2011 Mazda2 Reviews and Video

If there is one thing the 2011 Mazda2 reviews prove, is that there is still a place for test driving a vehicle before you settle on a purchasing decision. You can check out the online pictures, easily compare Mazda2 and Ford Fiesta stats to each other, and even find the best price by checking competing new car price quotes online. But what is not so easily deciphered are the physical intangibles such as a cars handling or quickness.

This is why if you are seriously considering a vehicle, you should jump in it and try it for yourself. Because every now and again a car pops out and surprise everyone beyond what the stat sheet says it is. The Mazda2 isn't the top for fuel efficient cheap cars. Nor does the 2011 Mazda2 best prices rank among the cheapest of the cheap. And with its tiny trunk, it isn't even among the biggest for storage. But what the Mazda2 is is fun to drive.

Recently Steve from Lotpro.com had the opportunity to test drive our loaner 2011 Mazda Mazda2 for a week and gives his impression. You can find the entire 2011 Mazda2 review below but if you want a quick summery here it is. The Mazda2 is fun to drive, excellent handling especially in the corners with adequate room for seating in both the front and rear. And while the interior isn't luxurious, it's comparable to other cheap cars. But it does lack advanced telemetric options, has limited trunk room, and that big grin like front bumper is something you either love or hate.

Price wise the 2011 Mazda2 best prices aren't quite low as a stripped to base Ford Fiesta, but neither is a fully loaded Mazda2 as expensive as a loaded Fiesta which loads up on telemetric systems. Comparably, competing new car price quotes are pretty similar for where they overlap. In the end the big separator is needs. Everyone wants good handling and to have a good time but some people need to haul more than a book bag and a passenger. So let your needs be your decision maker. And if you still cannot pick, then test drive your top choices and let the road be your guide. Still having trouble deciding? Bring a coin to flip with you on your test run. The salesman might look at you weird but it gets the job done.
