Buying Tips for the 2018 Mazda CX-3 (DK)

  • Verify genuine post-August 2018 facelift specification via the electronic parking brake switch, front armrest and '+' trim suffix

  • Inspect Soul Red Crystal paintwork along the bonnet and bumper for deep stone chips and check diamond-cut 18-inch alloys for white-worm
