    Was a Toyota guy the past 15 years and Mazda wasn’t even on my radar when I began looking at first. When looking at subcompact SUVs this channel was one of the firsts to come up. Saw a CX-30 at a stoplight and fell in love. Six weeks later couldn’t be more thrilled with it. So glad not to have to worry about a CVT. And I actually look forward to running errands!

    Still driving my 1990 Mazda 626 Sedan as my daily driver. 32 years old and clocked up over 310,000 miles (500,000kms!!!). Still drives like new! .......
    My late father bought me the 1990 model Mazda 626 sedan in Prestige Silver Metallic colour, back in 1990 for my 18 birthday and as a bribe for me to go to University!! Lol!! He bought it brand new, fully imported from Japan (he paid 32,000 Australian dollars for it back then!)... I live in Melbourne, Australia! In fact it is an Automatic 2.2i. I have never had a problem with it in 32 years and after 310,000 miles (500,000kms!!!!) !!!!!!!!! ... still drives like a dream, like new! Its unreal ... and l absolutely will NEVER part with this car, for both sentimental reasons and my absolute love for this car. I have religiously taken it to get it serviced (oil change and general maintenance) every 6 months (absolutely without fail!) over the course of its current 32 years. Every mechanic tells me my car is never going to die ... it is in incredible condition. None of them can believe it.
    I recently purchased a new 2022 Mazda 3 sedan. I had to wait 8 months for it to arrive here in Melbourne, from Japan .... and am also absolutely thrilled to own the Mazda 3 too. It is a breathtakingly stunning and gorgeous car!!!
    I now drive both cars as my daily driver ... a couple of days a week in my '90 Mazda 626 and a couple of days a week in my new 2022 Mazda 3.
    Like l said, as long as l live, l will never ever, ever part with my Mazda 626. LOVE IT BEYOND WORDS!!! It even has the famous oscillating vents!!!
    If anything ever failed in the car, l am lucky to have some experts here in Melbourne (company called 'ALLMAZ') who deal with all things Mazda related and who have over 1 million Mazda parts from models of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
    My 1990 Mazda 626 is a phenomenal car and absolutely incredible. So happy l own and drive this retro beauty.

    As the owner of a 2019 hatch (2.5L N/A AWD 6spd Auto) I've been waiting for this review! Scotty hits all the key points that make the Mazda3 a criminally underrated car.
    Mostly because it's lost in the fog of the "Hot Hatch" genera. ....No, it's not a "Hot hatch", it's not supposed to be, and it's not trying to be. Mazda has said that this
    is not a direct or spiritual decedent of the Speed3. It is however still a pure drivers car following the mantra of "driving slow cars fast" and if you are of the opinion that "Miata is always the answer" and you get that cars like the Toyobaru Twins don't need forced induction to be what they are supposed to be, then you will "get" the design of this iteration of Mazda3.
    As someone that was cross shopping a wild array of cars both in and outside the Mazda3's segment, it is the perfect combination of things that I wanted of a car without a lot of the things I felt the other cars in the segment or genre I was looking at gave up on for "higher HP and/or boost gauges". It certainly doesn't have any of the reputational stench attached to its fandom that most other "drivers cars for enthusiasts" have.
    Want a great Drivers car? Are you looking at the Hot Hatch Segment, or their base offerings, or the GT86/BRZ/Miata but maybe want something a touch more practical, refined, and or domesticated, and something that won't make you a member of the flat brimmed fanboi brigades? Check out the Mazda3. And hey, realistically, the hatch might be too small for some - good news: it comes in a Sedan too!

    Another spot on review. Love that Mazda isn't simply following the pack and that they're locked in to building top quality driving cars. My 6sp manual G25 Astina sedan is averaging 5.8l/100km (just over 40mpg in the old money) on mostly highway and country roads. This car puts a smile on the dial every time I get behind the wheel. Unfortunately the turbo variant is not available in right hand drive markets.

      @Brometheus420 9 місяців тому

      Premium fuel is only a downside if you can't use regular, since you can with the Mazda it's optional for more HP. Turbos are bad on smaller engines like 1.5L Hondas, but Mazda uses a 2.5L engine now. Larger turbos need high rpms to be effective, but it's a small turbo that works at lower rpms. So all that's left is more engine wear on turbo vs non turbo but we already know that is universal. I'd rather have the turbo than VCM on the non turbos

    I've been a Mazda fan since my 1988 Mazda 323 GT turbo decades ago. Glad to see Scotty has now noticed their quality and value.

    Hey Scotty, could you take a look at the Mazda CX-50 next? It's built on the same platform as the Mazda 3 but it's built in the US. I am curious as to what you think of it.

    I know some will twitch when I say this but we had a Protege in the 90’s and it was a great car. Three members of our family used it for years. I would not hesitate to buy another one

    Looks Sweet! I never gave Mazda a second thought thru my 40+ years of driving. They've certainly come a long long way.😲😲😲
