    i have a 2009 mazda 3 and it blows away other cars I have used. Audio system is amazing, handling is amazing, easy to see out of, comfort, quick acceleration, easy to mod, good looking (i do have premium options on everything though)

      TunerCarFan I've got an '09 too and love it but the sound system isn't that great (I transferred my speakers, subs, and amps from my old vehicle, it blows most everything out of the water).
      The thing I love about my Mazda is that after having had a 4x4 truck it, I gotta say it does absolutely amazing in the snow when you turn off DSC and put it into manual mode,

    This video was actually quite helpful when I test drove a Mazda 3 because it show'd me how to change region settings (like to Celsius, like the rest of the world uses) and to test speakers, check compartments, check signal strength, check if anything was stuck in the hand brake. So it helped me decide to buy my 2007 Mazda 3. Thanks!

      I've had a 3 since 2007 and it runs great. Did a two week, 3k-mile road trip in it last May from FL to Memphis, Louisville, Chicago, Wisconsin, Iowa, Arkansas, Missippi and a couple other states I don't remember. Ran like a champ even when I had to take a detour on a dirt road that looked like it hadn't been maintained since Noah's Flood. Love my car, even with its quirks. And I'm fond of telling people a Mazda is just a Ford that runs.

    I used to watch you as a kid. I remember vaguely you had your own radio station setup in your backyard that played all your songs from a pc when you went grocery shopping. I recently bought a Mazda 3 sport as a daily driver to keep miles off my Infinitis and I was looking for audio upgrade videos and found this one. Small world when it comes to the internet I see.

    Mazda and ford have worked together for years... its not like anyone tried to hide that fact. Ford had a 33% stake in the company. For example a ford ranger is simply a mazda b3000 and vice versa. However, ford no longer owns that 33% and mazdas are now 100% manufactured, assembled, and shipped from japan.

    Funny stuff, thanks. The MOST annoying thing about my '08 3 is changing the oil. The cutout in the under plastic panel doesn't match the position of the oil filter. So, you have to drop the entire tray to take the filter off. Stinks for a car of this caliber. I had to rectify it myself with my trusty Dremel tool. Loosing and breaking some clips and screws in the process.

    In addition to the Ford markings on the dipstick, I also found it on the fuse box under the glove compartment.
    Two big annoyances for me are the difficulty in replacing the cabin filters and the PCV valve. I can just remove the filters and not replace them, but I'll almost certainly be paying a mechanic to change the PCV valve.

    Neat trick with the RF signal meter. I'll have to keep that in mind. I'm a broadcast engineer and sometimes it'd be nice for me to know whether or not one of my stations is coming in wonky because tropospheric ducting is making another station come in on top of it, or if I'm just plain too far away. My 6 probably has the same diagnostic options tucked away in there.

Just change the oil and do routine maintenance, and it's good as gold.

    Yes, a lot of modern car radios have these diagnostic features. I just wish there was some way to adjust the stereo blend; this radio plays most FM stations in mono (even when the "ST" is lit) unless the signal is very, very strong. On my VW's radio I found a trimmer on the back to adjust it, and I turned it all the way down so that even weak FM stations play in stereo.

    @TheYoooth When it starts pouring rain (like it did in this video) and you need to close your car's windows quickly, then yes, needing to find, insert, and turn your ignition key is an unnecessary annoyance and delay.
    It would be much better if all cars with power windows let you open or close all the windows simply by holding the key in the unlock or lock position in the driver's door, like you can do on Volkswagens, but most other brands do not have this feature.

      It's been years since I owned the car so I don't remember all the details, but I'm pretty sure in the older model years of the Mazda3, the temperature display was only offered on the high-end trim levels. Eventually they added it to all except the lowest trim level.

    I like the Versa. For the price you can't beat the amount of interior room it has. I drove one of the $9990 base models and was really impressed. It's tuned more for comfort than sportiness, but still not a bad ride -- better than a Corolla or Cobalt, that's for sure.
    The Mazda3 is based on the same platform as the Volvo S40 and European Ford Focus, and you can really feel the Euro influence in the way it drives, compared to Mazda's previous Japanese engineered models.

Mazda and most other brands only give you auto-up/down on the driver's window, and only about 30 seconds of retained accessory power (again, for the driver's window only).

    Actually the Tritec engine was used in the PT Cruiser, not the Neon, and only outside the USA. The current generation of MINI uses Peugeot engines.

      You can buy a gadget that plugs it onto the 12v/cigarrette connector and by radiofrequence you can listen the music in your radio

    @CustomCars100 If you take off the center console trim cover, you should be able to retrieve some of it. It's not difficult, you just unscrew the shift knob, and then you can pull it up and out.

    I owned a 2008.5 Mazdaspeed 3. Fun car. Had an issue with the stereo where a certain volume level, bass is cut off. Mazda finally admitted it was an issue and updated the firmware, but still required the entire stereo to be replaced. No issues since. Decent sounding for a non-Bose model.

      Oerg866 It’s pretty common, you just don’t hear about all of them because they don’t all masturbate to the thought of being superior to other drivers. Dilusions of grandeur. STFU.

      My name is Andrew and I'm totally superior to other driver, especially those named Lewis.
      On another note, the bit about the annoyance of coins sliding into the parking brake slot is the truth. I'm not sure how many coins have been lost in mine, but it's quite a few.

    Oh yeah! Well the 2010 and above radio has a huge tuner dial straight smack in the middle and a small volume dial to the lower left. So for the first few weeks you are constantly changing the station instead of lowering the volume to hear something or someone in a hurry. Do people really change their station that much where you need a supersized dial? I thought that is what presets are for.
