Mazda Demio DY 1.3 i (91 Hp)
Mazda Demio:
The Mazda Demio is a small car manufactured by Mazda from 1996 to 2019. While sold across four generations in the domestic Japanese market, the Demio nameplate was rarely used outside of Japan, where it was usually called the Mazda2. The Demio nameplate was retired in 2019 as Mazda changed over to "Mazda2" for their home market as well. It has been described as a supermini or a subcompact car, and is a part of the B-segment of the European car market.
The Demio is built on the Mazda D platform and was preceded by two other small cars based on the platform: the Ford Festiva that was introduced in 1986 and the Revue introduced in 1990. The name "Demio" is derived from Latin meus to show possession, which in many Romance languages has become "mio. "....(Read more on Wikipedia)
