Mazda continues to add the long list of international awards with the Mazda2 taking the third position in the South African Guild of Motoring Journalists Car of the Year awards (SAGMJ COTY).
For a compact hatchback to only be bested by Volvo’s game changing XC90 SUV and the equally impressive Ford Fusion luxury sedan, bears testimony to the Mazda2’s impressive credentials, cementing its reputation as best in class.
With the previous generation Mazda2 already a SAGMJ COTY winner in 2008, and with the all-new model having already taking top honours in the Japan Car of the Year 2014-15 as well as being awarded a Golden Steering Wheel 2014 in Germany, and Good Design’s Gold Award in Japan, the Mazda2 impressed local motoring journalists as well as buyers with its funky design, high specification level, and involving drive.
Judged by a panel of 26 motoring journalists, 12 finalist cars are chosen to compete for Car of the Year and are awarded points and scored on a variety of categories including interior design & practicality, exterior aesthetics, safety & technology, performance, handling & dynamics, efficiency, value for money and overall excellence.
From the SAGMJ, “Beaten by a narrow yet decisive margin, both the Ford Fusion and Mazda2 are for all intents and purposes winners in their own right and respective segments.”
