Hello

I am just about to sit my driving test so I have been looking at buying my first car (in my late 30s!!). I've got my eye on an approved used 2020 plate Mazda 2 as there are a few near me but they tend to be the SEL spec with 75hp. I have a couple of questions:

* I will be doing regular motorway journeys for work, about 100 miles a day for 3 days of the week. Will the 75hp be comfortable and safe enough?

* The spec - I'm not too fussed about the infotainment system as I'll be using my phone for maps. The spec has rear parking sensors which is on my wish list. Is there anything missing from this spec that would be worth the extra on the higher spec models?

Thanks!

 

Outside the UK "SEL" spec means nothing. What size engine is it?

 

Ah sorry I didn't realise! It's the 1.5 litre petrol.

 

1.5 will be fine. Its no speed demon, but more than capable of highway driving.
