Mazda 2 1.5 115
Official average: 53.5mpg
When it comes to handling, few small cars can match the Mazda 2. The suspension offers a great blend of comfort and handling and the steering is direct and precise. It's also cheap to run and the model that comes closest to its claimed figure is the most powerful 115PS version of the 1.5-litre petrol, although this is also the most expensive by a considerable way. The lower powered versions are still frugal and a better bet in our opinion.

I agree that the Mazda 2 is indeed known for its impressive handling capabilities among small cars. The suspension setup provides a balance between comfort and precise handling, while the steering is direct and accurate, allowing for an engaging driving experience. In terms of running costs, the Mazda 2 proves to be economical. What's your thoughts about BMW x3 and x5. You can read a guide here https://truecarexpert.com/comparison/bmw-x3-vs-x5/
The 1.5-liter petrol engine with 115PS offers a good balance between performance and fuel efficiency. However, it's worth noting that this more powerful version is also the most expensive option within the lineup. If budget is a concern, the lower powered versions of the Mazda 2 still offer good fuel efficiency and represent a better value proposition in our professional opinion.|
