Is the Mazda 2 a Yaris copy? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have a Mazda 2 at work. Base auto 4 speed. Fuel consumption isn't so bad. Almost like my yaris.

I'm a big fan of the Mazda2.

FYI, the Mazda2 shares a chassis with the Ford Fiesta.

The Fiesta...interesting.

auxmike · 07-03-2014, 08:48 PM

I took these pics at the NY int auto show in Manhattan in April... Pearl paint. Has less hp then the Yaris...

auxmike · 07-03-2014, 09:37 PM

Comes in a little under an SE Yaris in price, but you don't get an A/T. Not that it's a bad thing....

All the parts for most cars come from the same factory, including BMW etc. The engine is the only thing that makes each car unique, that is all the car company actually built, otherwise they wouldn't be a car company!

I hope we don't reach a point where people don't recognize acronyms the entire universe uses.

Oh, and literally pick any two cars, there will be things that are the same. That is just how it works.

Everyone is a broad term to use.

Not really, excluding the basics, steering wheel etc.

I think i read somewhere that the next gen yaris is gonna be a toyota/mazda team up and have skyactiv tech :0000

YodaBird · 07-05-2014, 09:07 PM

It's not identical, but there are similarities, if you can't see the similarities then there isn't a difference between apples and oranges either in your view.

Kal-El · 07-05-2014, 10:24 PM

There is nothing alike with the 2 except that they are both sub-compact hatchbacks. They both have a 4-cylinder engine, 4 wheels, seats, steering wheel and usual car parts.

Do we realize we're talking about 3-4 year old cars?

Now with the next gen of these cars, they actually will be the same car under the skin.

Yeah, the people saying the two aren't even close crack me up! Put a Yaris badge on a 2 and nobody would even notice...
