My Mazda 2 review - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kal-El · 11-12-2010, 02:21 PM

Thanks for the review.

But I'm just not a fan of this car. It may have good driving dynamics, but for me, the positives end there. I base this on a direct and fair comparison to the Ford Fiesta (hatch) on which it shares its chassis.

- The Fiesta, IMO, looks far better. Not even close
- The Fiesta has significantly more power and yet gets better mileage with the 6 speed auto
- The Fiesta, IMO, has a better interior (especially better looking)
- The Fiesta has much more options (tech/comfort/convenience)
- The Fiesta matches the 2's driving dynamics
- The Fiesta is simply a better overall value - more car for the price

Seems like sales are very slow so far. I've seen them on sale on dealer lots for about 4-5 months, yet I have yet to see one on the road. I've seen dozens of Fiestas though.
