Road Test: 2.0-litre CRDI / Full Car-by-Car Breakdown

A small and tall car that provides comfortable, easily accessed upright seats and excellent luggage capacity.
Wide opening doors, a sliding and folding rear seat that gives excellent rear legroom or huge boot space.
Prepare yourself for a rave review. This is an astonishingly good car.
Often cars don’t drive as well as they look, yet that isn’t the case with the Mazda2.
It’s the whole package: a car that’s going to do everything you want, never let you down, and not cost a lot to run.
Toyota has extracted the drivetrain from its Prius to bring us this hybrid version of the Auris.
Unlike the previous version, the new C-MAX is two cars in one: a 5-seater and a 7-seater.
New Congestion Charge exempt (and annual tax exempt) ‘Blue’ version emits just 99 g/kg CO2.
The huge advantage is access. As I demonstrate in the video you can literally walk straight into the car.
