YOU’LL be A-Maz’d – but not if you have ever driven one.
The Mazda2 has left the competition in the pit lane – by being crowned the WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR 2008.
The Mazda2’s fantastic performance put it on the victory lap at the expense of 38 rival motors – and was also lapped up by the judging panel of 47 acclaimed international motor journos.
This outstanding all-rounder beat off stiff competition from the short-listed Ford Mondeo and Mercedes C-Class.
It’s great on the eye, provides terrific performance and delivers economic excellence, meaning – while it might burn of the competition - it won’t burn big hole in your bank balance.
And, with the grass looking ever greener for the car industry, topping the environmental scorecard means it’s an eco-warrior as well.
Previous winners of this coveted award include the Lexus LS460, BMW 3-Series and Audi A6.
The stylish Mazda2 was also one of the three finalists for 2008 World Design of the Year, alongside Volvo C30 and Audi R8.
