2000 Mazda Demio exclusive review from Croatia
"Perfect car for small urban family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
Due to main experience with my previous car, I paid close attention to reliability when I was buying this car. And the Demio (or any Mazda) really is reliable. In three years we only put gas in it and drove it.
It is also quite roomy and has decent storage space for a small car.
The motor is one of the strong points of this car. It has enough power, but isn't a big 'consumer'. Changing gears is not that good, it's a little bit slow.
It is also very well equipped, air conditioning, 2x electric windows, central locking, fog lights for a reasonable price.
Perfect car for small urban family (roomy, reliable and easy to park)
