2011 | 4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The rear seats are pretty good but the headrests are poorly executed. They either poke the passenger in the back or put their head in an uncomfortable position. see full Mazda Mazda2 review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
It was a two seater, and I enjoy driving with people around. see full Nissan 350Z / 370Z review |
2008 | 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
very cramped, not designed for very long rides. Not for tall people. see full Nissan 350Z / 370Z review |
