    wtf are you on about? the small size is good because it means you can easily park it in town. the car is the same speed as other cars in its class. the car is not jerky. annoying? how the hell can a car be annoying? it's definitely the car you'd choose if you wanted a fun supermini which was unique (unlike ford fiesta) and reliable.

    They use Imperial gallons in the UK, which are larger than American gallons. So the 68.9 Imperial MPG for the diesel version is equal to 57.3 American MPG, and the 49.6 Imperial MPG for the gas version is equal to 41.3 American MPG.

    i had to admit that driving one of these are magnificant! although the car is automatic is automatic but the handling is superb! you kinda feel connected to the car just because of the excellent handling, but i bet you'll 100% connected to the car when it's a stick shift!

    Last year I test drove a Mazda 2, 1.5 litre, auto gearbox (so was the 2012 model). I loved its comfort, on a par with Renault I would say, it was a very good looking car, impressive colour options, and so so much poke. Downside was that 'poke' as I could not get the hang of pulling away smoothly, in fact my wife kept asking why I was sprinting off, and I told her I could help it. A tiny car for a 1.5 sized engine and the only thing not size so I got a VW Polo instead. Mazda 2, rated 8.5/10.

    I've had Mazda 2 1.3 as a courtesy car from the dealership for a day a couple years ago.
    It was great! 1.3 it lively, easily powerful enough for UK, good on the motorway and has no problem getting to UK limit of 70mph (or a little above it) in a timely fashion.
    I was also surprised how quiet it was on the motorway. Road noise present, granted, but you expect that in a car this size and class. Hardly any engine noise though.
    She must be reviewing another car called Mazda 2 I guess.

    Back seat space its ok for people below 1.88 meters; and fuel consumption 40-45 km/g.
    Great car for the money in Colombia.

    i own the little mazda. steering, gearbox, feel through the pedals etc...all that driver orientated stuff is really a joy, there are premium cars costing 4 times as much and cant to better. but there are drawbacks. its loud at higher speeds, and theres a constant jiggle in the car even on good roads, it never settles down due to the hard suspension setup. not really relaxing on longer trips but a joy to shoo around country roads

    I have virtually the same 2013 model and have to say i find the drivers seat far superior to many other seats however i do find it unsettling in windy winter conditions as it is inclined to be moved a little bit too much by the wind which may be the result of it being lighter by 300lbs than say it`s rival the Fiesta which appears to have the identical floor pan.

    I meant no offense & when it comes to personal height measurement, they don't use centimetres - they use the Imperial system ,rather than a fully-fledged Metric system.

  • @vwestlife
    @vwestlife 11 лет назад +1

    Brits and Americans use units that humans can relate to. A foot is the size of an average adult man's foot and an inch is about the width of your thumb. That allows for estimates of length to be easily made without needing a ruler or tape measure. We do use metric units for science and international commerce, but we use U.S./Imperial units in everyday life because they are easier to relate to.

    • @akdaus

    • @orion1983uk
      @orion1983uk 10 лет назад

      It is possible to get good fuel economy in this car (I get over 50mpg (UK gallons) regularly), but I'll admit it is a difficult car to achieve this in with lots of careful driving required. I've had ours over 2 years now and, truth be told, can't wait to get rid of it. It's not a bad car per se, in fact its one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned, but it is very unrefined and noisy at speed. We also have a Ford Fiesta of the same year - it is a much much better car in every respect.

    • @luckyqualmi
      @luckyqualmi 10 лет назад

      orion1983uk We manage to get 6,1l / 100km. Don't know whats that in mpg, but its good enough for an engine that was designed already seven years ago. And no, I'm not driving slowly. You just have to know how to accelerate right (not slow, but rather fast with fast gearchanges so you reach your cruisingspeed faster and have less time with high refs) and of course watching the other cars around so you often can use your engine to break and won't even need any fuel at all on these parts of the journey. The new Mazda 2 shows what mazda can do right now to lower the fuel consumption without missing that zoomzoom. And I think they do it really well compared to other companies.

    • @orion1983uk
      @orion1983uk 10 лет назад

      I regularly average 50mpg (5.6l/100km) in the winter in mine. Upto 5.2l/100km (with some air con) in summer. This is achieved with mixed driving conditions. And to be fair, this is not bad considering Mazda claim around 5.1l/100km for my model. Believe me, I know how to drive economically. However these figures are not easy to achieve in the Mazda2. The equivalent Fiesta will achieve the same anyway (proven by myself under the same conditions). The gear ratio's on the 1.3 litre engine are way way too high and do everything they can to remove that zoomzoom factor.

    • @orion1983uk
      @orion1983uk 10 лет назад

      Mr. Pink P.S. I do know what you're getting at though in terms of driving correctly. I read regularly of people who complain that they only achieve 6.5-7l/100km and claim they don't drive fast, and you just know they are talking rubbish bout their driving claims and are probably ramming their brakes on at the last second before every red light, and then flooring it to pull away again.

    • @luckyqualmi
      @luckyqualmi 10 лет назад

      orion1983uk We only drove the older fiesta back in 2009 and decided that the Mazda 2 is better for us. But it also depends on your age. We were mid-twenty back then and the harsher ride wasn't that big problem for us. My mother on the other side said that it hurts her back after a long journey. So there is no "better" for all. Just stop asking others about their opinion and try it for yourself. ;)

    • @orion1983uk
      @orion1983uk 10 лет назад

      Mr. Pink Well the old shape Fiesta, which was developed for 2002, is hardly a fair comparison is it. I was also in my twenties when we bought them. And, as I own both, I have tried (and still try) both for myself. The Fiesta is more comfortable, much much more refined and rides better (but yet handles equally good). The Fiesta also has a better sound system compared with the comparatively basic (no RDS on a car made in 2010!!!) one in the Mazda2.

  • @enriqueflimberger
    @enriqueflimberger 11 лет назад

    Yes, you can. But not to adopt the metric system is to refuse progress. Take as example your physics classes. The International System of units is used in physics because it's so simple to convert. And if you don't know almost the entire world has already adopted the metric system, but for some reason the English speaking countries refuse to adopt it.

  • @enriqueflimberger
    @enriqueflimberger 11 лет назад

    Which is still a lot more than most american cars claim to have, even some similar models.
    I've read that the european mileage ratings are much further from reality than the american ones because of the methods of testing.
    But I believe a big part of the diference is because of the so common use of Automatic Transmissions in the USA, which waste some power with the Torque Converter.

      Mr. Pink I drive in a cool way ( no gross accelerations no sharp brakings either ) still the consumption is not very moderate ( 7 L / 100 km ). That's perhaps the main default .
      Otherwise the mazda 2 is very good , my car is a 2007 model and has no mechanical issue or repair up to now , just an oil change every year .
      I don' t agree with orion983 and VDPEFI , ok the mazda 2 engine is not as quiet as an audi , but it is not that noisy .

    • @luckyqualmi
      @luckyqualmi 10 лет назад +1

      As I said in another comment, we manage to drive the Mazda 2 with 6,1l/100km. And that's in south germany with lots of hills and small mountains as well as once per year with a caravan for holiday. Everybody always says that they are driving not fast, but not fast is not the same as economic driving. I drive somewhat fast compared to most other drivers and still manage to get good values. But for that you need a training and you have watch the traffic in detail to see when to get off the gas, where to accelerate fast to reach you cruising speed asap, etc. ... So no, the (old) Mazda 2 isn't as cheap to run as many modern rivals, but 7 years ago it was on the same level as the rest of the super minis...

    I don't see what's so new about the Mazda 2, new bumper, new headlights and new wheels? And the review is a bit pathetic, 1:38 "4 wheel ABS" ? and the seats dont go completly flat...ignoring the reviews where the seats don't go completly flat and still praise them for being completly flat...
