With a smooth transmission and clutch, this easily maneuverable car presents an excellent value for money. Mazda 2 comes with a range of tech goodies such as built-in navigation, and as a compact hatchback, it is a great competitor for a Corsa or Fiesta. Very happy with the purchase!

Very comfortable light care, enjoyable to drive and keeps you on your toes even with its low horse power of 85 and this cheap car insurance and road tax can’t go wrong.

Mazda2 (2015-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Improved safety after 2020 refresh | Boot is on the small side |
| Low running costs | Non-turbocharged engines can feel flat |
| Fun to drive | No EV model offered |
Quick Summary
The Mazda2 (2015-present) is an often-overlooked supermini that deserves far greater recognition. Now in its fourth generation, it combines distinctive styling with impressive driving dynamics and practical everyday usability. The car has received a minor update in 2018 and a full facelift in late 2019, keeping it fresh and competitive. With a well-laid-out dashboard, good interior space for two adults in the rear, and a 280-litre boot, it offers a solid package for supermini buyers seeking something different from the usual suspects.
The Mazda2 excels on the road, with accurate steering, plenty of grip, and a snappy manual gearbox that makes driving genuinely enjoyable. Its non-turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engines (75bhp, 90bhp, or 115bhp) require working fairly hard but reward enthusiastic drivers with engaging performance. Running costs are impressively low, with fuel economy figures in the upper 50s to low 60s mpg, whilst insurance groups range from 13 to 16 out of 50. Equipment levels are generous across the range, with later models featuring seven-inch touchscreens, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto as standard. It's a great all-round package that punches above its weight in the competitive supermini class.
Best for: Drivers seeking an engaging, fun-to-drive supermini with low running costs, those who appreciate distinctive styling and quality interior finishes, and buyers wanting something different from mainstream rivals.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum boot space, drivers wanting turbocharged engines with strong mid-range pull, or buyers seeking an electric vehicle option.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mazda2 | 4/5 | 4.6/5 | 35.4% | 4.3/5 |
| Ford Fiesta | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 36.9% | 4.4/5 |
| Volkswagen Polo | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 34.5% | 4.5/5 |
| Vauxhall Corsa | 3/5 | 4.5/5 | 41.2% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Mazda2 if: You seek an engaging, fun-to-drive supermini with low running costs, appreciate distinctive styling and quality interior finishes, or want something different from mainstream rivals.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum boot space, want turbocharged engines with strong mid-range pull, or require an electric vehicle option.
Competitive Position: The Mazda2 (2015-present) is an underrated supermini that offers a compelling all-round package. Whilst the Ford Fiesta remains the benchmark for driving dynamics and the Volkswagen Polo leads on premium appeal, the Mazda2 holds its own with engaging handling, low running costs, and generous equipment levels. It offers better value than the Polo and more driving engagement than the Corsa, making it an excellent choice for discerning buyers who appreciate quality and character. Its overlooked status in the market means excellent value for money on the used market.
