No Turbo = no problems. No CVT, thank you Mazda!
Mazda is doing every single thing right in every field in very aspect, its just right! I want one and makes wanna be a loyal costumer
How’s the warranty how many years? And do the compare to Toyota or Honda for durable and reliable
@@rickferr1546 Go to "Consumer Reports", the annual April car edition. Check out the car with the best frequency of repair record over the past few years. I'll save you the trouble. It's Mazda.
@@steelheart4148 what does that mean ?
@@diegogonzalez9086 me too! I’m on my 5th Mazda !
Mazda is such an underrated brand
@Capsized Cloud yea they can't pull any bullshit and get away with it
hello again brendan
you are SO VERY wrong ....not in #MAZDA land ..... flawless even in compct sizes ...ua-cam.com/video/fW1HUkdcg5E/v-deo.html
@Twilight 8368 their cars are very reliable and have good fuel economy. In the latest consumer reports, mazda is ahead of even toyota in terms of reliability. Toyota is second at the list. The cars have good prices also with premium features you get in luxury cars. They dont cost an arm and a leg to maintain like a BMW.
@@arshaq4471 yes
I saw one in person. It's really a headturner in a road full of Civics and Corollas.
I drive a 2015 mazda6 and that turns heads still to this day!
I don't see how anyone else could get a honda civic or toyota corolla when you can get the mazda 3 which is so much better
Actually it's not. The materials it is made from are of extremely low quality. Even the seat frame is made from low grade pot metal.
Does that even matter? It's an economy class sedan....it's never going to experience any significant G-force unless it's in a severe crash, and even then 'pot metal' is still more than structurally sound enough. It doesn't need to have high grade metal in that space. That's how Mazda affords to make this car so much nicer in all the other ways, they're cutting the costs by using 'just good enough' materials in places where it's not as important so they can put that back into the bits you actually care about.
Reliable is the one and only thing Mazda lacks.
111915 528518 yes but it’s just as reliable as the current gen civic with the oil dilution issues Scotty won’t tell u that tho
Reasons to get a civic or a corolla are fuel economy, rear space, price, resale value just to name a few. On the other hand, the mazda3 is a stunning car.,
This car is stunning and I loved your review! I got a 2015 Mazda 3 just under 2 years ago, and now I want to trade it in for this 2020 version it is just gorgeous 😭
naturally aspirated and a traditional 6spd auto; if it aint broke DONT FIX IT!!! NICE RIDE!!!
My hubby brought a 9 year old Mazda, and we love this car. It has zoom zoom, and great features in the interior. I don't know much about the stats, but it has great pick up and we have moved furniture in the back hatch. It took my hubby 1 year to find this Mazda, it is a 2nd car for us, but we find ourselves using this 98% of the time. Very happy, next car we buy will be a Mazda. Love it.
Mine is blue midnight with light interior 😍, I full the tank with 20bucks
I love the 2020 Mazda 3 it’s very sporty and sexy!!! It’s a great price too! Mazda makes good cars! My brother use to have a Mazda 626 back in the day!!!
I love how positive and enthusiastic you are for all the cars that are reviewed here.
Stunningly beautiful for a mainstream brand. Lovely car specially the interior.🏎 🏎 👍 👍
it is indeed a fantastic car! Drives sooooo well, the steering wheel feels so good, it's a "luxurious" cheap sedan! love it!
I’ve been looking for cheaper cars with a premium feel. I looked at the Hyundai Sonata and it’s almost $30k for the version I’d prefer. I then looked at Kia fortes and Optimas they both have cheap things I didn’t like. Honda’s are nice and cheap in certain aspects. I didn’t want a crazy fast car but I want one that certainly looks nice and is enjoyable to drive either because of speed or comfort or both even. Then I remembered the Mazda commercials I’ve seen about their beautifully engineered designs and I saw the Mazda 3 and I’m
Hooked.
Did you get it?
@@jeeperz4365 i haven’t gotten a new vehicle yet. I was going to and then I totaled my current car at the time and I couldn’t afford a newer vehicle so I’m stuck for now with a 2010 forester. But I think my next vehicle is going to be a 2021 Camry or a Tacoma.
@@LiteralSparkPlug Camry is nice if not a little boring tho. I owned one. And I was in a crash and it was totaled. I did lease a new Mazda and I love it!
I got a 2019 Mazda 3 preferred. If you’re thinking about getting 1 do it you’ll fall in love. And the thing is actually pretty quick
how is it so far? i really wanted a manual one so badly.
How's the rear seat room?
@@thundergato84 too tight for 3 adults but great for 3 kids or 2 teenagers and 1 kid
@@thundergato84 get a Mazda 6 if you need more room for 3 adults to be comfortable
Any updates? How’s the ride quality holding up
This is really going to be my first car. I'm so here for this
I have the 2015 S Touring and I can't believe how much Mazda has improved from then to now.
Wow are you a model?
Howdy, great review as always!😸😻😸
I like this interior. Huge step up from my dads 2013 Mazda3.
I like this car, sedan and hatch .. thanks guys 👍
104k subs! Good work boys!
😁😁
Beautiful and a nice ride, I test drove it. 12 speakers? Wow. Wish more cars came with AWD or a bit better ground clearance for snowy conditions. Odd the CX5 touring trim doesn't offer a digital speedometer. Crazy spot for cupholders if in park right?
I was wondering about these cup holders being forward on this Mazda 3. I have the CX-5 myself, a 2021
Thank you guys for this review! I live in Ecuador, but I always watch your reviews (Especially the Audi, VWs) but I am really really waiting the Mazda 3 to arrive to my city to get one (even though I've always been a VW owner). Keep the good work!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear from people all over the world enjoying our videos! 😁
The hatchback looks better in person as the camera adds 20 pounds. 😜
Still got my 2008 and I love it Mazda is#1
I have a Mazda 3 g20 2019 I really love it
I love my 2017 soul red Mazda 3 sedan 😍
I love this car, but love the hatch more. The 🥚 shape of it strongly evokes the original GLC-one of Mazda’s absolute most reliable cars ever sold in the US. I’ve been hearing some about Skyactiv D (diesel) coming soon, for the 6 and one of the SUV’s. Really excited about that. Mazda should offer gas 2.0, 2.5, 2.5 Turbo, 2.2 turbodiesel, awd, and a manual in every single vehicle they make. The parts are already available. If there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s the sound effect when you push engine start. Three or four “blung” sounds is adequate. 8 is a bit much, and some might say it could have been a more pleasing note. Thanks as always for another great review.
That's a lot of variants to ship but anyways the beeping volume is adjustable and it is because the driver doesn't have their seatbelt on. It will beep ten times and stop. If you buckle before it finishes ten beeps then it will stop. If you buckle your seat belt before you turn on the car it won't beep at all.
9:48 thought you were going to spit some bars on that beat!
Great Review it’s a pretty nice First Car.
It’s a nice car whether first or 20th.
I have the 2016 Mazda 3 iSport model, which I believe is the middle model. It came with the moonroof. Now, you can only get the moonroof on the premium package model, which is sort of a bummer because most of the premium package bells and whistles are things I'm not really interested in. I live in San Diego county and a moonroof in nice to have here, so I now have to buy the high end model to get that where I didn't have to before.
Good review. I actually like the styling of the hatch. Many don't.
i don't
I like it. It's a nice vehicle in either sedan or hatch.
@@michelhaineault6654 ye
The hatchback is fugly lol
@@Daniel-rw2gy ye
Mazda 3 is best compact car for me.
Please bring the Skyactiv X to the United States.
When is the Skyactiv X engine coming to Mazda?
How about those latest quality stats, Mazda number 2 baby!
I think the sedan is the clear "looker" of the bunch. To me, the rear of the hatch looks like a modern version of the AMC Pacer .... (ouch..)
Do Toyota Sequoia review please
2,334th view, 111th like, 29th comment, with 2 dislikes!
Gorgeous vehicle Mazda!!
They need to include this redesigned interior and new infotainment system on all Mazdas for the 2020 model year. It's a shame they didnt!
Aytug Demir For real! The CX-5 would be perfect with a new infotainment system 🙄
That requires lots of engineering and more planning and money.
Luckily my 2021 has the new infotainment system
I own a 2018 Nissan Sentra . I definitely think this would be a great step up in performance and a more premium look . I was never into the exotic looking cars but I love the cars that give a date night look as well as a road trip and go for a night ride kinda look too .
In the exact same boat, have you had any problems with you Sentra so far? Mine only has about 40k miles but I’m a little nervous for the future.
You can turn on rear guidance in the setting but is weird you can even turn it off. I know cause I have one
Definitely a Toyota and Honda killer without the lousy CVT’s
Did the cup holder cover get removed for 2020? I saw it on the 2019. I can’t find it on my 2020 and was wondering if it was missing
No cup holder cover on any Mazda 3 from the last couple generations.
Mazda has a European design flair, very enticing!
Just sat in a Mazda3 at the dealership today.
What they give you for the price is amazing.
Honda is declining nowasays too many complaints for honda civics here in the US mazda been good so far perhaps above toyota they offer premium features for an affordable price I really aprove this car
Mazda is winning in every category these days
Except in the USA we can't even get back air vents in them because Americans don't buy enough Mazda's
Can you get the heads up display on the preferred trim or is it only available on the premium trim?
Preferred
I’ll buy one when they finally get the Skyactiv X engine in the U.S.
Hmm interesting, did they remove the cupholder cover/lid for 2020?
You know, we initially thought the same thing, but then we checked some 2019 models and it was always that way
No CVT is so nice. Had a 2020 Corolla as a loaner for 3 days and wow did t drive like a low budget rental car. The CVT acceleration was bad and the handling just felt off. My 09 TC rides way better.
Mazda is one of the few brands I would even consider buying new from these days. I hope they get their sales mojo back, we need these guys in the game. Just hope they don't kill all the manuals.
Does the hatch have rear air vents? Also are the side mirrors auto dimming?
No just under seat ducts
no air vent for backseats is a huge entry level move...
no more heated steering ?
Dont know if I'm digging the infotainment screen
Shoot I’m short like 5 feet . I’m afraid those headrests will obscure my view when changing lanes .
Can anyone please tell what are the key differences between 2019 and 2020 versions. I am looking to buy a preferred version 2019 but now want to know if it's worth waiting to get the 2020 version.
Karan Nagar the 2020 models are already out for sale
Don't get either of them. Get something better.
I would never buy a car from a dealer who brands their cars with their company logo/name. Who do you think you are?
Lmao what?
Yea that paul miller badge lmao does not belong there. my first thought was this guy must think hes bigger than the brand!!
just bought a new 3 hatchback,made sure no dealer badging on the car itself, lic plate frames i can remove
What about the new shape of the steering wheel. The coating is of high quality, but the profile is not round (tubular) as before, and therefore is not comfortable in any position of the hand, but only in a specific position. It is a great pity that they abandoned the "universal" form that suits every driver and every position.
Mazda fabric excellent cars even though is a small company good quality and good reliable cars Buy one
Look very nice and a lot of standard features Nice Drew :-) :-)
Have they fixed the rusting issues on Mazda
But not keeping the normal 6 speed stick shift in sedan trim, they run the risk of loosing lots of their core customers IMO.
Not in the US they won’t. Not enough manual car drivers over here.
I have a 1st gen Mazda3 S manual that I'm looking to replace because of rust. Still runs perfectly. I'd love to have this in the sedan with the manual because the hatch just looks too awkward and has lousy visibility. But the manual option is gone in the sedan. I'm looking elsewhere. So, they've lost me!
The take rate on manuals is like 2%. So they aren’t “losing” but maybe 50 sales per year or less
My 2016 model Mazda 3's Infotainment console went on endless loop. Hard reboot did not work. Mazda dealership diagnosed it as a dead CMU (the brains of the console). Will cost $1300.00 to replace. They don't know when part will arrive. Last time my rear tail light cracked, it took 4 months to get the part. I wonder how long the CMU will take.
Hopefully not long
@@2004cyrus took about 1.5 months to get part. All is good.
It seems like the Mazda had to sneeze and made a longer nose I think that looks odd I think the noise is just a little too long we look at it from the side view you know what I mean
Glad they have awd but we want a new Mazda speed3 !
ahaha yes man, PREACH!
I believe you are wrong when you say the hatch have a bigger booth.. the opening it self are bigger. But litter wise the sedan have more space :3
Ive heard a lot of complaints about rattles in the dash and the passenger seat belt column. Is that correct because I've got 2021 mazda 3 on order for August.
We didn't notice any rattles in any of our test units over the last 2 years
@@CarConfections thankyou. Good to hear. Apparently it takes more than a few kilometres, however many that is. My little yaris is 14years old and still quiet as a mouse. Might be just lucky.
Can you tell me what kind of price you paid ? Trying to figure out what is reasonable to pay for a new 2021 Mazda 3.
I live in QLD Australia. I made the order in May and I've been told by mazda that it won't arrive until early November. At first they said middle of August. Perhaps things have changed since covid for some reason. The making of cars and shipping from Japan. A bit over 36000, but that includes paint and upholstery protection which cost 1700 dollars. So a bit over 34000 for the g25 evolve sedan. The same car is much cheaper in America but I think they are made in Mexico. When you buy Japanese, you want it to be made by Japanese. Either way they are the best in their class. Good luck.
thinking of getting this or corolla xse. mazda3 specs looks really nice but reliability is a concern.
joblagz the Mazda is very reliable
Reliable is mazda
I’ve had 5 Mazdas and my family drives them for 25-30 years. None of them have reliability issues or we would not keep buying them. You won’t have any problems and Toyota has those yucky CVT’s
is this gs?
Is the Mazda 3 going to be completely redone in 2021?
No
What’s the insurance on this car like ..?
OK, Car Confections, I have a choice in front of me: 2020 Nissan Sentra SR Premium, or 2021 Mazda 3 Select Sedan?
Both great choices! Personally, we would choose the Mazda because of its amazing driving dynamics
@@CarConfections Yeah, that’s what I ended up going with. In the end, it was the additional horsepower & traditional transmission that edged me over into the Mazda. I still love the Sentra, though. If they continue on this path, maybe, once this lease is done, I can consider a Sentra next time around. Thank you for the response! Confirmed my choice. 👍🏽
@@OrdinaryG33K-SF I also am looking at both cars. I love the orange and black roof Sentra. But with only 147 horses and CVT i think im siding with the 3. This car is elegant but the Sentra is sharp! Unfortunately just show no go!
@@wilchambers1401 If I may suggest, go with the Premium trim on the Mazda3. I have the Select, and while it is generally fine, I wish I'd taken on the slightly higher payment for the Bose sound system, the sunroof, and the front parking sensor. These things are worth having, in my opinion. Oh, and be aware that the infotainment screen in the Mazda3 is non-touch. It can only be controlled via the knob/buttons in the center column, but you'll get used to that quickly.
One more thing on the Mazda3: Be aware that you're not going to get 2 fully-grown adults in the back seat. You MIGHT get 1, if they're seated behind the passenger seat. But my driver's seat is all the way back, and no one could really sit behind me. I pretty much consider my Mazda3 to be a 2-seater, which is fine for me because it's just me in the car, alone, most of the time. But if you have to haul HUMANS (more than one other, in the passenger seat), it's not really going to happen in the Mazda3. For more back seat space, you might want to stick with the Sentra, or consider the Honda Civic. You can get more horsepower than the Sentra with the Civic. The Touring trim on that will give you all the bells & whistles.
As a long time Mazda fan, only the top spec 2.5-litre AWD version of this car makes sense. Preferably in a manual, unless you live in a very crowded and huge city. Families should avoid the hatchback, and go for the sedan - or even better, the CX-30 and preferably the CX-5. Or wait around for the CX-50 😸👍
You sacrifice only a little handling for practicality, with Mazda crossover SUVs. With the CX-30, you get a better view and slightly more comfortable seating, ease(ier) of ingress/egress, and the back seating area is brighter and less claustrophobic - you loose those blindspots. Crossover SUVs also hold their value better when the dreaded time to let them go or trade them in comes. On the the diesels, they are only worth it if you do a lot of highway driving.
Also, the rear suspension is not as simple as you think - read up on it. This new gen has a lot of work put into it, and the cabin is a very comfortable, quiet and nice place to be in. Seriously, even Mercedes & BMW owners/fans I know, are impressed and might start moving over, cause they see the value. Power/torque figures on paper and even if they are higher, is not as important as you think for real world driving. Band snobbery and Euro aXX kissing, is another thing though 😉 Personally, I like the way the more luxurious 3 and CX-30 has gone, and I hope they keep heading in this direction. It's hard to compete with some other budget Japanese manufacturers, and of course the Koreans and even some Chinese brands now - check out Geely cars for example.
But no towing capability for the CX-30 means no real utility, just more interior room. And no manual transmission is offered. l'd still need to buy a pickup for occasional hauling.
Has your Mazda emergency brake activated out of nowhere as I read some people mentioning ??? That’s very worrisome
I was and still am considering this car in FWD preferred trim. Then I went to the NHTSA website and was surprised to see how many complaints there were for this car. The 2019 had 5 separate recalls. The most alarming is the emergency braking activating out of nowhere. Hope that 20 something gal right on my ass putting on makeup,combing her hair and reading that magazine can somehow find her brake pedal while doing all that other stuff.
Funny you should mention that. I'm looking to replace my Mazda3 and came across the same complaints. Lots of cars have these systems and similar complaints, including Honda and VW. The best part is, there's no way to disable the functionality permanently, or even in a way that sticks. It always defaults to "on" when you start the car. Nobody will help you modify it. So you'll end up disabling it every time you start the car, forever. FWIW, Subaru's manual transmission models don't have EyeSight. You can thank NHTSA for mandating this half-baked idea by 2022.
I did catch a Toyota TSB outlining how to modify the "off" setting to be persistent using TechStream, for Tacoma trucks driven off-road.
Scary . Pretty disturbing to think your car could brake very suddenly . Now I’m worried about considering getting a Mazda. 😩
A lot of the service bulletins were tiny things not related to safety
The side view mirrors on all the Mazda's have been moved closer to the driver. I found this very uncomfortable when trying to drive it.
The side view mirrors on the outside of the car right ? How does that make the car uncomfortable?
@@2004cyrus Because they take up a large amount of the window and it causes a major distraction, at least for me! I don't own one, but I drove one for a week. I'm still driving my 2008 Mazda 3 which is still a great car!
@@jamesstephen353 I see. Well you get used to these things after a few weeks. When you are used to a car you’ve driven for years as I have too it’s an adjustment and maybe an irritation for a month or so. I came out of a VW Tiguan. There were things I absolutely hated in the Mazda but then a month or so later I realized I was used to the differences and now I like the Mazda more. I had to get used to the brakes and the seats and console and a few other things. The interior space too. Now I feel the CX-5 is superior.
Hint hint, this looks like the perfect car for you Drew 😏
Give me the 2.5T with AWD and I'd be sold !
I own a 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback manual and I drove a 2019 hatchback with a stick and liked everything about it except the handling. I was quite disappointed with the way it handled. The steering felt heavier but was noticeably slower in changing direction than my car. It’s a shame and I hope they fix that soon because I would gladly trade my car in for the new one otherwise
Your 2014 is a much better car. Keep it!!!
mac daddy I have no plans to get rid of it in the near future. The only thing I’d trade it in for is the new CX-5 turbo, which I can’t afford right now
Mazda steering is always a little heavy. Most say it’s perfectly weighted and very connected
I never ever purchase the new models until the 2nd or 3rd model comes out, by then all the bells and whistle are added as standard and the quirks are all resolved...otherwise it's beautiful.
15 years ago $14,000 was entry level!
I forgot to be “First” 😢
Do 2020 Honda Odyssey
Hopefully soon!
Drew, this is so your new daily driver and replacement for your 2010 Camry. All this car is missing is a pano sunroof. 18 in. alloy wheels and that exterior color, car is so you Drew. Looks like all of your camera equipment fits in the trunk of the Mazda3 Drew and Mason.
Haha yeah! If they just had the 2.5T in it with AWD, I think I'd be sold!
Wowwww what a nice.Mazda. 3 sedan thw oozing sounds and specs and designs amazing.thank u so much sir Drew to both of you guys for.your.nice excellent review take care godbless u more blessings Car confections from.your solid fan viewer from.The Philippines sir vhin.😇😇😇☺☺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟👏👏👏👏🚙🚗🚘🚘🚘🚐🚐🚗🚗🚗🚗
Bring the manual option to the sedan!
Hey, how come you don't let Mason go first sometime? XD
They have a system and it works great
Mazda is cute.
Gorgeous car but interior colors are too dark . Wish they offered a tan color interior with that red exterior .
A black and white interior is available.
That rear bumper mismatch on the red is freaking horrible
Did they fix the cheap metal that rusts and the awful cabin noise?
How old are you guys? 16? 17? I gave you a thumbs up because you're so young.
Thanks! We're 23 and 19 👍
Anybody else have to reread this title like 3 times or am I just retarded 😂😂
Perhaps: Only thing "Entry level" is the price
Devon Gee thought I was only one…
And the transmission, rear suspension and motor
Was that a gigantic puddle of water on the dealership floor at the very beginning???
Can yoh help me to choose between mazda 3 and civic 2020 please and thank you.
That's a very tough decision! We have actually made a comparison video on the subject that you might find interesting: ua-cam.com/video/-y1aI1_id-Y/v-deo.html
Where are the paddle shifts
On higher trims
Wow Real lack of rear seat features. No availible Sunroof on other models except the Premium will send so many people away to shop something else like the Civic or Corolla, or Forte
Many car makers are forcing people to go to highest trim for a sunroof. Hyundai being one of them. Stopped me from buying a Tucson. I have to think a lot of people buying these don't have a lot of rear-seat passengers on most trips to warrant the features.
yea thats my thought as well..
i had been considering a Mazda3 against Civic/Corolla
but with the lack of standard features/average MPG/higher price... looks like Mazda has priced it out of 'entry level' terroritory for me
jdlo56 when your CVT breaks down you wish you had a real transmission
I have the top trim 2015 sedan. I wish I could have gotten it without the moonroof/sunroof. I'm waiting for the Skyactiv-X to reach the USA and I'll get a new one. I may way for the 2nd year model just in case there are issues with the engine.
ThErANdoMSTRaNGeR it’s not coming soon. The US will be the last market in the world to get it.
If you see mazda on the streets demn you'll be looking filthy rich than seeing a civic that only looks like a racer haha
has anyone tried modding this yet? i’m tryna get more speed
If you want more speed you should have bought a different car. lol
Dan C it was my parents’ choice bc they wanted me to be safe, so i didn’t get to choose. lol.
Lil Academically Dishonest
Gotcha lol. The only thing that would really make it faster is forced induction (turbo). Sure you could do intake/exhaust, but it wouldn’t make much of a difference besides making your car noisier.
I’ve seen a lot of people upset about the new key fob but doesn’t look too bad
These days people get upset if you say "Hello" to them when they don't expect it, so... opinions to be taken with a grain of salt lol
Mine works great
Civic BEST!
Nice looking car, but cannot believe you have to buy the premium trim to get the moonroof. Come on, Mazda!
Every other manufacturer is doing the same thing.
Agreed.
