2018 Mazda 2 GT Review

Great proportions make the sedan look bigger than it is.
Make no mistake, it is a city car through and through. Up front, the Kodo Design language sees a shield grille, and flowing lines in the headlight arrays.
A 2,560mm wheelbase, and 16” wheels sit well with an overall length of 4,060mm (hatch). Bottom grades get 15” wheels.
