Mazda 3 1.5 Liftback (2021) Review - Power Got Ah?

The Mazda 3 is arguably one of the most talked-about C-segment hatchbacks currently available on the Malaysian market. And for good reason - Mazda's driver-focused philosophy plus their legendarily rev-happy engines should make for a truly spectacular experience behind the wheel.
But with a 1.5-litre engine under the bonnet with meagre power, plus the usual cutbacks required to get the Mazda 3 1.5 Liftback to the price point they wanted it to be at, is it still any good?

Nice review mate, great job!

[@mrrecordman4950]

i bought this m3 4th gen in 10/2019. mine is sedan 1.5. yes it is quite expensive because for 137k you will not get front and rear sensor, no driving sensing technology, no blindspot monitoring system, but what i can tell is the handling really fantastic, for those who seeking in pleasure driving below 150k i might saying that m3 is the one, it is not a car that will give you an impressive 0-100 performance but yes a joy experience

[@juliuschooi6008]

So do i need to unlock the car manually?

[@mrrecordman4950]

starting nov 2020, mazda enhanced their 1.5 model by inserting the keyless entry system and the price also hiking from 134,500 to 137,000. before that there was no keyless features and yes it only function in manually

[@juliuschooi6008]

I see. It's clear now as there are two different sayings in different videos. Thanks mate!

[@khookeatchye6883]

Excellent review bro. I think if I get it I’ll get the sedan😊

[@mrrecordman4950]

yes the revv is fantastic, 137k for 1.5 and 155k for 2.0 hp excluding insurance, free service for 6 yrs or 120k whichever come first, i just sent my car for 20k service and for the time being no cost at all, plus mazda also give a free engine cleaner in their package

[@aidenng5359]

have u seen any 2022 mazda 3 with platinum quartz color before? wanna choose that color if i decided to make the purchase but i havent seen 1 in real life before, hence a bit hesitant on that

[@amerasyraf9241]

Hopefully the 2022 version does come with blind spot monitoring system at least...

[@mrrecordman4950]

apologize guys, typo error, 😅, not 10/2019, i bought in 10/2020, the 6 years free maintenance package offerred only in 2020, i am not sure whether it is still continuing in this year 2021
