Mazda is dead in South Africa it seems... whats going on? They don't have the new Mazda 6 or the new Mazda 3 and my local Ford has no Mazda's on their lot.
Sure they've split but what has become of Mazda? I'm in a small town so I don't know what's happening in the cities but here there are no Mazda dealerships and because of the split Ford doesn't hold them on the lot anymore... is this also the case in the bigger cities?Ford and Mazda have split.
I like the nose - rear three quarters is almost Alfa Mito..
New Mazda 2 Sedan announced in Thailand; the migration from hatch to boot was successful.

If you double-click on this map a few times to zoom in a couple of stages, you'll start to see the locations of Mazda dealers pop up around the country ... not that many, but that's to be expected: http://www.mazda.co.za/find-a-dealer/Sure they've split but what has become of Mazda?

It's not that insane relatively speaking bud; its said to be a very clever & efficient vehicle with a good amount of tech at even base level.
I recon the R200k model is the best value; it even incl the smart 7" infotainment screen as standard.
B-segment car so its biggest rivals are Polo/Fiesta/Corsa/i20/Rio/Clio/208/Yaris etc.
Not sure why you mention the Auris; that's "Golf-class"
I just bought one for my wifeShe had the old model and wanted the new one. She drove a Fiesta, Rio and the Mazda. Chose the Mazda.
The interior did it for me, really modern, especially the dash
