A cheap and reliable Japanese version of trend setting Peugeot 206, I think Peugeot were criding their teeth when they first saw this. Will sell to the masses of mostly girls in the 22 to 32 age group. A much better design than the previous 2 which was an ugly box on wheels.

Ive got the new Mazda 2 in brilliant eboney and its beautiful. I love it. Its really spacious and looks really good inside. Not as small. Feels like a big car. Drives perfectly.

I have the previous model Mazda2 and I love it. Mazda have lost their way again, by ‘aping’ the styling of the Yaris what they have done is to take a roomy, practical all purpose vehicle (I can easily carry my mountain bike in the back) and turned it into a cramped, impractical little girly racer.

When I replace next year I’ll go for the 2008 Honda Jazz, or see if there’s a Mitsubishi Colt replacement.

Bye bye Mazda, again.

Just got the Spirited Green, Neo Auto today. (my first car!) Wont get the car for a few more days, but when compared with the Yaris YRS, it felt more torquey uphill. I felt, the Yaris screamed a little higher and louder than the Mazda.

The interior beats the crap outta the Yaris. Yaris interior looked liked my dads 14 year old Diahatsu Charade. Cloth trim seemed pretty crap for both base models, but I’m gonna get a nice seat cover.

Maxx was an extra 2.2k for me and only giving me a spoiler, 6 CDs stacker, alloys and steering wheel controls.

-Spoiler looked good, but I’ll save that 800 bucks or so.
-6 CD is pretty useless because they all come with MP3 capabilities + They all come with the AUX jack in between the first two seats.
-Alloys, yeah they do look better, but I’m cheap :-)
-Steering wheel controls, I really wanted these…. but when my friend bought the Mazda3 SP23, he never uses it much. Practically, not that useful.

Gonna save up for a real sports car :-)

Just got my Metropolitan grey maxx with safety pack+tinted glass+tailpipe chrome. Absolutely love it. Drives a lot better than my 2000 Lancer.

Have ordered a golden yellow Neo with alloys, fog lights, and DSC/Safety pack. Okay, now I have to wait for 8 weeks for one to be delivered. Apparently Mazda dealerships only get to place orders at the end of the month and then it’s another four week wait after all that. So I get my new car in late November or possibly early December. Pretty pathetic really.

Oh well, I guess that I just have to wait patiently and clock up as many miles as I can on my trade in.

I just had a test drive today!
Awesome little car! lots of room! hot interior!
I was looking at a Barina, but this is defiantly worth the extra money!
I Went for a Black Neo.

I picked up my Green Neo auto on Saturday. Absolutely love it. Nothing but praise from everyone. My husband was amazed how well it drove and said it was a real pleasure to drive.
Very happy with my purchase.

i would love to get one, but i want cruise control in the steering wheel like the UK is getting. Why do we in australia not get the cruise control when they are fitting it for the UK released mazda 2s. I love the look of the car and would buy tomorrow if it had cruise control option like the UK

I just got a call from my local Mazda dealer who said that the car will be released next week. He said they are being shipped 60 of them.

He also told me that it will be about $500 – $1000 more than the current price. Can’t wait to see it!

Ford can fit a 2.0L Focus engine into the Mazda 2’s sister car, the Ford Fiesta. Someone find out if Mazda is planning to fit a 2.0L Mazda 3 engine into the Mazda 2 – i would buy it! Comeon Mazda bring out the Mazda 2 SP20!!!

I cant wait for the release of the new Mazda2!!
Any news on price range? It will have to be competitive with the Yaris and New Corolla.
Also, cant wait to see the other colours….green looks good though…it would certainly stand out on the road.
