My tiny car is my pride and joy
I've had windshield problems with my vehicle. But I still love my vehicle! It gets good gas mileage. Air conditioning works great! Not much room for luggage but I make it work. I have a CD player that I've never had a problem with. Parking is never a problem.

Stereo system. Mileage low. Great on gas only pay 20/two wks
Reliable, kid friendly car. Mileage is great, only use 20$ for gas every 2 weeks. Comfort zone for parents of 2. Flexible on the road. Could travel short distance and long. I've been having my car for 5 and only needed one tune up. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone. It's the new car of the century

Marsha the mazda2 - a blessing really!
My Mazda is amazing. It drives well and has no problems. I just take good care of it and change the oil on it! It is got 91k miles and still humming! I advise everyone to drive this car if they can. Plus my car is small and fits into every parking spot!

I love the room and the ease of driving. I dislike that I don't have power locks. I love the gas mileage.
It is awesome! It is so much fun to drive. It is easy to maintain.

Engine, interior design, and sound system.
This car is very reliable and convenient! The only bad thing I would say is the interior design could have been a little better. It takes a bit to accelerate and it is very loud. The seats are a bit too small so it might not be suitable for tall people. I am asian so I can fit in the space no problems. The sound systems in the car can be improved too since the sounds quality is quite low.

It is very sporty and handles well.
It is great good mpg sporty handling not great in snow but trying snow tires this year! Overall love this car, great for long distance trips costs me only 15$ to fill up my tank. Does not have a lot of bells and whistles but it is a great commuter car and great for simple driving.

Great compact car for small families!
It is a great small compact car! Great gas mileage and it has a hatchback, so you can haul small furniture. The back seats are a little small, but its great for driving teens. The main problem is finding spare parts for it. The wipers are small, the wheels are small, so you have to custom order any parts.

I love the hatchback feature that makes this car more than just compact!
My Mazda 2 is extremely light and able to fit anywhere I need it to. I have been impressed with its fuel efficiency and how it drives both in the city and on highways. The interior feels spacious though it looks unique and small from the outside. The only problems I have had have been some leakage from the air conditioning unit and some limitations from the small gas tank.

Motor gave out
No. Whole dashboard lit up and now told motor needs to be replaced!! This is a young car and 85,000 miles! - waste of our money...for it to be giving out now. Towed off - Cash for parts on Monday.

Just the right size. I would consider this car to be a good start
There are really no problems. Maintenance is very affordable and gas lasts and is affordable as well. Very comfortable to drive. I love the fit of the car, especially for road trips. This car makes the perfect road trip car. Can easily pack four people and has great mileage.

It's an suv that runs fairly smoothly. It gets me where I need to be.
It's just okay. Drives smoothly and gets me to where I need to be.

Mazda 2: a reliable, yet fast and fun car.
It is a very reliable car, with okay gas mileage. It has gotten us through a year of commuting to work one hour each way. It has also assisted us in a move halfway across the state. It is small and compact. Not a good car for someone who is tall. It is a good car for a small family. Nice interior. Nice exterior.
accountCircle Ashley E
The inside has a lot of space! Perfect for a family.
The thing I like most about this vehicle is that its reliable but I hate how small or compact it is.

Sporty little zip that gets around cheaply.
Very reliable car and sporty looking. It has a great pick up, meaning it gets up to the desired speed very fast. It also has great gas mileage and is very cheap to fill up. A con to this car is that it is so small I have almost been hit by many due to being in their blind spot. Sometimes I feel unsafe on the interstate next to large trucks and semis. Other than that, it is a great car for a single person! I wouldn't recommend it for a family car, it is much too small.

Small, reliable, no storage space, small trunk, cheap on gas,
My car is very small. Its reliable with little to no issues, the only issue I have is that my gas tank is super small so I go through gas a lot. But it is cheap to fill my car up. I really wish that it had a lot more space since I have 2 kids. My car is really reliable as I don't have to replace mulch in the car.

The Mazda sport 2 is an alright car.
It is a small car & it gets great gas mileage. The model I have a very basic, it does not have cruise control which is inconvenient on long trips. It also does not have power locks so once you get in you need to make sure to lock it. The car has an aux port for listening to music as well as a USB port which is honestly one of its best features.

Mazda2 great car for the price.
My Mazda 2 is a great car. The gas mileage is great for commuting into the city. Only complaint I have is that the headlight coating is fogging up so that will need to be repaired. Only other issue I have had since purchasing the car was an issue with the engine mount but that was cover by the factory warranty.

Cute, sporty, dependable, great gas mileage.
I love my little Mazda. It is small, but perfect for me. Great mileage, handles great. Very cute and sporty! I feel like it will last for many years. She is dependable! It would be a great 1st car for a teenager. Safe, easy to drive. I have had mine for 5 years. Have had no problems at all!

Yes, the 2014 Mazda 2 hatchback is a reliable car. It is not meant for cold weather/the Midwest. It does not speed up too quickly, and if there is too much heat inside, then the back windows fog up.

It is a pretty low cost for a reliable car with good gas mileage. I would prefer for it to be a lower cost for the minimal features it has.
Mikayla B.
Between $5000 and $10000. I think it has been a good value for what I use it for, though a family or someone who needs more space may not find it a great investment. Overall it has run well and not... Read More
