Ugh...it still has drums in the rear? :/ I know it's not a huge deal...I just think it would feel a little more modern if it had discs all the way around.
The rear bumper is interesting, looks like enough crash material to meet the US specs. I wonder if Mazda decided to make them all the same instead of the North American cars all getting the bigger bumpers.

2 things the US spec won't see:
Diesel engine
Projector headlights
(guessing of coarse)
Looks nice though.
Looks like I could still fit my head in the wheel well.
Thanks for the comments so far...All good points!
Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to test drive because there were already a bunch of people at the dealer waiting to test drive the new 2 and I had to run...The new 2 does feel noticeably more sophisticated than the previous model...Especially with regards to the interior. Mazda is making bold moves to upgrade its image and I think they are doing a great job so far...Now let's see some serious Mazdaspeed models!!! [emoji106][emoji106]
^I scrolled by that a couple times before realizing it was a gif. Well done.
If they bring the diesel out, it may be time to trade Jellybean in.
I still don't understand Mazda's obsession with putting the smallest rollers possible on every base model car. Those wheels look really bad, and it's a gut-punch to the form of the car. Great looking car otherwise, and that tan/dark charcoal interior looks the hotness.
Oh, and unlike the 3, it looks like you can see really well out of the new 2. I drove a new 3 for a week recently. Holy crap you can't see sh*t out of that car!
