2014 Mazda3 / Mazda Review / Test / Testdrive ( Roadtrip

[@ausfahrttv]

Thank you for the compliments! The road trip was a blast and it was fun to take the video inbetween.

[@ausfahrttv]

Thank you for the compliment, we are happy if our little clips help you guys out there.

[@ausfahrttv]

Thank you. The interior noise wasnt easy for us to judge regarding the bad road conditions. Whenever the road was good, the new mazda is pretty silent inside. I am not aware that we were at any point annoyed by any wind noises.

[@Outragous82]

I bought one on March 11th and I couldn't be happier with my purchase

[@ausfahrttv]

Jason Weaver Congrats! [Jan]

[@ausfahrttv]

Just to show that the little Mazda3 can deal with those situations just fine. You cannot assume that you have perfect road conditions everywhere.

[@ausfahrttv]

It will be officially presented at the IAA the auto show in Frankfurt on September 10th 2013. For the release date in your coutry you might wonna consult your Mazda dealer.

[@ausfahrttv]

It is not easy for us to compare. We drove the Golf on good German pavement vs. the Mazda3 on Russian road conditions with special tyres. I was a bit surprised when I cut the video that the car seemed kinda loud on the scenes where I speak while driving. During the trip we never had the feeling that the sound inside was loud.

[@ausfahrttv]

The official presentation for public will be in September this year on the IAA (car show) in Frankfurt. The release date will depend on the local markets.

[@ausfahrttv]

Mazda follows another philosophy. Instead of downsized and turbocharging, they stick with > 2 Liter cubic capacity and work out better performance/efficency with higher compression ratio.

[@ausfahrttv]

We had outside temperatures in Russia of 36°C equals 96.8°F - and the air condition had no problems cooling the inside down. I agree that this is not comparable to Arizona, but should give you an idea for other non-extreme regions in the world.

[@ausfahrttv]

The wind noise was quite tolerable. But we did not go faster than 120 km/h for longer distances, so we are not sure about wind noise on higher speeds.

[@ausfahrttv]

We only had a chance to drive the 2.0 120 hp version with manual transmission. We will have a chance to drive the other engines and the automatic transmission in September.

[@ausfahrttv]

You are very welcome. It was fun!

[@ausfahrttv]

Rather interessting, but much better than I had expected. Especially when overtaking I had worse experiences in other regions of the world.

[@ausfahrttv]

We are looking forward a mazdaspeed edition as well!

[@ausfahrttv]

We are sorry, we had to take the plane to Russia and could not take our letherman. Otherwise we would have disassembled the whole car. We were on a road trip, so we took the time for an everyday check. The brakes brake by the way. The steering steers. If anything would not have worked at least fine, we would have mentioned it. By the way, we are bloggers, no professional car magazine with a bunch of testers and editors.

[@ausfahrttv]

I am wondering why you think so, we were rather pleased by the noise level inside.

[@ausfahrttv]

Yes, I would compare the mazda petrol engines to others - according top the hp-value - regardless what the engines cubic capacity is.

[@jordan5552]

A mazdaspeed version will look incredible. Can't wait!!!

[@lowincash]

Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun, lucky you! Very awesome to see the white hatch, that's what I'll be getting :D Looking forward to seeing more of this road trip!

[@DC180]

this little new model has a serious look .. love the front end... love it.

[@ausfahrttv]

Danke. Jetzt steht der richtige Link dabei :)

[@ausfahrttv]

Yes, it was in Биробиджа́н.

[@ausfahrttv]

Thats our jingle. It was produced for us.

[@panban1900]

Yeah you're right, actually theres the 15000km in 30 days endurance/promo from Frankfurt to far east Russia. Mazda's rock

[@kr0pp]

Good to hear Russia is improving, but for me it was another way around. I am already from Eastern Europe, but when I went to Russia, I was shocked at how they drove.

[@ausfahrttv]

Wir are German. We just testdrove the Mazda3 through Russia :)

[@ausfahrttv]

Overall we had a fuel consumption of 5.9 Liters/ 100 kilometers which equals 47.88 MPG.

[@ausfahrttv]

Мы немецком языке. Мы были в России за тур. И большинство людей понимают английский язык.

[@ausfahrttv]

Hehe. You are right. Thats a pretty silly line. I was trying to point out that the side windows in the rear are pretty small, but that grown-ups have still an allright view, but kids might have problems, depending on their age and size.

[@ausfahrttv]

You cannot compare the road conditions in Sibiria to our European standards. But we had long longs that were in at least fair if not good conditions.

[@rider9187]

Nice review guys. I really like this car look. One thing toug, I would have like to hear a little more about the handling. But I know that MAzda makes car that handle like a charm so I think this one will be no different.

[@jabrother]

Thank you this is the first real test drive I've seen on the new 3! I have 2012 sky sedan with stick and thinking of upgrading to the new one. How much nicer is the new one? I'd be especially interested in a bit for pep and a little nicer ride and interior quality.

[@ausfahrttv]

An American considering manual transmission? :) Way to go! Test it yourself. Specially for the US with all your speed limits, you might be fine with the stick.

[@NoRiskGaming]

Very nice car can't wait to purchase mine :) will be my first brand new vehicle

[@ausfahrttv]

Hey J, what you ask for is what all others do. So you will probably find a bunch of videos on youtube that cover exactly what you want. Thats just not what we want to show.

[@ausfahrttv]

Thank you!

[@tunn-gavik]

Overall how was the interior noise (i.e. from the wind, road and engine) in the car? Is it a good highway driver for interior noise at speed? Fantastic video by the way - thanks for creating and uploading it.

[@AndresSalazarAutos]

Any chance to test the diesel or the 165hp version?, 120 seems low for this car...

[@ausfahrttv]

You might wonna check the official Mazda KZbin Channel. They post a new clip for each leg.

[@kr0pp]

Awesome review. How was Russian traffic?

[@burakdulger1144]

Thanks for English...how is the cabin noise when you compare with golf7??

[@somabalogh5135]

Thank you for the English version!!! :-))))

[@ausfahrttv]

We think it was fine for a compact sized car.

[@dg7438]

Thanks Ausfart for the great review

[@prado1ist]

I understand that,but is it working?I mean to compare downsized engines to mazda engines? For example 1.2tsi(105) vs 1.5 from mazda.What you reckon?

[@lowincash]

By the way, how is the performance of the air conditioner in the new mazda 3? The previous gens aren't that cold. Hopefully mazda fixed it with the new one.

[@Dpbherrmann]

Awesome! Hope it comes to us soon!

[@SRTMoe]

Great review guys.. Thank you for sharing!

[@Teeradej01588]

nice english for every one and easy listening

[@burungitu]

good job guys. keep it up!!

[@ausfahrttv]

No. Its the short back.

[@irArcangel]

hi, is this the grand touring version?

[@irArcangel]

and are those 18" or 16" wheels you got there?

[@peterhan9683]

When will it release????

[@Dragonfiregum]

The noise when its underside grinds pavement, ugh

[@gzt967]

I like the "give it hell" portion of the video... taking the car through water filled pot holes and steep inclines to see how the body holds up should be done in any serious car review.

[@nilsblomqvist2975]

Mazda the best car ever/

[@AlohaBiatch]

you will definitely not be dissapointed. -2012 Mazda 3 owner

[@androo4519]

Except, what about the steering, the brakes, the gearchange, the refinement, the economy, the quality, the controls weights, the roadholding, the safety... in 1000 miles you might have noticed those things. At least you tested the radio.

[@JavierUC94]

when is the release date?

[@AndresSalazarAutos]

I don't think A/C is really an issue in Russia... you need to go to a really hot place to test that! just my opinion! Russia wont reach the temperatures of Arizona

[@branot89]

What was the fuel consumption?

[@82toothpick]

I like the exterior on this but the interior is better for the 2013 models i think.

[@Bulgdoom]

0:44 "Гостиница" is this in Russia?

[@Jellomix]

Nice review, tat's, and accent. Prost! (Assuming your German)

[@englishmanbo]

Ausfart.TV Your understated approach to reviewing is refreshing. Like, it is just a car it's OK, so what, lets get wasted. I will now buy a Mazda 3. Then check out your other reviews, in that order. Respects, Bo Selector from Darkan West Australia via Amsterdam.

[@TheTCOLL]

Such a nice car except that silly silly pop up display. Looks like one of those old aftermarket gps devices.

[@ausfahrttv]

Rather a German car review in English language of a Japanese car filmed in Russia :)

[@moodemxd1632]

good car i like it very much i can't wait to relese the cae :(

[@ausfahrttv]

Thats how car look like in Germany :)

[@PEZ1514]

whats the name of the beat at 0:47

[@rolon1]

THE NEW MATSA 3

[@panban1900]

Is not an off road vehicle why you bounce it to the ground underbelly and in water ditches?

[@nickolastiguan]

because i have a VW haha the new 3 is a lot better than the old one, but still not quite as quiet as i would like my car to be =P

[@prado1ist]

I wonder why there is no turbocharged petrol engines.That 1.5 petrol engine will be less powerfull then 1.2 tsi vag engine.Maybe more reliable ,but probably sluggish as hell.

[@rapidotorpedo]

YOu are telling me that you filmed in russia without a single crash =0 The internet has been lying to me....

[@ausfahrttv]

Prost! :) And thank you!

[@andreas-pk4uq]

you should try the 2.2 twin turbo diesel instead ;) .. much more powerful

[@ausfahrttv]

andy wikan You're probably right - do u own such a model? [Sarah]

[@andreas-pk4uq]

Yes, i couldn`t resist it. i have never had such a good car before :)

[@shiftym1]

Click the "CC" Button and turn on the English subtitles... its so off on some words. Kind of funny

[@babygirl694925]

does the arm rest move up like it did in the 2011 version?

[@qtyrubnvfm]

Holy shit, a Russian car review!!

[@nickolastiguan]

he speaks better english than most americans

[@fhadynamo]

what! a russian car review without a LIVE front impact test?

[@Leegecast]

I hope the 3 doesn't get it again. its had it long enough. give it to the MX-5 or the 6 goodness knows they both deserve to have it back.. Or.. Now stay with me here, give it to the 2. Could be awesome?

[@oliverenojado5512]

I started to cringe during that downward ramp section. I knew a scrapping sound was inevitable

[@Kampeable]

Unter deutsche Version kommt das vom RS7

[@Pandamasque]

He meant to say 'corruption', but it came out as 'winter' for some reason.

[@TheMystificat0r]

Where there is winter, there is damaged road, it is imminent.

[@TVinmyEye]

@ 6:03 dat profile!!!

[@ersindemirci2673]

HAHAHAHAHA These guys are sow funny.... Good review!!!!!!

[@asinzhang7146]

wait mazda 3~~~ :)

[@hameed]

those rear windows are small. weird

[@supercooled]

Why do the Russians always get first exclusives on car reveals? Damn..

[@rickyguti]

You hit the bottom of the car several times.. why do that? This Mazda isn't any tall, so don't throw it through ramps or potholes...

[@BoopSnoot]

What kind of fart?

[@b4ll4z]

"the window is small but I can still look outside" ... no shit!?

[@Stingermanpad]

Infiniti FX's little bro.

[@TheVertigo235]

the license plate kinda makes it look awkward.

[@amPro7]

I'm buying lol
