The Mazda 2, a subcompact car introduced by Mazda in 2002 and known as the Mazda Demio in Japan, has seen three generations of development. The first generation (DY; 2002-2007) was noted for its small design, which was convenient due to having both petrol engines ranging from 1.25L to 1.6L and a diesel option of 1.4L with either five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions. This laid the foundation for the Mazda 2's reputation as a reliable and fun-to-drive car. The second generation (DE/DH; 2007-2014) furthered this by coming up with lighter and smaller designs featuring gasoline engines of either 1.3L or 1.5L as well as diesel alternatives of either 1.4L or 1.6L alongside manual, automatic, and CVT transmissions. Among these features were driving dynamics, which are better than ever before, and increased efficiency. This latest generation (DJ/DL; 2014-present) showcases Mazda's KODO design language and SkyActiv technology, thereby enhancing performance, fuel economy, and safety parameters. The Mazda 2's interior is refined with advanced safety features, while it also houses efficient engines, among them the hybrid-petrol variant found in Europe. Throughout its evolution, the Mazda 2 has remained true to Mazda's commitment to quality, design, and the joy of driving while still meeting drivers' needs worldwide, thus remaining competitive within the subcompact car market.
The Mazda 2 has had some of the most common problems with different model years, such as steering rack failure in the 2012 model, premature rotor wear in the 2010 model, and engine light activation with engine shaking in the 2016 model. The steering rack failure can show up at around 50k miles and is characterized by weird noises made when turning the wheel slowly, along with a sensation of popping or shifting. The cause of this issue is believed to be design or manufacturing flaws that lead to repeated failures even after replacements, which would then suggest that a more comprehensive solution should be put in place. Premature rotor wear shows up as early as 8k miles, which points towards material or design defects that require an early rotor replacement to maintain efficiency while braking. This puts unexpected repair costs on the Mazda 2's owners. Engine light and shaking issues happen at around 25,500 miles, and it's a mix of different possible faults, from minor sensor issues to big mechanical failures. Diagnostic work must be done to find out what exactly caused them so you can replace the correct parts.
