Hi all
I'm desperately seeking some independent and switched-on advice on which Mazda2 I should buy as stated in the title. My local Mazda dealership aren't being particularly forthcoming with helpful info.
I do 8 hours motorway driving per week and I have minor back issues which mean I can't consider a car with very hard suspension.
From trawling through numerous M2 reviews it appears that the pre19-facelift model is good but there's a lot of engine and tyre noise at high speed and the suspension isn't the best.
The post19-facelift model in the brochure (unlike the pre-model) appears to be marketed primarily as an 'Urban City car' although apparently there have been improvements in the suspension and the soundproofing.
Could you tell me:
1) Are either or both pre- and post-models suitable for regular, albeit limited, motorway driving?
2) Given the choice in my situation, would you opt for a cheaper 2018 Mazda2, a 2020 Mazda2, or my other option of a 2018 MINI Hatch Cooper?
I'd so appreciate some sagely opinions because as I say my dealership just wants to sell me a car irrespective of whether it's right for me
