1.3 TS2 5dr Hatchback

A little beauty

Having tried the 75 ps version I decided that I wanted a bit more shove and found an 86 ps at a nearby dealer who knocked off £400 after a bit of pushing from me. It is a bit of a head turner in the white finish which I obtained which pleases my daughter who I really bought it for no end. She is far more image concious than I am. I found the instant power which I obtained from my usual depression of the pedal a bit disconcerting initially but soon got used to it. We both found the car a vast improvement over the Corsa which she owned before and quite frankly just love it. I notice that another reveiwer says he doesn't get the hoped for fuel economy, well he obviously does not know how to drive sensibly as we are getting well over 50 mpg. It really is quite roomy inside for it's size and I would not have bought it if it were not as I am 6' 2" and 14 stone. The other main reason for buying this car is Mazda reliability. Many people do not realise just how reliable Mazda cars are unless they look at the relevant tables but this is a very important issue for me. I wish they made an "estate" with a suitable engine because I would be buying if they did.
