Drive Impression
Minor changes by themselves often don't add much to a vehicle. However with the Mazda2 - taking account of all of the upgraded changes it has certainly introduced worthwhile improvements.When last tested the Mazda2 impressed with its class leading interior space, its excellent ride comfort and handling and its good level of performance. It has always been a pretty complete package.
Size wise the Mazda2 remains unchanged. The external changes to the '2' haven´t altered the internal cabin dimensions. Importantly, the body shell has been reinforced in critical areas to improve stiffness.
The improved body shell doesn't hurt the Mazda2's already good on-road manners and on the short drive program the revised '2' gave a confident, poised account of itself. Electric power steering replaces the previous hydraulic setup and whilst light at low speeds, assistance is reduced greatly at mid to higher speeds giving a lot more feel back to the driver especially during cornering.
The engine size remains unchanged at 1.5 litres, as do the output figures, 82kW @ 6,000 rpm and 141Nm @ 4,000 rpm. On the road the improved torque delivery meant that you didn't have to explore the upper reaches of the rev limit every time on take off.
Combined with a fly by wire (electronic) throttle and an improved torque converter in the automatic version, and a slight reduction in engine weight, the improvements freshen the dynamics and improve an earlier criticism that the engine felt a little ?flat? at low revs.
Inside, cabin design is still fresh and contemporary, benefitting from the new trim colours and materials.
The Mazda2 has been a solid performer since its launch. The facelift on the surface appears to be slight, (don't forget the retractable key), but the improvements have kept the Mazda2 competitive and for buyers looking for high levels of safety from a small car the Mazda2 needs to be considered.
