The nimble Mazda2 enjoys a nice success in our market. Although it’s only available as a 5-door, two trim levels are offered: GX and GS. The 1.5 litre, 100 hp 4-cylinder that equips both Mazda2 variants is teamed with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. While an extensive colour palette is available to spruce up the exterior (including “Spirited Green”), the interior is only available in black cloth with red accents in the fabric.
