Mazda launched the fourth generation Mazda 2 here in Malaysia recently. Two variants, one a hatchback, the other a sedan. Both get the same specs inside and out. The only difference is a boot and the other a hatch. Both cost RM88,000 or thereabouts and are seriously well equipped for the price. What this new Mazda 2 brings to the table are a lot of good things for supermini buyers out there.
If you compare with the older Mazda 2,
the new one isn't based on the Ford Fiesta. It isn't all cute and
cuddly anymore and is not all spare and very no-frills looking like
the previous generation. What you get is basically a miniaturized
Mazda 3 (or if you want to go all the way, the Mazda 6) in terms of
external looks.
