2005 Mazda 2 reviews

Mazda 2 1.4 TS 2005

We bought this car in November 2007 it was low mileage. Without doubt it is the best car I have ever had; the practicality of a Honda Jazz without appearing as common as every other car on the road. It’s ride, handling, economy are all superb. The only problem that it has always had is difficulty closing the drivers electric window from morning start up’s, it has to be gingerly coaxed to close or will auto open again, Once closed the problem doesn’t occur again until the following morning start up(?) The bright red paintwork never fails to dazzle when cleaned. I don’t see how the newer car of the year Mazda 2 can be markedly more economical? Our’s being more practical is often fully laden complete with loaded roof box mounted on the car’s roof rails no matter if laden or not 400 miles per tank full never varies (approx 45-50mpg) had no rust problems as in the other review here. Wish Mazda would re-introduce it as a 2 mini MPV as we have no idea what car could possibly replace it and tick so many boxes.
