Five-Point Inspection: 2014 Mazda2

5. A Competitive Price Isn’t Enough

With a starting price of $15,515 after destination charges for the Sport model, the Mazda2 is priced competitively with the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note and Toyota Yaris. The problem is all three of those cars were heavily updated over the past two years.

The Mazda2 remains a no-frills subcompact car that isn’t quick, but still has a fun to drive charm. The time has come though for it to be replaced and I look forward to see what the 2015 Mazda2 has to offer.
