Mazda's D-segment sedan replaced the 626 in 2003 and sold here until late 2016, when it quietly dropped off the local price list. Only about ten units were registered in its final year as the big-sedan market collapsed. Used buyers get a lot of well-engineered car for the money, with the 2.5 petrol the pick.
