Mazda 2 (2007 - 2015) 1.5 Sport 5d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Sporty (but doesn't have the really high insurance group I imagined it would to go with this).

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

Everybody likes it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, been reliable and looks good. My only niggles are the lip on the boot is extremely high, not good if you have heavy items such as compost or slabs to lift over it. I would also like more storage, the glove box is rather small. My previous car (a Micra) had an underseat storage compartment in the passenger seat which was really useful.

What are you likely to buy next?

Mazda 2 or similar.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

£0

January 2011

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always liked them.

Helpful and hard working.

What's it like to drive?

Brilliant at pulling away fast and overtaking, cruises on the motorway. I do have to change down when I go up a very steep hill but show me a car that doesn't need to!

What's it like to park?

I have no problems with it, I regularly reverse into spaces.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

The engine.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control. Electric mirrors that also fold in electrically.
