Mazda Demio (1998 - 2002)

Neat and versatile small boxy estate, with sliding, folding and reclining rear seats that can be turned into a bed. 12' 6" by 5' 6" and weighing 950kg.

72 bhp 1,324 cc engine. 3-year warranty.

A bit more substantial than the Move/Wagon R/ATOZ/Matiz brigade, initially with mini front bull bar.

Five carbon dioxide absorbing trees were planted for every car sold to achieve first year "carbon neutrality".

Facelift launched at Y2K Geneva Motor Show with much improved handling, from a reasonable £9,000 in UK (a £1,500 price cut) and option of 1.5 litre 75 bhp automatic.
