Who wants a small, practical, cheap, gas efficient\u00a0car?<\/p>\n

Everyone, right?<\/p>\n

If that’s really true we will point you towards the new Mazda 2 that should be available in the USA in just a short amount of time. We think it’s a great-looking car that will be fun to drive and easy on the gas budget.<\/p>\n

The problem with the Mazda 2, though, is that people\u00a0seem to love sedans in the USA. Why? I’m not sure. The practicality of a hatchback seem to far outweigh any benefit (Maybe looks? Maybe?) of the sedan. Hatches have more storage room, more headroom, more trunk space, and get the same exact gas mileage usually. Nonetheless, we have proven again and again that we prefer sedans in America, so what do you do?<\/p>\n

The answer is simple: Buy a Scion.<\/p>\n

Buy a Scion? Really? Why would a Mazda performance parts company tell me to buy a Scion!?<\/p>\n

Easy: The new Scion iA is actually just a Mazda 2 that is a sedan version and re-badged as a Scion.\u00a0According to jalopnik.com<\/a>, “This iA is actually more Mazda than Toyota, based on Mazda\u2019s SkyActiv platform and sharing a lot of its guts with the new Mazda 2.”<\/p>\n

It sure looks like a small Mazda 3, and the fact that it will be badged Scion is a good thing! Not only does this mean that you can essentially buy a Mazda 2 Sedan that Mazda won’t be offering in the US officially, but it has two other aspects that we really like.<\/p>\n
