2018 Mazda 3 Grand Touring (6AT) - POV Test Drive (Binaural Audio)

[@devondelgado1818]

I’ve just recently bought a 2018 mazda3 touring hatchback and am absolutely loving it

[@ankbrq]

One of the best compact cars ever made.

[@alansmilealot]

ankbrq honestly wish we had the curewnt mazda 2 hatch, i have nevvwr been tempted to buy a new car since i can maintain and repair my own, but that would be the one.

[@Lucky8s]

@@alansmilealot Old Mazda 2 didn't sell too well (Americans and Canadians have a thing for obnoxiously large vehicles). It's a lovely car though.

[@trevwright93]

This is gonna be my first car (Touring but white) and there’s something so pleasant about hearing the steering wheel glide across your hands, the turn signal sounds, with the engine going too. The silence from everything else. It’s almost addicting and I’m excited to get my car in a couple days. I feel like I’m going to be the talk of the town once I start driving my car (I know I won’t be lmfao). I wanna see who this dude that’s driving is. Seeing someone use turn signals anymore, it’s attractive lmfao it’s hard to find someone using them correctly anymore

[@travishita4880]

Is it just me or does this sound and shift better than the '19/'20 redesign?

[@colinsmith1176]

Looks so much better than last year's model.

[@Heff8929]

I have the 2014 Gt 2.5 and they definitely sped up the paddle response on the 18’s by the looks of it.

[@JDowPCs]

I've got a 2017 hatchback GT 6MT. I like it. Awesome gearbox. Easy to work on. Quiet plus a nicer interior than the ILX I was going to buy instead of it. Only thing I wish mine had was radar cruise and lane keep, but I think the 17 GTs had that as an option for whatever reason.

[@jlcy8313]

JoshDow.us i’ve got a 2018 sedan GT, the radar cruise is nice but useless under 30 unlike most cars. and the lane keep, ive just turned off because it’s so inefficient. you’re not missing out on much tbh

[@akbarrajani121]

I test drove a 2018 M3 GT 6MT. Loved everything about it except the throttle lag when you try to rev match on downshifts! It was way too much lag for me. And that was a deal breaker!

[@thecentralman]

I honestly liked the Mazda 3 more than the Miata after test-driving both. Not saying that the Miata sucks but that the Mazda 3 is well composed even compared to the Miata. I hope Mazda gains more reliability.

[@ConnecticutDashcam]

A K reliability is already on point. Lowest cost to maintain over Toyota and Honda 3 years in row

[@blazerboiz5996]

Connecticut Dashcam that doesn’t sound right🧐

[@ZM-ij2hx]

They're one of the most reliable on the road, and still were in 2018

[@KidCarReviews]

Nice POV!!!

[@tabban21]

Great video great drive

[@Ahmet-ix1lr]

it is so quiet isnt it? i was thinking “the car is not working” in first 20 sec.

[@andresara4711]

the 2019 model is quieter than this.

[@Raymondslitter]

where is this place in which country ? i think it's better to drive in busy area more traffic thank you great work

[@taramarie8898]

Anyone recommend this for there first car? I’m 27 and just started driving , also have a 5 year old…really interested in this model and year.

[@TheEstowrath]

It's a great car! Mazda builds reliable and efficient vehicles. Unfortunately compared to their competitors they lose their value a bit quicker. But regardless if you get the FWD or AWD version, it'll be great ! I'd recommend the 2.5L engine if possible.

[@mike_miller]

what camera and what mic do you use to record your vids? Awesome!

[@dynaamicc]

Now I'm really envious cause my country only gets the 1.5L 😥

[@panosstamou6131]

Winding Road Magazine Hello man, do you know if and when you will drive the HYUNDAI I30 PERFORMANCE?

[@xUltimatexInstinctx]

Stop using the paddle shifters it shifts slower🤦🏻‍♂️

[@colin1992]

Getting this next year 😁

[@GuestYouTubeUser]

Colin Don’t. They depreciate a lot. I’m down $7K after 6 months of ownership.

[@Rheisler1475]

ditto man, well the next question is, are mazdas reliable for the long term use?

[@stephencurry305]

Ryan Heisler same question I have

[@GTAEmergencyVideography]

@@Rheisler1475 yes!!!

[@daixso]

If only Mazdas didn't depreciate so fast. They are fun economical cars until you trade it in or sell it.

[@KAMProductions]

zwilliamsdev all cars depreciate, but the newer body style doesn't depreciate as fast. Trade value of my 2014 Mazda 6 is still pretty high. That and it was assembled in Japan.

[@daixso]

KAMProductions I worked a major used car dealership for two years Mazdas and Nissan's tank in value

[@ConnecticutDashcam]

zwilliamsdev if you’re buying your car for the purpose of trade value, you should be leasing

[@daixso]

Connecticut Dashcam I'm just saying there are cars you can buy that once you are ready to get rid of you would take less of a loss. Like a Toyota as an example.

[@albertvazquezee4705]

Connecticut Dashcam op

[@ijobss]

mode sport??

[@jamelrosser]

I just wanted to know what has been the most exciting daily driver you have drove?

[@gentiankalamala3852]

Jamel Rossellaf au

[@周强-w3x]

mph？or km/h？

[@ShellymanStudios]

It's nice looking car, but there's a lot of outside noise.

[@jeffmurray1681]

Yeah, a lot of road noise seeps into the cabin. A deal breaker for me.

[@A_guan]

How sensitive is the blind spot indicators? Are like stupid sensitive like in the cx5 where it's still lit up after 2 or 3 car lengths?

[@kevchewee]

Tech Defender I own one, you can change between 5 sensitivity settings in the centre infotainment menus.

[@lavender4503]

curbed it lmao

[@thesaimabbas4487]

i am first who commented i am a huge fan of winding road / magazine

[@iloverebeccachambers]

second =)

[@GuestYouTubeUser]

I wouldn’t recommend this car if you plan to sell it in less than 5 years. They depreciate a lot. After six months of ownership and 9K miles the trade in value is $14K! I’m down $7K on a 6 month old vehicle! 🤦‍♂️

[@northcarolinadashcam549]

As soon as you drive off the lot, the car value drops about $3,000.

[@GuestYouTubeUser]

North Carolina Dashcam I also paid MSRP for it! That was my first mistake.

[@NoVaRedacted]

I got a grand touring hatch with premium package for $22,000.

[@neil9658]

Why you wanna get rid of it so soon?

[@GurtonBuster07]

Crazy looking back on this comment now. Wow.

[@kylosolo6128]

What's been changed in 2018 model?

[@ConnecticutDashcam]

Qua Pro Pro appearance wise, the alloy wheels are dark finish now.. everything else is just equipment changing. Most of the safety tech is now standard in the GT where it used to be part of the package

[@Roxos_]

Ese 2019

[@thegoldenghost9243]

Badddddddd

[@DM-fi1lq]

Ne biçim test sürüşü konuşma üşeniyor

[@gabexvideos7363]

Here in Colombia Mazda 3 is assambled in Mexico so is a bad quality car, i prefer Hyundai Elantra Limited or Skoda Octavia thousand times better

[@MrMetall99]

Gabex Videos Man the golf is made in Mexico and is a really good car

[@Krelian89]

You liar, most Mazdas are assembled in Japan,

[@smora6054]

Chill fan boy, the only reason why those companies open franchises in Mexico is because we can do the job and we do it right, get your facts straight

[@ZM-ij2hx]

What were you smoking when you wrote this? It's embarrassing
