I had some time today and stopped at my local Mazda dealer to check out the new Mazda 2. Pretty cool little car. I took it for a drive and it was very crisp and responsive even for an automatic. I was hoping they would have a 5 speed there but they didnt. This particular was fully loaded with everything available in the way of options. It was priced at $17125.00. I was told a base 5 speed Sport would start at $13000.00. Steering and suspension was tight and it really did handle amazingly with very little body roll. Not a bad little car with a 1.5L.
