While it might yet miss out on a podium finish in the 2016 sales race, Mazda’s small car volume-seller - the slinky Mazda3 - has signalled that it isn’t done yet, taking top spot in September sales.
VFACTS new car sales figures for September put the Mazda3 in first place, chalking up 3941 sales ahead of its main rival - the Toyota Corolla, second on 3423 sales.
But while it was nudged aside in monthly sales, the small Toyota has overtaken its stablemate in the HiLux to seize the overall lead for 2016 sales year-to-date (YTD).
HiLux was third for September on 3209 sales, giving it an overall year-to-date total of 30,827 units - now behind Corolla on 30,948 and ahead of the next-best Hyundai i30 on 29,678.
