As a former mazda mechanic the 2 was the best car of that era in my opinion. We didn’t have issues with them, not like the 3 platform and the Rx-8.

I test-drove one when they first showed up here, for shits and grins. It was a cheap economy car but it was a fun cheap economy car that felt like a Miata. Definitely a car that the masses missed out on, probably because they insisted on putting a garbage four-speed auto in most of them.

My mom had one with a 6 speed. It was a great car, lack of cruise control aside. My mom, a retired female hippy, was very much the standard soul demographic, but they kept marketing it hard to the hip young crowd.

Yeah I don't know if they came with any of the LOL-recall powertrains but the ones I've driven (2016 & 2017) were really nice little cars. The marketing was totally awful, agreed.

Biturbo, sure.

Murano CrossCab? Hell naw.
Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot in my heart for it, because it is a car that literally should not exist. There is no reason in this dimension it should. I had a Murano. It would not in any material way be improved by having less doors and cargo space and no roof. It is a materially bad car that shouldn't exist. The fact it exists at all is the only reason it should be appreciated at all. Beyond that? Nope, it's a luke warm pile of dog poo.
