@awesomestuff814 For a sub-compact? What are you talking about? Those numbers make the other sub-compacts on the market weep in jealousy.

Road and track got low 9's for 0-60 and 67.4mph in slalom (which is 350Z territory).

@Cruzemssle You bring up a very good point, and I agree. However, I think it needs to be said that this class of car is all about fuel-economy for the consumer. Now I personally would give up 40 mpg to have such a fun car, but bagging on the Americans for making a car exactly for this "cheap" class of automobiles doesn't quite make sense. I almost feel like the Mazda 2 shouldn't be compared to the Fiesta, Yaris, Prius, etc.

C and D clocked it's 0-60mph time at 9.1 seconds. That's not bad. There are a lot of cars on the market that can't go that quickly to 60mph. My wife bought one and it's a blast to drive. What it lacks in straight line power it more than makes up for in it's cornering reflexes. This is first "cheap" car I've ever driven that actually makes me smile.

pretty slow

Mazda's line-up all have far above average slalom times , it's not just the speed its the time thru the slalom thats crucial and they left it out as with the Mazda3 the 2 ripps thru the slalom and is stable while doing it . I have tested it thoroughly and it has not go a serious competitor in the class , in Fact it gives the MINI a serious run for the money at 10$K less !!! don't knock it til you drive it - it screamsand makes mince meat out of the Yaris, Scion , Fiesta , Prius name any one.

That was pretty good -- It smokes the Ford Fiesta , I sincerely wish the Americans would step up and make good cars like the Mazda-2 . I compared this to the Fiesta and the Fiesta has 119 HP vs Mazda's 98 but the Mazda is faster and out handles the Fiesta in EVERY contest, acceleration, stopping , slalom you name it , also the Fiesta is Made in Mexico ...how is that and American car ? the Mazda-2 Made 100% in Japan and its shows in the numbers-drove both--absolutley NO contest Mazda 2 Fiesta-0--
