Mazda 2/Demio engines
Good day Mazda Forum!
I am currently looking to buy a 4th Generation Mazda 2/Demio and I have narrowed down my choice to 2 vehicles.
A 2015 with 10000 kilometers with a 1.3 SkyActiv
and
A 2016 with 15000 kilometers with a 1.5 SkyActiv
Now, the first one may seem the clear winner but I am slightly worried that that engine was introduced in 2011 (I think) and the 1.5 was introduced in 2014-2015. I do not want to write it off as "newer is better" but it is a reservation. The 2015 also has non-factory rims because the owner didnt want to keep the plastic-covered ones that were stock.
Any thoughts about the engine?

I don't have the 1.3 in my market, the 1.5 is a perfect little car.
Having experienced the 1.3 in the previous generation DE Mazda 2, it felt underpowered.
Have you had a good road test in both vehicles? How does the 1.3 compare to the 1.5 to you?
