Let’s get one thing out of the way first: the Mazda3 edition100 isn’t the same as the Mazda3 100th Anniversary Edition model. The latter is made to celebrate Mazda’s centennial, while the former is a special edition made to commemorate the Mazda3’s win as the World Car Design of the Year. Oh, and another thing: while it’s unsure whether the Philippines will get its hands on the 100th Anniversary Edition models, it’s sure that 50 of these non-serialized edition100 will be made available at Mazda dealerships nationwide. Makes sense? Good.
