Ive been using the mazda 3 liftback for a year plus ady. The torsion beam hate is nonsense. The car is perfectly fine. I was a rear passenger and let a friend drive instead as i was too tired to drive from Manjung to KL. Slept like a log the entire journey back. I might be biased but who cares when the car looks this good and drives like a dream.
Been using Mazda 3 liftback for 1year+ already. So far so good. I like that Mazda3 has memory seat & memory side mirror, heads up display, and sunroof. Memory seat and side mirror is very useful is you always share your car with spouse
@@gin.6770 after 3 to 4 years common problem faced by other car members: air cond compressor, engine mounting, suspension and steering noise and side mirror motor issue which warranty can solve. So far i am into year 3 so no issues apart from battery change twice.
I bought this car last year in October and I must say I am absolutely happy with it. It is literally the best value for money sedan that feels quite sporty and still comfortable. Yes the ride is a bit on the firmer side of things, but the genuine leather seats make it still comfortable. Mine is thankfully a manual and I think as a manual it shifts better and has a better fuel economy. I don't understand why Mazda Malaysia isn't offering a manual since it's really a driver's car and the best pick if you want to have a great car to drive but can only have one car.
Haven't had any issues with the torsion beam. Mazda has perfected this in a way without even knowing it has one. I like the sedan much better than the hatchback. Less blind spots too.
6:40 To add one more thing Another reason car manufacturers take exhaust out of the back of their engines is to maintain catalyst temperature By maintaining catalyst temperature It maximizes the efficiency of exhaust gas treatment
I have this car in soul crystal red, 2.5L version. Best car ive ever owned, it carves corners so good and the power is very adequate. The 2.5L Turbo version must be even more fun to drive, I do wish I had that version lol
Different strokes for different folks. This means you will not consider a Mercedes GLC, Porsche Macan, or a Range Rover Velar based on comparison price with a X70, right? If everybody bought a car based just on price......
@@YSKhongDriving there is, infact other region sell the 2 liter as the base variant whereas the 2.5 liter NA and 2.5 liter turbo as their model topping range.
I have both Subaru XV and this Mazda3 sedan, somehow in corners i feel xv feels better and less body roll even it's a suv. Saw your video uncle driving xv up genting and you are having fun as well. Let me know your comparison Uncle YS
Uncle YS big fan of your work! We have a mazda 3 dynamic 2021 model hatchback. Which tyres would you recommend between Bridgestone and Goodyear considering that It our daily drive.
You must be from Singapore. Only Singapore hv the hybrid 1.5. In SG, we always spot only M3 sedan on the road as the hatchback only available in Astina but the price is crazy.
This car is really just good for the driver. The other seats aren't comfortable at all, especially on city roads & feels crashy on bad pavements. The ride quality isn't as balanced & plush compared to the Civic’s multilink & Corolla’s double wishbone. Current 3 setup is not as good as multi-link, but it's impressive for torsion beam provided the road is smooth. Long distance travel is one hell of a ride for the rear passenger and it’s even worse if you’re tall. Plus, I know a 3 Mazda 3 owners who start having mounting issues. It's a big letdown, especially since it's imported from Japan. Also it’s way too overpriced, bermaz is too greedy for this.
Few years back, yes mazda car is hard to ignored. The design is beautiful. But, until today, not much changes. Mazda is too stingy & arrogant. With many EV & PHEV coming to malaysia, lots of choice for a car under 150k. Next year the competition will be more crazy. Sorry to say, bye bye mazda.
Yes Mazda is very conservative as they only target customer who truly appreciate real drivers car. There is absolute no soul with EV cars, it is like a smartwatch with no mechanical watch movement. Well this could be their down fall but to me I respected their believe. EV is not the future but hybrid HEV car is..
@@alexis2power281 That’s right! Unfortunately, most people think like this NPC character. I hope it won’t be their downfall, but we’ll see, time will tell. I would love a new Mazda 6 with the engine from the CX-60 😢
i agree mazda is a drivers car. we should be thankful there is an affordable manufacturer that actually cares what a car drivers like,a ev might as well be a soulless kia. i agree it might not be enough to attract mainstream attention so they either have no choice but to go up market or dumb the product down, however at the moment they represent a tremendous value with quite well thought out interior and driving dynamics that outclass some cars that cost 10k more.
Yes and no to me, I fall in love to M3 lift back 5 years ago, couldn't afford it so I bought cx3. This year I upgraded to M3 sedan snowflake white coz my kid getting bigger now, for small family, perfect size perfect car for me. The longer I own it, the better I felt while driving it for daily and highway. Indeed exterior look the best for lift back, sedan exterior is very special, it looks sexier to me the longer I own it, both during daytime sunlight and night time.
@@alexis2power281 yeah.. MX5 is another good one, but I won't really compare them, different type of car. But if only can get one and don't mind old car and only sit 2 persons, I would take MX5. It's fun, you get to enjoy convertible as well and certainly it won't depreciate much.
For the price they are charging, if you want a stable executive car, get Altis. If you want zoom zoom and overall a way better car, get Civic. If you want more comfort, then SUV. Mazda is really using outdated pricing for what they offer.

Funny thing about Mazda owners - once they own a Mazda, they tend to fall in love with it

2 year sedan owner. Never regret. Torsion beam? Doesnt feel like one. Loving every moment driving.
I am thinking of getting myself a Mazda3 too. Any issue or problem you have with the car so far?

torsion beam is a big deal for me as a current mazda 3 user , but as a daily driver , its fine for a long journey
I agree with Uncle YS, the car power and body gives a Zoom, zoom experience
Nice for the seat, steering and brake pedal to be aligned.
What is the reason that many car models deviate from designing cars like that?
Donno, but Mazda make it a point
Uncle Khong,when are you coming to South 🇿🇦Africa
Soon
this is ❤
Uncle Roger and Uncle Khong. Way cooler uncles than my real uncle.
Ini spek apa? High or high plus?
Mazda and civic which should I buy ？
Amy one that appeals to you more.
price of 2 Proton X70? I can't justify it.
although i love the look.

If everybody bought a car based just on price......
Mazda 2 3 & 6 cars should stay in production future all new models to come CX-10 CX-20 compact SUV's & CX-40 midsize SUV .
Mazda shud have bring in the 2 5 liter engine for the 3
Is there one? Would be a bit of an overkill
@@YSKhongDriving there is, infact other region sell the 2 liter as the base variant whereas the 2.5 liter NA and 2.5 liter turbo as their model topping range.
Knowing Malaysia market, there’s no way Mazda MY will bring the 2.5L version 😂.

Uncle, no factory subwoofer anymore for this car?

For daily drive just fit what is recommended. Should be good enough.
Very good car but can nvr be treated seriously without a CKD version
I used to drive honda civic 1.6a 2006. Now I'm drive 2019 mazda 3 sedan mild hybird 1.5. 😊

@@wellsinlee5123 you probably have your preference, but for me, Mazda 3 hatchback anyday sorry XD. If want more space, I would get another car.
@@terencetcfwould you consider the MX5 Roadster bro?
@@alexis2power281 yeah.. MX5 is another good one, but I won't really compare them, different type of car. But if only can get one and don't mind old car and only sit 2 persons, I would take MX5. It's fun, you get to enjoy convertible as well and certainly it won't depreciate much.
first
At that prices but still using torsion beam. Lol mazda what a joke
For the price they are charging, if you want a stable executive car, get Altis. If you want zoom zoom and overall a way better car, get Civic. If you want more comfort, then SUV.
Mazda is really using outdated pricing for what they offer.
