Only eight months after domestic production started, Mazda built the 100,000th Demio confirming the success encountered by the small Mazda in Japan but also in Europe.
The Mazda Demio, known as 2 model in Europe has been delivered to 34,389 units in the first six months on the Japanese market while in Europe 12,591 units found an owner four months after it hit the showrooms.
Well born, the Mazda 2 took the second place in the 2008 European Car of the Year thanks to a bold design but essentially to its focus on weight reduction. The Mazda is around 100 kilograms lighter than the previous model while almost all other competitors grew in size and weight.
