Mazda 3 Sedan - Generation 1.2 (2007-2012)

MAZDA 3 SEDAN (2007-2012)

For 2007, the 3 was treated to a new face and the fuel system was revised. Do remember that the hatchback (featured separately) is positioned between the 1.6 V and 2.0 R. No changes occurred for this version so keep an eye on the condition. This would be replaced by an imported Mazda 3 in 2012.
