‘WORLD’S BEST CAR’ ON SALE AT twwhiteandsons

twwhiteandsons is expecting a rush of potential customers looking to buy a Mazda2 supermini this week after the all-new five-door hatchback was voted ‘2008 World Car of the Year’ (WCOTY) by an international jury of 47 automotive writers. 

The new Mazda2 was hailed as the ‘World’s Best Car’ at the recent New York International Auto Show when the title-winning Mazda was selected from a list of 39 contenders from across the globe and beat the short-listed Ford Mondeo and Mercedes C-Class to claim the highly-acclaimed WCOTY crown.  Previous winners of this coveted award include the Lexus LS460, BMW 3-Series and Audi A6.

“I’m not surprised that the Mazda2 was voted 2008 World Car of the Year,” enthused Gordon Parker Mazda Franchise Manager, twwhiteandsons.  “The new Mazda2 appeals to supermini buyers thanks to its distinctive styling, spacious cabin and excellent driving dynamics.  Add in low running costs and low CO2 emissions, acknowledged by receiving the highest WCOTY 'environment' score, and Mazda2 starts to tick all the boxes for small car buyers.

“This highly-acclaimed accolade confirms that Mazda2 is indeed one of the very best cars available in the supermini market.” 

The all-new Mazda2 went on sale in the UK last September and has already attracted more than 6,000 buyers.  Five versions of the five-door hatchback are available with a choice of three petrol and one diesel engine plus three equipment levels – priced from just £8,499 on-the-road for the 1.3-litre, 75ps petrol TS model. 

Through innovation and ingenious weight reduction, the new Mazda2 represents a bold break with automotive trends, reversing the spiral of ever increasing weight and size.  The Mazda2 now weighs 100kg less than its predecessor and is 40mm shorter.  Keeping the car’s weight below 1,000kg cuts fuel consumption, allowing the Mazda2 to achieve an impressive 65.7mpg. It also gives this Mazda a CO2 emissions rating starting at just 114g/km, equating to an annual road tax rate of just £35 and complete exemption from London Congestion charging when the proposed changes are introduced later this year.
