MAZDA 2 / DEMIOTiming chain or Belt?

The Mazda 2 is a compact utility car (B-segment in Europe) manufactured by the Japanese marque Mazda. It was previously marketed under the name Mazda Demio. The first generation of the Mazda 2 was called Mazda 121 or Mazda Metro. On the other hand, in its early days, Mazda had agreements with Ford, so the first generation Mazda 2, based on the Mazda-D Platform, was shared with the Ford Festiva. This vehicle was designed and assembled by the Japanese brand, but was sold in the United States under a rebadged name.

The Mazda 2 has a varied range of competitors. The most important are the Peugeot 208, the Renault Clio, the Opel Corsa, the Skoda Fabia, the Citroen C3, the Toyota Yaris, and the Ford Fiesta among many others. There have been a total of four generations of this utility vehicle.
