Mazda Carol

The Carol is a Mazda kei car with two lives. The first, from 1962 to 1970, was a four seat rear engined sedan with a tiny four cylinder engine, the first Mazda to carry four passengers and a success that took two thirds of the kei market in its first year. The name came back in 1989 with the Autozam brand, and since then the Carol has been built by Suzuki for Mazda on the platform of the Suzuki Alto, with unique bodywork at first and, since 1998, only as a badging exercise on the Alto.
