Mazda 3 sport - So underrated?

[@ozhoneybadger]

Had a Mazda 3 1.6 for 8 years. Superb reliablity and amazing drive quality. You won't be disappointed. Never had any engine issues. Only few suspension ones cos the previous driver was going crazy.

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

Luckely thats fixable

[@pascalkok3389]

Just got one myself for almost a month now and I really love it

[@MEGAMAZ13]

Do you prefer it over a VW Golf?

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

Wouter doesn't, but Frank does 🙂

[@TheStruggleSneakercollector]

picking one up next month. same colour same specs! Put a reserve on it today, so coincidental. Finally a Dutch page of this sorts. Great camera work and story telling. Going to check the other vids as we speak. keep it up!

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

Great to hear, hope you enjoy it!

[@superdooper9200]

Hows the car, did you get it??

[@superdooper9200]

Brilliant video 👍🏻 I own one of these cars and it drives superb with a good reliable 2.0 16 valve engine producing 150 hp which is more than ample, I've never had any problems with the engine 🤞🏻 handling is great round corners and really grips the road with 17" five spoke alloys as standard on the sport. equipment is great, it's got everthing, automatic wipers, air conditioning, electric windows front and back, remote central locking, Sorts seats, cruise control,Bose 6 CD multichanger with 6 Bose speakers which sounds amazing, the only thing it hasn't got is sat nav but has everthing else, I was surprised at that amount of good quality equipment that it comes with.... Great to drive with good midrange power ( 3rd gear and it's off we go.....lol) and very quiet ticking over with a really good gear box, its a pleasure to change gear.... An all round great car with high speck for a reasonable price......my recommendation is Buy one!

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

It's great bang for buck indeed 😁👍

@@DrivenbyDrivers indeed my friend, I couldn’t be more happy with it…..thanks for a real and trually honest review of this car, respect my friend 🤘🏽

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

You're welcome 👍

[@laur5614]

a classmate of mine drives one of these(except that his is a 1.6D, and he even recommended me to get a petrol version). I must say that i fell in love with mazda 3, i really like the body and design, and now the 2.0 turbo is my dream first car

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

As our title says, they are so underrated! We think its one of the better hatchbacks we drove.

[@agostinog]

I still have the same car, same color, Sport Limited with 6MT, bought new at the end of 2008, and it's still great and funny to ride. And not a single problem in all these years, it's a tank.

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

And that's another reason why it's better than a Golf

[@Streetl3gal]

Nice car! Still searching for those side skirts myself! Very nice camera work halfway through the episode!!

[@for1t]

Nice vid dude!! I have the same version 2009 Mazda 3 2.0 Spec R (chilean homologation with speed3 type fog lights) with Corksport exhaust and induction around 170hp surprisingly does 0-100 in 7.x seconds, people often ask me if it is stock lol

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

Thanks, enjoy it, they're good 👍

[@AJayAnswersYou]

More on this car, please and thank you.

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

We might revisit it in the future, but for now we got some nice and fresh content coming

[@tamasszorcsik5473]

Mine is a 2007 2.0l sport! It has the cruise control,auto level xenon headligths,and an amazing amount of rust on the subframe! 😫 Must be the English weather!

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

If you treat the bottom with a proper rust protector and coating you will have a very good and reliable car for a long time 🙂

I’m buying the 2010 petrol 2.0 and can’t wait🎉

[@camilomartinez4304]

I was lucky enough to get a Mazda 3 2.3l version for 2700 USD but the car was beaten up a lot but it was extremely worth it to restore it

[@njonesyauto]

i’m currently 18, just passed my test and i’m able to get insured on a mazda 3 2.0 for £1450 a year or a 1.6 for £1250 year. current mazda 3 owners, what do you think?

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

2.0 is well worth it imo. Not that the 1.6 is bad, but it's gauranteed more smiles per gallon in the 2.0.

[@njonesyauto]

@@DrivenbyDrivers yeah tbh the difference in insurance prices isn’t even that bad

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

[@milossmiljanski9547]

I bought recently,2.0 150hp 2006 the engine is noisy, it works nicely, but I don't like the noise from the engine, it has some vibrations ...

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

We think it does add to the experience of this car

[@for1t]

The engine is noisy (2.0/2.3/2.3T). Right engine mount, failure after 10 years, it is considered to replace

[@crazycontent2156]

Dose it come with the adjustable coil-overs?

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

Not from factory no. It's a aftermarket set

[@crazycontent2156]

@@DrivenbyDrivers do you know which brand they are? I have been looking at some Jom ones.

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

@@crazycontent2156 I believe it was from AP. They felt pretty good.

[@SamuSniperSpain]

The car of the video is the 2.0l and 150 cv?

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

Yep, that's correct.

Heeft u last van roest etc?

[@DrivenbyDrivers]

Bij deze auto was het gelukkig tijdig preventief behandeld waardoor het minimaal is, maar dit model is er wel gevoelig voor.

[@arad907]

That’s exactly the problem with Mazda3. It just want you to speed 😅😅. I’ve never been able to drive mine like a responsible citizen 😂😂
