Comments from the seller
Selling as is, this car is well travelled and much loved and is still a joy to drive but I’m needing to upgrade.
Cons:
The interior has a fair bit of wear and tear and the exterior paintwork is not in good condition. She needs a new cooling fan and windscreen, and I’m aware of a few upcoming wear and tear repairs (engine mount, cv shaft, and rear shocks).
ABS light comes on intermittently, but brakes have been checked and are mechanically good, most recent service was on 4/08/2026.
Pros:
BOSE sound system, aftermarket headlight bulbs with extremely good high beam, new clutch, 4 new tyres, new battery, new rear transmission mount, EGR valve cleaned and injectors cleaned - all done in 2025
Drives beautifully, just starting to need a higher level of maintenance than I can commit to

Overview
Mazda's mighty 3 MPS returns with all the fury of its predecessor, driving almost unimaginable torque through to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. 190kW and 380Nm from a turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine are impressive in any car, let alone a small one. The look is confident with a gaping bonnet scoop, 18-inch alloys and an aero kit for the five-door body. Slipping in at an RRP just below $40,000, the regular MPS gets stability control, six airbags, Bluetooth connectivity, SatNav, climate control, sports seats with eight-way power adjust for the driver, keyless entry/start and six-stack CD audio.
