This a great achievement for Mazda and it would surely boost their image. I have to agree that Mazda 2 is a really great car which is really fuel efficient and fun to ride on. Besides that, it's price is much affordable compare to other car plus it can be easily modified to add some more cool accessories such as body skirts, vent visors, turbo and much more. Two thumbs-up on this car and congratulations Mazda.
This is one of the coolest car I've seen from Mazda this year beside the CX-7. Impressive car!
That's nice! I have to agree with this because my friend just recently bought one of this car and it is really such a nice compact car. It is fuel-efficient yet it has the right power and speed to perform well on the road. I also like the design of the interior especially the dashboard, gauge, car starters, sound system and seats too which are really comfy to ride on plus it has sleek design on the front of the car which makes this car really cool.
Well that's the surprise of the year, I would have most definitely put my bet on Volkswagen but it look other brands are way in front. On the other hand whichever brand manages to this top deserves all the glory. Mazda did it!
