Mazda 2 GT 2017 review Nov 9th 2017, 10:34 Range-topping version of Mazda's recently updated supermini packs 113bhp. The 2 GT is certainly swift but bland to drive This is the ultimate version of the recently updated Mazda 2, equipped with a 113bhp version of the 1.5-litre petrol engine and a six-speed gearbox exclusive to this model.That's not a vast amount of power for a car carrying both GT and Sport badges, but on the other hand, the 2 is light, weighing a lean 1045kg in this guise. GT Sport identifiers include LED headlights and running lights, 16in alloy wheels, a black tailgate spoiler and, inside, brown leather inserts to the dashboard and doorcards, although the highlight, almost literally, is a head-up display.The updates to the 2 itself include more soundproofing, reworked dampers and anti-roll bar bushes, lower suspension arms aimed at improving the ride and recalibrated electric power steering to heighten feel. The steering is also said to be improved by Mazda's G-Vectoring Control system, which finely modulates the engine's torque output in corners to eliminate torque effects. There are new interior fabrics and a new steering wheel design, too. | |
