Recommendations for small/super-mini type car

[DrJohnZoidberg]

I think I've already made my choice for the Mazda 2 Dynamic.

Adam is too small.
Brio is meh, can get something better.
VW up is too small.

I'll update this thread next month when I've actually driven it.

Ahh nice. I'm also playing with the idea of getting a new car (not a hatch though) and Mazda seems to have the most "exciting" cars at the moment..

I mean LOOK AT IT!!!!

Thank you sir.

How about a Jazz, voted the most reliable car for a few consecutive years

But surely it falls outside of the mini/super-mini category?

That is the CX-3 not 2

Some similarities but the "higher" ride height & headlight design are a dead giveaway

Edit: Re-reading your post you could be talking about the new Mazda's in general

Errr...that is the CX-3 not 2

That CX-3 is quite the looker

 

[XennoX]

Any of the KONO design Mazdas are lookers. Especially in that red.

 

[Rouxenator]

Sounds like the Corsa is a perfect match. Go give it a try.

Wife is getting hers on Saturday in red, it is damn sexy

Thanks guys! I had the Jazz in mind too, forgot about that one.

Fiesta Ecoboost.

Best engine ever created.

Edit: Forgot this is the vehicle section so just want to add a disclaimer:
In my personal opinion

I know this is off topic (and I'll go create a thread if need be) but what are these Eco Boost engines like? Are they worth the premium? They all seem so small....what about long distance driving? 1000km +

I have a Jazz and so has daughter (36). Nothing ever goes wrong with them. My first Honda was a Ballade in 1984 and the lady I sold it to in 1989 is still driving it. The only failure was the window winding handle

The Fiat 500 is known to be one of the least reliable cars around

I've had the Fiesta Ecoboost for 2 years now and I love it. 92kw and it never lets me down when i need torque. I've driven it from CT to Hermanus, CT to Robertson with passengers,luggage and aircon on with no lack of power issues.

Up! too mini?

Yes, the Jazz is known for it's reliability - it's not all that exciting though but the most practical out of all of them. I had considered it but I still prefer the Mazda.
