MAZDA’S CHRISTMAS TREAT FROM £8,995

For a limited time only, the Mazda2 is available from local dealership Shires Mazda from just £8,995 (OTR) including customer savings, making it the ideal choice for Taunton customers in need of a stylish, practical hatchback this winter.

The Mazda2 line-up features both three-door and five-door hatchback styles, and customers have a choice of three petrol and one diesel engine, manual and automatic transmissions and four generous equipment levels (TS Air Con, TS², Tamura and Sport) – and visitors to the Deanegate Avenue-based dealership can take the car for a test drive.

Drivers looking for a particularly special car this Christmas can buy the limited edition ‘Mazda2 Black’, an 84ps, 1.3-litre 5-door model, which brings a darker, edgy attitude to Mazda’s small car and is available in a choice of three striking colours – Spirited Green, Crystal White and True Red.

The Mazda2 Black also features a black wrapped roof, 16-inch matt black alloy wheels and other visual changes above the standard Mazda2, as well as climate-control air-conditioning to keep drivers and passengers warm during what is expected to be another cold winter.  With prices starting from just £12,395 (OTR), just 618 examples of the Mazda2 Black will be made.

“The Mazda2 Black makes our most popular car even more appealing, combining the fun-loving qualities of a stylish small car with the safety that consumers need on the road all year round,” commented Don Ricciardi, Dealer Principal, Shires Mazda.  “Generous equipment levels mean the car will outshine even the most spectacular present at Christmas this year, but with Mazda’s reputation for reliability, it’s a present that will continue giving pleasure for years to come.”

Prices for the Mazda2 range start from only £8,995 (OTR) for the Mazda2 TS Air Con, whilst TS² models begin at £10,780 with Sport models from £12,595 (including current customer savings).  Every Mazda2 comes with dual front airbags, air-conditioning, electric front windows, CD radio with auxiliary jack and a Thatcham Category 1 alarm to keep the car as safe and secure as possible.
