Mazda 2 (2007 - 2015) 1.3 TS (2010) 3d (2010/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not a lot. That I chose something a bit different but cheap.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

I don't think they care.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No - it is basic and the car interior screams cheap and cheerful. No just cheap...

What are you likely to buy next?

Top of the range Ford Fiesta - already ordered.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£9,300

When did you buy the car?

March 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

The car was on offer - at about £1000 less than list price. I might have got better from a broker but it was a quick buy.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted something cheap and economical.

What was the dealer like?

Fine. They try to sell the usual GAP insurance but that's just what they do.

What's it like to drive?

Small and nippy, but if you put your foot down don't expect to get close to the MPG promised.

What's it like to park?

I managed to scrape the back bumper the first week I had it, but it is small and quite easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

It wouldn't start one morning, but that was due to my having moved it a short distance on the drive the night before and therefore flooding the cylinders.

What's most practical about your car?

Small and nippy.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Er - it doesn't have any.
