Review
Mazda 2 has stepped out of its traditional Hatchback look to a modern city sedan car. Despite its 1.5l engine, it is amazing power as compared to other cars in the 1.5l category. On my first drive on mazda 2, i accidentally ignited the engine twice because when the vehicle is stationary, the car is quiet to the extent that i thought it was switched off. On the exterior, its design causes it to stand out among other cars (easily spotted in a big carpark). Also, the front design of the mazda 2 sedan is a cheerful smile which brightens up my morning. I named it the "bucked tooth" beauty (because of the positioning of the number plate). Compared to its brother, the hatchback 2, the sedan 2 provides a big boot for families who does groceries shopping on a weekly basis. Features wise, the car is lacking side indicators and modification opportunities. However, i am pleased with the original sound system installed in this car. No doubt that car watchers were skeptical on this launch, i am proud to be an owner of Madza 2 2010 sedan. I bought it without a test drive and i did not regret at all. My Unforgettable First Car: Mazda 2 Sedan 2010

What I like
1) Fuel consumption of the mazda 2 @ abt 15km/l.
2) Cheerful outlook from the front.
3) Unique design on the back.
4) Big boot capacity
5) Sound System
6) Automated retractable mirrors
7) Easy to handle (especially parallel parking)
8) Value for money
9) Quiet engine but powerful performance
10) Convenient steering wheel controls

What I do not like
1) Lack of Exterior Modification Opportunity
2) Missing side indicators
3) Cheap feel when it comes to air con controls

Just drove the Mazda 2 sedan for some time. Will definitely recommend it to those first timer thinking of buying a car.

What I like
The car boot which is large and spacious. A good family car.

What I do not like
The simple design.

Review
Test drove this sedan version from Mazda. From the exterior looks, its tall and wider than some out there.

Along the drive, gear change is smooth and quiet when rev the engine... maybe is the VVTi... wonder how it drives with manual gearbox.

Interior is basics only... nothing much to shout about... only that at the handbrake side, there is no arm rest or fully covered box like most sedans.

Option of remote boot release, reverse camera is great to have. Only hope to see reverse camera is mounted somewhere that looks "factory fitted". Current mounting looks more like from outside fitted.

With 16 inch wheels are good enough for stability drive.

Overall, its ok to get it if you don't mind the interior simplicity looks.

What I like
- Remote boot release
- Reverse camera (best if mounting can change to look more "factory fitted")
- Optional to have manual gearbox to some drivers
- Huge boot space

What I do not like
- Pricy for a 1.6L compared to others who comes with more features in the same category (with or without the current COE changes)
- Too simple interior
- No side signal indicator
