Zoom Zoom, again
Once again, Mazda’s engineers seem to have hit the mark in proving that their whole ‘Zoom Zoom’ ideology isn’t just a clump of marketing fluff. Most test-drivers should find the 2 just that little bit sportier, more responsive and more entertaining than it probably ‘needs’ to be.
End of the day, the responsiveness, refinement, styling and sportiness dialled into this machine should help Mazda meet their goal of giving Canadian subcompact shoppers a high-excitement, high-energy alternative for their new subcompact dollar.
Those interested in one of our market’s most dynamic and entertaining subcompacts should put Mazda’s latest work at or near the top of their ‘To Test Drive’ list.
The 2011 2 is available now, and comes priced from under $14,000.
