2010 Mazda 2 Sport 1.5 petrol from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Go kart handling and ride quality

Faults:

Nothing except this car got through suspension parts for fun. Failed two MOTs on lower arms, coil springs etc. Also annoying knocking noise from steering - MOT advisory.

General Comments:

Economical, quite quick, well equipped - cruise, climate control, auto lights and wipers, electric folding mirrors. Very good handling and roadholding. Fun to drive.

Down side - incredibly hard ride. The most uncomfortable car I've ever driven. Seats also too hard.

Front wing was starting to go rusty.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
