100% Agree. The 2016 Mazda2 has the same proportions problem.

The Mazda 2 is not very attractive in my humble opinion. It has a super long snout that seems out of proportion. The interior is pretty nice though. And I do trust Mazda. Not as much as Toyota however. My 91 Ford Festiva was a Mazda 121(Japan) and assembled in S Korea by Kia. Hell Kia was even selling the Mazda made car under a Kia name. Those Festiva's were tough little shits. Many on the road have 300k miles on them. Hell you still see them on the road today. A lot tougher than the Metro's of the day.
