    They aren't nice cars, comfortable enough and quiet but that's it.

    A fiesta or swift are much better options.

    Actually a brand new 3 door swift is currently 13k, 5 door is 14k. Would be worth pricing one with a dealer.

    Current Mazda 2 is being replaced with a new model soon enough so there might be some deals to be got on the existing model:

    I'd say mainly due to the dealer network being so small these days.

    Almost non existent dealer network & marketing, limited supply and odd model line up.
