    I doubt it. None would get me very excited.

    I meant the OP of course.
    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)

    In what way?

    I find it decent fun to drive, economical, carries four adults no problem, can do long mway journeys in comfort.

    Some people may find the ride a little firm.

    I would have thought the Ka was a size smaller. I think it looks horrible.:o

    Yeah it's the ride, going to test drive one at the weekend :)

    I f you do pick the Mazda, theres a good deal where if you do 2 years @ 3.9%, you get a good bit off the price......£1250 if you want the "Sport", so even if youve got cash its worth doing.

    TBH I find the ride to be fine but I am aware that it has been criticised.

    I have tested several cars and always end up buying a POLO. I am on my third in 22 years. It feels solid, is economical to run, is comfortable, has good all-round vision and suits my shape. As I keep them for years, then I am not bothered about the trade-in value.
    You can always get quite a lot of money off the price of a new car, so it's what is suitable for you and your needs.

    Compared to our Ka and it's constantly failing suspension & my 205 gti with it's uprated suspension it'll probably feel like riding on rose petals.

    I loved it :D It is far ahead of the Ka, I'm so glad the Ford dealer via dealdrivers didn't keep the Ka offer open to the weekend :D

    Got the Mazda2 this week, 48mpg :D So much nicer than the battered old Ka, so this is what buying a new car is like!

    It's on the 2 year 3.9% PCP which is a good deal for us.
