I know automatic is the way to go in the time we in however the manual ya this car 🤷♂️, IT MOOOVES!!! Sports Mode on the auto simply holds the Revs longer which translates to longer pulls, not a fan, just get a manual and your smile will widen. The 1.5 engen has a 50/50 give or take ratio. If you cruise nice nicely with it, the petrol is super and if you drive like a houligan wanting to pass the Polo driver ( which by the way you can if you wondering😂..) then from Pretoria to Carnival city is R300 😩. Suspension harder than your Polo but way more precise even at high speed meneuvering.. Has that go cart fun engaging drive. I was told curve ya R21 from east Rand mall to Pretoria near the airport you effortlessly take it ka 160km/h "I was told... Won't incriminate myself on a social platform😅". Done Cape Town with it, houligan driving going (3 full tanks and in 12 hours from the east rand😭😂) and a more relaxed drive coming back, poured ko cape and added on ko bloem only. It went and came back and smooth. You fall in love with it more as you spend time with it, drive other cars sure but getting back to it, you will have that smile revived.
I see you got one. Even the auto is quick and I mean very quick. Doesn't look like it but do a drag race at a traffic light and you will wonder why everyone is so far behind. Best part is the curves and the up hills... It has the best power to body weight ration I'm told. Ooh and the auto also comes with manual mode, the individual even has gear flaps behind the steering wheel... learn to use those and one will touch you. By the way it likes it at high revs, and no it's not complaining, it's getting you in the mood.
At least it is aging gracefully 🤷♂️ My friend bought one last year and she's super happy with it. But yeah, at this price point most buyers will either buy a Polo or look for a small SUV.
I call this car Koko Mazda2 because it's so old lol... And slow. But it does hold up well especially the interior materials and comfort. Not keen on the back styling, but no shame yona it's been around the block. It can probably navigate you without GPS.
Great review maseve and let me be your 🐿️🐕😂. Am not a Mazda fan but I can live with that car. It's stunning all round but I'd go with polo vivo gt reef blue and left with 19 K ya hennessey
@Reba S cars, will it be possible to link,payment plans as well on your car reviews, hopefully the car brands can do something to assist, you are very thorough with your reviews are mind opening in real decision makings 🙏🏿
Lovely review. It's really premium-fully agree with you. I love MAZDA's conventional 6-speed transmission. Yes, it's just a nice city runner. These cars are built to last (reliability)...But the price HMMMM
I’ve been driving this generation since 2016 (Individual), moved to a Individual Plus in 2018 and am in the process of buying a new Individual now. I’ve NEVER had the screen overheat and the “sluggishness” she talks about in the review is absolute rubbish. This is a very nippy car. Maybe it is a Gauteng thing but at the coast it flies! The complaint about the controls for the screen is also rubbish. They are perfectly placed to use without taking your eyes off the road. The only reason I traded the 2016 model in was to get the automatic version and the only reason I am trading my current 2018 model in is because it is 6 years old now. This is a fantastic car.
Not a fan of that screen, yoh it's so... Strange, the system font and icons are so big, it's giving "I need to see clearly". Also, no sunroof. But the fit and finish is super nice, I was in a Cx30 and despite the infotainment screen gripes, the fit and finish was really nice

Those touchscreen don't like hot temperatures - my Peugeot 208 hatchback does the same... on that note, a 208 is much sexier for less... yes it's less power, but the ratio of power to weight is what counts. Lastly, for R380K, in terms of value, that's a Suzuki Fronx .or a Peugeot 2008 crossover/SUV with enough change for lots of champagne. I don't know how Mazda justifies an old design & engine at that price
I thought the engine sound was just my car, now I get it. I agree, Mazda is kind lazy when you press the accelerator. But overall I love Mazda it’s been good to for almost 4 years and it’s pretty-owned. Mazda is pretty
Hey Tsholo are the car parts expensive There's one for sale that is sold second hand but I'm scared to try coz maybe the parts are crazy when it comes to price
Mazda 2 is in 4th generation but this is a very good updated model like a all new Mazda 2 why not a Mazda BT20 Rustler hafton bakkie based on it ? that will be great !
😢 Unfortunately this approach by Mazda trying to be premium isn't really working because it makes them over price their cars and turn to lose loyal customers for that. R380 000 is a lot of money for a compact hatchback this is why hatchback will die because by that money one could just go get a budget SUV and get more car for their money
Hello, my thoughts about that Car, First it is a Car for one or two adult Persons and not a Family Car.Space is here always a Compromise. The Motor is a Classic and you have to keep in Mind how to drive a Car with that Motor and with that manual Transmission, is has no Turbo. All the other Companys are building Cars with 1,0 Liter and a Turbo. I would always prefer this "Oldschool" Mazda Motor 1,5 Liter without a Turbo. The Price for Mazda 2 ist always behind the other Companys.The VW Polo for Example is much more expansiver. This is the last classic Car.
I think Mazda's, like this one, have the design language down, but the price they go for will definitely have you thinking twice. I remember my dad was given a Mazda 2 or 3 back in the day when his Tazz went to the panelbeaters, I liked it enough that I thought we should get one 😂
My Sister I'd rather go for HAVAL H1 (GWM M4), Less than R200k second hand, Less than R250k brand new. Hard body 7.1L 100kmh. Engine 1.5VVT ::: At that mazda 2 Price I'd get myself a nice HAVAL Jolion..🎉😂

Thanks for this one Reba, been looking for this Mazda 2 review. Very nice looking car and very underrated for some reason
Your turn-around time has been amazing! 😮
😂
Must do the cx3 next✨🙏
It has an attractive look Mazda with the CX models went out ❤❤
Here because Mr How Much said so. With ❤ from 🇳🇦
Lol you are refreshing in the car reviewing space, may this channel grow🔥🔥🔥
At least it is aging gracefully 🤷♂️
My friend bought one last year and she's super happy with it. But yeah, at this price point most buyers will either buy a Polo or look for a small SUV.
In terms of looks it leading followed by Rio, 1.5 moves 😮😮
Lovely budget car for a small family, absolutely gorgeous car. 😅
It really is!
Kanti what determines a budget car? is it the price or the specs, in my opinion I think 380k is too steep for a 'budget' car
This is definitely not a budget car... Imagine what you can buy for 380k.
@@zakesthomas7138 exactly thats too much
It's a 'baby's first car' for ppl whose parents might have a bit more in the bank account
@@kbreezy1581 Definitely!

You're so well spoken ❤
I'm playing catch up on your videos, its been a while. Welcome to the HDR Club. Some of the B-Roll Shots of the car were stunning.
Why isn't hasn't anyone done the i20 N line review? Noma Hyundai akafuni nayo 😂😅
Being checking out this Car Thanks for the review 💯
Great review maseve and let me be your 🐿️🐕😂. Am not a Mazda fan but I can live with that car. It's stunning all round but I'd go with polo vivo gt reef blue and left with 19 K ya hennessey
The blue Vivo GT looks great, but it only has two airbags 🙅♂️

Please review. MAZDA CX3
that akena monna sounded deep.....🥲
😂😂😂😂
How is the driving experience?
Not a fan of that screen, yoh it's so... Strange, the system font and icons are so big, it's giving "I need to see clearly". Also, no sunroof. But the fit and finish is super nice, I was in a Cx30 and despite the infotainment screen gripes, the fit and finish was really nice
The car looks beautiful mara the price and that infotainment ke a big NO ka 380K I would look for a new KIA Rio or a pre owned BMW 1 series.
Or a CX3
As a petrol head u would rather go for the top of the range Kia Rio 2023 or 2022 model
Poly metal gray Audi & Volkswagen models also have very nice .
This means in South Africa no infotainment, especially in December, might as well melt , my suggestion move with a jbl speaker 😂

I put a cover or towel over my Mazda 2 16 plate radio when the sun is out..no problem. 🙂
Guys are mazda parts expensive? 😢 I really love Mazda but don't really have info about it like that in SA

How old is that interior.
"Ake na monna, akena katse, akena pudi, akenaaaa....😂😂😃No man Reba we can fix this mama😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mazda & sluggish engines🖇🖇🖇is it a CVT engine?
I see the sluggishness but this car is dated I will pass
The price is not giving budget 😂😂
I enjoyed this a bit too much 🤣
I see a sport knob what happens when you switch to it?
Car goes into sport mode
It holds the revs longer and chows more fuel 🫣

Buy the mid spec
The engine is not giving, am owing one😂
I’ve driven it, it’s perfect in manual and more fast than I expected😍🤞🏽
That is surely a cvt transmission hearing from that screaming sound of the car

R380k rather go for its big brother Mazda 3 2.0 Astina second hand with Bose sound system
Or CX3
This or swift?
Baleno or Polo
@@RebaSCars both don’t exist in morocco hence my question
@otiel9165 oh, Swift then
@@RebaSCars wow i expected you to pick mazda 2 bc it's more premium inside queen
I would rather get a polo life or clio v intense
its absolutely stunning but i would buy a swift GLX ka ya gae ka 90k
The interior is dated Mazda has to come up with new cluster design and new infotainment
380k can get you a demo Mazda 3. A Polo TSI with a sunroof. Aowa Mazda, re ka loke.
Its nice but i prefer mazda cx60
Good choice
380... bae nyaka ya bona yohhhhhhhhhhh
Beautiful car but I’d go for a used CX-5
Good choice!
U South African?
Yes
The car is really small, otherwise NYC car
UK - 60% / Germany 8%
Too expensive for such a small car.
3 bo kae? Absolutely not
if this is automatic I'll stop watching the video
Mazda flopped with the temperature thing because they placed the infotainment system there how dumb😂😂😂
My Sister I'd rather go for HAVAL H1 (GWM M4),
Less than R200k second hand,
Less than R250k brand new.
Hard body
7.1L 100kmh.
Engine 1.5VVT
