The Mazda Yaris Clone
I was at Mazda looking at Miatas yesterday. I saw the newest Mazda which looks exactly like a clone of a Yaris. In fact I thought it WAS a Yaris! It has a 1.5 liter engine and the nice thing was the cost was (depending on options)
$13.5K-15.5k + $750 deliveery AND THATS IT! No long list of options that added $$$$ to the price. If this car was availible in 2009 I would have seriously considered it over the Yaris. My Miatas were EXCELLENT quality. |

The Mazd2. 100hp 1.5 liter DOHC 16 valve, 4 cyclinder engine. MSRP comes out to 15,530 (Sport) and 16,985 (Touring) US$ for AT. 14,730 (Sport) and 16,185 (Touring) US$ for MT.
From their website. MSRP doesn't include added $ from dealers. Oohh - MSRP are from my zip code. Yours may turn out differently |

IMO, the Mazda2 looks nothing like the Yaris. The only similarity is that it's a subcompact hatch.
There's already a large thread on the Mazda2. |

This is a turd.
The fiesta, however, is a pretty cool compact. Very nice features on the top-end. |

I'd say the Suzuki Swift is more Yaris-like. (are these sold in US? I don't know)

To each his own, I guess. I've always thought the Hyundai i20 has features similar to the Yaris...

They all copy cat each other in some fashion really. Seeing as how Mazda and Ford have had a long time relationship it is easy to see that this is of the Fiesta...kind of reminds me of the days when the Mercury Capri was another of the Mustang.
