I have had my Mazda 2 for four years. It is a great little car. I get 35 mpg on average, so I only have to fill my tank every two weeks when I do my usual around town driving. The windows are big and provide clear vision of the road all around my vehicle. Although the car is a compact vehicle, it has four doors and plenty of leg room, even when there are passengers in both the front and back. The hatchback opens to a large, covered storage area where I can easily fit a couple of suitcases or a week's worth of groceries. The back seat folds down so I can transport bigger items, and when I needed to move from one town to another, it was amazing how many boxes I could fit into this back area once I folded down the seats. The air conditioner and heater both kicked in very quickly, which I appreciate in the high desert climate where I live. All of the controls on the dashboard are user friendly and easy to access. There are a few things that I have been less than happy with in this car. The defroster does not work efficiently, and while the front windows may defrost and clear up, the side windows often fog up making visibility from these windows difficult at times. In addition, parts for this car are pricey because it is a foreign product. I have had continuing issues with a cracked window washer fluid compartment. This part has been difficult to find, and it is very pricey. I bought a used one, and it also was cracked. All in all, I would highly recommend this car. It was reasonably priced at $14,000, and I have had no major repairs in the past four years (knock on wood).

I own a Mazda 2, and I love this car. It gets about 35 mpg around town and 43 mpg on the highway. My car is sporty silver with front-wheel drive, making it a good car when the roads are slippery. The Mazda 2 handles well in all weather. The aerodynamic style handles the wind well. The large windows allow me to easily see other cars and road hazards, and the rear window wiper keeps the line of sight behind my car clear. The interior of this car is roomy, even though this is a compact car. In fact, I used my car to move everything except my big furniture to a new apartment. I could not believe how many boxes I fit inside in one load! I love that the interior controls are logical and user friendly. I would most definitely buy another Mazda.
