My experience with car warranties: Buy it and you won't need it, don't buy it and you will need it.
Depends on the car really. I'm not really familiar with the Mazda2 so can't really comment on that. I know it's built on the Ford B3 platform which has a solid reputation but no idea if that translates to the Mazda.
What does the warranty actually cover? Some dealers and car lots offer BS 3rd party warranties that don't cover key things, like major engine or drivetrain components. Others will cover regular stuff like the original factory warranty. If the car is from a reputable dealer you should be alright, but ask outright what it doesn't cover to get a clear picture. Whether or not it's an extended factory warranty or a 3rd party warranty is key too. Some 3rd party ones are OK, but most aren't.
If it is a proper warranty, I'd say go for it. Better to have and not need than to need and not have.
