Thank you for the tip, I just checked out carjoy, but it seems not available in Perth as the website says "coming soon". :( I will keep an eye out on that website. :)
Yeah, I'll be also looking for Mazda 3 in manual. :)
I am considering a Mazda 3 for a hatchback... I'll probably be looking around late 2011 or early 2012 for a Mazda 3 after I have saved up $$$ as I'm not keen to go on car loan.
