I really like this car but the original exhaust is sad at best.

I OWN THE “TRUENO EDITION” HACHIROKU. MY DAILY AND SOON TO BE LIFEY. I LOVE THAT CAR! 🙌🏽 NAMASTE 🙏🏽 FROM BROOKLYN.

Get rid of your head camera it is very dizzying!

I just ordered mine (same colour as in the video- but a 2025 in Canada, so option packages are slightly different than last year). Very much looking forward to making it my daily driver (currently a 2021 Prius Prime, which has been thoroughly reliable for nearly 135000km/84,000 miles and will become the shared car for my son and daughter). Figured it was time to add back some fun into my driving life (previously have had an '83 RX-7, '83 Celica GT, 2000 Miata, still borrow my wife's 2017 GTI). After a 16 year run of two Pathfinders and an Xterra, plus the Prius, I think I deserve something sport-ish. And my fun will be a lot cheaper to fuel with 8 cents a kWh vs 6.50$/gallon (about 1.60$/litre) up here in Quebec.

I have a GR86 and I'm averaging 27.6 MPG. The EPA rating is totally wrong on this car.

I hate cars' jacked-up prices from the Plannedemic.

Crazy, i saw 3 certified pre owned 2024 turbos with less than 5K miles for 28K.....hard depreciation

We just sold out 20123 CX50 Turbo Premium Plus. Why.. The ride is HARSH and the seats are awful on longer than a test ride. Thinking about a CX-30

Bro you lost me when you said you understand why someone would switch over to a Hyundai Elantra but not a Toyota Corolla 💀

Sounds good for a single man, that's retired that just goes to the grocery store LOL or maybe take a road trip to the beach or the mountains. Seems like it has enough horsepower,

Enjoyed the content. I did opt for the EX and really enjoying it. For me it was the sweet spot between price and features I would use/want. Coming off of an 09' EX-L it still feels pretty comparable. Comparing the two is like night and day on ride and handling quality, though. This one is quiet and more commanding of the road. Only con I see is the possibility of the 1.5 not being as robust when it comes to sheer longevity in the long term respective to the 2.4.

Was this the FWD or AWD? The acceleration is very smooth. I'd get one. I'm looking into them. Hence why I'm here! Great video!

Agree with your review. Note, I disconnected the engine sound speaker, and it makes a very noticeable difference on road trips. I'm curious if different tires would also make a difference.

I'm looking at leasing the 2025 Carbon Turbo because it got the 360° camera system & front & rear parking sensors from the Signature trim. I like the Carbon Turbo & Signature the most because I don't like the all black interior in the Turbo Premium. The red stitching doesn't give it enough contrast with all the other black elements in the interior. It looks so montone & boring with the full black interior between the doors, dashboard, seats, & headliner. I like the exterior & interior color contrast in the Carbon Turbo & Signature even though it's more subtle in the Signature trim & way more obvious in the Carbon Turbo

The “hidden” trunk release is, in fact, a smart feature; Mazda designed it that way so that the button is not plainly visible to passersby. Owners know where the button is; others don’t.

so slow

Honest take.

have a 23 GR86. love it. i disabled the fake engine sound day 1 and then got a catback exhaust so i could hear it, lol. The only thing i'd change stylistically would be to give it a liftback rather than a trunk, but that's literally it

Does Mazda3 have a HUD?

This explained it well, thank you but for Pete's sake I've been driving and renting cars for 40 years and need to watch YT to figure out how to change radio stations on a Mazda?

I'll take a 2.0t Accord

Sloooooow

What color is this ? Poymetal gray or machine gray?

I have always been a fan of civic since 1992 😂. But this year I recently bought a brand new 2024 Mazda 3 sport select in red… I’m in love with it. No cvt no hybrid. Bye bye civic. 😢.

I watched your CX-5 and CX-50 reviews back to back and I will test drive both back to back next week, so very helpful. I did test drive a top spec CX-50 already and liked it except at 6’4”, I found the headroom a bit tight even with the seat all the way down. Will be interesting to see how its sibling compares. Great review style and editing. No wasted time reviewing door card surfaces, size of cup holders, tiny details about the grille, etc - just focusing on the most important things, no gimmicks. 👍

no ambient light tho! pass

I daily drive my RF ND2. Twice a week I drive about two and a half hours a day. I have a second set of winter tires with Bilzzak tires which significantly increase the safety and confidence driving in winter, however, the ride is way more harsh than when I am on the Potenza summer sport tires. My car has the Bilstein shocks from the factory and honestly, they are not too bad but the ride can be a bit bumpy as expected for a sports car that is lightweight and amazing when the roads are optimal. I also have a Borla catback aftermarket exhaust which is way deeper in tone but can be pretty mellow while cruising easy on the throttle. Pros: - The car looks amazing to start - Visibility is great - it is quick enough and the steering is of surgical precision. You can change lanes quickly and has all the driver's assisting tech: blindspot monitors, a backup camera with an alarm for incoming unseen vehicles, etc. - I would say that for how small of a car it is, there is a lot of comfort and tech in the cabin which makes it ok for a modern daily driver. - for road trips, I have so far taken the car on 4 h highway trips and it is not that bad if the highway is good quality, it is noisy though. Highway gas mileage cruising at 80 mph can be around 34 mpg. Once you hit twisty country roads it makes up for the highway. - In winter, the cabin heats up pretty quickly given the small size and the heated seats work perfectly. - Very nice Bose sound system - For being a stick gearbox, it is perfect, probably one of the best in the market. Cons: - The sun shields only move up and down which is very impractical, you can get very uncomfortable trying to not get blinded by the sun on your side windows. I guess this could get better if you get your windows tinted. - That being said, if you are planning to have this as your daily drive for commuting on highway and city poor quality roads, this car would not be ideal in the long run given the limited seat positions and adjustment, lack of lumbar support, stick gearbox; even being a perfect stick is not good for heavy traffic. It is doable if you really have the chance to enjoy the car on nice twisty roads or enjoy it with the top down on the weekends, but, I would not have it as a single do-it-all car. - The plastic on the panel in touch with your right knee starts feeling quite uncomfortable while driving the car for a long run, if this area was soft and padded it would be a great touch.

I have the 2016 Mazda 3 sedan .. absolutely no complaints .. drives and runs great with really decent fuel mileage

my wife and i are considering witch one to get. Its a hard desision for me. I like the interior materials of th cx5 but we like the interior demesions of the cx50. And we tested the cx50 and i found it rough on bumps, witch i didnt like, and the seats seem to be a bit to firm

Thank you for this great video! I’m am considering a Mazda3 and haven’t test driven yet. For the safety settings like Lane Departure Warning, if you select it off, will it stay off? Or does it re-enable itself when the car is re-started?

Don't like the door sound. Thought it would be better. 2:35

I do like having the controls in the arm rest area given the screen isn’t as near to use touch regularly or during driving.

Rear tire AND live fish well!! I'm in

Totally agree, the soft top base club trim (without the Brembo, BBS, and Recaro package) at under $35k is the buy. Astute call out. Keep the Miata content coming!

Great content!

an eternity

This should be called the RAV-3 or the RAV-2

When I read comments Im reminded why I shouldn't have.

They took out a row of seats and gained one tenth of a cubic foot in cargo space with seats down. What an engineering feat.

This car is great..which means they will discontinue it, replace it with some electric or hybrid garbage, and push theories ugly SUV line

Why you want GR anyway it doesn't change horsepower or anything probably just a brimbo brake

A very accurate review. I purchased a new RF 6- speed manual in 2018. I’m in love with this car! As the man said . . . it’s absolutely rock solid. A true driver’s car. 😊

Would it still be reliable if someone were to put a bigger turbo than the stock one?

I don't have Options menu, how do I delete without it? I have the same station saved several times from trying to delete it.

Enjoyed your review - well done !

Those are a lot quicker than I thought

Those seats kill me. I believe for taller folks [6ft+] is uncomfortable

The carbon, the premium, and the signature all have heated steering wheels… your wife does not have her facts right

The 360 camera comes on the premium as well

Owned the CX5 and it is just too small. Now I own the EB Mustang. Better car, all the way around. Maybe one day, I can own both. That is a bit of a stretch though.
