This is the video that really sold me on the car.
This 2300 lb Mazda 2 really is a fun daily driver. It feels like a go-kart.

3. It costs $15,000 more than my Mazda 2.
I daily drove a lowered car with race springs and exhaust for almost three years so I know what to expect.
I don't plan for this to be a daily driver anyways. As it is now, I only drive it once or twice a week. It will be an emergency second car if the actual daily breaks down and it will be an autox car.
My wife and I are using a Honda Fit as a daily driver. We are trying to save up for a Subaru Outback to tow our JetSki and SeaDoo. We also want the Outback for safer driving in the winter, mountain trips, and long road trips.
