The 2023 Mazda 2 is the small hatch that thinks it’s a grown‑up, with tidy handling and a cabin that feels a class up. Its 1.5‑litre petrol is eager rather than fast, delivering around 82 kW and 144 Nm through a six‑speed auto or manual, and sipping roughly 5–5.5 L/100km in mixed driving.
Interior tech is straightforward—Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, sensible safety kit like AEB and lane warnings—and the ergonomics are spot on. Downsides? The back seat is tight, the boot is modest (hatch around 250 L), and highway overtakes demand planning. Value in Australia is strong, with new prices typically in the low‑to‑mid $20k and nearly‑new used examples often a few grand less. If you want a cheerful city runabout that doesn’t feel cheap, it’s a solid bet; if you crave punch, bring patience.
