Mazda 2 in the Market
I've driven pretty much everything in the small-car field, and the Mazda2 is
one I'd recommend any shopper take for a test drive. Its ride is the best in the
category, yet it's still more fun to drive than many. If you're the type who
likes something sporty, you'll like the Mazda2. If you want a car that won't
beat you up — you'll like the Mazda2.
I'd also recommend the manual transmission, even though I didn't dislike the
automatic. I just think the manual is the icing on the cake when it comes to
driving enjoyment.
