2008 Mazda 2 reviews

Mazda 2 reviews by year of make: 2003  2004  2005  2007  2008  Read all reviews

The Mazda2, also known in some markets as the Mazda Demio, has come a long way since it entered the market in 1996. Indeed the Mazda2 has Ford to thank for its original production – originally it was sold as a small minivan with its origins taken from the Ford Festiva. It was redesigned in 2002 with the Demio name dropped everywhere but Japan in favour of the Mazda2 marketing name. However, the most radical reinvention of the Mazda2 came in 2007 when it was made lighter, faster and more fuel efficient – the practical boxy shape replaced with a funkier, sexier body. Indeed the Mazda2 has been marketed as a ‘lean, green driving machine’.

4 star review

Great car, handles really well, superb grip, best looking car in class and gains envious looks from other supermini drivers - mainly Corsa owners ;). Nice driving position and has a quality feel to the controls, fuel consumption is really good if you drive normally. Feel the car is roomy for it’s size and the engine quite and refined but feel the ride is a little firm and road roar on poor surfaces could be improved,this maybe common on most cars with low profile tyres? I’m thinking of adding some extra soundproofing to boot and floorpan. Overall though I’m more than happy with the Mazda and really look forward to every journey in it.
