@@Zeal808 thank you getting it in spring ,my test drive waas awesome.. so quite , awesome drive and steering. very sporty and comfortable with luxury.. im all aboard 😊
Let me put it this way, I've had this car in the premium trim (non turbo) black ext/int since October, and im still watching videos about it. Absolutely love this car. It gets a lot of compliments and I still look forward to driving it every day.
You get compliments in a Mazda3? From who, your mother? It's a nice car and punches above its weight, but it's still an economy car that's as commonplace as the Nissan Sentra.
Found a mazda hater. That’s simply not true. The Mazda 3 is actually a pretty low volume product. no where close to being common place as a sentra in a multitude of ways. it’s also a fantastic car that punches about its class. definitely not an economy car. a premium hatchback yes
@tlf361 I mean, it's not a Lamborghini or a gtr man. I certainly wont claim that it would win any street races. But for its price, it's a super attractive, well styled vehicle with insane options for the money. If you want to be an elitist that's on you. Lol. I've personally seen maybe 3 or 4 of these on the road in the year I've had it.
@Allcarnews Low volume? Here they're literally more commonplace than the Sentra (albeit that's not saying a lot given how unpopular the new Sentra is here)... I'm definitely no Mazda hater; I love the Mazda3 and am actually very interested in a CX-50 for my next car, but let's be real... It's a dime a dozen, and no one is complimenting a Mazda3 (not seriously at least).
@GhostShip94 I don't disagree, it's a great car for the value. I just didn't expect compliments on a car that's as common place as anything else on a road... but I guess different cars are more popular in different places. Here, there's a Mazda3 literally at every corner.
I have this exact car but as a 2022 model & I'm OB$E$$ED 😭😭😭 right down to the body style, trim, & colour combo 😭😭😭 I took it on a very spontaneous road trip from Chicago to GA & TN right before the holidays & lemme tell ya... this thing really does it all, & it does it all so well 😭😭😭
It's just so beautiful. I own now a Mazda 2 or Demio in some parts in the world. My next car is a Mazda 3 SkyActiv X, hatchback in Crystal Soul Red and manual transmission. Can't wait.
We have a turbo 3 hatchback in red on our lot rn. Haven’t driven it yet, my co worker that drove it spoke very highly of it. He was really impressed, forgot he was in a Mazda.
Great job on this video, I expected it to be bland like many of the others out there on RUclips, but just like the car you reviewed, you exceeded expectations, got a sub 👍
Mazda is so underrated! I have owned 4 different Mazda vehicles and currently own a 2021 Carbon Edition,AWD , CX9 the carbon package is absolutely loaded. Mazda continus to deliver a an amazing product with overwhelming attention to the finest of detail. Why Mazda is not TOP in overall sales continues to confuse me? All I can say is more people need to test drive the new Mazdas and do a non biased overall comparison. Believe me my 2021 CX 9 AWD Carbon Eddtion is the best and most refined vehicle, I have ever owned and I have owned many luxury German brands. Mazda does it better and cheaper. Mazda is currently showing its 2024 lineup and they continue to best themselves Ps - no I do not work for Mazda in anyway lol. Just letting people know Mazda is a unrecognized incredible line up of vehicles
It's cool. How is the visibilty for u? Is it that bad? It has the side mirror warnings. Sedan looks good too. Is that front wheel drive? Engine sounds great
The rear blind sports are bad but the Blind spot system helps a ton! It’s largely a non issue if you can get over it but if you REQUIRE visibility the interior can feel claustrophobic i presume. personally i could care less as the car is so good
I just bought the manual hatchback and the blind spots are bad, but I've always angled my mirrors away from the view of my car to cover the blind spots. If angled right, there really isnt any blind spot. As a redundancy, the blind spot warning indicates when a car is there so, no issue here for me.
Don’t get me wrong - I still love my ‘21 manual 3 hatch. But I do often find myself wondering how much worse the interior would be if they invested in a fully independent rear suspension…
let’s not find out 😂… interior switchgear is… EXPENSIVE. Some people don’t realize HOW expensive it is.. millions of dollars to develop. And Mazda went above and beyond with theirs. Simply having all of the interior buttons illuminate is nuts for this segement let alone the luxury car level fit and finish and button tactile feel.
I have a 2019 AWD NA hatch and it’s a really fun little car. My only gripe is the size of the gas tank. Since I drive all the time for work I’m constantly having to stop at the gas station.
I can’t stand when ppl complain that a small car has small space! Like, obviously its going to have small space cuz its a small car. If u want more space then why r u buying a small car in the first place? Thats why all these awesome little cars keep growing with every generation! SMH! 🤦🏻♂️
You say The space is tight in back because you have the seat leaning back more than is proper when driving. As a Chiropractor, I have seen many patients over the years who developed low back problems and they all sit with their seat’s leaning back too far in their vehicles. I’m 6’1” and have no problem sitting in back with my driver’s seat positioned properly!
I might get some real hate. I love this car but it really doesn’t fit in anywhere. It’s at cheap price point with the civic and stuff but they don’t really have a true performance model bc they don’t want to go that way. So they did luxury but it’s not really luxurious bc well it’s a cheap car. Just in a very odd spot in the market. Also don’t get me started on the rear interior of this car
@@Allcarnews I actually test drove one a few months ago, ofc in one of the most beautiful reds, and I really did enjoy it. Infotainment was surprisingly great but it just felt like a slow hot hatch or a cheap luxury car. I mean this car is beautiful inside and out but just felt like
It was missing something. But a big bad was the backseat and hatch size. I mean it’s crazy how small it is. Hate to say it but I’d love for this car to be electric, shorten the nose and get some more room
Overpriced for what it is, $1k more and you can have a Mercedes 250 and it's a Mercedes not a Mazda. If you have to have a Mazda, get CX-5 turbo. It's just a better vehicle.
This is simply not true at all. A “Mercedes 250”, assuming you mean a CLA250, has less power, and starts as a FWD vehicle and if you truly have been in both, this not only drives better, is better built and looks galaxies better. The CLA 250 also STARTS at $40k USD while this is fully loaded at $35k. it’s simply a better buy and comes with all the same features as standard vs adding option over option. Also having driven the CX-5 turbo and every product in Mazda’s lineup on my channel so far, it is no where near as refined or as premium as the new 3 platform interior and fit and finishes, albeit the CX-5’s suspension is good.
Im getting this baby this year. lets go 😎
CONGRATS!
@@Allcarnews You won't regret it. Had mine for a little over a month now & I'm absolutely in love with it!
Definitely won’t regret it! It’s a different feeling then any other car on the road. Super comfortable sporty driving experience

Do you believe the Sedan version would perform equally to everything you mention? Why or why not 😮
@@ENTJ47 Having driven both, the hatch feels sportier and i don’t really know why. It has more sporty aero too i think Mazda put more effort into it
@@Allcarnews Humm interesting! That does make a lot of sense! TY!

I’d buy one in a heartbeat

We have a CX-9 signature in review right now and i’m surprised how much i like it for being this old! It’s still a fantastic car
Bought this car almost 2 years ago polymetal gray w red interior love it so classy only 3k miles

Have you had any trouble with the front air dam hitting when you go into an elevated driveway. Another brought up this issue.

I donno for reason am binging videos for this car and looks like am obsessed
sorry how many resolution of Connect or player ?
Was watching this review on the same day I was driving up to Harriman. So perhaps it’s a sign

Yeah, the way I see it is they had to cut somewhere even though the torsion beam seems to be tuned well.
does it come with heated seats or heated steering
both

I own a 2022 Red PP ! Love it!
can the air vents be partially closed? I mean: you can only open/close them or you can also get a "partial air flow" (as it is normal in all cars)
yes you can do that
THE MINI GTC4 LUSSO
fuel comsumption?
5sec 0-60 👏🏾
Yes I will buy it because have some interior
I just get mine, noticed they did not include Rear Bumper Guard 2:30. now I'm wondering what else did not include.
Oh yikes
Probably depends what trim you got.
@@Fastdonkeynads 2023 premium plus awd turbo soul red crystal and everything else, lol. any ways I get it after waiting for a backorder.
@charliemendez1479 hmmm I got a 2024 awd turbo on the way. Now I'm curious if mine has one
@@Fastdonkeynads congratulations! keep us posted.
Honestly, it is better than the Honda civic hatchback sport touring?

I agree but not everyone wants to sit straight up..
Try using that infotainment knob controller with CarPlay or Android Auto.
It's terrible.
i’ve gotten very much used to it 🤷🏼♂️
its really not that bad, scrolling is faster than tapping around a screen once you got the muscle memory of it
2024s are touch screen for only Apple and Android play..
i think its well built ...

A badgeless premium hatch or a soulless hot hatch. Mazda was so close... but nope ... end up with a halfbake hatch.
Couldn’t disagree more. It’s a fantastic car… Don’t knock it till you try it

Also mazda engines are way more reliable and cheaper to maintain than the Germans
I think we'd all agree with you but then we'd all be wrong. In almost all ways, the A250 is a worse vehicle.
As someone that works in the industry tbh I would rather have the top of the line Mazda than a budget merc.
Don’t get caught up on the name Mercedes lol
Does Mazda 3 2023 Astina also have both the ring taillights glowing ? Or it just one each ?
i am checking it out, but i am 6'3 225 so idk how i would fit in the seat 😮💨
