Good review, guys. One suggestion, though: park them right next to each other for the exterior comparison, and use split-screen to compare the interiors. It would give much more information than speech alone can.
I’ve got the 2018 Touring BN model (Australia) and I love it. I believe the refresh looks better than the original especially with the sleeker headlights and wider grill……
The front end on the old one looked better. The chrome accents are cleaner without those weird hooks on the top next to the headlights. Also I like the way the bottom lip on the old 3 seems to go smoothly all the way across the bottom instead of sticking out in the middle like on the new one. Basically the old one had a cleaner look. I do like how the new one made the fog lights blend in more though.
My 2015 S Touring I believe is with 2.0 with 6 speed manual. I have family in a Mazda dealer so get great deal so I've had sooo many 3. I really run my madza hard and it's great. I average 35+ all the time and can imagine I could squeeze more on the highway. Only I issue I've ever had with my car is the Infotainment center what a headache. I reboots its self, it's turns off and very difficult to update GPS maps on sims card. But other than the 2 recalls all is good, hope my lease is up when a full refresh hits.
@@dmonk926 Yeah the cars are very expensive rn which sucks cause I need a car for work and all the decent prices are in NY 😬 How much did you spend for the 2014?
@@jajajajayeahyeah237 i actually live in Jamaica. I got it for the equivalent of 14,000 USD. The Singapore version. That includes a hefty import duty of about 75% . 2017s are about $22k atm
This was an interesting video for me. I'm looking for a used 3 for my son, and I'm currently trying to decide between a 2016 and a 2017. It's looking like it will be the '17 because of multiple factors, but if it were exterior styling alone, I would chose the '16. This video pointed out several suble differences that I was totally unaware of.
@@Thechosen77 I ended up getting a 2016. The one I bought was the best combo of price, color, mileage, condition, and body style that I found at the time. Solid little car.
Hi, excellent video, I have one only question, talking about interior space, which one has more space in the back sits, I hope you would answer this, thanks again
Having climate controls on the centre screen would not be very mazda jinba ittai. Proving this is MG HS where everything is done in a touch screen. It lags so heavy. If you see a messy truck ahead of you and want to set AC to recirculate… just don’t both you’ll be waiting 15 years for the mg’s screen to show the control. Mazda… just 1 press… milliseconds.
On some key fobs at least with my Nissan if you hold down the lock and unlock buttons it will put it in silence mode and only the lights will flash when you go to unlock it. Try that
hi i was wondering if you can make a review of the 2017 mazda 6 sport vs a previus year model and if you can add any insights to adding some plus things like changing the lights and all to make it look like a higher trim version id greatly appreciate it, im thinking of adding some nice looking fog lights to mine since mine didnt come with them and maybe changing the interior lights as well and maybe even the headlight bulbs to a brighter color, everything so far is standard package so i want it change it up a bit
you can also do the MZD connect completely by feel, there are 5 buttons each for one finger, if you rest the hand on the knob and the home button is higher so you can differentiate it from the music/nav ones. Took me some weeks to realize this but it's really awesome. Also this is the thing I hate that manufacturers like Tesla don't realize when they go all minimalist/touchscreen on the cars ....
The17s are taking a lot from the Mazda 6 Also on the 17 look at the crome accent in the grill it lights up like the 6 the really took a lot from the 6 most people didnt notice that
I bought a brand new one, ie. The GT with HID and fake perforated leather. I kept it for about 4 months. My tail bone hurt, I couldn't get comfortable. Changed to a Volvo V60, difference was night and day and the Volvo soaks up bumps and miles much better.
I've had my 2017 GT for 6 years now. Still really happy with it.
I agree I have the 2018 sport, and the interior is nicer, the steering wheel and middle arm rest nicer
2015 exterior look better for me.

Thank You for the advice. I will definitely do that that with the next comparison.
i like this car. best looking car in this price range.
absolutely it is. Mazda knocked it out of the park with styling on these cars
user 007 it looks like a mini van to me

According the mazda website, the touring steering wheel and gear shift knob are both leather, not leatherette. This comment is in regards to @7:40

I think you have them mixed up

Thank you was looking for the main differences between the 2015 & 2017.
You sure the grill on 2017 is smaller? It looks bigger to me
Quality review, very helpful to see the differences before I buy. Thank you.
I'm buying the 2014 this week, the 2017/18 in about two years lol
update?
@@jajajajayeahyeah237 i have the 2014. Still nice. And the price of the 2017 are still sky high!

I love Mazda 3. You guys have the good one down. Hope that one day I will have a Mazda 3 too
Great video man! Subscribed!
thank for watching and subscribing!!!
Hi, excellent video, I have one only question, talking about interior space, which one has more space in the back sits, I hope you would answer this, thanks again
They are exactly the same. They both have great space. But if you want more space look a mazda6
G Ryders, thank you very much for the response, regards
No Problem, Thank You for watching!!
2015 looks really sleek and cool. This a higher trim??? I want a mazda now. Lol
+Ninja k yes the 2015 is the top of the line. It's really nice. You should get one!!
between 2015 and 2016 which one do you think is better? im looking to buy one soon
medirs did u buy one? Is Mazda 3 a good buy.? Planning to buy a 2015 one in 2020 lol
does the 2017 mazda 3 use leatherette in the gt model? I thought it was real leather?
I think dont so. The one in the video is a touring
G Ryders is there a difference between the touring and gt? I'm from Canada and we have the GX, GS, and GT trims.... is it the same in the US?
In the us it different we have sport touring and grand touring.
why would you not compare the top of the line model '17 that would be equal to the '15sGT

How is your unlock sound when using the key fob so quiet? My '16 has that annoying loud honk noise.
On some key fobs at least with my Nissan if you hold down the lock and unlock buttons it will put it in silence mode and only the lights will flash when you go to unlock it. Try that
On my '15, you can change the door lock beep volume in the settings on the infotainment screen.

14-16 is soooo much cleaner and looks more aggressive. 17+ just looks like they had to change something, just looks forced and “changed”.
I wish interior of Mazda 3 had some features of RX8, cause it was so ''nasty''
Ooh my God... these two car facing each other... I think they both are trying to start a war... But anyways nice design
Fuel consuming? Pleas
I do climate by feel i dont usualy look down much more than a quick glance

I never change my climate control, it's always set at 69 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Price???
I covered that in the Individual review of the car
Your sound volume is very low on this one ....
The17s are taking a lot from the Mazda 6
Also on the 17 look at the crome accent in the grill it lights up like the 6 the really took a lot from the 6 most people didnt notice that
+Jay Moore I know. Mazda6 is a great looking car and I'm very glad Mazda went the same route on the 3 as they did on the 6!
Jay Moore wait what? The chrome grill piece doesn’t light up like the 6, where did you get that from?
I just really wish we had the 2.5 litre in the UK instead we have a 120ps and the 165ps which are shit

Glenn McKee isn't a Volvo a luxury vehicle though,. Kind of defeats the purpose of this comparison when your spending xx amount more on a vehicle..
Pues x lógica, un año más pues ay q innovar, y si son 2 años más pues aun mas..
thanks
it looks like a Ford Focus.
