  • We've always love Italian designs, but their reliability track records left many wanting and fear. Japanese cars while reliable, has always looked rather childish when it comes to designs, until recent Mazdas.

    If Honda Malaysia & Toyota Malaysia bring the Corolla hatchback & Civic hatchback just like Mazda 3 liftback here for sale, it will be a massive challenge and might competitive price. Unfortunately, no plan to bring hatchback here.

    The fuel lid! Didn't notice it until now when Bobby focuses on the rear left hump.
    The lid doesn't flow with the design! What a waste..

      I don't understand why Malaysians are so obsessed with black interiors these days :( Back in the day, we were more liberal with it. Early Proton Sagas even had blue interiors. Blue! I do fancy myself a white interior.

    i went to see this car firsthand at the showroom..both the sedan and the hatchback..greeted warmly by the SA, he explained everything about the car while condemning other comparable cars (the civic and the new altis, of course), looked very desperately trying to justify the ridiculously high price with the so-called "premium-ness"...
    yeah i have to agree that this new model looks fantastic, the quality build is in fact 'premium', with its clever transmission n handling...
    but in the end, what we look is what is value for money...
    overall, with this price, i'd go for other options...

      more or less same experience when i went to test drive the hatch 2.0 at Mazda glenmarie. The SA said that that the new mazda 3 does not compete with the civic, but more towards merc A class. wow they themselves jack the prices up and then have to suka hati elevate thier own class. lol.

    I prefer the hatchback - but the sedan looks also very good. I has both seen in my favourite colour white - and it would be not easy too choose. Anyway, I am waiting for the CX-30.

    @vitalyromas6752 4 роки тому

    Thanks for one more great review of the new Mazda 3. Hatchback's design looked too strange to me on the first photos available. But in real life it looks stunning. This should be the evolution of the Focus II, but instead of new Focus, this Mazda is much much more attractive. The only cons - lack of small luggage hooks in the boot ))
    As for the relatively small rear windows... they are great. The ambiance is great. For those who are looking for airy interiors, there are a lot of SUVs. For those, who need a 4-person practical hatch but with Audi A5 -like ambiance, this new 3 model has perfect windows and interior ambiance )
    Fabric seats are perfect and I do not understand some claims like "fabric seats, oh it is not premium"... For me, these fabric seats are better than the seats of W205.

    Probably the most detailed review , even power window speed and why the arm rest slides.. love it! I had a go in this over the weekend, the 1.5L variant. The way it looks in and out makes me want the car, until i drove it. Power wise is just disappointing, and the brilliant chassis just emphasis that more. Given a choice, will you buy this over a Golf Tsi dsg? Golf is very well built, strong powertrain, but pricey and may not be as reliable.

    • @BobbyAngmalaysia
      @BobbyAngmalaysia  3 роки тому +1

      I'd go for the 2.0 Mazda 3; but yes, Golf is more powerful, more comfortable, but also feels more like a utility than this. This feels like an Alfa Romeo that the world has been waiting for - a reliable and beautiful everyday car for enthusiastic drivers

      That’s an insult to Alfa Romeo. No doubt Mazda has improved tremendously over the years. But to compare it with Alfa Romeo? Not even in the same league. Btw, for those who have never own an Alfa, pls do not jump into conclusion on the reliability based on “hear say” or feedback. I have driven 2 Alfas 147 and 159, the reliability beats a bmw anyday.
