Customer Reviews of the Mazda 2 Hatchback

The engine is to small you can not put it in 6th gear. The sat nav is very complicated to work But it does drive ok in traffic

E Xcellent value for money especially considering the kit supplied.

6 gears, 5th & 6th only suitable on motorways etc. Annoying warning lights for moving out of lane that can't be switched off, and brake perception hazard that will be illuminated when the sensor can't work for frost, heavy rain, etc. Self locking which locks in an incredibly short time (10 seconds ) meaning you put something in the passenger side and by the time you walk to the driver's side the car locks itself. Reverse camera - not protected from rain/dirt etc naturally picked up when driving. Rear seats don't fold flat so shopping etc is in a heap by the time you get home

I don't really like much at all. Had an Aygo once before and considering it is a smaller car and cheaper it had much better engine power and inside space. The steering clunks against something when turned fully. The alarms are very annoying, beep as soon as you put even a scarf on the back seat and goes on for ages after you remove it, but doesn't beep at all if you put a heavy bag on the front seat 🤷. The sat nav is so difficult to use, we gave up and use our phone. Only thing I like is the heated steering wheel im afraid!

Entertainment system not as good as Peugeot, signal cuts out, every now and then one speaker stops working

Reliable, comfortable and lovely colour

I preferred my previous car the Mazda CX-3 as it was larger and more powerful, but overall the Mazda 2 is very good value for money, comfortable, good to drive, and well equipped.

It's horribly underpowered, and the suspension is almost nonexistent. There is almost "too much" tech, as alarms go off constantly about crossing white lines when there are none there, when it's a narrow road, etc - or it shuts them off and looks like a fault condition when it's wet, cold, freezing, etc. The tyre pressure managements system is a known joke in these - any high speed driving will set it off, making it so unreliable that you end up ignoring it - everyone learns a trick to reset it, which is not what should happen. The "driving auto correct" indicator looks like the indicator for assisted steering failure, which is another awful design feature, and it engages almost at random, making the steering feel heavy (so just like power assisted steering failure!) and seems to do it when it feels like it. The assisted braking is the same, coming on at random, or when it thinks it should cut it. MPG is great, but it's uncomfortable, underpowered, and I cannot wait to give it back at the end of the lease. Would never touch a Mazda again.

Great vehicle not great for long journeys on motorways as tiny engine
