well
i would suggest u use lancer to learn
i dunno abt mazda 2, but lancer u can see the whole front
boot.
U learn to control this type of car well, basically all other
car u can handle immediately with cofidence when u pass n buy
car.
If u so use to those short front-boot car, when u pass, u better
buy the same type, else, if u buy long boot, u might feel the
feeling is different and u may not feel confidence driving it.
jus my own view.
i think some of u might feel the same way also
i started my lesson today using Mazda 2 :) Good instructor,
fatherly and patient :)
