    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Driving is quite good, bit noisy on rough roads and driving at high speeds.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    To say this is only a 1300cc it sure does fly, it only struggles on very steep hills.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nothing major, just general wear and tear.

    This is not what I would call an attractive car but it is an unusual one and very rare. But I like it because it looks like a mini off-roader.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I would say this car is the best I've ever driven. Very smooth and still is now after six years of ownership.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    This is the Demio's down side. Locks are rubbish, easy to get in to, but the built-in immobiliser is a good idea.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Mazda have been excellent.
