I don't think it ever dropped to 120k.

135k was when it was new here, the pre-facelift. My family's unit was one of the first batch that arrive at our shores.

I never drove the facelifted version, but the pre-facelift NVH cam haram, worse than my Persona Elegance. Didn't even have a door unlock button, you unlock the door with that flip button near the door latch like a 1st gen Vios. RM135k car wtf.

Maybe facelift improved, I never drove that.

Mazda was never known for NVH.

Cramped interior.

The 2.0NA feels suitably powerful for that car weight 😜.

Decent FC.

Mazdas are generally reliable, except in some cases major parts just suddenly fail out of the blue. In my family's case, the AC compressor died in the 4th year, low mileage car. Not covered by warranty.

CX-3 seems to be way overpriced for its specs/size.

Its a small car. Suggest u test drive or have a sit inside to see if this is ok with u.

CX3 seems a tad too cramped for average sized adults. Your mom may like the smaller form factor though.

One thing to note is that car isn't really new as it's been around 2018 too.

If your mum can be persuaded to accept something like the CX30 or CX5 which are priced thereabouts...

Good luck!
