Mazda 2 (Old)

The outgoing 2 climbs into the top 20 due to low running costs and solid, if unexciting, scores for reliability and build quality.

And despite the boxy shape and ageing chassis, you liked its nippy handling. What a pity its ride couldn’t match its agility. The new 2 is a very different proposition, but has a tough act to follow.
