, just take care of it and youll end up passing it to the next gen.
