Overview

The 2013 Mazda 2 Hatchback makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact hatchback segment. With 2 trims on offer, the 2013 Mazda 2 hatchback has a base MSRP of $14,720, competing directly with the Ford Fiesta Hatchback, the Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback, and the Toyota Yaris Hatchback. Only a 1.5L Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission with a 4-speed automatic transmission as an option. Together, they produce 100 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 9.9 seconds, the Mazda 2 hatchback maintains a combined fuel economy of 32 MPG. Mazda offers the 2 Hatchback in 6 stunning colors, with the Jet Black being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2013 Mazda 2 Hatchback is a sporty and capable car in its segment. There are two trims offered and we recommend getting the higher-end Touring trim that gets you some extra features including foglights, a rear roof spoiler, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, cruise control, upgraded cloth seats, and a six-speaker audio system.
