2013 Mazda3 vs Hyundai Elantra GT 0-60 MPH Performance Mashup Review

[@dustcan145]

HONESTLY YOUR PUTTING A MANUEL 2.0 AGAINST A 1.8 AUTO??? WHAT THE HELL LOL!!!! OF COURSE THE MAZDA IS GONNA WIN

[@alex91008]

Plus the Hyundai was carrying 2 people.

[@dustcan145]

the hyundai gave it a good run though i love hyundai

[@Jsv_1021O4]

Yeah they should have put the 2014 with the 2.0 manual in the race instead

[@MangoSmoothie16]

I dont know why I keep watching these vids. You cant rev a car. You cant shift. You cant launch. (Its not snow tires. They help when its cold. You dont know what youre doing) You cant review a car. What can you do? One day I might not be disappointed.

[@benjmiester]

Sometimes, but definitely not always. The only factor that gave a standard (more accurately, a manual) an advantage was the fact that they had better gearing for acceleration since they had an extra gear to save gas with when in 5th over the old 4 speeds. Todays 6 speed autos aren't burdened by that old loss factor. Also, they can now shift faster than a human, considerably faster. Google it, it's been proven many times now. Especially DSGs. Manuals used to rule, not so much any more.

[@JeffScott-1978]

I have a 2016 Elantra gt and it does 0-60 in 7.3 seconds. 173hp.

[@applepoop10]

My 2006 Mazda 3 GT does a 0-60 in 7.2 seconds and it’s 9 years older.

[@glockaronincheese9538]

None of this makes sense to me because my Hyundai Elantra 2019 SE is 247 HP stock and has a 0-60 or 4.2 seconds. Either these mfs are FAT. Or they got some engine work to do.

[@pauldavidn]

Before I bought my Mazda 3 Sky 2012 I test drove both down a very uneven, bumpy road. While the Mazda mastered that road, I had to slow down with the Elantra as I was worried the back end would hop away. Not even close in the handling segment. Unlike you guys, I don't drive larger better cars so my view on this segment is more down to earth. It's a buy it, keep it car to me. I love my Mazda 3!

[@DAL138]

Best reviewers on KZbin, always informative and interesting to watch.

[@shome1289]

really lol good joke

[@kpag3030]

I've seen the Elantra do 8 seconds. 8.5-9 more likely the norm. I've seen the Mazda do less than 8 barely

[@Jefff72]

I'm an hour away from heading over to up my 2016 Hyundai i30 Combi. That's the European version of Elantra GT as a wagon. This is a 1.6ltr diesel. I can't wait.

[@Whatzitmatter]

My Speed3 is showing 32-33MPG at 70MPH in 6th gear on the dash display. It made 247HP 265TQ today on a dynojet. Have your cake and blow it off the road,too for 2k more. These base 3's would have to get a solid 35MPG all around to be worth the massive performance hit in acceleration, braking, and cornering.

[@elelejido100]

my 2010 manual hyundai i30 kicks both cars asses to 60 mph easily. But the new elantra gt is more beautiful

[@kamehamekeane]

Keep in mind that it is a mile above sea level. The 2013 Civic they tested: 0-60 in 10.62s.

[@rommell83]

Last year I bought an Elantra for my wife. The main selling point for us was the 40 or more mpg. We have yet to get more than 34 on out of state trips and usually it is 33. We like the car, but got scammed on the mpg. I have talked to several other Elantra owners and 34 hwy mpg is the best I have heard. Should have gottena Prius!

[@tomrobie4374]

Why do you compare manual sticks to auto stick? Why? Why? Why? You should use the regular auto stick non Sky Active Mazda 3 compare to the Elantra. Or a stich shift Mazda3 vs stick shift Elantra. Why?

[@TFLcar]

Yes

[@inodesnet]

The Mazda 3 normal does roughly 8.5s - it's a tad faster than the Civic. But this test was in Colorado at altitude. All cars have trouble. The Civic should do about 11s or so in Boulder.

[@nguyenthanh8]

I love my 2013 mazda 3

[@Portymoth]

Me to man. Couldn't be happier with the choice.

[@chicago2370]

h4ckshot same

[@SexyBulldozerMan]

does the rust make you faster?

[@MrKevinmer]

27 milles in city?

[@inlinewhine]

Testing the more expenisve Mazda with one person in vehicle and 6 speed manual VS. two people in the Elantra and why does it have an automatic? My stock 2002 Elantra GT manual 5 speed Does 0-60 in 8 seconds quarter mile in 16.00 seconds with a best of 15.9 verified with a timeslip, 135hp 133 ft/lbs plus I average 30-33 mpg with full throttle red line shifts every day for the past 12 years. TFL is sponsored by Mazda so I wonder if that has anything to do with them swaying the tests?

[@ridzbaha618]

manual 135hp going 0-60 in 8 seconds? post your video bro, how much the car weight ? even VW Golf TSI 160hp with DSG (faster shift than ur hand) got 8.2s proof pls

[@iDrive4fun93]

+Riz Hageshi keep in mind that new Golf weighs a LOT more than an old Elantra GT. My brother had a 1996 Toyota Tercel, base of the most basic models, weighed 1800lbs with him in it, had 100hp, completely stock, and could easily hit 60 in the low to mid 8s with the 4 speed manual.

[@myownruin187]

I love Mazda...

[@Games4Days912]

my Mazda 3 skyactive does 0-60 8 seconds. WTF is this guy doing wrong?!

[@Suction_]

Mile above sea-level and snow tires

[@SexyBulldozerMan]

they don't test cars properly.

[@94navin]

it might not occur to you but not everyone wants a car for speed. Most people today want a car just for gas mileage. 4mpg can go a long way.

[@poppaschlong2000]

You mention the Mazda having winter tires as though it's a crutch. In temperatures below 7c or 44f, winter tires have a traction advantage over all season or summer tires.

[@maureacelasswell5804]

my elentra is a lot faster than that 0-60. These guys can't drive at all

[@bdog2be]

They are a mile above sea level. So that is a decent HP loss. Also the older elantra GTs had the 148HP 1.8. The newer models have a 173HP 2.0.

[@ParrotsandPotatoes]

Was there supposed to be that rattling noise in the exhaust of the Hyundai?

[@brorowcarwiz]

Hope you all will be able to cover the new IS!

[@ahmedmurad2660]

I enjoy your video's... Excellent job. Can you please review the new 2013 Toyota Corolla !! Thanks

[@joshuapirelli6146]

I'm an Italian guy and I must admit that Hyundai cars are really the best value for money cars to buy at the moment. Hyundai cars also sport the most advanced technological features of any car company within a similar price range. For example, the Hyundai Equus features a heads-up-display which only BMW offers. Most Hyundai cars offer front and back cooled seats, extra cameras and advanced NFC technology. FORZA HYUNDAI MOTORS!

[@CJTranceAddiction]

I like the look of the Mazda 3 far more! Mazda's are awesome!

[@t4705mb6]

So, you guys entering these cars in the Daytona 500 .... or driving to work and back like actual real people?

[@alexsiul1142]

i am curious why the 3 is so expensiv? did u guys got all the options? like blind spot monitoring, gps and dual zone climate?

[@ivan2979]

I ended up buying the Mazda 3 Skyactiv with 6 speed Automatic. BEST DECISION EVER!!!!! Thank you Zoom Zoom.

[@shaenmuss9126]

How is it now?

[@snehalkrishnan618]

How is it now?

[@A7medMido28]

roman, what to buy then in this segment ... i believe these 2 r da best in this segment

[@polaris911]

I'm confused. The 0 - 60 on my 2007 Mazda 3 2.3 liter is 8.5 seconds and it's automatic.. I believe the manual is 7.5 seconds. Why is yours over 10 seconds? And why is your model $25k.. mine was 20.

[@mertemur]

İs this fair comparison? Because Mazda 3 is manual transmission, Hyundai is automatic. Manual transmission is faster than automatic.

[@LaughingIsMyPassion4]

I'm wonder if that type of Exhaust came with the mazda 3 or he just bought it and replaced the actual one? Thanks :)

[@Jsv_1021O4]

You should have done the 2014 version and up with the 2.0 and 6 speed manual so that it was a more even review

[@robdogracing]

New Intro!! Cool!

[@2thePtBassTuT]

I've read other road test reviews where they have gotten 8.5 seconds with the Mazda 3...

[@TFLcar]

Yup, apples to oranges...that's why we call it a Mashup.

[@lennylee6528]

Had a 2001 Hyundai Elantra GT Loved that car it had good speed and nice hatchback body style

[@dannycai6503]

wtf. in austarlia the elatra gt is an turbo charged 2.0 ltr engine. what is this?

[@DancinRandy54]

what is with that exhaust on the hyundai?!?!!?

[@Whatzitmatter]

I just paid 24.9k for a 2013 MazdaSPEED3 with tech package (msrp 27,490) making 263HP/280TQ and getting an average 22 MPG. It'll zip to 60 around 6 seconds flat and clip 100mph in the 1/4 mile, .92g on the skidpad, 72+ mph slalom, and 106 feet 60-0 braking. Why would anyone looking for the least bit of Zoom Zoom or a "GT" not pay a couple thousand more bucks for a completely loaded with gizmos and power vehicle and perhaps 4 less MPG? Bad driving record, maybe?

[@666batmanrocksu]

Let's not forget what the vehicles weight. Way late on this seeing I got a '12 Touring Mazda 3. 60mph don't mean much in Tejas with Hwy speeds of 70-85...just saying. Not like we're on a speedway with stock parts

[@tbaker077]

How much faster would the 167hp 2.5l model be?

[@riederernicholas95]

Roman do you ever give a car a forget it?

[@stevefromPA2]

I really am confused...One..how many times do we have too hear u took a dump..Second..I have a 400hp Pontiac T/A...and my buddy has a 650hp Nova...and we arent trying to see who gets better gas mileage...

[@MullyinRock]

i hate to point out the obvious but you're comparing apples to oranges....manual vs. automatic. I love the 3i Touring and was about to buy it with the manual when i saw the GT, drove it with the manual and realized it's faster and even with the style package, $3K cheaper. The GT with the 6spd doesn't have as good driving dynamics as the 3i but that's the only category the 3 has over it.

[@The91489]

I just bought a 2013 elantra gt 6 speed man and Its a lot faster than that I hit 60 with me and a family meber in the vehicle in 9 sec on premium fuel and that was me actually shifting decent XD

[@XheartofabutterflieX]

How are you liking your Elantra GT. I bought one yesterday...Atlanta Blue . I like that they are sporty

[@The91489]

I love it

[@FilthyPeasantGaming]

Came to say the same, I get easilly 9 secs on my manual.

[@The91489]

***** premium fuels are better for vehicles they have less of a chance of preigniting

[@donniecahill5243]

Actually you are wrong and he is right. Premium fuel in an engine requiring less than 91 RON is doing nothing but emptying your wallet faster. Due to the lower compression ratio's these engines will not have preignition or detonation from regular fuel. Now crossing over to muscle cars like camaro's mustangs hellcats etc. where these engines are REQUIRED from the factory to run premium fuel with higher compression and not to mention the fact that these engines' ecu's are tuned for this fuel, that is the only instance where premium is "better for vehicles" simply because it is a requirement.

[@MrCliffda3rd]

For the 2014MY they're adding a 2.0 GDI from the cousin Forte.

[@behnkeee]

Roman- in your initial review of the 3, u said u did not like the car, and since u have made 4 videos featuring the Mazda, That is a lot of videos for not liking the Mazda.

[@madisonkhan9072]

Hey how's it going? Good For You! scattered equable

[@bbcoachSupermanBR]

This makes no sense...manual is lighter weight than an automatic, the panoramic roof adds a ton of weight, and the Mazda is built for the sole purpose of spirited fun around town driving...not things like comfort, refined interior, noise, etc.

[@x2p428]

This video isn't a fair comparison, you are comparing an automatic against a manual. Anyone who knows anything about cars knows a manual will accelerate faster than an automatic. Manuals offer more power and torque at the wheels. A real increase in performance.

[@joro353]

The Korean automakers' fuel economy claims are too optimistic... no surprise there. I remember Hyundai's "honest mistake" in terms of mpg last year. The same with performance, unless you buy some supped up model. Not that they are bad, excellent design and reliability... so I've been told. However, if I've got to pick between the two on video, I'll spend my money on the Mazda.

[@dvdkim5]

i do not fear death much but when i was driving the hyundai elantra 2015 and my hand slipped off the steering wheel because of the plastic i was scared shitless because thats never happend to me. Also, the acc/breaks are very.... "electronic/plastic/light as a feather" mazda3 2015. grip everywhere inside the car and on tires which makes for great steering and a fun driving experience. benefeits-lifetime warranty on brakes. promotion is not that much in cash back. cons- not as fast on startup as elantra but will gradually build up much faster hyundai elantra 2015 will fly like a kite (light and smoothe) i was just breezing in this parking lot doing all sorts of turns just cause it was so fast and easy on the accel. benefits- 10 year warranty 100,000 and 5,000 cash back. cons- cheap plastic not like mazdas grip, very light on the ground feels like youre floating, very high dashboard. winner for me was Mazda, i felt more safe handling and steering, and with blind spots.

[@Chaps_Jr]

David Asia My girlfriend has a 2013 Mazda3, and the interior surfaces are NOT very grippy. My hand slips off the steering wheel all the time in her car. Maybe they improved the materials in the 2015 model, so I can't judge your car.

[@Lindauson]

I drive a Hyundai Elantra GT (Manual). It's definitely sub-10 seconds to 60!

[@brandonwright2067]

I pulled 9.8 in my 16 sonic sedan 1.8. I considered the Hyundai Elantra gt I’m glad I chose the sonic.

[@TheBebar01]

Is Hyundai Elantra the same as Hyundai I30 ?

[@aquaticko]

Not to mention that Hyundai means modern in Korean, though it'd be better Romanized as Hyundae (or even more accurately, Hyeondae). And the slanted-H is supposed to be the hand of a customer and the automaker shaking. And Hyundai started in construction, not automobiles. If it's not idiocy, it is ignorance.

[@gcab1000]

But at the beginning of the video you said its not really a "mashup" but a matchup. I dont understand. Your reviews are good but becoming the best reviews you need to take out the bias factor and not contradict yourself. Other than that great job.

[@ToekneeToe]

Great Review.

[@Nigbinski]

Why would you do a 0-60 run on an upslope? 7:01

[@Drewbie85]

That Mazda has the skyactive plus they are 1 mile above sea level which zaps cars horsepower,, turbo does help though recover some of it, if the car has turbo.

[@MrTrashcan1]

This is a complete waste of time. Why would you compare a manual of one model with an automatic of another model?

[@rommell83]

34 is not good considering that we bought the car because the dealer said it would get 40 plus mpg.

[@jbar_85]

Traction control off on both, make both automatic and one person in the car. How is it fair that two people be in the Hyundai versus the Mazda? Unfair.

[@DustinB855]

Ya but I live where they are and that days temp was around 54 not 44

[@eb121209]

2013 Mazda 3 should do 0-60 in about 8.5 seconds and the 2013 Hyundai Elantra should be just a tad slower. You guys fail. Stop doing car comparison videos.

[@Catsandryewhisky]

You don't want to drop the clutch in the Mazda 3 though I find the best way to launch my 3 is 75% power till 5-10 mph then go all in. Also I have a couple mods on their. But Ain the end I'm in the mid to Hugh sixes.

[@94navin]

i would buy the mazdaspeed3 but your not getting the point not everyone wants a turbo charged car. When i was in my shop this customer said she only bought her car for the gas mileage. So im sticking with my previous statement.

[@kevinhoule6547]

Nice Rush Tee Shirt -Rock in Roll Hall of Fame - and yeah that exhaust is just sad in the Elantra - you would think they would add something just for the sound. Some Butterfly value system or something

[@kaleidoscopeon]

You guys are awesome. :)

[@justhes]

same here, 2011 mazda 3 2.0 5 speed.

[@teethree22]

Honestly I feel they need to redo the test. The should have done it right the first time. They should have gotten the gt with a manuel.

[@AboAbdulable]

well slower cuz 1 mile above sea level i have a corolla too and can barely get to 60 in 11 secs at sea level...

[@maddiefugal4486]

Nathan: mix in a salad from time to time. Roman: What's the point of running a test in snow tires? And nearly stalling shifting from 1st to 2nd?

[@TxChristopher]

Try that POS Mazda against my new 2014 Elantra Sport with the new 2.0 GDI engine pushing 173 horses.

Right there with you, the i30 is crazy fast for a car I bought for my wife.
