Drove it back-to-back with a 2019 A Class hatchback - except for the power deficiency- it was a far more refined car to drive. I suspect it is a much better made product to boot. Had the A-class for a day and found it far too harsh for bumps, the transmission was jerky and was noisier than Mazda. 3 AWD is a great achievement!
thoth111 I’m one of the people. I’m considering the A250 Mercedes as well as the new Mazda3 hatchback. It’s really impressive how far Mazda has come. Currently I’m driving a 2017 Audi A3 E-trom Sport. So I’m really not that of a Brand snob :) I really like technology.
Just bought mine today in Deep Crystal Blue MIca with Red Interior. I got the Premium trim as well because it has all the goodies. This car definitely punches way above its weight class when compared to the competition. Oh and I sold my Porsche 911 to buy this car. Believe it or not.
mac daddy I didn’t know that the red interior could be had with the deep crystal blue exterior? It must be a killer combination! Which market? Were you looking to offload your 911, or is it just because you like this car so much?
@@bill7481 I liked this car so much that I sold the 911 and used the money to buy it. The fit, finish, color combination and exterior fastback style shape really caught my eye.
People are divide about the design of the car and I just think it is amazing! Finally something different! The infotainment system I'm not so sure tho. Love your review! All the best @@/
I currently drive a 2010 Mazda 3 GT-E with 283,000 km...mostly highway! Amazingly fun and responsive to drive and no reliability issues whatsoever! I actually located a one of a kind find at a Mazda dealer and it’s a brand new 2018 Mazda 3 with premium and tech package! This 2018 handles exactly like my 2010 fun, fun and more fun! I will be purchasing one of the only brand new fully loaded 2018’s around! I had already test driven a 2019 Mazda 3 with premium package and AWD which made me feel claustrophobic and the visibility was terrible. For a person like myself who is a true spirited Mazda driver and who loves responsive steering and changing lanes....this car is an accident waiting to happen. I like to drive with my arm on the window ledge we’ll forget about this car then. The plus side to the 2019 is it’s very quiet and smooth...smooth as you don’t feel the bumps...but I myself like to feel the road because I feel more connected to my driving...
It’s a very nice car. I had a 2016 sedan (sport trim). It liked all the standard equipment (blind spot monitoring,auto headlights, auto windshield wipers, etc) it came with. The only negative about this car would be getting to without blind spot monitoring. It would be impossible to see lol.
I think they need to add a turbo charged engine for the higher trims. At that price point people will cross shop it with the gti, which is also very nice interior wise, but just beats the Mazda in performance and sportiness.
@@69memnon69 People with a $30k budget looking for a nice and fun hatch will definitely cross shop them here, especially if they want a manual transmission. It wouldn't be highest trim vs highest trim, but it's reasonable comparison for a shopper.
It’s crazy that this 3 is way cheaper in Canada and it is same price range as the GTI which as you said is faster. I haven’t seen the new 3 in person. I will check it out sometime. GTI is 25-33k USD
You know Steven....you keep on informing me with all this positive information regarding the 3 I just may have to purchase one before I wait for my 2008 Nissan Sentra to die. LOL!
As usual the styling is amazing. Love the body shape and the hood/grille design. Wheels also look great. The interior in red looks very cool and the quality of materials also seems very good. As for the color of the car they sent you, I think it is so depressing. This cool compact design needs a better exterior color choice, which I am sure many are available. The non touch screen isn't such a big deal for the driver but it does seem like a nuisance for the passenger. It just would seem awkward for the passenger to be using the dial control that was clearly engineered for the use of the driver. Lastly, no USB ports in the rear is just a really dumb oversight. They are so easy to integrate and cost is so low. Every backseat should have some USB ports available. Overall an awesome new compact hatchback.
Once they put that turbo in there this car will be flying of the showroom. I will be there to trade in my 2016 Mazda 3. Great review Dave, do I new review of the car not in the rain.
2 things not to like: FWD and you really have bring front seats forward unlike bmw 118 in order for back seats to fold if you need more space in trunk , bmw has somehow more room in back, I checked and test drove both. preferred mazda for driving/ steering feel for sure. bimmer felt just dull
@@stephenhendricks103 How long is a long, long time? I have a 2014 Mazda 3 that runs excellent. I would like to trade it in for the 2020 Skyactiv X. Any chance that happens in the USA?
@@everymandriver Same here. Also, after a long cold winter it doesn't feel that cold. It was mid 40s here in Salt Lake today and I ran errands in a polo shirt and jeans. Sixty with bright sunshine feels almost hot. I used to live in Seattle and thought anything over 70 was hot. Perspectives change.
The 3 hatchback looks rather Alfa-Romeo-ish. Like the overall look, interior is very nicely done, but the lack of an independent rear suspension kinda sucks.
putting that nav console back makes it almost unusable if you wanted to replace it with something better when it inevitably becomes dated, not sure I like it at all.
Thanks for the review. I want to solicit you for your advice though about "PAINT PROTECTION - DURA SEAL", is it worth it or not? I'm not very familiar with Cars very much but in my own opinion, Brand New Cars of any company come out of the factory - paint and rust protected already. Am I correct to assume this? Your thoughts please, much obliged.
Really too bad Mazda is not offering a “signature” model with a turbo, ventilated seats, 360 camera etc. I’d buy that in a minute. Looks like I’m getting a CX-5 signature.
I think Mazda is figuring the market would be way too small for such a trim. Top trim already gets to around $28K which is already getting steep for a compact. A turbo with all the features would probably get to over $32K. There's already some curious overlap with the Mazda 6. I bought a 2018 6 GT Reserve which has the turbo, ventilated seats, etc. and is much more car overall than the 3 yet costs $31K. Unless you just want a small car, I see no reason to just get the Mazda 6.
360 camera is available in some markets (e.g. Europe, Australia), turbo may be available in the future if demand is strong enough from people who would buy new (I believe there is the room to put in the 2.5 turbo already used in the CX-5 and CX-9). IMO there is an off chance that ventilated seats might become available as well, if the Mazda3 does well enough, especially in high trim levels.
I drove two in the past few months. Coming from a 2004 grand cherokee, the visibility takes getting used to, but with all the blind spot tech you should be fine
Now that it has torsion beam in the rear, why isn't the trunk wider? What is taking space between the external sheet metal and the interior plastics? It is not like there are struts or anything, neither a subwofer
now its time to invest in a good 4k camera with good stabilization or a gimbal, and a good wide angle lens. no lie i have a 4k monitor so 1080p should look good but its very grainy.
@@bill7481 Mazda sells very well in Canada and Australia, so the local divisions may have a lot more influence with HQ in terms of demanding certain features for their models.

it does. i test drove it a few days ago.. if you hold down the volume knob it will also turn the display off completely and press and hold again to turn it back on without turning off audio.
This is the first review of Mr. Dave that i watch where i don’t think he is being completely genuine about the review. Some of the faces he did when gave areas of the car a thumbs up just did not seem to be true. This is just my opinion.
I also noticed the hatch has high window sills even in the front. I like resting my arm on the window sill on pleasant days. The interior feels claustrophobic in this car.
I can't understand why manufactures are putting the key fob buttons where there is less space as opposed to the side where there is so much. It's just plain stupid to have to touch tiny buttons on the side. Don't get it. Nice car tho

I know right. Just rename the CX4 currently selling in China .....
Saw it yesterday and the inteior feels cheap compared to the 3, CX5, CX9. Ill go for this or the CX5
Been waiting for this one!!
I’m gonna check out a used one this weekend , now it’s 2021; and the wireless charging spot definitely get an extra credit to my decision!

At the launch event they let you take it on deep wood trails on 10 feet of snow.
