The Zoom-Zoom driving experience that Mazda strives for has two key attributes: 1) a sense of linear acceleration and deceleration that responds crisply to how far the accelerator pedal is depressed, allowing the driver to control car speed as desired; and 2) a sense of liveliness through immediate response to the accelerator for quick off-the-line acceleration and overtaking. The development team targeted a performance feel reflecting enhancement of both of these key attributes without adversely impacting on the Mazda 2's superior fuel economy as a subcompact car.
Nimble Handling and a Stable Ride;
The new Mazda 2 inherits a highly regarded suspension system, which has MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion-beam axle at the rear. With improved steering and braking systems, the resulting dynamic performance yields consistently responsive handling and a smooth, stable ride that draws much from the legendary MX-5.
The Mazda 2’s EPA ratings say to expect 28 mpg city and 34 highway (35 with the manual), and the lead feet in our office achieved 28 mpg, partly as a function of constantly flooring the throttle to get the automatic to downshift and put the engine in a more usable rev range. (We saw 33 mpg from the manual-equipped 2, although it saw a lot more highway driving.)
