Small Car Comparison Review : Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, Hyundai i30

[@jasonjimenez6327]

Mazda 3 all day....

[@eugn86]

The passengers will prefer the i30 but the drivers will love the Mazda 3. Now it all depends who has the final say in the car purchase. Passenger(s) vs Driver.

[@User-cb4jm]

I think for a small car like this, that’s likely driven on a solo daily commute to work, that matters far more than what the occasional rear seat passenger thinks. This isn’t a taxi, in that case a Camry would come out on top 😂

[@docgrimripper]

I'll take the red one

[@Drivecomau]

+docgrimripper - great choice!

[@andrewposa9295]

+docgrimripper and i the blonde one :-)

[@comedyman112]

i'll take that stupid beard off that child's face

[@wndlsrla6420]

hyundai kia toyota misubishi volvo sudden intended acceleration danderous cars

[@rylenhyron]

Hyundai i30 for me simply because of the big improvements that they have made over the years, that German (previous Audi TT) designer sure has a lot going for the Korean cars. The ride is comfortable and easy which is perfect for everyday use. Yes the Mazda 3 is the best to drive but their styling hasn't changed since kingdom come. Toyota Corolla is a thing of the past no matter how they modify their styling is the same in every other car that they have. Like mobiles and every other electronics, it seems that the Koreans are on a roll.

[@dandinofat]

"Mazda3/Their styling hasn't change since the kingdom come" Really..... do you really think that? Well in that case, the kingdom would have come just three years ago, in 2013 when the third generation of the model (with its brand new Kodo design) was launched; because the current car it's quite different from the one before, which came from the time when Ford owned this japanese company, and hence shared platforms among those two brands and Volvo, also owned by this USA company back then.

[@bobbyalexander]

Tim, How are you finding it back there? "Uh.. my hair doesnt fit."

[@alteclan2007]

Awesome video guys, keep them coming!

[@Drivecomau]

+alteclan2007 - thanks! Many many more to come!

came for the cars, stayed for dat hair

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Mazda takes another head-to-head. Great time to be involved with the company!

[@berniejaw6552]

Failed to mention is the characteristic of direct injection engine on mazda and i30, which is fuel efficient and powerful, BUT will suffer from carbon build up issue inside intake manifold after a few years. The cost to remove and clean the carbon inside intake manifold will set owners back approx $800 to $1000.

[@felixliew5553]

i love my mazda 3. full tank easily covered 600km(20% highway 80% town) n nice to drive too

[@hingholo8027]

petrol or diesel?

[@felixliew5553]

Petrol 2.0 skyactive G with 165ps

[@hingholo8027]

Felix Liew should of bought the sp25.

[@jialiu7971]

just bought Mazda 3 today!! really nice!

[@jeffdominic1453]

I liked the Mazda 3, but the space saver spare and absence of an engine temperature gauge were a deal breaker for me. Bought the i30 instead. Happy.

[@miatand1156]

Trust me, I've owned both and you made the best choice. Hyundais are amazing and mazda has lost it's reputation. Cheap quality, very troublesome and absolutely diabolical aftersales support. I made sure to tell them not only will never take my car to another service centre but I will never recommend mazda to anybody. If you want a mazda buy second hand and find an independent mechanic.I still have my 2006 Hyundai service at dearlership and it has been utterly reliable.

[@yakidin63]

Corolla been #1 since 2015. Still going strong.

[@aps5524]

Toyota Corolla just feels the most reliable and cheapest on parts as well as the comfort

[@AwsomeAdogFilms]

Mazda 3!! :D

[@waelmkaouar396]

Mazda3 > Corolla > i30.

[@lawrencepll76]

[@corinful]

Lawrence Lo Your joking right?

[@club1fan552]

Have driven Mazdas since the Mazda 1500 of the 60's. Beautiful cars and most models very easy to live with on a day to day basis. They are also usually the fastest cars in their class. Buy one!

[@fredzeppelin3969]

We still have a 1986 B2000 pickup in our family, having been passed down 2 generations. Yeah, it's slow at 80 HP (when new, at least), and it's tired. But it still runs and gets you where you're going.

[@videonaj]

If you didn't vote Mazda 3 best you would ave lost a lot of your audience. Car world knows driving pleasure can never be forgotten.

[@ninjareflex]

wtf is up with the caveman look. i find it hard to look at that guy

[@abheyverma2776]

The first thing i noticed 😂

[@Peno1992]

Good video. But the corolla wins. Servicing price by far is unbeatable. Toyota also tends to hold its value a little more than Mazda and a lot more than Hyundai.

[@Prodigalfather1]

The update 2015 Corolla auto Sports hatch with several 1000s of extras at the low price of $23990 on road, has won me. Then you have the fixed $140 service charge, half that of the Mazz! But i'll wait to buy in 2016 so at least when (if) I sell, I can advertise it as 1st reg'd 2016

[@justintran9134]

the civic hatch should be in this group. it's such an underrated car

[@tristanyoung4161]

All cars Are good and very reliable but the mazda is the most fun to drive.

[@xconankunx4530]

they should've put the Yamaha/vvtLi engine in the COROLLA, now that'll suit the styling. hit LIFT YO!

[@Fotosnegociosnet]

I am thinking about buying the Mazda 3 2.0 What do you guys think?

[@Drivecomau]

Has just become even better with 2016 update - read the review here: www.caradvice.com.au/466797/2016-mazda-3-review/

[@MyLife2020]

you are on right direction. mazda3 comes with rear multilink suspension which make ride soft and steering wheel rick onion will give you stright balance on Highway. I Owen i30 1.8L

[@Fotosnegociosnet]

going with the opel astra instead, got a good deal

[@fulledbyarm]

bad choice

[@Fotosnegociosnet]

Why bad choice?

[@andrewmckenzie4420]

I like the Corolla the best

[@richiesworld1]

This guy's rockin that birds nest!

[@steliosgerasimou5689]

I love my facelift mazda3♥️

[@pp312]

I'd pay the price of any of those cars just to watch that guy's head and face get shaved. There should be a law... As for the cars, I'll take the quietest one, which I believe is the i30.

[@c.i.a.4618]

pp312 The new Mazda 3 is even more quieter than that hyundai According to the dB TRUE👊👌

[@sonny4754]

So we should update this review with the new i30

[@AbuAmprayil]

Personally, I'd pick the Mazda 3 from this lot. However, I would consider a VW Golf over this trio. Admittedly it is pricier but it has a lot going for it, and that is correlated in sales as it also features in the top 10 (just). The addition of Carplay /Android Auto in the MY2016 model only enhances the Golf's appeal. Does the i30 come with android auto? How does the caradvice team rate the Golf against these 3?

[@hingholo8027]

carplay and aa are dumb.

[@1969cmp]

I really like the Mazda 3 except the rear leg room is a bit to small. i30, though 'she' has a heart for the Corolla.

[@lowelabala5775]

He is wolverine in real life... haha!

[@Crazywallyeats]

why is he complaining about the Mazdas blind spot monitoring beep alert? I have that car and you can turn it off. lol.

[@dandinofat]

Nice to know that it's possible. Is it an option too, to only see the visual alert from the blind spot, but without the beep sound?

[@henry3484]

+dandinofat I don't think so or haven't found a way to do that in my Mazda. I'm not sure why his kept going off. It only goes off i you use your signal when someone is in your blindspot and I doubt he would be doing that.

[@JohnDoe_x0]

Mazda 3 is good, but knowing there is an absolutely beautiful 6 doesn't let me to fully enjoy the 3.

[@sunshine8556]

2021 still impressed by the hair

[@MadDog-65]

Corolla everytime!! It's good for over half a million ks without any major worries the other two won't get anywhere near that.

[@LoudValves]

headroom ok ? how about hair room Tim ....?

[@lukuscannon9697]

They need to do this again now that they all have you models

[@TheAdventureAuto]

I'm with you guys! ;)

[@kcufdurttnuc5384]

what a fucking awesome lad, don't ever change your hairstyle!!

[@docgrimripper]

that's not considered a corrolla in the state's. it called the scion IM soon to change to the toyota IM. by next year 2017 lol

[@djizzah]

None of these cars will compete with the longevity, durability, reliability or re-sale of the Corolla. ..Fact

[@chrisquader3637]

Dunno mate i hope you are wrong as my wife and i have an i30 and an i40 respectively and i always said i would never own a Hyundai. I have had many Toyotas from my first 78 Corona to 6 more toyotas after that and they have proven bullet proof. So why i ask are Toyota only offering a 3yr 10,000km warranty compared to 5yr unlimited??. They make undoubtedly good cars and i can vouch for that personally but their lack of confidence in their product lost them two customers in my wife and i and now that i have family members who have driven our cars they are going to lose more potential buyers. Toyotas are great cars its about time they backed up that reputation.

[@djizzah]

They probably think their cars sell that well they dont need to offer longer warrantys but I agree with you, my missus' corolla just ran out of capped servicing and they wanted nearly twice what my neighborhood mechanic charges to change oil and filters once the warranty ran out at 60, 000 k's. I also have a '98 hilux ive owned since new with 400,000ks on it and in that time, not ONE issue!! :)

[@club1fan552]

My family have had the same Mazda vehicle for 41 years and only last year did the first major repair...Fact.

[@bayleydavis5553]

Toyota cant play the reliability card anymore. Mazda and hyundai and many other have come a long way. So toyota isnt as special anymore.

[@bikerman6907]

dji zzah agree, the reliability and service you get is really good! In my country, Norway, the only models selling well are hybrid versions of Yaris, Auris(Corolla) and Rav4. The former best seller, Avensis is completely out of the picture. But do have to say, that compared to Volkswagen, and almost everything else...the smaller Toyota models look sooooooo cheap, hard flimpsy plastic....😩

[@ulyssespayne5122]

[@neilraphaelmalanday9501]

[@nitishgoswami07]

Mazda 3

[@fundiver198]

Its funny, that you call these "small cars" in Australia. Toyota has the Aygo (Europe) / Wigo (Asia) and the Yaris / Vios sitting below its Corolla. Hyundai has the i10 and i20 / Accent sitting below its i30 / Elantra. For developing markets Hyundai even has an even smaller car called the Eon with a 0,8 liter 3-cylinder engine. Mazda skips on a really small car but still has its 2 sitting below the 3. So "small cars"? Well not REALLY considering, that they are only the 2. to 4. smallest cars in the total lineup of their manufacturers. In fact for hatchbacks these cars are enormous. And in my opinion so big, that it spoils their looks. Smaller hatchbacks can look really good, like the new Mazda 2, the Ford Fiesta, the Suzuki Swift, the Kia Rio, the Alfa Romeo Mito, the Mini, the Peugeot 208, the Renault Clio and many others. Even the Toyota Yaris or the Hyundai i20. But to be honest, all these 3 cars just seem a bit wrong to me, especially in red, and I actually think all of them look much better as a traditional sedan. Which would therefore be my choise, if I was going to buy any of them. "But a sedan is not as practical as a hatchback" some might say. And that is true. But only if you ignore the fact, that its bigger boot can accomodate much more luggage for your vacation. And if you really want practicality, then why not get a stationcar? In Europe both the Corolla (called Auris here) and the i30 is available as stationcars. And even they look better than the hatchbacks in my opinion. And offer a lot more practicality than either the hatchback or the sedan versions. What I am getting at here, is, that for me, huge hatchbacks like these are just a completely pointless type of vehicle. If you need space for a whole family, then why not make the vehicle 20 cm longer and turn it into a stationcar with much more room for your luggage for a very small added cost? And if you dont need space for a whole family, then why not make the vehicle smaller, so that it looks a lot better, is cheaper to buy and run, more fun to drive, uses less fuel and is easier to park in town? This whole class of vehicle for me sits between two chairs.

[@BomberFletch31]

+fundiver198 Firstly, these are small cars. Granted, small cars have grow dimensionally since a decade or two ago, but they are still, relatively, small cars. In Australia, we have the 'light' car class - where the i20, Yaris, Fiesta and the like fits in, but we don't have anything in the smaller class. Frankly, I think cars smaller than that are completely pointless. But I see your point re wagons. We have the Golf wagon and the i30 wagon here, but no Corolla wagon or Focus wagon. I drive by myself on most days, and my car is a Ford Fairmont. It's a sedan, with a 4.0 litre in-line six engine, and it's about the size of an E-class / 5 Series. I like having the room to stretch out, and the effortless power from the engine. I'm personally looking to down-size to a Mondeo, but I probably wouldn't go much smaller than that. I strongly disagree that smaller cars are more fun to drive. This may be true of hot hatches like the Fiesta ST, Focus ST, 208 GTi etc., but most small cars are gutless. Parking in town isn't a problem here, most car bays are more than big enough.

[@JulianKapa]

+BF31 There's micro cars below light cars.

[@jamieevans871]

+BF31 i love my corolla i wont go back to a falcon (big and comfortable i agree) or a commodore both iv had in the past however i love the fuel economy of the corolla and the power is ok for what it is i drive a manual and cost wise im done with big cars and to to guy above the hatch is a very useful car and not as ugly as a station wagon guess thats why they make so many types to suit every one

[@Armpit123]

Corrola wins design wise

[@super_slav91]

I could never own a mazda again, the A/C is just useless on them.

[@super_slav91]

*****​ yes, so weak that they shouldn't even advertise it as a/c, it's barely any cooler than just a fan, it lowers the temperature by like 3 degrees, and this has been in every Mazda I have been in, avoid Honda also, they are just as bad if not worse, not suitable for Australia, not even suitable for central Europe either that's how bad it is.
