Thanks for recommending that I try the Mazda 2 TS2.

After many years of high-mileage commuting, mostly in Audis and Subaru Legacys, the time came for a smaller car. I narrowed the choice down to five and after your positive remarks I tried an ex-demo Mazda2 TS2, and was hooked. It is all you said it would be with oodles of character, great value and all the car I need. Thank you for the excellent advice.

Very pleased you liked it. I reckon its only real failing is that the back seats don't fold properly. But then neither do a Fiesta's, or a Fiat 500's, or a Panda's, or an Up’s, or even the new Peugeot 208’s.
