What it is: A sporty
subcompact car introduced in Europe, now coming to the U.S.
What we like about it: Being
from
Mazda, the MAZDA2 was developed from the ground up with
performance in mind. Add to that the frugality of a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder power plant, and you’re left with a car that’s heavy on smiles
and light on the wallet.
Bottom line: Looks like the
Ford Fiesta has some competition from cousin Mazda.
