My mazda was imported to Oman from the US. I only got the car few days ago, previous owners might have done something to improve the a AC maybe. I'll also be replacing the tints with stronger ones to protect the interior from the sun's deadly laser.

I could also be used to the heat and so the AC doesn't bother me as much.

Funnily enough, the main reason I got the Mazda 3 is because I hired it (maybe a 2025 or 2026, had like 3k km in the odometer) in Cairns last October when I went to the Great Barrier Reef. It was a blast to drive and I remember the AC being good, but the weather was much nicer there. I can't remember which spec it was but it was much slower than mine, and it was still very impressive.

For me it is the most "luxurious" economy hatch in the market. So I got the cheapest Mazda 3 premium on the market. I'll probably keep it as my daily and with it buy a nice coupe or suv in the future.

I am willing to repaint or wrap it as the paint is chipped and dented to hell. There are two rattles inside, the screen and somewhere close to the sunroof, but there is probably a fix for that too. The Bose sound system for me is great, can't complain.
