2017 Mazda3 Review

[@Tepekegoat68]

Proud owner of a 16 mazda 3 s touring. Couldnt agree more as far as driving dynamics, its just the best as far as compacts! The infotainment system is super easy to use once u get used to its menus. And the exterior styling is just exquisite! I would def recommend anyone to buy a 3. Mazda rocks!

[@ness.]

Saul Villalobos how is the ride quality as in stiffness and firmness

[@mr.speyside5240]

Listen to the review at 1.5x, thank me later!

[@coffibean9275]

thank you😂

[@mzakon1]

Yup! Thanks! 😆

[@armandojuan64]

I don't even know what apple carplay or android auto are . I love it when people reviewed cars and talked about engines , transmissions , suspensions and stuff like that . Now they review a car and it sounds like they are reviewing a fucking smartphone .

[@Acc0rd79]

Before the announcer even started and the intro was playing, I saw all of the down thumbs so I knew it was either Mr. Lisp or Mr. I talk too slow who was the presenter.......I was right:)

[@davedraycott5779]

Presenter was fine.

[@kevinalan1335]

Words like "pretty" should not be used this much. it's a vague intensifier that people use when they play it too safe and don't want to be decisive in what that they say. Dan is getting better but abuses that word often. It is a review of a product. Don't leave things up in the air by leaving it up to interpretation. everything is pretty nice, pretty well sorted out, pretty neat, pretty good fuel economy, pretty direct, pretty solid, pretty well. That's not exactly saying much.

[@AutoGuide]

You seem pretty hung up on the use of adverbs when their use is really quite reasonable. It's kind of challenging to stop, though with some work we hope to pretty much sort it out soon.

[@darren1002]

AutoGuide.com so whats better, the mazda or the new impreza? seems the impreza beats it in everyway besides engine?

[@kevinalan1335]

Trying to give some constructive criticism. It's not helpful to use such a vague word for the reason I stated. It's lazy. I can review a phone (something I know little about) by using words like "pretty"... It's a pretty good phone. the phone is pretty intuitive and over all the phone is pretty well made. You'll pretty much like this phone. The glass feels pretty solid and it's pretty compact. Not too compact but pretty compact. I don't feel autoguide is willing to bring much to the table and lately seems unwilling. will probably see more overt advertisements. The views speak for them self. Upping the video quality can only take you so far. With more and more 'meh" content the solution is not to bring in more "meh' journalists. Dan is quickly becoming a face of Autoguide. If meh content is what you want to provide just disregard what I'm saying.

[@EVil-ob8in]

Second review I’ve seen describing the infotainment system as juvenile which is a curious adjective to use. I’ve heard other reviewers talk about leather being an option if you want to kill a cow (not Mazda). This proves to me that reviewers are stealing each other’s homework rather than writing their own. Watch one car review and save time by ignoring all the others

[@zigozevenzeventyzeven2215]

How is the maintenance cost? such as battery replacement? fuel efficiency?

[@SeditiousJerk]

Fuel efficiency is easy to look up, and who seriously considers something as arbitrary as "battery replacement"!?! I don't even know what that means.

[@mm-gyro]

Nice car! What's the color on the car? ETERNAL BLUE ?

[@brandondavidson751]

I'm buying my first car and am having a hard time deciding between the mazda3 hatch and the honda civic hatch lx... I've test driven the honda but not the mazda yet.

[@MrNicholg]

Dan, you've really gotten better with the intros.

[@drewdriver1970]

Where's Craig Cole? I miss his wittiness!!!

[@Matt-kc1jt]

you guys need to post a lot more, the fact that grass is dead and snow is noticeable on the ground is pretty ridiculous. but that is just me not to mention we are in June and it looks like November in the video.

[@esteban75lover23]

Matthew Yakimchick ikr they seen like a lazy staff besides Craig cole

[@Matt-kc1jt]

consolence s literally Craig and Jodi are the only ones on a hustle

[@AutoGuide]

After consulting Urban Dictionary we can confirm that we're all "on a hustle."

[@sneakybeni]

That's Ontario for you

[@courtneyvegan9448]

Ben Dayan it was +28 celcius today in Ottawa. I did not see any snow.

[@jamesgjt]

what mazda does in the g-vectoring is to reduce engine torque during cornering. it shifts the weight to the front so the outside tires has more traction. first thinking will be... isnt that will induce more understeering? but apparently not. it just not letting you gas during or entering corners. and it only happens in lower speed too. so this system is just like preventing idiots who put lots of gas in corner and kill themselve. damn purchased mine in 2015 and they already refreshed in 2017 with some tech upgrades... but i still like mine better with less angular looking and better rear bumper..

[@noiricha]

Unfortunately the nice blue is only available in the 2.5L car so add $2500 and the white interior is only available with a $2500 package. So I'll wait to see if this color is available in the GS model next year.

[@laneflinders7144]

My 2016 3 sport GT with the 2.5 has a sport button... Was my car an oddity?

[@SuperWHIZZO]

Ford Focus had G-vectoring from 2012 . So lot of catching up to do Mazda . Latest Focus is a peach of a drive.

[@OmShridhar94]

bored to death is the song to play when you drive like a race car driver!

[@wallyruy2176]

4:00 "Torque is shifted to the rear wheels," how does that work? This is still a FWD vehicle isn't it?

[@AutoGuide]

Right you are, and good catch. the torque is indeed put on hold, but it's the weight that's shifted back to the rear wheels.

[@MrNicholg]

But, you intro the car as a compact, only to conclude that it lacks space. Of course!

[@WC3isBetterThanReforged]

But when will Mazda re-introduce the Speed3?

[@AlexThorn]

Ugh... Why, why does he keep saying maaaazda like that. Fml, I'm so agitated. And he speaks sooooo slow.

[@stereokid]

3:58 Is the G-Vectoring Control only an AWD option? How is the torque shifted to the rear wheels? Is it just a shift of weight by reducing and then increasing engine power.

[@suhrudlowalekar3938]

stereokid don't think the Mazda3 comes in an awd variant

[@smallpaulissmall5582]

7:58 so the "head up display" is the gauges in the dashboard?? Or was this just an editing error?

[@smallpaulissmall5582]

Thanks for the reply.

[@benryr3806]

good 'ol Mazzduh

[@mountainhobo]

1:50 WTF?? They removed the stupid center console knee-interfering stud, but on the PASSENGER side, not the driver's side? So now the passenger can be nice and comfy, but the driver still hits the moronic plastic center console with his right calf, and if you're tall, you know how badly it impacts driving position and driving safety. This is the dumbest thing I have seen in years. BMW and Toyota (starting in 2018 model years) provide the knee relief on the left side, so you don't have to remove your right hand off the wheel when entering a sharp turn (otherwise it hits your thigh), and Mazda did it the OPPOSITE way? Is this because the driver sits on the right side in Japan, and they were too f# lazy and cheap and change the center console for the US and European markets? That's the only explanation I see.

[@delphi-moochymaker62]

OCD triggered. He is driving with no hands on the wheel while he gestures with his left hand.

[@BrownBoyCanadian]

Mazda idrive system is perfectly fine

[@chm2]

Shout out to 102.1 the edge

[@knightmarel]

this guy seems to stretch his words and put unnecessary gaps in between words. I can only focus on his speech pattern not what he's saying

[@danlee3055]

i can't stand his style; i fee; like he is reading off something at a very exaggerated pace. very distracting :(

[@SuperWHIZZO]

This man is a humanoid made by crap mazda robots at one of their factories.

[@xxJoshxMxx123]

Michael Zhu i didnt know how to describe it but you hit the nail on the head.

[@pwagner0176]

Michael Zhu he's Canadian. Canadian's talk the way they do just as people in the U.S. South talk the way they do. Ever heard a southerner drawl out nearly every word they speak?

[@12skits63]

I see they finally put in a decent horn lol

[@RecicledCanadian]

I love my Mazda. ZOOM ZOOM.

[@CheSemah]

This is a good revi..............zzzZZZ....

[@jeff666p]

umm the mazda 3 is a fwd car. It can not shift the power towards the rear.

[@devilsadvocate2548]

I think he meant weight transfer and not power transfer. Obviously! :-)

[@Itzbrosephbruh]

has anyone who owns this car put an amplifier and sub in it? ive been told you cant really change the stock deck out so i want to know if i put just the amp and subs if the stock deck has an EQ that i can play with

[@yan5362]

wraloced .MacDaddyMarko am also looking for that answer. You must use the inbuilt head unit and plug a line output converter to give you RCA out to wire your amp which in turn will wire the speaker and sub. But a bit afraid about if our local shops here in mauritius will be able to do that without scratching, breaking or disturbing something

[@PersonA-r5e]

maaahhhzda

[@lukemccloskey6608]

What song is used in the intro? 0:45

[@mamduh]

I hear no passion in his voice...

[@donnaevans3105]

Will Lin i

[@Cur8or88]

e-trail-braking?

[@Sammie551]

Rock and Roll 🤟

[@jissanhuq3792]

it;s such a blatant copy of the BMW interior... and that is totally a great thing... and i say that as a bmw driver... i just wish they had more performance editions, I would totally consider a 200+hp model.

[@jissanhuq3792]

@Alessandro Nesta its funny cuz i think they did just give it the 200hp+ n better interior infotainment now! I wrote that 3 years ago when it was still too slow

[@jissanhuq3792]

@Alessandro Nesta wow didn't realize the UK doesn't get the new turbo petrol model with 227hp

[@93remix]

ummmmm... if you're talking about performance on a car, then why not do a 0-60 test?? I notice on this review VLOG show, u don't do that and I think it would make this a little more exciting when the reviewer sounds very SLUGGISH

[@ioandragulescu6063]

well reviewers just pick the obvious numbers like HP, because it's stares them in the face but what about the weight of the car and it's aerodynamic coefficient ? Why for example a Volvo s40 with the same specs (122 hp/220 Nm and yea I'm comparing with the mazda 3 G120 EU model) is more than 1,5 seconds slower on 0-100 ? well, they're casual reviewers that's why and all they can say is uuu, not enough power and no android auto or apple car play ..... go figure

[@jrodscluster]

"Ether" not other?.... i guess lol

[@vg4902]

Watch at 1.25x speed. You're welcome.

[@GreatGrandmasterWang]

Mumford and Sons... LOL.

[@ARB0204]

10:33 lol

[@itmustbelove08]

Mazda needs apple/android and more importantly ventilated seats. I am considering going downmarket for my next car but those are the things needed for me to even consider a model at this point.

[@ChocapiC_Cereal]

Ahhh I understand why the review last 10:51 minutes...

[@hassamdaudi]

The car is really fun to drive, but his voice over is nooooot, its reaaally making me sleeeepy.

[@charlesedwards3577]

MazDAH

[@oarabilemokone8672]

Over a million 😂😂😂😂

[@MrNicholg]

Maaaaaaaaazzzzda

[@esparzaantonio1]

I hate how he says Zazda

[@nomankhan-hu4lh]

Jheez he talks slow

[@TinLeadHammer]

Chop off the stupid tablet.

[@cstattin]

Disurbing person

[@golfbuddy1969]

Why do intelligent car reviewers continually mispronounce the car name "Mazda"??? And how did Mazda progress to charging a premium price, as much or more than Toyota or Honda?

[@steve9377]

golfbuddy1969 To me, the Mazda3 feels more premium than the new Civic and definitely the Corolla.

[@golfbuddy1969]

Steve G. I would agree that it feels more premium than Corolla, but similar to Civic. But it isn't just this 3, but across the entire Mazda lineup.

[@golfbuddy1969]

Jee Vang I am being very considerate. I could have called this guy a terrible reviewer, the worst reviewer on AutoGuide, which he is, but I didn't, because I'm so considerate.

[@golfbuddy1969]

Jee Vang also, in the US, in 2016, Honda sold over 1.6 million cars, up more than 6% over 2015. Maaaaazda sold less than 300,000, and down aprox 7% from 2015. Oh to be a "has been".

[@coatsjen]

It depends on which Mazda you get. The Mazda 3 Isport is less than the price they are reviewing which doesn't have all the bells and whistles but he is talking about a Mazda 3 Grand Touring. I just bought the 2017 Mazda 3 Touring. I love it! It's definitely a step up from the Corolla or Civic.

[@TAEbot]

Maaazzzda... 😂

[@swanblake]

Still no Apple carplay, still no power

[@coolmovies1022]

mazda 3 has a ton of understeer, practically undrivable at high speeds

[@AutoGuide]

How fast are you cornering that you're noticing these unbearable bouts of understeer?

[@coolmovies1022]

AutoGuide.com I never take a corner going less than 70 even in my residential neighborhood next to an elementary school #ESKETTIT

[@AutoGuide]

Remind us to stay out of your neighborhood...

[@chrissorreda4982]

I don't know if you're joking, or you're stupid. 70 in a residential? Good job. *Sarcasm*

[@andreweby8445]

thats probably down to the tires that come standard. cornering at 70 with eco tires on isnt going to end well
