Wife has a 22 Mazda 3 sedan.. It’s nicely equipped with heated seats & sunroof that cost a bit over $25k.. No CVT & it gets around 38MPGs highway..I had a six & traded it in on a CX9.. Mazda quality is top notch.
wasgetting into my car going to work in my 07 camry 153k today. spoke to this guy coming from his lot. 05 solara 142k. you know people are okay with old cars. no payments. no preposterous insurance. no expensive fancy technology that renders these cars sometimes unfixable - especially Mercedes. the new living with your means.
Mazda is a very solid vehicle. I like it over the civic but the civic is also pretty solid. And thank you for shouting out the fusion, super underrated so you can pick them up for a steal.
I have the Mazda 3 premium plus and the quality of the hole car is top notch ,and plenty of performance specially when I take turns , it likes to carry a lot of speed
I really love this video I feel like if you buy an older car you will be happy then buying a brand new car built today but keep in mind new cars are not the way they used to be before
Always interested in reliable used cars. Have owned a number of German sports cars, able to do repairs myself. Did an engine swap on 325xi, put motor from 330i in it's place. Now getting older not able to do as much, so requiring more reliable rides.I have been following Exotic Car for years, love your content.
Look we got to get out of this tech trap...let's talk about 2005 and back toyotas Hondas and mazda with a little bit of 90s Subaru and get back to DIY simplicity!
I must give a shout out to the 2013 and later model Ford Fusions. I had a 2015 Fusion, and many older versions are still on the road. Overall, a very durable Ford car.
That Mazda 3 is the coolest. Trying to talk my son into getting one.. I read somewhere that it was modeled after the Bugatti Racer X concept car. Someone from Mazda’s design team helped with the design of it & it shows🫡👍🏾 !
We are buying a Mazda next time we need a vehicle. I am keeping my old truck just for when I need to haul or pick something up and my daily driver will be a Mazda. Looking at a Miata they are so fun to drive!
I’ve been in a few new cars especially at the L.A. Auto show and you’re right about all the cheap looking plastics they use today. My two old cars a 2000 Honda Accord sedan and my 2002 Honda Civic Si hatchback both have plastic but to me it doesn’t look as cheap and flimsy as today’s cars and they are put together so well. Both my Honda’s have been and still are very reliable and they still look great. I don’t think I’ll be buying a new car anytime soon but if I was to buy a car I would go with a used car like the ones you mentioned in the video.
The Camry XV80 here I live in Qatar you can get a GLE trim non hybrid 2.5L four cylinder engine with a 204hp (150 kw) and 240nm (177 Ib•ft) of torque with 8 speed automatic transmission, or you can get a hybrid setup 2.5L four cylinder engine with a electric motor combined to a 228-232hp (168-171 kw) and a e-CVT transmission. But I will stick with a Honda Accord Hybrid because the best performance with a hybrid accord just like a 2.0t and 3.0t comes with Acura TLX Type S that a lease it when I travelled to Kuwait (still Kuwait have an Acura cars in there)
I hate anything with a turbo engine I like it simple four-cylinder or six cylinder automatic the less electronics the better simplicity is a necessity 😎
Love the beard you’re rocking dude. But is it ok to get a Mazda 2.0 L sky active engine with a turbo? Because turbos cause problems? Or is that in certain cars and trucks like the new V6 Tacomas?
I have driven In a top spec Toyota Corolla not to long ago and had it for a month, just to see how it felt. Man, wasn’t big mistake, I’ve been never sat in a seat, so uncomfortable in my life, good god they need a change the seats, they are so uncomfortable. And I’m a skinny guy too.
in 18 wanted a nice used car: between accord and camry. these cars are so hot, if they are priced right and in good shape, they go in a day. camry came up. I will never knock a honda.
Mazda is a King! - and 2.0L with manual is more than enough!
Yes they are reliable and fun, something many other brands forgot how to do
YES!
My thoughts exactly 💯
Always had luck with 2 Mazdas I’ve own…..reliable and fun
@hertzair1186 great choice 👌
My son has a Mazda 3 with over 200,000 miles on it. Still runs like a top. His is a 2.5L manual.

The white Mazda 3 is a beautiful car and I would love to have one ,but not for the looks, it's the sporty looks and reliability of the vehicle
Buick LeSabre-Mid 2000's Toyotas- 99-04 GmLS Mazda Honda all great as well, You offer a ton of value to viewers!
3.8 engines some of the best gm ever made.
The Camry is one of the best daily car you can buy. Spacious, comfortable, quiet, and reliable.
07 camry 153k. will go 300k. I change oil every 4k.
I love my Mazda 3. Best car i ever had! Interior is gorgeous!
I really love this video I feel like if you buy an older car you will be happy then buying a brand new car built today but keep in mind new cars are not the way they used to be before
The Mazda CX-5 I rented for a recent long distance work trip was a very nice ride. Though I'm a Lexus/Toyota fan I enjoyed it.
Very nice! Yea more and more people are starting to see the value in these cars
Still being made in Japan, I believe.

Simple and durable is what people want from their cars
I'm not interested in sunroofs but I like the Camry
I must give a shout out to the 2013 and later model Ford Fusions. I had a 2015 Fusion, and many older versions are still on the road. Overall, a very durable Ford car.
Thanks. Yes they are some of the better Ford vehicles indeed
I love the hatchback

Yes they are such great cars and have a fun personality too. Great buy
great video
Thanks for the visit
Bought a new 2024 Mazda3 6MT last year. Loving every mile 👍🏽
The R18 motor for Honda actually was used in 9th gens from 2012 to 2015.
I would love to have a manual transmission in the white Mazda
I have a 2024 white manual with red interior. Love this car!

98 to 02 accords are great.

Every older Mazda I see has significant rust problems. More to my eye than the same aged Honda (although they have paint blistering issues) or Toyota.
2004/2008 Acura TL very reliable.
Love Mazda my 2018 3 is great with 79000 miles only thing I have replaced is the battery
I like the Fusion, but I don't want the ecoboost
Is the Mazda CX-5 sill being produced in Japan?
I have the Mazda CX3. Great car
Love your channel. What do you think of Nissan leaf S 40Kwh for daily commute of 50 miles round trip?

I'll take the Civic with the 1.8 litre and manual transmission
Newer Mazdas are dull looking cars. I would definitely buy one if they changed the look. I had a 2005 mazda 3 and it was a great car.
I just bought a 2014 accord coupe 4cyl. What do you think of those?
in 18 wanted a nice used car: between accord and camry. these cars are so hot, if they are priced right and in good shape, they go in a day. camry came up. I will never knock a honda.
GMC Canyon alert
My 2013 Ford Fusion has a manual transmission, which is the only reason I enjoy driving it 👍
that Mazda 3 looks like a sand shark 😹👍🏼✌🏼
👍
