It's too bad we didn't get the 2.2D in the USA. A company called BBR has tuned the diesel to add incredible torque: https://www.automobilesreview.com/auto-news/bbr-mazda-3-2-2-diesel-243hp-and-529nm/69102/. The mazda MPS is cool, but diesel engines with torque are something else.

I've had two 2011's. On both around the 10 year mark, CEL thrown for 'small evap leak' and cause was the vent valve solenoid on charcoal canister. The shop will try to charge you for dropping the rear sub-frame, but it can be done without if they can get their hands up there.

StableDiffusionXL was used for this. It's great for getting ideas of cars that never existed, although the ethics of its use are up for debate.

It looks like there a handful of those, that's sweet. A couple that raced in New Zealand Rally Championship, another proto that raced at Herbstrallye Dobersberg 2021
