Test Drive: 2011 Mazda2 GS


with a big brother like the
award-winning mazda3 you think this
little hatch would have a bit of an
inferiority complex hi I’m Rhonda life
stone of watchmojo.com and today we’re
going to prove that the mazda2 has
anything but if you know the interior of
the mazda3 then you’ll recognize the
interior of them as a 2 right away
they’re very similar however the masa to
is quite a bit simpler this is an
economy cards in the same class at the
yaris the verse and the fiesta still has
a very functional radio all the natural
hookups that you would think except it
doesn’t have a USB or bluetooth which to
me seems a bit strange because the mass
of two is aimed at a market of buyers
who are younger and who will want a USB
and bluetooth needles to say it does
work very well you’ve got the steering
wheel mounted controls here which on
this particular model which is the GS it
comes standard everything in the car is
very easy to get you for the driver and
the passenger and that’s mainly because
the car is so small this is a hatch it
is a small vehicle it is also for door
so you’d think you’d have a bit more
room in the back don’t really and the
trunk is actually quite small as well
but if you’re buying them as a 2 you’re
not buying it to be a large vehicle
you’re not trying to pack a bunch of
people in here or groceries or luggage
it might be a four-door but the back
seat isn’t that large and unfortunately
neither it’s a chunk this is a city car
it parks very easily it drives in small
spaces it might be a simple car but
that’s what it’s meant to be the Massa
to drive is pretty much the way you’d
expect it to it’s small so it handles
very well and while it has a very small
engine 1.5 liter four-cylinder that
pushes at 100 horsepower 98 torque which
are not great numbers on paper because
it’s such a light car just over a
thousand kilos the power to weight ratio
actually makes it a lot of fun to drive
it makes it seem a lot faster than it is
but I don’t like about the Massachusetts
this card doesn’t like to be in first or
second here it’s very choppy it’s very
twitchy and when I’m in traffic and I
have it in first or second it’s just
very uncomfortable to be it likes to be
in third and above which you know I
guess with any gearbox you’re going to
have your little quirks and quarks but
to me II them at the two because it’s
such a small and simple car probably be
a first buyers car it should be very
simple to drive all through the gears I
don’t know than that then as the tube
does what it’s supposed to do when you
have a color like this this bright
vibrant green that pretty much makes you
stand out no matter where you go it’s
hard not to have a smile on your face
when you’re driving this car
with hot hatches taking the market by
storm cars like the masta to just go to
show the smaller really can be better
