My new Mazda2 Sport in "Spirited Green" zoom-zoom!

[duffman]

Ordered myself a new car a few months ago and picked it up this Monday. Just got a few pics, might get some more "artsy" photos in a better location than my drive!

Its a 59 Mazda2 Sport 1.5 petrol, 5dr with metallica spirited green paint - yes just like the TV adverts! Advertising does work haha!

Looks like a nice everyday car. It's a good choice of colour. If it was black or grey it would probably look like most other 59 plate hatchbacks.

I like that. Nice and compact, great colour and should be a nice drive for an everyday car. What's it like as a town driving car? Is it comfortable? I haven't driven one, so I'm interested in what it's sport qualities are like.

I quite like the look of these, especially in that colour. However I don't think I could live with that centre console!

Very comfy imo, specially for a little car.

Nice tight gearbox and the petrol version is nippy too. The diesel isn't lovely but still moves along and at 2k opens up a little more.

Nice little car, but I'm not a fan of the interior. Good colour choice

Yeah its very comfortable, seats are very soft

Loads of room too, im 6 ft 4 and I was worried it would be a bit of a squeeze, but seat is height adjustable, and so is steering column, moved the seat down and all the way back, and steering column up, and if anything I had too much room, moved my seat forward now to get a better position for pedals!

It does seem very nippy and agile, havent taken it above about 4-5k revs yet though as im still easing the engine in. Gear changes are very smooth, quiet during normal driving. Cant really comment on handling/sport qualities yet though!

Few more pictures of it alongside my mates Astra VXR:
