The One Of A Kind Mazda 2

The Demio (also sold as the Mazda 121, Mazda Metro, Mazda2 and Ford Festiva Mini Wagon) was originally a small minivan or tall station wagon which debuted in 1996. The third generation Demio introduced in 2007 was a significant departure from earlier models in terms of style, giving it a much sportier appearance and earning it the 2008 World Car of the Year title.

As of 2005, 892,000 Demios had been sold worldwide since introduction.
