    I mean that the Mazda 3 sign is not seen in Trinidad and Tobago. It is simply known as the Axela here.

    Just curious, what's the reputation of the Axela there? For example here, the Corolla has a certain reputation or target market.

    I will ask someone. I see a lot of Gen Juans around. A fair number of Protégés, too. They are called Familias here. A lot of lowered, modded Mazdas here. Have not seen any Gen 3s, but I am only in Tobago this trip and not Trinidad.

    A lot modded cars there are not what I would call tastefully modded. Yes, I've been to TT
    2010 Mazda 3 GS (daily driver)
    2008 Mercedes-Benz C230 4MATIC Sport + Premium Package (wife's car)
    1991 Honda Civic Hatchback DX (parted and wrecked)

    So the bada$$ rep of the Mazda Axela in TT is a grocery getter for ladies. Ok then. Car looks great btw!

    Ehh, what part of T&T are you from? Glad to see some fellow Trini TM3'ers.

    I became Trinidadian via my wife. She is from La Brea and then grew up in St . James. We are currently in Black Rock, Tobago.

    Nice! Haven't been to Tobago in a few years. Would love to go again next time I'm in Trinidad.
