The model

Read full review

The Mazda 2 has a reasonably plush interior and very economical engines, when it comes to real-world fuel economy. All but the basic trim level offers a reasonable standard of equipment, too. Yet these days it has been overtaken by much newer models. Rivals that include the Seat Ibiza offer more space, better handling, a more comfortable ride, and greater refinement.

The trim

See full equipment

An upgrade to SE-L Nav gives you Autonomous Emergency Braking as well as a 7.0in infotainment touchscreen. It also gives you sat-nav, a DAB radio, upgraded speakers and an extra USB port.

The engine

See full engine specs

We’re yet to try the entry-level 74bhp version, but we think it will simply be too underpowered for most drivers.
