Just do a search for Mazda3 or Mazda 3 and it will come up. Currently, there's only one person who sells them on eBay, JianJDM, and he lives in Okinawa, Japan. He doesn't post them as often, but when he does they go quickly because he uses the "Buy Now" feature.

Good luck!
 
It's called the Mazda 3 in Holland & Germany. I'm assuming it's the same in the rest of Europe. Btw, the 175 HP version isn't available here either. At least not yet...
 
Axela applies only to Japan, the vehicle is called the Mazda3 everywhere else. Axela was developed from the words accelerate and excellent. It started with the Atenza (Mazda6 for everywhere else).

The 175hp version sold in Japan is just the 2.3l with different tuning, but it requires premium. The 2.3l Mazda3 Australian tuning will also have better performance figures with premium. But the N. American tuning is not like that and premium will not do anything for the 2.3l.
