They kept playing the commercial during last nights game. I think it's OK. Maybe if I were a girl wanting a first car. Might consider it. Will I ever drive it? No.

you should go drive one- i did and came away really impressed.

it DEFINITELY needs a body kit and wheels to look at all even close to being a guy's car though. no matter how it drives, it does look very girly stock. blah.

It doesn't look mean and masculine, but I dont really think it's girly. If the mazda 2 scares you away because it looks girly, you have masculinity issues.

I do agree that it'd be fun to drive it with a few mods... I honestly think the right color matched with some decent wheels are all it would really have to have to make a pretty significant difference. It would be awesome if they released a MS version.

:anger: :tear:

yeah, in black with a decent pair of 17's or even 16's would make a world of difference. i guess they chose green to solicit thoughts of good fuel economy? idk but it looks dumb and GIRLY in green. i said it :rofl:

I would still go with the Lancer

Starts at 14.7k 22/31mpg 152hp engine stability / traction control a million airbags and it looks a lot cooler.

just read a review of the @ against the Fiesta and Fit. The 2 came in 2nd, although the reviewer said it felt cheap. the Fit came in 1st, the Fiesta in last, mainly because the Fiestas' slow. The Fiesta has a rock solid chassis, is quiet and looks high class, the reviewer notes, not bad for a 1st small car outing.
My opinion? The Mazda2 is cheap and won't last long but is fun to drive. I think the Ford Fiesta will turn out to be the better car and further down the line if a performance model is created will shine with its' better chassis.
The Fit will remain as is, a good but ugly car.

the chassis is the same- Mazda created the chassis that is under both Fiesta and Mazda 2

Yeah, this ^ doesn't make any sense to me. Did the reviewer leave the test track and drive home in his Bentley?


The 2 is low priced, but I would hardly call it cheap. The 2's looks are ..meh.., though bigger wheels and that aeropackage (not available right now) would go a long way towards improving it.


But where I test drove it, the dealership is also a ford dealership, so they had a Fiesta sitting next to it, and it was disproportional and fugly compared to the 2.

They have the same chassis, so I don't believe your chassis comment.

test drove a mazda 2 before the paramore concert today and i retract my previous statement...

its no 8...but i would pay 14k for it.

definitely worth it

I'm trading my 8 for a 2!

^ that's hideous.

I'm kind of glad I can't see the front.

here ya go RIWWP, http://www.mevic-carbon.com/En_Artic...?ArticleID=339

On the other hand AutExe kits are amazing, subtle and stylish,,,
They also have a whole performance parts line for the 2

lol on take off the rx8 and the 2 are probably deadlocked side by side

yeah but the turns are where its at....

anyways i think the body kits make them look pretty cool (NO WING!!!):nono:

but you would trade an 8 for it :eek: ...not me

Why so much hate on the fiesta. I loved that thing when i test drove it.
