Please help me identify this Mazda:



The picture was made in year 2012 in Europe.

It is hard to find this model in streets now.

Thank you!

I am sorry the image did not show up, it is still loading on my computer. I have uploaded it now to a different server:





One of these links should work, hopefully.

To my eye that looks like a 2007 Mazda3 Sedan.

Yes, it does not look wide enough for a 6th model.

I think that the headlight covers are removed, that is why it does not look like a Wikipedia example of the model.

I don't know what a "6th model" is; what you're looking at is a Gen 1 Mazda3 from (probably) 2007.

The headlight covers are in place.

I caught a whiff, but I cannot say for sure without seeing the IP address and such.

I checked three forums I moderate and there were three registered User IDs from the 178.71.*.* IP address range; the posts of all three were promoting spam of some sort.

The above said, none of the spam filters are flagging the 178.71.131.* range (but 178.71.*.* is a huge red-flag), so I'm guessing we're in the 50% probability range DVS75 is a spammer. If he/she doesn't show up again I'd say "spammer", however, if he/she shows up and pleads their case, I'd say "not spammer".
