  • If there's one thing that the Mazda MX-5 taught us, it's that a car can be fun even without a lot of power. The Mazda 2 Hatchback premium follows the same principle. Its naturally aspirated 1.5 liter engine may not produce much of power but it may be the most engaging and the most fun to drive subcompact hatchback in its class. In this video we'll do a full review of the 2023 Mazda 2 hatchback. We'll drive it in the city, on the highway, in the twisties, we'll test its fuel consumption etc.

    As a jazz rs owner and have driven the mazda 2, and i can tell you the mazda is more fun to drive, yes on paper the jazz has more power but mazda compensate for its better transmission and longer gears. Also, interior quality is better, not so much as the space, unlike the jazz.

      That's because your Jazz RS has a CVT Transmission.

    I own Swift and it's a fun car to drive. But i got a chance to test drive Mazda 2 and i gotta say it was on another level of fun.

    Wonderful review. I'm glad the Mazda 2 won you over in the end 😊
    Depending on where one lives - if it is similarly priced to its competitors than the Mazda 2 cannot be overlooked.
    I bought my Mazda 2 new in 2011. Very reliable, and fun to drive. Recently traded it in and my husband gifted me the 2024 Mazda 2. I did consider other vehicles but nothing could (for me) beat the Mazda 2.

    Well done review, kudos and thanks. This hatch may be aging, but in the same way as fine wine (based on this and the other reviews I've watched, plus I've checked out an actual unit in a showroom). The way I see it, not ideal as an only car for families, but seems a solid choice for a 2nd car for 1 to 2 person economical commuting.

    • @Safiyyah.610
      @Safiyyah.610 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes, I agree. I don't understand the push for new generations so often. It's already great and needs minor adjustments - not an overhaul.
      We used the Mazda2 as our only car until my son was 6. Then we had to get a second car as I had to do after school pick up.
      My husband got the 2023 Mazda 3 sedan and I kept my Mazda2. But he still loves driving the Mazda2 😂

    Does the estimated 26kpl mean that it is the consumption of the car @72 kph until it gets empty?

    • @jaywalkur
      @jaywalkur  Před rokem +1

      That's the average consumption of the car given the traffic conditions and my pedal input. As long as those factors don't change, fuel consumption should remain the same.

      No, not DCG. It has a naturally aspirated petrol engine and is a 6 speed automatic.

      He mentioned some points comparing the two cars towards the end of the video. Personally, I don't like the Mazda 2 rear exterior looks for this hatch variant. If they still have sedan variant I would take that in a heartbeat.

      Yes, a lot of people are now buying SUVs so other bigger vehicles won't bully them.
      I bought my Mazda 2 new in 2011. Amazing car. Reliable and fun. It was a mechanical gem. Recently traded it in while it still has life left. My husband bought me a 2024 Mazda 2. I considered other vehicles but at the end of the day there was nothing better than the Mazda 2 (in my opinion).

    • @Safiyyah.610
      @Safiyyah.610 Před 3 měsíci +1

      I forgot to mention that I live in Australia and Mazda is very decently priced.
      When looking to buy a new car I considered:
      -Suzuki Swift - even though the lower trims of the Suzuki Swift are cheaper than the Mazda 2 - they are lacking safety features compared to the Mazda 2. The top trim (GLX Turbo) has all the safety features, and was comparable in price to Mazda. But I am unsure about turbo engines. I appreciate the quirky looks of the Suzuki Swift but I prefer the Mazda 2 looks, and the interior is inferior compared to the Mazda 2.
      -Toyota Yaris - more expensive than the Mazda 2, I don't like the looks, and the interior is inferior to Mazda.
      -Kia Picanto - great price with decent safety features, I like the look, and the interior was decent. But at the end of the day it was too small for my needs.
      I also considered the following subcompact SUVs - Mazda CX-3 (rear space is smaller than the Mazda 2), Kia Stonic (only GT-Line trim is now available in Australia which is a DCT and I am unsure about that), and the Hyundai Venue (I personally am undecided about the looks).
      So, as you can see - the Mazda 2 was the best car for me 😊

      Mazdas naturally aspirated engines are very reliable. I bought a Mazda 2 in 2011 new. It was a mechanical gem for 13 years. Traded it in while it still had life left. And my husband gifted me a 2024 Mazda 2.
      Mazdas are are reliable daily drivers with good driving dynamics, and they look great.
      Not everyone wants a turbo engine or an EV. We don't all need to have fast cars. It's good to have options 😊

      Mazda3 is a great car.
      I had my Mazda2 from new since 2011. So much fun to drive. I recently traded it in while it still had life. My husband bought me a 2024 Mazda 2.
      Actually, my husband fell in love with Mazda after driving my Mazda2. He bought a 2023 Mazda3 sedan last year.
      My husband drives the Mazda2 and Mazda3 equal amounts.
      They are both great cars. It depends on your budget and what suits your needs.
