Comments from the seller
PERFECT FIRST CAR!
Selling my well-maintained 2012 Mazda 3 Neo Automatic Hatchback. This has been an extremely reliable car, regularly serviced and carefully looked after.
The car drives beautifully and is in excellent mechanical condition. A number of important components have recently been replaced, making it a great option for someone looking for a reliable and affordable vehicle.
Key features and maintenance:
* Automatic transmission
* Complete air conditioning system replaced with a brand-new system $2500 December 2025
* Brand-new brakes fitted recently 24/10/2026
* Professionally tinted windows
* Serviced regularly, last service 24/10/26
* Service history and maintenance receipts available
* Air conditioning replacement receipts available
* Two keys included
* 3 months of registration remaining rego until January 2027
Cosmetic condition and minor issues:
The car presents well for its age, with some minor scratches on the bodywork and cosmetic marks on the alloy wheels, as shown in the photos.
The rear electric windows can be opened and closed normally using the rear passenger switches. However, the driver’s control panel can only open the rear windows, not close them.
These issues do not affect the car’s driving performance.
Reason for selling:
I’m only selling because I’ve purchased a new electric vehicle.
This Mazda has been a fantastic car, and I’ve always made sure it receives the maintenance it needs.
Perfect for a first-time driver, student or anyone looking for a reliable everyday car.

Overview
The Mazda 3 Hatchback and Sedan have been upgraded to Series 2 - meaning minor exterior and interior styling changes, suspension work and overall NVH improvements. It's steady as she goes power train wise. Even the diesel models retain manual transmissions only. The exception is the highly efficient SP20 SKYACTIVE, which matches diesel and hybrid offerings for fuel efficiency with an otherwise normally aspirated petrol engine. Probably the biggest draw cards to the range are the model wide price reductions along with higher standard equipment levels - quite handy in a new series introduction.
