Mazda 2 (2007 - 2015) 1.3 TS2 5d (2008/08) Owner Review

They think it's great.

Independent

No

£8,699

May 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

The delaer was one of these car super sites, where there's no negociating a better price.

What's it like to drive?

Great little car that's very nippy and handles very well, making it fun to drive. The clutch is a little unforgiving, but other than that I love it.

What's it like to park?

Dead easy, with good all around visibilty.

Have you had any problems with the car?

All 4 alloys corroded - particularly the fronts Air-con radiator disintegrated Perished rubberised button on rear hatch Annoying clutch pedal click But to be fair Mazda UK and the dealer rectified all of the above during the warranty period.

Easy to park, and good visibilty.
