Good and used – 5 cars for novice drivers: The main thing is reliable

Mazda2
It doesn’t always have to be a VW Polo: the Mazda2 (Type DE, 2007 to 2014) is 3.89 meters long and a short small car that cuts a fine figure thanks to its lines. In the front you sit quite comfortably, if the guests are of medium size, there is enough space in the back. The Mazda2 was offered with two and four doors. As is usual for city cars, the focus of the Mazda2 is also on petrol engines. If you prefer a more leisurely driving style, you can get by with the 1.3-liter unit, which is available with 55 kW/75 hp and 62 kW/84 hp. You are already quite fast with the 75 kW/102 hp 1.5 liter petrol engine. The last year of the Type DE achieved a solid rating in the TÜV report among 6 to 7-year-old used vehicles. Its defect rate is below the segment average. You should pay attention to steering and chassis components.
