Thanks to Steven and Anika I was able to take out the new Mazda 2 for a couple of days. I did a bit of driving around the city as well as out of town to Punta Fuego. To put things into perspective, I’ve always been a sedan guy (I own the new 2010 Honda City A MT) so this is the first time I’ve been behind the wheel of a compact sports sedan. Note that I’m not part of the motoring media and do not review cars often so what I write really comes from first-hand buzz from friends and my own thoughts about “things” that are supposed to take you from point A to B.
Read on for the hands on.
