Mazda 2 show stopper with the green car capacity to amaze

Covered here last month, the Mazda 2 was one of the show stoppers at the Live!2008 Green Motor Show held in Liverpool on 12th June, so it is worth repeating the deal for those who may have missed the details. So here we go again on a great little car.

The three-door version of the Mazda2 TS 1.3 petrol starts at just £7,999, giving you a lightweight, economical car for low cost.

Low Co2 that's the Mazda 2

Already 2008 World Car of the Year, the new Mazda 2 stable adds a 3-door version to the 5-door. Economy and performance are driven by the use of lightweight high-tensile steels and new technology.


Weighing in at 100kg lighter than the previous model, the all-new Mazda 2 comes as a1.3-litre petrol engine,or a 1.4 diesel,and from July you will be able to buy a 1.5 103 ps petrol powered version. The 3-door and 5-door are the same size,and have a generous spec worth checking out, including front airbags(both sides),remote central locking,multipurpose glovebox,alarm and immobiliser, and so on.

With a high 5-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, the Mazda 2s can deliver a fuel economy of up to 65.7 mpg, and CO2 emissions from 114g/km. This is a quality ,low cost, good ,performing car. You can go for a 'Sport' 3-door from £11,399,or the TS from under £8k-there are models priced in between. Oh,I nearly forgot to mention the road tax (VED) rate at a probable £35 per annum-Band B (101-120g/km). Check it out.
