My daughter and her partner have a Mazda 2. It doesn't seem to let them down. And is a party on down dude sort of car. So ticks the main boxes.
Have driven for some miles watching the sun coming up, after a gig listening to this. It is pure madness.
CD player still gets used in my car...in fact I've still got a bagful of cassettes I'm going to feed into the Aux socket when I can find where I put the Walkman.
I know I joke about it, but the Maz 2 suited me well for the near 3 years that I had it. Nice and nippy, and good for parking.
I genuinely love it! It’s really reliable and it’s easy to get parts and fix the few things that have needed doing.
Radio X is on the school run in the morning, listening to Chris Moyles. My daughter also likes it, so I don't have the fight with her to listen to whatever rubbish she wants to put on. That has been the Descendants soundtracks mostly at the moment, but I now know a lot more Miley Cirus songs than I used to Most of the rest of the time, I listen to Podcasts. Maybe a topic for another thread though?
Can't find one the same, Mazda don't make / stock them any more, all the instrument cluster fixers I've tried "don't do Mazda's".
