The Mazda 121, produced between 1990 and 1998, was a compact hatchback that offered a blend of practicality, affordability, and decent fuel efficiency. It was essentially a rebadged version of the Ford Festiva, a collaboration between Ford and Mazda that aimed to provide a small and economical car for the growing urban market. The 121 was available in both three-door and five-door body styles, with the latter being more popular due to its added practicality. Power came from a range of small and fuel-efficient engines, including the 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine found in the first generation, and the 1.1-liter and 1.3-liter engines found in the second generation. The 121 was praised for its simple and functional design, offering good interior space for its compact footprint. While not known for its performance or handling, it was praised for its maneuverability in tight spaces and its affordability, making it a popular choice for young drivers or those looking for an economical city car. The 121's reliability also contributed to its success, as it proved to be durable and relatively trouble-free. However, its small size and simple features contributed to its lack of luxury and safety features, and it was criticized for its lack of power and somewhat dated interior. Despite its limitations, the Mazda 121 proved to be a reliable and popular choice for budget-conscious buyers, especially in urban environments where its compact size and fuel efficiency were highly valued.
