Mazda 2 (03-07) - Review

Review by Dan Harrison on
The 2 may be a Mazda, but it's based on the Ford Fiesta and Fusion and built in Ford's Spanish factory. It offers exceptional versatility and a rejuvenated badge image thanks to funkier Mazdas like the 6 and RX-8. The mixture of Ford durability and Mazda's proven reliability means it's a sturdy and dependable alternative to more mainstream small cars.

Buying used

If you're looking at buying a 1.25-litre, it's worth bearing in mind that it comes only in S spec. That means no CD payer and no air con. Special editions have included the Sakata (sandwiched by entry-level S and range-topping Sport models). It's also important to remember that not all early cars have ABS, this was only made standard in 2004.

Limited supply means that there's sufficient demand for the 2.
