Mazda 2 (2007 - 2015) 1.3 TS (Non AC) (2012) 3d Owner Review

I bought this car in 2012. It looks good drives ok however the interior materials are cheap and some trim has fell off. The engine is pretty gutless with 3 adults in car and with normal driving style gets no where near the advertised MPG. I get no more than 35MPG. It has now developed a major problem wit the steering at just under 24k. The steering is notchy and lumpy and makes a grinding noise when driving. AA advised to take it to garage immediately for investigation.
