  • The new Mazda3 is not cheap, with prices starting from RM140k, and that money gets you only a 1.5. Is it actually worth the money? Can the 1.5 engine actually give satisfactory performance?

    Mazda 3 2L is RM150,000. Take an average person on RM3,000/month, 50 months pay.
    Base model Mazda 3 2L is A$28,888. Minimum wage earners need 45 months (A$635/m) to pay off the car. Both cars are imported. Someone is keeping the change!

    Managed to drive a 2.0L hatch and 1.5L sedan barely 3hr in between, my thoughts
    - torsion beam noticeability gets off balanced in uneven corners but good tuning allows great point-and-shoot feel
    - sound insulation is greatly improved over it's predecessor but the back felt unsettled over road imperfections
    - 1.5L is frankly fine in city traffic (holds the gear longer before upshift and drops quickly when floored) but needs more oomph to accelerate after dropping 1 or 2 gears at cruising speeds. Engine note is loud but sounds better than one in an Altis or Elantra/Forte under load
    - 1.5L has very obvious missing features even for a C-segment let alone against the 2.0L
    In short the 1.5L reminds me of a used 1.5L Suzuki Swift: a driver centric chassis, mated to a drivetrain enough to see you thru everyday traffic but reminds you that the better Sport sibling is only an arms length away.

    Simply said, the gearbox is properly tuned to compensate for the 1.5L engine's lack of power at highway speeds. Can I safely assume that if you drive this 1.5-litre Mazda 3 in city and country roads, it will feel more satisfying?

      Mazda engines are generally quite fuel efficient in the real world, but in the case of the Mazda3 1.5, I won't be surprised if FC is on the high side as the small engine is made to work harder pulling that large body

  • @vinp5869
    @vinp5869 4 роки тому +2

    Personally I will feel this 1.5(same engine with previous model) is under power because Im the owner of 3rd gen 2.0L(ron97 all the time),, For new car. yes! you will feel it power because new car maa,, but after awhile(few months later) u will agree what I mean,, carbon!!!
    Based on weight the new model is heavier than previous gen which is (1,361 kg vs 1,292 kg for both sedan variant)

    • @KonWaiLuen
      @KonWaiLuen  4 роки тому +1

      You have a point. Wear and tear is something we cant account for in a 3-day review. But I do believe there is some clever work done on the transmission to better leverage the engine's outputs.

    • @kkcsteven

      I own the last of the highest trim outgoing model with 2.5L in AU, frankly this is the ideal for both city and motorway driving. You know there is always ample power when it's needed. The OZs even complained about those with 2.0L not having enough power for both the outgoing and new.
