Scotty, what scan tool do you suggest for the average Joe, is Bluedriver still an ok scan tool?
The car industry really can't take all these shocks, Scotty.
LMAO 😂😂😂
Instead of shocks Scotty, try "Surprises?"😊
He’s made millions with his formula. He ain’t gonna fix what ain’t broke.
@@oreally8605 "Mazda's new shocks will shock the shocks industry" LOL
More shocks than a Fox Racing factory ? LOL
That year model Mazda 3 2014 + come with indirect TPMS sensors, they use the same wheel speed sensor that the ABS system uses to count the rotation of all the tires and flag a tire that is spinning at an abnormal rate compared to the others. It won't tell you what the tire pressure is but it will tell you there is an issue and is super reliable without ever needing to replace anything inside the tire or replace a battery. I have a Mazda 6 and cx 5 with the same system. Most Mazdas to my understanding have a TMPS reset button on the left side of the steering wheel to recalibrate the sensor after the light goes off, you don't need a scan tool to reset it.
Edit. 2014-2018 ish mazdas use indirect tpms. Looks like they went back to direct in wheel sensors for the later models but the one in the video has the indirect system.
Thanks for setting the record straight. I have a similar car ... 2015 Mazda 3 2.0L with a 6-speed manual. Love it!!
My 2018 2.5 has it as well
The new Mazda's went back to traditional TPMS sensors. More things to break and more $ to fix and more complicated tire changes
@@Argedis 😞
If I had a dollar for every time the car industry gets shocked, I'd probably be rich. 😂
We are shocked, at the car prices!
Lol
What if you had a dollar for every Alfa Romeo Scotty spits?
You would have a pile of worthless scratch tickets.
Just got a 2018 Mazda3 that I love. There is a TPM Reset button that needs to be held whenever you fix the tire pressure.
I have/had 2 mazda3's....The oldest one was a 2008 2.0 i-sport... the only major problem I had with it was the transmission which just went out at 180k (6 weeks ago). I was the only owner bought brand new for long commute to work.... 45 miles one way in Houston traffic. The trans was a Ford transmission....engine was still going strong...looking for a new car at this time...The other one was a 2012 2.0 i-touring we bought from our neighbor for my oldest son.... currently has 137k no issues still at this time....purchased it 6 year ago from my neighbor!!! great cars!!!
Just picked up a 2023 CX-5 2.5 L non turbo awd. I’m required to be at work on those 10inch plus snow days. Fit and finish is excellent and to drive. Love seeing that vin start with a J. Hoping I’ll be driving in 10 plus years from now well into the 200k mile club.Our town and county lasted 185,000 before the transmission went out and the Mazda has to be better than that.
You get over 300,000 with the cx 5
A Chrysler T & C with 185,000 miles -for a Chrysler that is a good run.
What yr Town and Country Minivan???
My daughter just bought a cx30.It’s a small AWD suv.Great mileage,reasonably priced,very nice looking.Who says you can’t get a nice car for a good price
Watching this while sitting in my 2017 mazda6 and can confirm great cars
We had a 2012 Mazda 3 2.0 skyactive. It had 212,000 miles on it when we gave it to our daughter. She’s still driving it and it gets 35mpg religiously. We now have a 2021 Mazda 3 with the 2.5 turbo. No issues so far.
Lord protect this man.
"we'll take this crazy crap, throw it out of the way!" best quote in the video...
Unless Mazda changed their TPMS system or you get a “more advanced system” in the USA than here in UK. They don’t use pressure sensors in the tyres, they use wheel speed sensing instead. I’ve had these trigger when rotating the tyres even though the pressures were the same, maybe due to tread depth/rolling radius differences. Simple reset sorts.
I got a 2024 Mazda 3 and it’s insane how great they are and nobody knows. They’re up there with Honda and Toyota in reliability and the interior is basically border line luxury car style like Lexus and Acura it’s insane
Where does Scotty find these used cars and reasonable prices? Used car prices are insane up here in Toronto, Canada. Can I buy one from Scotty?
I’m a big Toyota fan, I’ve had 6 since 2006. My current super white 14 Tacoma paint has been failing since 2018 and I’m pissed that toyota won’t stand behind it even though they will if it’s a Camry or Corolla with the same paint! These 3 that I have now may be the last!
I definitely gotta agree with you entirely on this one. I haven't exactly gotten to try the newer Mazdas, but from personal experience, the old Mazda BP 1.8 liter DOHC engine used in the Miata is pretty much bulletproof, and my 97 Sephia with the same engine still runs till this day. Those old BP engines are quite bulletproof, and can run for a very long time. Half a million miles wouldn't surprise me. I'd have to say that a Miata could pretty much run forever if you take care of it and don't rag the hell out of it.
How do the Mazda 3’s hold up compared to a 6 from the same mid 2010s era? Especially the 2.0?
The 6 is made in Japan while other cars including the 3 & maybe Cx5 were made in Meheeco, if I remember correctly. Who’s historically known for top notch quality and who’s known as the primary outsourcer if/when China’s too far of a boat ride?
As Scotty said he wants the car without a turbo charger, to last long. And indeed with manual transmission, too.
Mazda is right up there with Honda/ Toyota within the last 10 years or so. They are the top 3.
In reliability and value absolutely
My nephew's cx 5 had 360,000 km and only normal maintenance. Meanwhile my sister 2011 crv has 100,000 and AC is gone. The mechanic said difficult to fix
The industry has been shocked for the 4th time this week
Only ones shocked are the consumer with the prices
not to mention mad as ****
I also have a 2016 Mazda3 hatchback in "soul red" with 6 speed manual. Love it, but sometimes wish it had more power. But like Scotty says, with more power comes worse gas mileage. I average 32 mpg so I'm pretty happy. Very reliable!
In New Zealand, they also have the Mazda 6 ,a slightly larger vehicle with I think a 2.5 litre engine,
Power for what? lol
@@RedMango55Basically a lot of people love racing cars like these for somewhat of a status symbol. To me that’s what I think. Not saying the OP is like that, hell the op probably really drives it responsibly if they’re averaging 32 miles . Maybe just to go 0-60 faster.
How I miss my 1969 Dodge Charger 😢 The guys at work used to tease me and tell me it looked like a green battleship coming back from a war. How I miss that car😢
Best looking car EVER! Miss my Chargers too!
My wife loves Mazdas, she has a '18 CX-5 pushing 90k miles, and I drive her "old" '07 CX-9 with 220k miles! They're great cars, I just drove the "9" from Mobile to B'ham and back and got 23mpg!
Hey Scotty I will buy Toyota from now on. .no more junk kias and Lincoln's !!!
Best mechanic on youtube, makes me want to drive to Rhode Island to have my car checked over.
I bought a 2021 mazda 3 brand new. Within a year it was completely falling apart. Needed a transmission, new wheels,tires ;it was a POS ill never buy another Mazda anything. Maybe mine was a one off but it was an expensive mistake on my part. Oh and there warranty 😂 they always found some way to it out of fixing it.
this video made me feel great about my 2016 Mazda 3 2.0. I love it. I've had it about 2 years now. moved across the country from Utah to Florida with it. it's been extremely reliable, all I've needed is new tires recently, and I am due up for some new brake pads, but the car is fantastic so far. driving 300+ miles a week for work commute great mileage and the grand touring upgrades make it feel even higher quality. only negative is the road noise..
In 2016, Mazda CARs were wonderful. I had 2 Mazda 6 Sedans. They claim that the Mazda 3 was even better! Tines have changed, and Mazda dumped their wonderful cars for crappy SUVs!
I would love to see Scotty review the 2016+ Scion/Toyota iA. It's a rebadged Mazda 2 that gets great mpg. Wondering about it's long term reliability.
Factory spec for tire pressures should be 36psi all the way around.
I get combined 32 with my 21 cx30 NA
I've had a 1989 Mazda 323SE 5 spd manual trans since 1998. A 2007 Mazda 3 2.0L with a 5 spd manual trans, 2008-2019. And currently a 2018 (bought in 2019) 2.0 Mazda 3 sedan. And a 2012 5.7L Tundra. Way before Scotty even had a youtube channel.
Good for you. You know how to pick em.
I thought the TPM system in these cars were calculated off of ABS sensors and not valve stem sensors. But what do I know.
He's definitely getting a lot more than 31 mpg. I get that with my 2015 AWD cx5 with the 2.5 lol
I get over 60MPG at a steady 64mph on a hot day!
Yeah the average for the 3 is about 35-37 MPG.
Come on Scotty, you going to shock the heck out of the car industry 😅
Good. A lot of junk out there and they need to go out of business.
I would own a Mazda but the only thing is I would rather have one with a manual transmission. Some of the automatics in Mazdas were good and some weren't. Their manual transmissions would generally hold up for a long time, unless the owner's teenage son was driving the car and constantly doing burnouts to show off in front of their friends.
Emergency brake is electronic on 2017 and 2018 Mazda3s..
I have the same year in a Mazda 6 with 2.5L non turbo at almost 58k miles now and it's been nothing but a beaut to drive around. I put 11k miles on it in 5 months!
I have a 2017. A beauty to drive!
I see Mazdas everywhere now and I love it. Not a coincidence that they're relatively more reliable since Ford owned less of the company!
RIP Betty our 08 MZ3.
Currently own 15 MZ3 + 15 CX5. Only Mazdas 4e. And don't forget kids: zoom zoom is different from vroom vroom
I rented one it had drink gas ⛽️ twice a week to gas up . Was going highway to work and back home 23 miles a day .
That Alfa spotting!😊
I've got a 2007 Mazda 3. It's pretty much rusted-out. They all rust out especially in the Midwest
If I was gonna buy a new commuter car I’d probably get a Mazda. Nice interiors, reliable, fun to drive, and they look great imo
Made in Japan!
Mazda not as good as Honda or Toyota , better than any American or korea car tho
Did I hear you correctly change the engine oil every 5000 miles??
Is it different for the Mazda engines? I change my oil every 3000 miles or 5000 km
used to be 3k miles, with modern engine manufacturing and modern oils you can go 5000 miles between oil changes unless operating under severe conditions.
The 1st gen Mazda 3's are great cars! Nothing "ugly " about them.
I just bought a Mazda 6 2015 with only 40k miles on it, I get 42.8 mpg going 75 on cruise control. I paid 21k for it like 2 weeks ago
Cool. Do you like it
@Tcbro No regrets on the car if that's what you're asking. Handling feels good. The only issue is that the inside of the car can be a little too loud depending on the road surface, but there are ways to fix that
@@skriichi ok
Scotty I'm a subscriber & you are great for us consumer's thank you
I'm in the market for a affordable Used Lexus RX 350 what years do you recommend? I think one time you talked quite about a 2015?
Please Help
AL
Bought a 2015 Mazda3 6sp manual. Before it got to 110k it developed a gas leak. Dealer dicked me around for over 2 months and wouldn't contact Mazda with an open recall on specific vehicles for gas leaks. $3k later I finally get my car. Just yesterday I bought OEM brake pads, paying over $300!!! Just for the pads!!
First Mazda and it will be my last.
Life long owner of Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus. None cost me that much in repairs ... Ever I keep most of them well past 200k miles also.
There's a reason they're cheaper. Oh, and have fun finding a full scale Mazda Dealer. The nearest one shares a small corner of a Ford Dealer with limited storage for parts, nearly everything must be ordered and only two mechanics so it takes days of not weeks to get any work done.
Probably the fuel pump leak with the lock ring rusted. My 3 came with a 30 day warranty and they're replacing it free! And I get one of their loaners. I'll throw some fluid film at it once repaired.
I like the car and I came from a Ford. So this is an upgrade overall.
@@jasonashley9853 actually it's wasn't the pump. It was external though I wasn't able to confirm exactly where the leak originated from because they conveniently disposed off the tank and parts and the was no point of pursuing the matter.
@@ih8thishandle hmm. Interesting. Well. Most manufacturers are making weak fuel systems these days. My Focus had one leak, a friend and I fixed it, then it had another leak.
needs to vacuum the engine out . or s fire hazard.. and put in rodent detection
been a mazda buyer since the early 1990s, and all are/were amazing. turned the first 5 over with over 250k miles. currently own 3 mazdas (2002 tribute 187k manual, 2018 6 isport 27k manual, 2020 cx-5 68k automagic) and expect nothing but the same from each of them. of the 8 I've owned, 6 are manual transmission, 2 automagic and all have performed exemplary.....
We just bought a Mazda CX-5 and it is better SUV than Rav4 with $10.000 or more less . Good job Scotty .
2.0L gét 28-30mpg isn't high efficiency. My car v6 3.5l reaches that milage.
28-30 is city for this car. Official EPA rating is 30 city, 40 highway. Scotty is downplaying it. I'm averaging 36.5 MPG in mine.
I just knew it's gonna be Mazda
2006 : OMG take it off my hand for $2000
2020+: I know what I got dont @ me if youre not willing to pay $25,000
Vehicle: anything from 2002-2012
Also 2020+ : Dealer markups from $10,000 to $100,000 over MSRP
He is talking about Mazda, but in the headline it says Toyota.. I am confused.
How can a battery lasts 6-7 years ? , in the middle east you’re considered lucky to have a battery that lasts more than 2 years
I had a 1994 Mazda Protege' that was a dream to drive and got a measured 54 mpg!!! WOW! Unfortunately, the transmission cooling lines ran straight through the lower tank of the radiator. They rusted through and the two fluids mixed which nuked the tranny. At the time, it was only a $500 car so, it went to the bone yard. I should have just put another transmission into it but, I didn't have the time or facilities. What a loss.
Now, I drive Toyota Camrys which are from 2000 or earlier. I will never buy anything newer! The older cars are definitely better and last longer.
By the way Scotty, that stupid display screen is right in the middle of the field of view! I would never buy anything with that piece of junk located in that position! That is bad and dangerous engineering which is all that we get in the world of today. You can keep that Mazdump and all of the newer cars! That goes double to ALL trucks made today, TOYOTA INCLUDED!!!
The older Mazda 3s had a really fragile rear mount for the shock absorbers. I wonder if they are still the same.
I just got also the same car but in manual transmission recently.
And the best part? You can still find these with a stick!
The screen went wonky with low miles! No thanks Scotty 😂
Mazda has always been good. Underrated, but good.
Great car but after test driving dozens including Mazda, Toyota and Honda went for the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Limited. Traded in a Forester and Corolla. Best choice for us.
The best thing of all is that Mazda has nothing to do with Ford!n😂
I’m a Toyota guy, but I’ve owned 2 Mazdas. Both were great little cars. One was flooded out (2010 Mazda5), here in Houston and the other (2014 Mazda 3) was T-boned.
So your a mix it up guy
I’ve had 2 Hyundai cars both of which were t-boned. I also had one that was hot wired and stolen by a fan of TikTok.
What about the 2023 Mazda 3?
Just bought a used Avalon. My fam grew up with used Toyotas
@@glennso47 I’ve looked at them and I like them. I don’t know much about them, but I’d assume that they’re better than the 2014 I had.
I prefer a larger trunk with a real spare.
What is the best new suv for 2023
hate to tell you the ford, mazda trucks are reliable.i see older ford rangers all the time.don't see that in chevy s-10.
I got a 1985 S10 that still runs like a top but it’s Isuzu powered from the factory🤔
I have a 2020 Mazda6 with the 2.5T and 34,000 miles I’ve had for about 6 months now. Although I have really driven it hard a couple of times to see what it can do, I drive it pretty normally. It is just a well built, great running vehicle and at the time it was 4000 less than a Camry with the same mileage.
I’m between the Mazda6, Accord, and Camry!! They’re all great but Mazda is so fairly priced 😂😂
@@Destiny-nz5yg I looked at a Camry as well, about the same year. (2020ish) For the money, the Mazda6 was the better deal. It’s a Grand Touring Reserve and with all the features, it was a better deal then the Camry. To get the same features and mileage in a Camry it would have cost me an extra $4000-5000.
The Mazda TPMS doesn't uses battery powered sensors ... the sensor is in the hub and measures tire/wheel rotation.
Yup always just needs a manual reset when triggered after a fix, no big deal
@@SamLoki And that button is right there on the left ... no need to reset with a scan tool.
I was wrong. I had you having Honda shocking the industry today.
I have the mazda cx-30. Fun little car. So far 2 years and no issues. I will see how it holds up long term. I got a great deal on it $29k out the door can't complain.
That engine sounds bad though.
Wait another week and scott will tell you never to buy a mazda.
Somebody get this man some air
Or a drink of vodka
30 mpg on Mazda3? That sucks. My 2005 Civic gets 40 on the highway. Engine/tranny all untouched. 150k miles.
I only buy Toyota and Honda. No, wait, don't buy Toyota, buy Mazda. No, wait...😂
Hi Scotty!
There is more than one viewer .. by default ,more than one engine . Who thinks the saying should be ",,Rev up your EngineS ( plural) "???
I have a 2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve in Soul Red Crystal. The turbo engine is a lot of fun and the car looks beautiful in red. Only bad thing is that the paint chips and scratchs easy and is hard to repair
My wife and her sister both had Mazda's = junk! Toyota's are much better in the long run. You get what you pay for!
Who in his right mind would buy anything brand new when theres tons of used cars available.
Let them sit and rot at their lots.
After a year of no one buying come and tell me about the prices😂😂😂😂
Three months ago you did a video called: this is why I only buy Toyotas and Lexus. What changed in 3 months?
The rodents like it.
My 22 Corolla gets 38-42 mpg in the Tennessee mountains with the a/c on. Nice try though.
Mazda CX-5 2015 Gt awd has been fun
I want one of these but it has to have a J on the vin, no Mexican for me.
I think.just the opposite, the red one is ugly as far as body lines. The tan one could use a better color but is a nice conservative body style.
My 2006 mazda mx-5 is still going strong 💪
Shock shock shock 😂
Some time I believe you don’t know a dam thing at 150 a hour your not helping anyone!
so what, don't buy mazda bc the repair costs are a high $ of msrp, or not? flip flop too much
The newer ones have a gorgeous red color that sparkles in the sun. I'm not a big red guy (prefer blue), but Mazda has the best red paint out there.
Soul red.
Soul red crystal sounds like an anime attack.
Anyway, I hope they develop similar shiny paint for black, white, green, blue, yellow, and orange. Maybe even pink.
Its pouring in Chicago..Hi Scotty ✌️
Show has been stale since he left Texas
The gas from my body is more fuel efficient
Mazdas rust really slow.
HEY SCOTTY.. I HEARD THE CEO OF TOYOTA SAY THAT THEY ARE BRINGING BACK THE TOYOTA CELLICA.... THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
Mazda’s are trash. I’m very disappointed in you Scotty.
