PERFECT FIRST CAR!
Looking for a reliable, fuel-efficient, and easy-to-drive car? Up for sale is my 2012 Mazda 3 SkyActiv. It has just over 150,500 km on the clock and has been an incredibly dependable daily driver.
THIS SMALL CAR STILL PACKS A PUNCH WITH THESE FEATURES:
* Automatic Transmission
* ABS brakes
* Power door mirrors
* Rain sensor wipers
* GPS navigation system
* Remote central locking
* Air conditioning with automatic temperature control
* Front & rear power windows
The SkyActiv engine provides excellent fuel economy while still being fun to drive. It is mechanically sound, runs smoothly, and has never let me down.
THE GREAT STUFF:
* 6 Months Registration: Driving away with half a year of rego sorted means no immediate extra costs for you.
* Brand New Battery: Professionally installed in March 2026.
* Great Service History: Regularly maintained and looked after.
* Reliability: Mechanically excellent, cold A/C, and great tyres.
MINOR THINGS TO NOTE (Priced Accordingly):
I believe in 100% transparency so you know exactly what you are looking at:
* i-stop System: The i-stop (automatic engine start/stop) is currently non-functioning. This is a very common glitch with this era of Mazda and does not affect the car’s driveability, reliability, or fuel efficiency.
* Driver-side Wing Mirror: The plastic outer casing has some damage. The mirror glass and electronics work perfectly fine—it is purely cosmetic.
* Driver-side Sun Visor: Hangs slightly loose but functions exactly as it should.
* Body Condition: A few minor dings and scrapes consistent with its age, but nothing major.
This is a fantastic car for a first buyer, daily commuter, or student looking for stress-free motoring.
Inspections are welcome! Please shoot me a message to arrange a time or ask any questions.

Overview
With the fuel efficiency of a diesel or hybrid it is surprising to learn the SKYACTIV is basically your naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol - albeit with some clever technology applied. Along with direct injection, they've fitted "i-stop" which, under certain urban driving parameters, automatically cuts the engine for fuel savings when sitting at the lights, and then restarts it when you take off. The six-speed auto transmission has also been reconfigured for the task with higher 'lock-up' through the gears when compared to a normal auto. With a claimed combined figure of 6.1L/100km you've just got to sit up and take notice.
