I have the same Mazda with about 30,000 miles now. The dealer just put in the 3rd battery (ie. original + 2 more) for free. It was seriously upgraded from the first 2. Other than that, "Pedro" has been a great car.

Helpful video! Just curious, where was your 2021 Mazda 3 in this review assembled? Mexico or Japan? I have heard the Japan-assembled vehicles tend to be a bit more reliable. Mine is a Japan model.
@bwelmhouse14 күн бұрын
Mine was assembled in Mexico. The whole narrative about the ones made in Mexico being inferior to the ones made in Japan is a myth that just won't die. It used to be true, years and years ago, but there's really no difference anymore in the assembly process and build quality between the Mexico and Japan factories. The Mazda CEOs actually went to the Mexico factory to address the problem and implemented strict quality standards. So now, you'll get the same general quality in Mazdas made in either factory. Mexico built Mazdas these days don't have any more issues than the Japan made ones.

ive owned my car for about 2.5 years. 2022 mazda 3 sedan. i had 2 bad batteries. I decided to just get my own. Its been working great so far. I've had an engine icon pop up. They replaced the sensor and valve (both are one part) apparently mine was malfunctioning. I had raddles, but it went away by itself. other than that its a great car.

The turbo's throaty sound within the cabin is fakery generated via the audio system. It's Mazda & Bose's "Engine Harmonics Enhancer," done even when the audio is turned off.
@bwelmhouse112 күн бұрын
While that throaty sound is pleasant, I don't like the fact that it's fakery. I'd rather hear the natural sound of the engine and exhaust. There is a way to disable the Engine Harmonics Enhancer, but it requires a bit of work and a special tool. Just to hear what it would sound like disabling it permanently, perhaps I'll temporarily pull the fuse to the speakers. It's too bad there isn't a way to disable it in the settings menu.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I tested out the audio levels in the video, and the left and right channels are at the same output dB level. There is no difference between the left and the right sides. It must be your speakers or headphones, or perhaps an issue with the audio jack causing an imbalance in the stereo audio levels. Even earwax buildup in one ear can make sounds louder in the other ear. But I tested it with an audio levels meter and the sound levels are bilaterally even.

This is the most helpful video I have found on KZbin so far! Thanks for being very clear on the sizes and making adjustments to your video where things like the 13 vs 14 mm. I can't count how many times I've screwed around with cars with bolts I couldn't see and nuts I could barely reach and have the wrong socket size in my hand! I don't know how men are able to get to that bolt in the back, I'm a chick with I don't know, I would say average size hands for a 5'6 chick, and getting to that bolt was a bitch! My husband who is 62 would have an extremely hard time getting to that freaking thing! What other thing I want to add is I found it easier to do the bottom bolt by using a 3 inch extension. But that's just me. I also had to put a pipe on the end of my ratchet for that also but maybe I just have a short ratchet 🤷 Just want to add a side note here, when dealing with that bolt in the side that nobody can see except with the mirror, I couldn't do the mirror trick because it just screws up my mind whenever I have to look at something and see the reverse of it. I would make a horrible dentist! Anyway, I was able to find the bolt with my hand, but was unable to successfully remove the bolt without using an extension pipe on my ratchet handle. So just keep that in mind, otherwise you might suffer a lot of busted knuckles and cut hands from slippage.

Outstanding! These You Tube videos keep getting better and better The lighting and the visuals the voice and graphics were outstanding!

I own a 2021 Mazda3, naturally aspirated, bought new three years ago. I now have 36,000 miles. My issues: --interior creaks, rattles, and buzzes from the dashboard, door panels and windows, and seatbelt mechanisms, with the loudest and most annoying buzz coming from the infotainment screen (a technical bulletin for the infotainment screen buzz was issued); --a rattle coming from the prop rod that holds the engine hood open that was so loud under acceleration, I thought there was an engine issue (a techical bulletin issue was issued). For now, I have removed the prop rod; --the see-thru plastic cover over the instrument panel scratches EXTREMELY easily, and many Mazda3 and CX-30 owners have complained on Mazda forums. You literally cannot clean the cover without scratching it, even when using a Microfibre cloth. Inevitably, you will get fine, spider-web like scratches that are particularly noticeable in direct sunlight; --the exterior trunk release button works only randomly. Not sure what the issue is. The interior trunk release button and the remote trunk release, however, do work; --since my car was new, after filling my gas tank, my fuel gauge does not quite go all the way to Full. It goes to just short of the Full line, except on a handful of occasions, when it did go all the way to Full; --on one occasion, my car did stall when accelerating from a stop at a stoplight. Not sure what happened, but it never happened again; --sometimes, when accelerating from a stop, the car has an ever so slight hesitation. Maybe a transmission software update will help, like it helped the person in this video; --the exterior paint is simply too thin and chip prone. The fake chrome on my front grille trim piece has also received a big chip; --the navigation software is terrible, even with updates, with regards to giving you the speed limit of the road you're on. In fact, after the latest update, the accuracy of speed limits on side roads and country roads, which were once accurate under the last software update, now default to 25 MPH. Google maps can be accurate, so accuracy is possible, no excuses; --the Bridgestone Turanzas are terrible, and I plan on replacing them with Continental Extreme Contacts; and --the transmission is a sealed unit. As a result, the two Mazda dealers in my area refuse to change the transmission fluid, regardless of mileage. A transmission, even if it is sealed, should have its fluid changed at 50,000 to 75,000 miles, if not earlier. Otherwise, no engine or transmission issues.
@bwelmhouse12 ай бұрын
Interesting. I've not had a single interior rattle or creak now since months before posting this video. I had them on and off for awhile, but no more. Odd. The only rattle though is what sounds like a loose heat shield under brisk acceleration and only when the engine vibrates at a certain range of RPMs. I wonder if mine is also the prop rod. Hmmm, I could tape it down and see if it goes away, as a test. Yeah, this hesitation when accelerating from a stop is very annoying. The ECU reprogramming per the TSB ended up not fixing the issue. I thought it did, but it didn't. My workaround to that issue is to pause for a second after lifting off the brake pedal before pressing the accelerator pedal. It seems that the torque converter or transmission just needs a moment to engage and is slow to do so. I had a technician at the dealership duplicate the issue but he had no idea how to solve it or if it was even normal behavior for this model. I asked him to drive another one on the lot to see if it does the same. He drove a brand new 2024 for comparison and noted that that one also did the little hesitation thing, but he said it wasn't quite as pronounced on that one, but still present nonetheless. Interesting that the dealers in your area refuse the transmission flush. I definitely want to get mine done at around 50K, for the sake of being proactive with maintenance. I do think doing it sooner than 50K is excessive. I'm also big on having them do the fuel induction cleaning service every 20 to 30K miles to prevent heavy carbon buildups.

Isn’t your car still on the warranty? I live in Australia and I have a Masta 3 evolve and the only thing that I’ve had problems with is when the safety thing comes up and it came up a couple of times went back to the Mazda dealership service department and found out it was getting wet so they replaced it now I do not know what it’s like in the US but here in Australia my master or any master has a five year on kilometres warranty so that means you must’ve had some type of warranty mate why didn’t you take it back to the most the dealership and get them to fix it cause it sounds like little problems you’ve got and it looks like you worry too much about the problem and not get the feel of the drive of the car cause I love my Mazda 3

I disagree, strongly. I own a 2021 Mazda3, naturally aspirated, bought new three years ago. I now have 36,000 miles. I think a 30,000 mile review will give a very good indication of initial quality, especially as 3 years/36,000 miles is often the bumper-to-bumper warranty offered by manufacturers. Don't get me wrong. A review at 60,000 miles (the end of the powertrain warranty) and then at 100,000 miles, etc., would also be great.
