My 2016 Touring 6 speed manual, with "package" (Bose and Sun roof) , bought with 8, 000 miles is SMOOTH. 2.0 liter not a big disappointment - SkyActiv smooths the torque a bit, 15 inch tires are a bit scrawny, but all told excellent.

As a professional CAD designer I can always tell when the car manufacturer depended too much on virtual modeling and not enough on life size clay models. On a CAD workstation, even the most experienced designers lose sense of scale and really can't say what the car will really look like under real lighting conditions. I'm sure a few design studios have played with and researched the virtual lighting conditions in their CAD and rendering software, but it's never quite as "real" as a an actual full size physical model sitting on pavement under the sun, or clouds, or a showroom floor. And YES, using your hands to sculpt an auto body is a much more direct and gratifying method than trying to assemble all the geometric constraints of a surface through point clouds, 2D & 3D sketches, lofts, and sweeps. The hand modeled surface nearly always has a more natural look than the CAD modeled one. In order to replicate that "Hand Modeled" look a CAD designer has to be able to envision the multitude of geometric changes happening all over the surface of an auto body and then figure out all the means that can be used to fool the CAD automation into generating what they desire. It's way more difficult in virtual reality than you would think; sculpting is just plain easier. Unfortunately, management sees CAD modeling as far cheaper than thousands of pounds of modeling clay. So guess what they pay for?

Yea that c-pillar is just too fat and blank on the hatch. And what's weird is youd think all that space is going to the hatch itself, except it doesnt really. Yea the sedan just looks sleek and slightly classy to me. Its simultaneously understated but also unique and that look can change depending on the lighting and angle more so than most other cars. I really want the 3 sedan in AWD. It is easily the top choice in the segment for me. Otherwise I'd have to get an Altima or Impreza if I want an AWD sedan to deal with northern Utah winters.

@@danr154 I prefer the hatch and so I bought it. The sedan is classy and truly looks like a baby 6 so why not just buy a 6? The hatch is a standout that will turn heads. Savage Geese (another good car review channel on here) says he took the Mazda3 AWD hatch 2 miles off road in deep packed snow before it got stuck. Big Ford trucks sent to rescue them got stuck trying to get to them. That sounds pretty capable to me.... I didn’t buy this vehicle for AWD per se but living in IL I just may use it!

After owning 2 Subarus-a 2000 Legacy Outback wagon that lasted nearly 295,000 miles despite having two head gasket replacements, and a 2016 Forester that was totaled by a violent windstorm last May (I miss my Fozzie😢), I purchased a 2018 Mazda 3. I love this car. The six speed auto was one of the deciding factors in buying this car. Subaru needs to step up to the plate and dump the POS CVT and off a 9 speed automatic transmission. Until then, I am sticking with Mazda.

For me personally I've always felt like seeing something in person is a lot different than seeing an image of it, so I actually do believe that their heavy use of physical models plays into how their vehicles look in person. For me personally Lexus is kind of close to the futuristic fluid looking vehicles I think look good, but the more basic looking Mazdas with less creases in the panels and more streamline headlights just look more timeless to me.

Folks excited about the new awd option, let me make some technical points to make you reconsider. Fwd vehicle with winter tires is safer in the snow than awd with all seasons. Here are the main determiners of safety in the snow: the ability to drive through deep snow without getting stuck, cornering grip, stopping distance , acceleration off the line, high-speed stability, climbing up slippery hills. Winter tires help with all 6, because they give you much better mechanical grip in all situations. Awd only helps with 3 because it does absolutely nothing to improve grip. For this Mazda3, awd adds 200lbs, cuts fuel economy by 2-3 mpg and forces you to pay $3k more. The car has 186hp and a we’ll sorted suspension - you’ll have to try very hard to make it torque steer or spin the tires. So, forget the tv ads that drilled awd safety into your heads - you’ve been misled. Save you freaking money, buy the lighter, quicker, more efficient fwd and a set of winters if you need them. Awd makes low-power cars worse, not better.

FrostyCoug I agree. I went from an Audi A4 to a latest gen vw Passat. I run dedicated ice/snows on the Passat and over last 2 seasons I have not experienced an appreciable drop in winter driving performance. AWD has the slight advantage with traction on steep hills or deeper snow.

WoodshavenPatriot True. My wife drives a 2016.5 CX-5 Sport awd. She drove through last winter on stock, all-season Yokohamas. I second that awd helped to get the car going in the snow even on all-seasons. It got off the line pretty quick and that somewhat helped turn-in, in a point-and-shoot kind of way, but the lack of stability, lateral grip and confident stopping made her nervous. For this winter I bought her a set of Blizzaks. The car is a tank now. It stops on a dime and turns in the snow like on dry pavement. It gets off the line even faster. Wife is now super confident driving in any weather. I myself drive a fwd compact car with snow tires. It doesn’t get going quite as quickly, but I have just as much control and confidence in it. So, I won’t say that awd has no benefit; it just isn’t worth it for this Mazda3, all things considered. The only advantage is better acceleration in the snow that you’ll enjoy a few times each year, but the penalties of higher purchase price, lower fuel economy, more weight, slower acceleration, more expensive tire maintenance will be with you every day.

The sedan is WAAAAY more beautiful than the hatch, and well as cheaper and with more usable space.

Just go to Canada to buy one. We have a manual on every single trim (other than top of the line sedan and AWD variants), is better equipped (heated steering wheel, backup sensors, auto diming exterior mirrors) and cheaper

Nathan, I have to agree with you on liking the sedan better. I have two family members who have a Mazda 3. One is a 2008 sedan and the other is a hatchback from the same generation (don't remember the year). I definitely like the hatchback better when choosing between those two but with this new 2019 model, I'd definitely go with the sedan. The hatchback looks almost like a teardrop shape. It looks completely round in the back with no distinctive edges. Maybe I'd have a different view if I saw it in person, but these are my first impressions of seeing the car.
