The new Mazda 3's Torsion Beam suspension isn't made to increase interior room | Evomalaysia.com

[@julianlee2]

i actually like cars with less rear legroom, discourages colleagues from using my car as the de facto lunch outing car

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Brilliant

[@GhostOfAMachine]

I daily a motorcycle for this reason

[@anas7412]

Ya Right. Haha.

We owned and own several Mazda's and I can confirm, that it is not the brand if you are looking for the best practicality. Mazda makes cars for people who loves style and driving experience. We own 2 Mazda CX-5 Diesel (2016 and 2017 model) and I could drive the Honda CR-V Diesel for a week. The Honda is and feel bigger inside, but the engine/transmissions combination is not so smooth and pleasant to drive as the Mazda and it looks and feels cheaper inside.

[@nabillarif]

been using mazda 6 for couple of years and its a drivers car AND practical...they can do both...i think they didnt make a wise choice with this one , its sacrificed in too many areas to achieve a sporty drive,and any golf/jetta will eat it alive ,more power , more space even though with full independent suspension...this mazda 3 ends up to be master of none u can say...a sporty look , plush materials will not hide the disappointed that the whole car ends up to be...we might excuse it if the price is so super competitive , but,well , its priced obscenely ...

[@handlewithcare777]

This is my first time watching your video. I have to say I’m really surprised that you are a real driver that really appreciate all the tiny details that normal people don’t really see. Good review, even without testing the car I can already feel the premium of this car. Mazda is a car for driver, bad for passengers. If you looking for driving experience, Mazda. If you want to find a car for your kids to fool around, Honda(a legroom emphasised car) lol.

[@yewbtang1848]

Sad the red interior is not available on the hatch in Malaysia. It would have made look much more premium....like Bobby's lovely Audi!

[@UndercoverVictini]

Mazda cx-9 has felt lined glove box, even though no one is going to see it, it's a really nice touch of detail

[@koksionglee7978]

[@ryuhayashi97]

[@EporKingGaBa]

They never mention using torsion beam to make more leg room at rear. They just informed at launch that it is easier for them to setup the torsion beam to decrease NVH that the most priority when design.

[@shaunlee189]

7:42 I'm the opposite, I don't like cold air blowing on my fingers. Looks like this is something that would annoy me in the long run.

[@djw1091994]

You can point the vents away from you.

[@williamstaib4623]

Great review man. Very thoughtful and thorough

[@ChengHooSew]

People seems to confuse price with space. If so that it will be great for people that love to drive. Will take the mx5 in a heart beat as it's the smallest Mazda then it should be the cheapest Mazda.

[@tahsin28]

daumm, i learned more about the 3 then 20other videos combined.

[@orochi316]

Safe to say that Mazda is a driver car but not so great for family. People can afford it definitely can spoil themselves by buying this for themselves only.

[@clod2692]

So how the torsion beam feels compared to simple multilink, or real multilink (5 arm), I mean there's real differences in handling for a common drivers who like to have fun driving?

[@3smipoh]

I was quite surprised at the excitement over the behaviour of the Mazda's gearbox. I've been having this type of gearbox tuning from my Renault Scenic 1.6, Grand Scenic 2.0 and now the Captur all this while.....

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Meh .... totally differeng thing ....

[@3smipoh]

Suggest you give the captur a genting run

[@kenlim13]

New Mazda CX5 2.5 turbo allwheel drive is coming. I am sure many enthusiasts will love to get hold of it.

[@trustgtr33]

i think was done for cost savings considering that cars are beginning to give way to suv's and crossovers, however i feel in stock form the tune seems to be adequate comfort wise but i wont recommend enthusiast to install lowering springs etc as it will start to show its weakness ..at the price Mazda is asking for them at the moment i feel its kinda expensive..

[@popinjayjunior7698]

I think they don't put metallic surrounds around the ignition button is because of the design. Having a standalone ring there would look odd and disturbs it imo

[@nikolaidiqnov6801]

I am kind of worried about the torsion beam rear suspension. Will it hold out? I have owned a Citroën with torsion susp. and it required a lot of maintenance which wasn't cheap.

[@aliln5365]

A Genting run in the dry with the high spec (18 inch wheels) would be good!

[@pianoplayer2516]

Still wish there was a multi link suspension.

[@laterken530]

Should review the new saga 2019.

[@dcpln7]

It feel like an expensive car becoz it is an expensive car... 😂 love the liftback version tho... Too bad 170k+ for this size is just too unpractical for my current situation. (Starting a family)

[@dcpln7]

@edmund wong ya... But that torsion beam is thicker at right and left, the middle is less thicker.. So it will allow some flex between right and left tyres. But still la, preference lo...😂 like what he said, not for everyone, but this car damn sexy... Saw few on the road ady... Rich siaa...

[@dcpln7]

@edmund wong true, but i tot premium price, smaller car in the same segment always Mazda way? Btw i am that type of person if i know the price is due to CBU, Tax, Currency, not becoz of the cost of making the car, then i wont pay for it ady. I just hope few years later, get a 2nd hand one for daily😂 Still have to actually test drive it and sit inside to feel that premium worth it or not tho...

[@dcpln7]

@edmund wong 2014 c seg 137k? Already way higher than competitor, and mazda cabin space memang smaller compare to others. I think they also know it wont really sell one... Just to make a statement and want to push their brand higher. U see kia intro stinger in malaysia almost 400k, how many of us will spend that on a kia... Sometime they just want to make a statement.

[@dcpln7]

@edmund wong Myvi memang BEST! Haha... One thing i not really agree on this beside the price is also performance... Like what u said 160k but not really a fast car. It is just a fun car to drive... And fun is a very subjective thing... But Mazda always has their own fan base... They are not targeting the mainstream buyer. 170k, i'll go for Optima GT. Currently driving forte for 6 years... Loving it everyday..😁

[@mazlan6650]

Is it previous model 2018 ckd already stop production bcoz not appear on mazda website?

[@3ujin]

was hoping to see you drive the high plus =(

[@petertansweeming8226]

The Civic center console panel is made of hard plastic. 🤔. Don't know why Honda is cutting cost on this section. The moulding lines where the lower side meets the upper panel of the dash is very rough and jutting. My left knee feels the moulding line and sored after a long drive outstation. I glued a circular rubber pad on the point where my knee rest. Even the front passenger side has the pad. Tall drivers will feel the rough moulding line.

[@shaunchin6062]

Hi Bobby do you think this car is worth the additional bump as compared to the Honda Civic? Secondly between the high and high plus model, which do you think will have a better resell value/ better bang for buck? Would really appreciate the reply ASAP. Planning to get one real soon!! Thank you

[@andyt9132]

It's been 3 years since this comment, what did you end up getting?

[@MrDamodee]

Bobby, do you know why Mazda chose 16 or 18 inch wheels only? 16 look too small and 18 make the ride a bit too hard. 17 would be a great compromise. Will be test driving the hatch very soon.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

17 tyres very hard to find already, cars these days are big, 18 should be fine. it wont be for long before 17 inch tyres become more expensive than 18s due to rarity

[@tcams76]

I luv my M3 hatchback with 16 wheels. Looks great and I don't have to slow down for bumps in the highway. Maybe in countryside 18 would be ok but I live in a metro area

[@tusiyanthakumar1583]

Lexus ES 2019 is here in Malaysia, review that !

[@dcpln7]

Hi, Bobby, i recently found out 'Mazda Free maintenance' on their website, maybe i am outdated since i last purchased a car was in 2013. Would u mind explain what they mean FREE... 100,000km/5 years is quite a long time... If everything is free, meaning i just have to send my car to SC without paying anything everytime? There must be a catch...

[@Jason_3313]

Yes, free 5 years or 100k mileage service. Include parts and labour. Only not cover wear and tear like tyre, brake pad and wiper.

[@dcpln7]

@@Jason_3313 wow, thats save a lot of money when it come to major service.😳

[@jdfd4906]

JS Ng best to check with the SE. becos diff brands free servicing/maintenance got diff meaning. Some just change engine oil/filter only.

[@peterlai2858]

Bro, the first thing you should report to your viewers upon opening the door is: are the seat coverings real leather or are they PVC? I have a CX3 and even after sticking top-end 3M tint films, the car's interior is still very, very crazy hot even after running it for 1/2 hour. I think car companies should offer a fabric option instead of PVC. Simply put, PVC retains heat.

[@ravenheart369]

The reason for torsion beam was norhing but cost cutting

[@nayrbtft]

hi everyone, would like to know for those that drive the base model without the aircon vents in the rear, would that mean that the rear passengers not get any cooling "feels"? cheers! :)

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Small hatches actually small issue. Eventually the air will travel there maybe just a little later

[@ericchng5419]

2 thing they fail on this car design, first , the passenger aircon vent position are too low, if your height are 155 above, the vent will blow your knee, second, the center armrest they shuld make like benz, open on middle instead of slide back to open.

[@Gyuresssz]

We don't drive these cars in Europe with a family 😁 checked this car at the dealer and the room in the back is concerning, even with the cradle that we have.

[@nickloong]

For the price Mazda is asking for this car, it's an expensive vehicle for its class and segment given the fact that it has a torsion beam suspension set up at the back and a minimalist design interior that looks rather bland. As a package, it's nowhere near the Civic, bar the interior materials.
