[STRENGTH]

I saw a Mazda 2 in blue in person. I literally could not stop looking at it, so nice in person and the blue was stunning.

[dthtr]

Mazda cars ( along with Honda cars ) are recognized for their reliability according to many auto magazines . I find the Mazda 2 much more attractive than the Ford Fiesta . I own an old version of Mazda 2 and it' s a decent car .

[MarushDenchev]

I like this reviewer along with Matt. Very calm and funny. That is the kind of car reviews I'd like to view.

[danitimnev]

The Mazda 6 is NOT worse than the new Mondeo, and the CX-5 is THE best in it's class. This guy has no clue.

[colinl]

Can't understand why people are obsessed with comparing to Ford. On balance surely this is better? Looks reliable and still drives well. Zoom zoom.

Mazda are fun to drive believe me! When you put your foot down in 2nd and 3rd and push it to 6 n half revs believe me you'll do nothing but smile! They are really quite fast and you'll be surprised. Plus you get amazing mpg after belting it down roads like the man said himself. The 2 needs a flat boot and it's about time they brought a mps version out to smug the fiesta and corsas and Audi a1

All the small turbo engined cars I have driven are rather like driving sowing machines whereas the Mazda 2 around town is quiet and refined.

[joaosoares]

3:38 In a turbocharged engine you don't get an instant puch, quite the contrary; what you do get is turbo lag and a binary attitude. This NA engine offers what the competition doesn't: immediate throttle response. And go for the 115hp flavour, obviously.

[btyc]

Turbo charged engines provide a more instant punch? When did that happen...

[zachiyenonyosef]

CX 5 is the best SUV..
I'd rather buy a Mazda because it is so reliabe

[bramap]

The dash is quite good, it has clean and logical design. However Mazda should use some soft touch material on the dash in the future facelift. I like the LED head light in the higher trim. Speaking of practicality.... well it is not so practical. There are no bottle holder on the rear doortrim for rear passangers. Rear doortrim is too simple, too minimalistic. Rear space is a squeeze for 3 adults.

[DabDabGoose]

UK car journalists are paid by ford 100% any review from another country near talks as favourable about it as they do in UK.

[yuliusteja]

where is better, mazda2 or VW Polo TSI 1.2?

[herbayum]

I drove a ford fiesta and found it very uneconomical to drive, 1l per 13km.
Changed it for a honda insight, 1l per 22 km!

[Daijobustory]

Taking that the gearbox won't blow up is a big plus, Mazda 2 is the best in class.

[andrewp]

Well, it the Telegraph..., always favours the status quo. Can only say that once a car has a few miles, and years, on the clock..., I'd have a Mazda 2 over a Fiesta any day.

[cameron]

I cant decide between the mazda 2 SE-L Nav and the ford fiesta Zetec (both 2016), anyone got an opinion?

[lffit]

I nearly bought a Mazda 2 a few years ago, but the ride was so hard the boot was too small, otherwise handled well, but I went for a Fiesta better value lower priced spares and service at the time and not a bone shaking ride

[AbdouHakou]

How Sweet You Job is :) a Driver I Wish I was a Driver Tester !

[flyingdutchmanyou]

Fiesta the king of its class?? Hahaha!
