count the sporty MX-5 roadster, the rest of the line-up tends to be thought of as practical rather than passionate. Yet since the arrival of the MazdaG, that has been changing. This car set Mazda on its new
“zoom-zoom” path, and its replacement aims to continue that momentum. Where the old MazdaG was becoming a little forgettable, this is a car that will catch the eye. It is unashamedly sporty, not only in its looks but in terms of performance. The Practicalities Take a seat behind the wheel

wider body that offers occupants greater shoulder room. Thanks to the longer wheelbase, knee room for the rear passengers is also increased - by 13mm. A comfortable driving position is easily found in the supportive seats. The same could be said for the
exterior. A key design criteria on the second-generation MazdaG was that “it should still look fresh in 10 years time”. That might be stretching things a bit but the stylists have certainly created a good-looking and slip pery shape. Behind the Wheel
The MazdaG continues to
offer a polished driving experi ence, but criticisms levelled at the old model for its fidgety ride are less valid in the current car.
The suspension is supple and you are less conscious of imper fections in the road surface, although the ride remains firmer than most in the sector. The cabin is a more serene
place with beefed-up sound insu lation and upgraded body rigidi ty cutting back on vibrations. That extra rigidity also helps the handling. The 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrol
engines have been carried over with small changes that have led to 10% Improvements in fuel economy and emissions. The MOPS MZR-CD 2.0
turbo- diesel th a t manywill choose is also broadly unchanged. Slightly disappointingly, the
only thing actually new in this respect is the engine that fewest customers wll buy - the flagship 170PS 2.5-litre petrol unitl Even this is merely an evolutionary

development of the old 2.3-litre power plant. Mazda identified several key
requirements in the MazdaG, one of which was to exceed the quietness and refinement of the best Japanese mid-sized vehi cles. In that respect, it is hard to give an unqualified thumbs-up based on the diesel version I tried, since this is one of those engines you can definitely hear at speed. If you really do not like

basics appeal. This time round,
the 500 is unasham edly chic, offering an upmarket look and feel that will doubt less carve a sizeable chunk into MINI’S bottom line. Fully half a centu
ry after the launch of the original Fiat 500, it is back. Fiat has latterly
built a reputation for having a wide range of excellent power plants, especially at the smaller end of the product portfolio. Indeed, the 75 b.h.p. 1.3-litre 16v Multijet diesel engine fitted to the 500 is so good that it rather over shadows the other wise excellent pair of petrol power plants. These comprise an
entry-level 69 b.h.p. 1.2 8v and a punchy 100 b.h.p. 1.4-litre IGv. Five or six speed manual transmis sions are offered and the 500 has been designed to replicate the original car’s nimble feel and abili ty to put a smile on its driver’s face. ' In the pipeline is a
155 b.h.p. 1.4-litre turbo-charged Abarth model, fully tooled up with beefi er steering, retuned suspension and a few aerodjmamic tweaks. The 500 is signifi
cant in more than the obvious ways. At 1.65m wide, 1.49m high and 3.55m long, the 500 does not take up a great deal of space. For reference, a MINI is 1.91m wide, 1.40m high and 3.68m long: in other words much wider, a little lower and a fair bit longer. Delicious design details drip from the 500. It is like a tiny nearl, especially
Q/hen the ivory finish Riterior is specified. There is a very well- judged blend of retro chic and ruthlessly modern contempo rary design inside, with circular head restraints, a glass roof and iconic 500 badging on the dash board.

'se about the Fiat jo sticks to its pre decessor’s back-to-
500, are just some of the interior design features. The exteri or treatment is cool and clean. Prices are surpris
ingly reasonable given the hype sur rounding the 500. Starting at under £8,000, the car is only fractionally more expensive than the Panda city car on which it is based. Fiat is sticking to what it knows, ivith affordability remain ing a key weapon in

Unashamedly chic A
the 500’s armoury. This is a far more
faithful interpreta tion of a classic motoring icon than the Bavarians have been able to achieve. And, if you do not care about badge equity or mind about the fact that you only get three doors and get the right deal, the Fiat will make plenty of sense. Fiat’s Panda is
one of the cheapest cars to own, so the 500 will prove little different. The Multi jet diesel version will average over 65 m.p.g., with the 1.2-
litre petrol unit not far behind on around 50 m.p.g.p Deprecia tion will not be any thing like at MINI levels, but will be much better than you would expect on a Panda. Which is good news since insurance costs should not be much more expensive. There is such a
cheekiness and per sonality to its design that the 500 seemed destined to succeed from the outset. The fact is that it
is actually rather good thanks to its Panda platform share.
If you are looking
for cheeky, cheap and practical, a Panda is still a slightly better car.
If a style state
ment is more your thing, the 500 gets the vote every time.
