- The 2023 Toyota Corolla vs 2023 Mazda 3!! There's A Clear Winner...
For decades now, the Toyota Corolla has been a worldwide bestseller in its class with more than 50 million sold since the late 60s. However, more recently, the Mazda 3 has been earning its place amongst the best hatchbacks. Which leaves us with a question, Which is better? The 2023 Toyota Corolla or the 2023 Mazda 3? Watch this video until the end to find out…
Car buyers like to buy smaller cars because of their compact size and good fuel economy. Other features are essential, like the interior room, infotainment system, and ride comfort, however the fuel efficiency is usually at the top of the list. Also, the 2023 Toyota Corolla as well as the 2023 Mazda 3 are two well-known compact cars you can buy from new for less than $25,000.
When talking about the performance, the basic new 2023 Toyota Corolla model will have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes around 169 horsepower. And now for even greater performance, Toyota has offered the first-ever GR Corolla "hot hatch." And this new GR Corolla has a 1.6-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, which produces 300 horsepower and up to 295 pounds-feet of torque.
With the 2023 Mazda 3, both the hatchback and sedan feel composed on straight and twisty roads and provide a refined ride. Car experts have praised the new Mazda 3 for retaining much of the fun-to-drive nature of the outgoing model. It has taut body control, natural-feeling steering, and a firm ride that manages not to punish occupants when going over rough roads.
When compared, the new 2023 Mazda 3 offers two engine options. Its base-level 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generates 191 hp, while the available turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine makes a punchy 250 horsepower. And just like the Corolla, the 2023 Mazda 3 offers a choice of either a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive system.
When talking about fuel efficiency, the fully gas-powered all-new 2023 Corolla has an estimated gas mileage of up to 31 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway, while the Corolla Hybrid has a fuel efficiency of up to 53 mpg in the city and 52 mpg on the highway. The new Mazda 3 has an estimated gas mileage of up to 28 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway mpg.
Toyota offers their new Corolla model with a hybrid option, which starts at just over $24,000. The new 2023 Corolla Hybrid has a 1.8-liter four-cylinder gas engine which produces 121 horsepower and is combined with a CVT transmission and electric motor.
Also, it gets 53 mpg in the city as well as 52 mpg on the highway for a combined fuel efficiency rating of 52 mpg. Now this gives it up to 593 miles of range on a tank of gas and the estimated yearly fuel cost of $1,050.
On the other hand, the non-hybrid Toyota Corolla isn’t too thirsty either. All the trim levels get the 169 horsepower 2.0-liter that can be combined with the CVT automatic transmission or the six-speed manual.
Also, the manual transmission-equipped new 2023 Toyota Corolla gets 29 mpg in the city and around 39 mpg on the highway for a rating of 33 mpg. Its CVT also gets slightly better ratings, with up to 32 mpg in city as well as 41 mpg on the highway for a combination of 35 mpg. Even the lowest-rated Toyota Corolla has a calculated range of 409 miles on a take of gas.
At the same time, the all new 2023 Mazda 3 is also fuel efficient with its 2.0-liter four-cylinder and automatic transmission. It gets 28 mpg in town and up to 36 mpg on the highway for a combined 32-mpg rating..
Unlike the Corolla, the 2023 Mazda3 can also be equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It's the group's performance choice but only if you’re happy to let gas mileage suffer. It rates at 23 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway to give it a combined average of 26 mpg.
So which compact car is bigger: the Corolla or the Mazda 3? The new Mazda 3 model offers more passenger space than the Toyota Corolla. It has a lot more total passenger volume of 92.8 cu-ft for the new Mazda 3 Sedan and 92.7 cu-ft for the Mazda 3 Hatchback. The Toyota Corolla Sedan has a total passenger volume of 88.6 cu-ft, while the Toyota Corolla Hatchback has 84.6 cu-ft of passenger space.
And as for trunk storage space in the sedan models, the Corolla Sedan has a cargo capacity of 13.1 cu-ft, when compared to 13.2 cu-ft for the new Mazda 3 Sedan. And for the hatchback models, the Corolla Hatchback has a cargo capacity of 23.0 cu-ft, when compared to 20.1 cu-ft for the 2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback.

I own 2021 mazda 3 turbo sedan. I will firmly conclude that top trim mazda3 is completely way out of corolla, civic, and elantra class. Top trim mazda 3 definitely outtakes entry-level Marcede, Audi, and BMW. If you don't believe me, book a test drive.
Mazda beating Germans in luxury and beating fellow Japanese in comfort and reliability. I'm yet to get a driving licence and when I do(in few months) its Mazda 3. Nothing else even considered.
Now hear me out, hear me out, Mazda 6... 👀
"Beating Japanese in reliability" 😂 daft

2019 Mazda 3 AWD Sedan for me. Has been the best car I've ever owned. The interior is so premium feeling and makes it really feel upscale compared to Toyota or Honda. The comfort level of the Mazda is steps above the others.
Damn that was a very thorough comparison video 👍🏼
I like all the Corollas I had driven. However, I do own a Mazda3 and I love it but I think Corollas are excellent cars.
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 And you realize Toyota is a household name, a prestigious name. Mazda is a MUCH smaller company lol
Yea Mazda3 falls apart I look at the 1617 Knicks a stick shift clutches old worn-out the car just falls apart the Mazda3 everyone them
I notice some Toyota Corolla drivers are disrespectful it's childish so now I give them a reason to throw their tantrums.
If you want a driving experience with more smiles per hour, go for the Mazda.
I maintained a 2005 Corolla for 160,000 miles until it was stolen. The most expensive repairs were a charcoal cannister and a starter motor. It was running just fine at that time with everything working. If your philosophy is to run cars until they cost more to repair than they are worth, it's hard to argue against a Corolla.
That is heartbreaking, I hope insurance covered the cost at least. Sounds like a Corolla will be my next car for sure.
@@carllinden533 doubtful someone had comprehensive coverage for a 05 car if they still did the cost of keeping it would have paid for another some model and year easily.
@@estuardo2985 Just another benefit of the Corolla I suppose, very popular and replaceable
Yes, once your car gets stolen, you will think very differently about criminals, you will want them buried under the prison
For my needs and lifestyle, Corolla fits in my vibe. Whatever others may say shall not matter because you drive what you purchased- that should all matter.
I’ll pick Toyota hands down, two of many examples are this. A man I knew who bought a Tacoma and lived on a hill that no 2wd could make it up even in the summer. He didn’t treat it gently. Yet it did not need a brake job until 200k miles. The first brake job. This is not a lie. Secondly my wife passed out behind the wheel of our 2017 Corolla SE while driving (after having a medical issue). The dynamic radar cruise control worked flawlessly at 75 mph I steered from the passenger side with hazards on. There wasn’t enough shoulder to safely shut it off. The car slowed and sped up as it needed to. For over 3 minutes straight.
Mazda 3 Hatchback for me. I love the styling and the interior, and for a base model car to punch out nearly 200 horses is very impressive. Mind you, I really like the new Toyota GR Hatch and imagine it’s a great deal of fun to drive (provided it comes with a 6 speed manual).
Lmao… It ONLY comes in a 6 speed manual. 🤣
My 1988 Mazda 323 was only 81 hp but was fun to drive...engine was built like a swiss watch...it reached 260,000 miles and ran good...salt ate the frame...
Mazda 323 is one of the best cars ever! Turns on a dime!
They are both excellent cars. But I'm a Mazda man at heart. Toyota is a strong second outa off all brands.
Had a Mazda 3 as my company car at one time, great car to drive
Mazda's looks are so tempting
Cool sleek Mazda vs mpg fugly corrola
I got the 2023 Mazda 3 hatchback carbon edition and it’s so sexy man inside and out
Honestly design is more important than mpg
I had a 2020 Corolla SE Nightshade.Traded that in for a 2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade. Only had that Prius for 5 months. Just wasn’t feeling it. Then last,October I stopped in a Mazda dealership. Test drove a Mazda 3 preferred equipment MRSP was about 25,500 pretty much fully loaded. The Mazda 3 has a much better build quality.
Car salesman eagerly await your arrival obviously.
Test drove pretty much all the cars in this class before deciding. There were things I liked and didn't like about each one, but the Mazda just checked more boxes for me and had a very premium upscale feel. No real complaints with it after 24k miles now.
Thats good to hear for me. I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Civic hatch or Mazda hatch but I haven't test driven either. On paper the Mazda has the things I want at a cheaper price. I just need to get out there and test drive them
Lets see if your Mazda lasts to 100k miles without issues.
Did u try the forte gt line?
@@maxwell10206no less than Honda 1.5t and ac issues
Test drove both of these cars, the Corolla Apex felt sluggish after driving an RSX Type S for 10 years. The Mazda still while not as quick felt like a better drive. The Apex cargo room was also smaller than the 3. Apex may look a little cooler IMO but Mazda wins out.
in love with my 2020 Mazda 3 hatch, I got it back in September and to this day every time I drive it, I find it beautiful and engaging
It depends on whats more important to you, The overall cost of ownership and efficiency has to go to the Toyota. On the other hand the Mazda feels much more driver oriented and upscale. You should pick based on which of those is more of what your looking for.
You can also just flip a coin or let your dog decide!

I still use 1992 mazda 1.6 323 familia...still good handling and smooth..
the mazda is legit esp. with turbo and AWD and the lovely interior.
I don't know that I could ever get a CVT car. They are less reliable and far less fun while being more expensive to repair, but they are good in low powered cars where they don't put a lot of strain on the tranny and are looking to maximize fuel efficiency, in which case proper care should see a good few years of use before any major issues arise.
I have a 2023 Corolla SE sedan. It's my 4th Corolla since 2009 and I'm thinking of getting a Mazda 3 to replace it. The Corolla is great on gas and does everything I need...except the CVT is horrid. Some might ask "If the CVT is so horrid why did you keep getting the same car?" It was all I could afford at the time.
Mazda has been improving a lot lately, and this Mazda 3 hatchback is a sporty-looking car.
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 See I don't understand the rotary knob, after a while you would probably get used to it but surely it makes you take your eyes off the road. Why aren't the controls on the steering wheel like the corolla.

@@Alpha_7227 no need to take your eyes off as you already know where the knobs/buttons are. i have a 2015 mazda(3rd gen sedan) and that thing is a must now. all controls at hand level and no need to extend your hand to touch the screen. only minimal use of the controls on the steering wheel. how can you lower your music volume from 40 to 5 in less than 2 secs from the button on the steering wheel?
I sit in a several Toyota models, not just Corolla, and get out quick.
I bought a Mazda.
Why? Due to stiff suspension?
@@constructiongabay4609 When I test drove various models recently before buying, I can say from my own experience Toyotas interiors are a put-off, at least for me. Too basic and utilitarian. Granted I know that's their design language " Simple is better" and less shit to breakdown, but at the end of the day you're driving it daily. I want the upscale feel with features and Mazda definitely feels more premium to drive.
@@junkiexl86 Yes, Toyota are not marketing to you, probably why they own part of Mazda.
I went with the corolla for my wife, and will probably get either a corolla for myself or a camry when I upgrade my car.
Simplicity is fine for me. The car is built like a tank and comfortable enough (in the highest model. I wouldn't want the basic trim, that is still a disaster).
The hybrid system was an interesting quirk at first but after looking at it more closely and driving it a few months, I would prefer an engine like that for myself over a petrol engine.
The long term maintenance cost is ridiculously low. It works out at about half the maintenance and half the petrol cost, and the one we have now will literally go at least 20 years without major mechanical repairs.
Doesn't have a water pump. Doesn't have an alternator. The brake pads last 100k miles or more, never mind replacing the brake disks.
Honestly I've owned a few cars over the years and realising that with the Corolla hybrid there is no need to sell it before it hits major mechanical repair milestones, changed my mind on a lot of things.
I'm still a bit of a petrol head though, so I'll always have a few old cars, but for daily driving.... yeah. Toyota is where it's at for new cars right now.
camry and corolla is too simple and boring to drive its like an everyday taxi
@@l4ndz3r The corolla hybrid isn't boring at all.
As a new Mazda owner myself the only thing I have an issue with is the fuel economy if they can improve that, especially since it's been reported that they are working with Toyota to come up with a Hybrid engine they'll be up there
I have a 2019 Mazda 3 6 speed manual and I’m getting 30mpg in the city and around 36mpg in highway.
It's a 2.5L engine, not much to improve
I own a '20 Preferred and I average about 32.4 MPG on a tank to and from work which is about 50/50 city and highway. I had a '18 Fusion SE before this car and though it got less MPG I def miss it's added range with the bigger tank.
As I went from the 2.0 Sky to the 2.5 and now the 2.5T, economy isn't really an issue for me (I only run 94 octane)
Wait. The new Toyota corolla can be have with ambient light?
Toyota have a great support system with main dealers all over the globe. The economy fingers show the Corrolla is twice as cheap to run, not to mention the Toyota legendary reliability record. Mazda makes nice cars but they simply cannot compete with the might of Toyota.
Had a Mazda 6 as a company car it did 100,000 miles and never missed a beat. Sorry to see it go at the end of the lease.
@@thedieiscast9729 I had 2 Mazda 6 back to back. 2003 hatch then replaced with a 2007 saloon. Both reliable comfortable cars. In 2016 I replaced the second 6 with a 2012 Toyota Prius. Still have it with 340,000 km. Never misses a beat.
I wish reviewers would talk about the radio, quality of speakers, how many speakers, does it have a subwoofer, etc. Which has a better (easier) infotainment system? I'm looking for which is more comfortable, better handling, better suspension, etc. Which cost more yearly to own, repairs, insurance, etc. I don't mean to be so negative and i know you covered some of those things. I'm just ranting about alot of other reviews I've seen and don't mean to take it out on your video. I guess I was hoping for a more personal driving experience
Depending on model Mazda 3 comes equipped with a 12 speaker Bose audio system specifically designed for the 3 with a subwoofer sitting under the floor in cargo inside spare tire. Mazda 3 on average costs less than average per year to repair, and Mazda recommends oil changes every 16,000KM (may vary by trim). Infotainment is only touch when parked, and requires a simple and pleasant configuration to utilize the infotainment whilst driving. Mazda is definitely better handling; not even close. The suspension isn’t on the soft side, but will absorb pretty big bumps without issue. It’s made to be composed and on the sporty side. Mazda 3 is very comfortable and is 8 way power adjustable with 2 memory settings.
The bose in the Mazda3 is fantastic.
@Bryton Munro I've mostly been looking at Mazda 3s or Civic Hatchbacks and I think I can get a Mazda with the things I want cheaper than a Civic. (Radio, power seats, moonroof, leather seats, etc). The info system would be an adjustment but I'm sure I'd get used to it quickly. It's hard cuz the ones I've found are 50+ miles away and I don't have a car right now to get there. Unfortunately there are alot of factors holding me back right now. That's something I have to figure out on my own but I do appreciate the feedback
I have a 2021 Mazda 3 hatchback and the infotainment screen is not touch screen at all, parked or driving,
@Stuart Corlett the only issue I have with that is if you want tonuse the car's nav system it's a royal pain in the dick to type it in with the dial
I'm sorry to correct you the 2023 Corolla hybrid is 134 horsepowers 1.8 litre in 2022 yes 121 horsepowers 1.8 litre thanks
Mazda has been producing high quality and safe vehicles for the past decade now. People have been sleeping on Mazda for way too long.
The Toyota 6-speed manual transmission is only available on the 2023 GR Corolla (2 seater only) and has been dropped entirely from the main Corolla line up. Everything else uses a CVT.
That’s not true. All of the GR corollas get the manual, not just the 2 seater.
I am very tempted to leave my comfort zone of Toyota and try a Mazda. But it's too much of a jump. I like my reliability. My car is going to be 24 this year and is older than me. I'm currently looking to buyer a Scion tC. I'm not sold on any older Mazdas that are in my price range.
Older Mazdas are not super reliable.. this new 3 is yet to be proven on its reliability
I believe a lot of people let both of these companies history bias their opinions. Mazda is no longer partnered with ford and they make their own engine and trans. And its an actual 5spd auto. Toyotas changed those transmissions into cvt's and well...im sure you know what that means for reliability
I'd pick a Corolla Touring Sports 2 litre Hybrid, shame it's not available over in your part of the world.
You might pick either car - depends on what you want. If you want economy the Corolla is clearly better; if you want a more sporty and luxurious drive the Mazda is probably a better choice due to the nice interior and better handling - so - it is a clear winner unless you want both luxury and economy-
The Corolla rules the road! I have had a 2015 and a 2018 Corolla and they were so perfect, it's hard to believe.
My 2016 VW Golf MK7 has had zero failures so far, it's producing 243hp and 273tq with a Stage one tune. It's a keeper.
Still a VW. Not as reliable
Really, must to be a pushing not driving... First time vw with no failure-except cheating,etc, 3 wheel driving, without brakes, and steering, no airbags working...
@@JNguyen07Max True. I have been very lucky so far. This is my third Golf and the 2012 Golf I recently sold only had a clock spring failure which was covered, otherwise no problems.
The most reliable cars that I have owned were my two Saturn SL2's.
Mazda3 for sure, i am the owner of a Mazda3 2022 e-SkyactivX and it is perfect, is faster and more confortable than Toyota, anyway Toyota Corolla is a great car too, i really like it but I LOVE MAZDA
Mazda likes to use Low profile tires. That’s an easy pass. I’d take the LE Corolla with the 16 inch rims anyday.
I have a 2020 Mazda 3 so you might say I'm biased but I'm not, the exterior design the interior of the Mazda 3 feels like you driving a Mercedes or a BMW. People must remember this is a compact Hatch it's not about space that you go for in that case go for a proper sedan or SUV. Test drove the Toyota when I was buying it's damn boring to drive compared to the Mazda 3 feels like you kind of driving a sports car
How will each of these be at 150,000 miles? J D Power is a marketing company
The only issue with Mazda is that the exterior and interior designs have been the same for several years now. Buying a 2023 Mazda 3 is just like buying a brand new 2016 Mazda 3.
Kinda think this comparison is unfair… the Mazda is in a class above the Toyota. Both cars are excellent but the Mazda nips at the heels of their German competition at a lower price point.
Fair argument
Price-wise they cost the same bruh

Corolla 2022 owner, wished mazda had hybrid option. My dad owns a CX7 2012 Mazda and although it keeps running the decay shows significantly both in the body and in the engine, people say Toyota runs well over 200, 000 miles and it must be for a reason however design wise Mazda looks more beautiful, Toyota is like OK a car is simple whats all the fuzz about body and interior design?
Mazda, if you want fun and practicality. Toyota if you want bread and butter day to day. Both reliable and fuel efficient just one is sporty the other not as much.
as a corolla hatch owner with the manual nothing is more fun and easy to maintain as this car, I'm sure the Mazda is a great car too but the corolla is a perfect balance of handling and comfort I have put a little over 31k miles on it and I could easily put many more on!

I love my 2014 Corolla. If I have to do it again, I'd probably go Mazda 3.
I got the 2014 too and for years I debated trading up. But 70k miles laters i have zero complaints. Everything else is just a “nice to have” but not necessary.
@@neondynamite I agree. I'm at 199,900 miles... LOL Everything is "nice to have". My next buy will be an SUV though. I've been doing too much outdoor and "light" off roading with the Corolla. LOL
Toyota Corolla is my win, awsome design and ride.
In North America, Toyota sales is way ahead of Mazda. But in Australia and Asia, Mazda sales is only marginally less than Toyota.
Mazda is the better choice hands down. Toyota and Mazda now have a partnership and are building cars together at their new Mazda Toyota Manufacturing facility in Alabama. This tells you that both Mazda and Toyota are equally highly reliable cars. I just like the Mazda design better.
Toyota Corolla
I would say Mazda none turbo hands down other. Long run would have troubles with turbo
You're probably right
and even without turbo it still has more hp then a Corolla or Civic.
I have that same engine in my Mazda CX-9. No reliability issues at all.
Toyota is still the best! Reliable and fuel economy.
I test driven both but bought the Mazda 😁
Interesting, a great car indeed!
Same, looks so much better, better bang for buck.
I really want a Mazda 3 hatch, but several reviewers have said the suspension is really bad. Where i live there's alot of bad roads and also bad winters1. I'm looking for AWD and a good suspension. Do you have any problems? I'm also considering a Civic sport touring hatch
@@rickymahoney6664 i don't have a problem with the suspension but I down graded from an Merc AMG A 45 which had quite firm suspension in the sports and race mode ,if you have lots of rough roads where you are then may be u should get the Honda .

Theyd be better off softening the ride and making the drive more luxurious like the cabin is.
car experts squeezed 8 bags inside
Gotta say Corolla look better
Toyota no longer offers a manual. Except in that weird Corolla that costs like 50K. The company that once had a really cool Celica has gone totally geriatric.
Both are great but the after sale of these two is an ocean gap.

Considering the cost of fuel, and the inconvenience and obscene cost of car repairs these days, the Corolla is easily the winner.
Mazda3 any day its not even a fair comparison.
The title promises clear winner.. so who is it?
are these cars really the same price in the US? the mazda 3 is nearly twice as expensive in my country... more comparable to the bmws, whereas toyotas are more comparable to dacias and renaults (price wise)..
Got to be the Toyota then!
My Japan-built 2020 TNGA Corolla sedan had a handful of issues/problems develop, so I happily ditched it after only 2 years & 9500 miles for a 2022 Mazda CX-30 CE - which I have had for one year now with zero issues/problems thus far. Toyota doesn't build them like they used to, based on my 2020 model year experience.
What could you have possibly had go wrong that weren't under warranty
@@kyle-qw5yx Warranty doesn't fix a perpetually bad, aggravating & time-sucking ownership experience. Repeated electrical/starter/battery-failure issues, defective transmission, paint quality issues, poorly sound -insulated cabin that developed all sorts of different & annoying rattles/vibrations in the doors, pillars & dash. 3 brand new batteries in 2 years & being stranded twice & needing towing was enough for me. I would buy a cheap used car if I wanted to deal with all sorts of issues/problems & having my vehicle towed repeatedly. So, two years & 9500 miles of that was enough for me on that Toyota. Luckily, my 2022 Mazda has been great so far, with zero issues (one year in thus far). So, make of that whatever you will.
My 21 tundra has been as reliable as all my previous Toyotas
I also have a 16 mazda3 with no issues like them too
When fuel cost 8 dollars a gallon,. Your priorities change
True words
Cinderella vs the stripper. You choose, Romeo!
That Mazda is beautiful! ✌🏻✌🏻
The Goat of Zion says:
Mazda 3.
Nowadays, the only measuring stick for new vehicles is TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) ...... period. Toyota wins every single time.
Not to knock Mazda, their vehicles are very good: but years of experience would make this fairly easy for me. Toyota
I think the yearly maintenance costs and longevity of the drive train should be the biggest factors.
Toyota will win this every single time. The Toyoto Corolla yearly maintenance costs are under $400 for the first 6 years.
Most of them go for 300k+ miles with routine fluid changes and tires/brakes every few years.
how is mazda in comparison when it comes to these factors?
@@WHOTHAFUCK It's a little bit higher at $433. Manual trans also tend to have less issues.
Ew, not really. The new ones with that pesky cvt killed the reliability argument for me.
Should cost 25k for both of them no tax each when u go to buy it overpriced nowadays over 30k for one of the both
Mazda always 🙌🏼
Looking at it, and these things look like cars. How do they drive?! That's 99% of my selection procedure. The rest is almost totally uninteresting.
The Mazda is made in Japan where the workers have pride in their job and are not affirmative action hires, plus the Mazda has a normal transmission and not some CVT which you just never know. It may go bad at 88K like my last CVT, then they wanted $4K to rebuild it.
From these two I choose a new Honda Civic
Another great car!
Exactly! I have never owned one Honda but I think this one will be mine. Too bad that in Europe we dont get the Si version with turbo engine, only hybrid petrol/electric. But it is still a great vehicle
Just make a hybrid. That’s all they need to remain competitive. Just make a hybrid.
The old smiley-faced Mazda 3 of 2013 looked better than the current styling.
if Mazda does not drop their prices, they will be out of business.
Idkn who would pick a mazda 3 over a corolla, I'm pretty sure they will regret their decision a couple years later when their little mazda is falling appart and is time to resell.
I dont know why you think this, Mazda's skyactive platform is very reliable and they had have continually been a top reliable brand in recent years, including only having one recall in all of 2022. Sounds like a personal problem of yours.
@@Cozmozmoz What about the resale value?
Will take non CVT.
There is no wrong choice, but I think I’d go for the Mazda 3.
Since the mid priced Mazda 3 is comparable to the Camry…. Camry
They are meant to do different things. A Corolla is a pure budget car. Even their hybrids are budget cars which means lack of power and luxury. Mazda moved the 3 upscale and as a result it has more power, more features and costs more. Depends what you want. I've always been a mazda fan and just bought a 22 3. I can live with decreased fuel economy because damn, that interior.
MAZDA 3 AWD PR, All day, every day.
Mazda has a Toyota transmission now fixed that problem.
Mazda should've kept a manual option in the sedan.
available in manual in canada ..waiting on mine that i ordered base model with 2.ol engine and standard trans
Why on Sedan only? How about for the hatch?
How many 10+ year old Mazda's do you see on the road still? I will stick with the Corolla sedan.
The Corolla scares me; it's mean looking!

"Not big enough for you"? Jesus! the cars in the US are shamefully too large. You can't by a new small car in the US anymore. It sucks that the smallest car with any quality is the Corolla. In Europe and East Asia, the super-mini is very popular.
The Mazda's outward visibility to the sides and rear looks dreadful. It was a deal-killer right from the beginning.
Even in Europe, both of these would be considered small.
These cars are very small. However We don’t need tiny cars here because our streets are MUCH larger than places in Europe, Asia etc.
The hatchbacks outward visibility is atrocious that I can concur from test drives. Thats why I got the Sedan version of the 3.
The last cars we had in the 2010s before they left had really bad quality.
And also in my opinion anyone who could afford those cheap tiny cars new could also afford a bigger car.
A used car with better quality, more space, and better looks and materials just made more sense.
Plus small cars killed more drivers than any other car. They look like they could barely survive a Camry. Let alone a F-150.
They really weren't that good looking either. New sub compacts I see in other nations look fairly solid. But the last ones we had here objectively looked really bad and obviously wasn't going to appeal to Americans with its cute cheap styling.
Just my opinion. It's probably really depends on each model and other factors.
I'll go with a Corolla Hybrid.
