I need a DD and i was thinking of a mazda 2. Mileage seems decent, and if i could get into one for under 15 i will do it i think. 2100 pound curb weight, so why not. With some sways and an intake and decent tires, it could be fun, right? Am i a retard?

 

I'm assuming you're talking about this:


(I actually didn't even know these damn things even existed lol)

I think its a better looking version of a yaris. Much better looking. But 15? ****. I'd pay no more than about 10 for a car like that. I mean its as econo as an econobox can get

 

I've given the 2 some consideration, yeah. I like small cars...go figure.

Having seen one at a local auto show a few months back, it just really seems to lack much in character. Plus the version we'll be getting has that typical smiley front end.
Last I heard, NA will only be getting the five door initially. Bleh... Now, show me a 3-door Mazdaspeed version, and we can talk. Couple of prototypes that were around a few years ago looked pretty impressive.

While it's almost exactly the same car, I much prefer the Fiesta. Can't quite pin down why, though. Maybe it seems a bit less pedestrian in the most base form.

 

I like the fiesta.. just sayin.

 

New cars are for suckers.

 

qft

 

 

lol

scaled way wrong

 

No way man, mine has the optional 12" wheels, too. Looks just like that.

 

QFT. Again.



I will always think of this when I hear that name.



Best. Car. Review. Ever.

 

lol

 

Well posting this thread is the closest i have ever been to buying a new car.

 

i work at a ford dealership in sales and if you havent experience a fiesta in person yet i recomend you do if your looking into the econobox cars.

at first i didnt really like them from the pics i saw and some videos but once you actually see the car in person it actually looks amazing.

we r waiting for ours to come in but once it does ill be the first to take it out on the streets.

 

mazda 2 looks better than the fiesta imo.

 

My mom bought one last year. 3-door, GT-M bumper and spoiler, black, 16" wheels, 1.5 motor, AC, PS, heated seats, CC, everything basically. I've been DD-ing it for the past few months since she got a miata too and mine's still on jackstands. Took it to le mans without issues. Milage is pretty ok. 6-6.5 l/100km usually. It could use some more power but it's a pretty good daily driver unless you need to haul big stuff all the time.

 

Soccer cars! You want to join a soccer car league don't you.

 

The smoke grenades are a perfect fit in the cupholders! That was great.

 

Really? The cars are the same length.

 

The Mazda 2 is the new Fiesta, but it is being released before the Ford. I think it's a pretty ***** car. I was on their mailing list for updates, and was reading through the press release. They said they had two main criteria with the car to give it the "zoom-zoom" feeling. The first of these attributes was that was the gas pedal was pressed, the car would react and accelerate, and when released, it would slow down. I stopped at that point.

 

Are you serious? I've experienced that in some other piece of **** brand new rental american cars too. It's ******* fantabulous when you are headed down a 5% hill and slowing down.
