Keter supermini Mazda2 ni memang layak dapat anugerah Car Of The Year 2008 ni. Dengan ruang dalaman bersaiz lebih kurang macam MyVi dan gak dengan enjin yang cukup berkuasa dan ekonomik, memang padan laa (walaupun tak laa sepower enjin Renesis 1.3 Mazda RX-8 apatah lagi Satria Neo 1.3). Enjin 1.3 kat keter Mazda2 ni memang dah banyak berevolusi drp keter Mazda 323 1.3L. Model Mazda 323 1.3 yang pernah aku try bawak tu memang simple giler, dengan enjin 1.3 yang baru sekuat 67 ekor kuda dan pakai karburetor, paut stereng, paut window dan gak gearbox 5 speed manual, speed maksimum pun baru sekitar 140-150 km/h. Tapi enjin 1.3L pada Mazda2 ni pulak lain, dengan 84bhp dan gak pakai fuel injection, bleh la dikatakan kemajuan besar berbanding zaman 80-an dulu.
