We're doing a bit of catch up since we didn't get to try the Mazda3 in 2019. So we got the keys to the 2024 2.0L M Hybrid in fastback form, and see if it can still reignite our love for compact cars.

Mazda 3 2016 Hatchback owner here. Still love my little daily driver even though we already have a midsize SUV. Still takes the corners like a champ even after all these years. As a previous Honda purist, Mazda vehicles really push way beyond their years.

[@andyenteria4902]

Very timely video. Planning to buy mazda 3 for quite some time now. Thank you Sir!

[@blackriderph4340]

This review about the 4th gen is the best I’ve seen from 2019 to this date.

[@EMILROSS]

I have been watching Mazda 3 reviews and this review is very timely!

[@khoeraine28]

the best review of the mazda3 so far. very detailed.

[@edbrondial7440]

Good review as always.

[@renzoalmighty1225]

Timeless beauty. Still have my Gen 1 running smoothly. Thrown some body kits on it and still competes to newer models in terms of aesthetics.

[@blueKAPTIN]

At laaaaaast!!! Sir Vince or AI is reviewing Mazda 3 ♥️♥️♥️

[@paolosy1293]

Good Interior & Exterior design, fun to drive, solid built quality, good Bose sound system plus free 5 yr PMS. The only problem now is claustrophobic feel specially on the Sportsback variant.

[@flywithmico]

I love how refined and elegant looking Mazda cars are. Compared to other brands which offers Transformers-like/childish designs.

[@operationscfbi4782]

Super fun to drive!

[@rowellconde]

I think the touchscreen issue (setting it on required) and wireless Android Auto is fixed with a software update. I had my G25 Astina last year (I am in Oz, by the way) and after a month of ownership, Mazda emailed me to do a software update, and there you go, wireless Android Auto and a touchscreen option.

[@CrazyMilkman27]

Sobrang ganda nyan lalo na yung red! Tapos traditional automatic transmission pa unlike sa iba na CVT .

[@user-hi8np4nm2v]

Mas maraming may gusto ng CVT kase mas smooth at fuel efficient at walang shift shock tulad ng traditional matic.

[@CrazyMilkman27]

@@user-hi8np4nm2v mas gugustuhin kona yang shift shock kaysa sa rubber band effect ng cvt 😁

[@user-hi8np4nm2v]

@@CrazyMilkman27 Depende na lang sa preference ng tao yan, nagkaroon nako ng 2001 Civic, 2005 Altis at 2009 Mazda 3 lahat traditional matic and now naka Civic CVT ako kaya based on experience mas prefer ko ang smoothness at fuel economy ng CVT kesa traditional matic.

[@user-lu1bp6tn6g]

@@user-hi8np4nm2v CVT's are not reliable in the long run and are more expensive to maintain than traditional automatic transmissions

[@user-hi8np4nm2v]

@@user-lu1bp6tn6g I've owned many vehicles and I am confident to say that Honda and Toyota CVT are more reliable than most traditional automatics. Gone are the days of expensive maintenance of CVT since most of the econo cars today are using CVT which means there are plenty of parts nowadays unlike the dying breed traditional automatics with lesser parts availabilitywhich in turn increase the maintenance. Today, the Law of Supply and Demand favors the CVT.

[@loschurrerosphsouthwoods2439]

Love the vid! Please do a mazda 2, cx3 and a cx30 please

[@DBomber_24]

Could you please make a video of the Mazda 6 Sports Wagon too?

[@astan168]

Why mild hybrid only mazda??

[@ExpertYouTubeCommentator]

why is there a phev in your country but not in US?

[@ADJ161996]

Make a video about the facelifted Civic

[@BossPau]

Perfect timing. Been contemplating if i should get this or the civic rs..and i still don’t know which to go for 😅

[@airrjordan23]

Same here! Heart says Civic but the mind says Mazda. 😂

[@fanakongpne]

Plano ko nga rin tong 3 or mag cx30

[@BossPau]

@@fanakongpne cx60 is another option for me..ang hirap! Huhu

[@nixbriones4963]

The most good looking hatch we have in the country! Atleast imo

[@OeGpj7my]

I did roughly estimate/calculation comparing with the non-hybrid with this one. If I'm not mistaken, it gave me a result ~ 8 years before I can get back on the savings with just gas. My variables are 6k monthly gas for non-hybrid and 4k monthly gas for hybrid and their prices from 1.5ish to 1.7ish respectively roughly 200k difference. I don't know, maybe if you need it to drive everyday I think this hybrid is still efficient, no coding too. 🤷

[@logmeinhere]

It's not coding exempted if I'm not mistaken as it's only a mild hybrid car.

[@chuckh0le]

@@logmeinhere this is tricky. per the DOE, its not exempt because its not a full hybrid. but ultimately the DoTR/LTO will be providing classifications, which is why my Mazda 3 is classified as a hybrid. no extra steps or appeals done on my part. when i got my CR from the dealer it showed hybrid. my guess is Mazda PH appealed to have their vehicles classified as legit hybrids. in fact, if you check Mazda PH's website you'll find that all their cars are labeled as HEV and not mild hybrid as they were initially called

[@OeGpj7my]

@@logmeinhere That make sense - Personally, I'll opt to non hybrid.

[@archimedesreymanigbas9623]

Please review cx5 and cx8 and compare with other brands.. badly need it before choosing or buying one 😢

[@logmeinhere]

Which other cars are you considering? The cx5 is a 5 seather only, while the cx8 is a 6 or 7 seater depending on the variant. So make sure to decide if you want those extra seats. For what it's worth, here's my quick two cents on Mazda CX cars: Pros: - premium feel interior, and - better driving dynamics vs. competitors - Free 5 year maintenance service same with all Mazda cars Cons: - Less interior space, and - worse gas mileage vs. competitors

[@autoindustriya]

We've already reviewed the CX-5: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKqnmnVrna2HqZIsi=4ZtcBvcSY0hJo4QY

[@archimedesreymanigbas9623]

Hi ​@@logmeinhere! Thank you for your response. We are actually torn with subaru brand, forester (vs cx 5) or outback (vs cx 8) if incase my commander wants bigger space.

[@igopsalaipo5470]

Finally someone measures trunk by length and height and not by liters as if were putting liquids.

[@dinamicasvisuales]

Pongan la caja manual y suspensión independiente, eso hace la diferencia.

[@wilfredbalmores8440]

Best looking car hands down, also it's a mild hybrid so no exemptions?

[@autoindustriya]

Yup no exemptions IIRC unfortunately

[@nickbarnes5802]

is the car exempt from number coding?

[@autoindustriya]

Last we checked, no

[@nickbarnes5802]

@@autoindustriya thanks

[@gaylordfrancisco8928]

Not sure why until now there is no touchscreen? I understand the controller is there but it still doesn't give you the choice of using the touchscreen or knob. It's more user friendly than trying to master the knob/controller. Boggles me for Mazda is more on luxury and comfort. It's like your still using a blackberry phone instead of a smartphone. 🤯

[@subr4711]

Wow most of the car channel reviews again the mazda 3. It seems a new model is aproaching.

[@adzbawa]

I think it is a touchscreen for Apple CarPlay only. Correct me if I’m wrong.

[@autoindustriya]

We tried Apple. Touch didnt work on the main screen... maybe we've got a setting wrong somewhere, but cant say for sure. Story is the same with other mazda models like CX-60 and CX-90

[@bugsy101073]

the C pillar is horrendous! the rest of the designs is excellent

[@mactian9493]

nope.. i have this car since 2020 and not any single person i met complain about the C pillar even once.. all of them just prays how good looking this car especially mine in soul red

[@harizwakdeen6005]

the c pillar makes the car more sexier ... why people complain tho

[@justinlukeyap]

The c pillar “blind spots” are compensated by the tech features. 4 years with no issues so far.

[@jomac21]

it does not need a small turbo engine.. it needs an upgrade to 2.5 L turbo like in the US or a 2.5 L non turbo.. there's a lot of small displacement turbo engines in the market suffers from oil dilution problems.. and I do hope that mazda never enter the trend on small displacement turbo engines with CVTs.

[@ricg2005]

If you're going back it's a copy cat to other Chinese car brand. Since Emgrand you present before the succeeding models are boring even if they put same features.

[@alanagbayani4899]

My next Car, either that or Civic , i hope hahahaha.
