Worst infotainment system with that rotary/dial in the auto industry, touchscreen needed quick pass........

[@vah618]

Sorry, you don't like the rotary. After getting used to it, I somewhat like it. Touch screens are more modern, although I've had some issues with them in other cars I've owned. maybe they will change this, but i have a 2024. and rotary is still in the new vehicles. not sure if there's an option with the other trims.

Very helpful for me since I have the select which is basically the lowest. Since I just bought it used (2022 hatchback ) so just learning the features. I love this car. My favorite ever.

A good looking car design has staying power. I just bought the hatchback and although some car reviews are starting to say its showing its age, I love the design so much I could care less what they think. I will probably dislike the next generation's design by comparison.

[@mutahir2002]

Thanks @DisneyMusicVideos

[@Boring2u]

Great detailed and informative video! Unless I am missing something, I'd like to say that I purchased this exact model and want everyone know that it comes with a 6 speaker system, unless you upgrade to the Bose system. I was unaware of this and pretty disappointed when I realized 2 days after getting the car that there are NO speakers in the back. There are speaker covers on the inner back doors, but nothing behind them. No wires, harnesses or anything. It sounds great for what it is, and the EQ has a rear/front setting so it is possible to add speakers. My dealer quoted it but it was over $1,000 to do so through them. I could go to an audio shop, but the warranties for anything they alter would be voided. I am still very pleased to have upgraded to this from my 2015 Mazda 3 iTouring and am loving it. Just throwing in my two cents. Thanks for the video!!

[@Zeek509]

The small windows in the hatchback is so much harder to see out of especially in the D pillar. The six speed is definitely tried & true but can go over over 3500 RPM in hilly areas at times.

[@christianbryant5617]

Mazdas are definitely known for their heavy steering. It’s definitely a unique trait for the brand..

[@oligarchy-usa]

If I was going to buy a sedan in the U.S. market it would be a Mazda3 of some sort, but after buying my first Crossover a few years ago (a 2022 CX-30 CE) I have become spoiled by the more sensible (higher) vehicle ground clearance, the elevated seating/viewing position it offers, & the hatch versatility.

[@ezeess7239]

[@oligarchy-usa]

@@ezeess7239 Only relevant if you need a backseat for hauling people regularly & comfortably, in which case that size segment isn't something you should be shopping in the first place.

[@jbm0866]

In that case you want a CX-30 which is essentially a lifted Mazda 3. The downside is it will cost you a bit more and you're less likely to get a good deal since the CX-30 outsells the 3 by quite a bit.

[@vah618]

I just inquired about the preferred trim, and was also told by my sales person. He checked for rear speaker sound in the preferred, and the CX 3. No rear speakers. Apparently this is no error. Mazda purposely didn't put rear speaker in some of these vehicle when they were building them. It's almost like you have to buy a premium to get everything. Good luck. Check the fader out for the rear speakers in the preferred before you buy. Don't want you to be disappointed. I don't think there are any in the 2024. Go by the dealership and test one. Still a nice car though. Keep me posted.

The color is a winner. i dont see many platinum quartz sedans on the road just yet but i do see the SUV's. its a 2024. im sure that soon ill see more of color on the road. The white color is beautiful also. Its not white. forgot the color name. I traded my 2023 Honda Civic for the Mazda. I had just purchased it 6 months ago brand new. I had the EXL model, leather seats and all. I loved everything about the Honda except, hondas bucket seats gave me back aches because the of the seat being so low, and no lower back support. Mazdas seat were designed with comfort, also the clearance is a little higher. Theres a huge difference when getting in and out of my car. Also i didn't have blind spot monitoring,or rear cross traffic alert in the honda. So far i Love my Mazda. Are you going to get one?

The 6-speed is fine, but feels sluggish in its shifts. Dare I say a CVT, 8, or 10-speed would all be great options. Small company, so I understand, but to bring in more money, they need to appeal to a larger audience that uses their cars for a. variety of things. Interior space is huge.

They could’ve did more for the inside but the outside is nice

I just purchased the same car in Ceramic Metallic. A beast dressed in Armani clothes

[@johnkonde1975]

Congratulations! How much did you pay for it? Are you in Dallas too?

[@ary8996]

"reasonably sized adults" 😂😂😂

[@hoosierproud7718]

Why does the doors look like it's dented? Otherwise very nice

[@ezeess7239]

meh, i'm not really impressed. My 2017 touring model even had heated seats and power driver seat settings and the car only cost me 21k. 25k still just seems mind boggling for lower trim sedans. guess thats the age we're living in now

[@johnkonde1975]

The cheapest base trim 2024 Corolla LE gasoline sedan will end up costing you 25k and that looks way cheaper than this Mazda 3. This is the new normal unfortunately. No more cheap cars. People are paying 20k for a new 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage with 78 hp!!

[@user-jr1cs6ob3m]

This car sounds exactly like my 15 Chev Malibu

[@PedroRamirez23769]

buen video

[@edr3774]

Any chance of getting a 2024 Subaru Impreza RS review ?

[@2004cyrus]

You don’t want that car

[@4orrcountry]

​@@2004cyrus ...because?

[@ksorsomeplace]

I doubt it is going to feel like you got a good deal with the turbo that comes in at ~$36,000. A heckuva an upcharge (not unique to Mazda). But, the question is, how much is a zing above "average" worth?

[@ezeess7239]

it's not worth it unless you want a huge hit to mpg and are constantly passing people on the highway.

[@GregoriusSu]

Wow how come mazda 3 has the same cabin noise like civic sport? I thought the mazda cabin would be quiet like camry or accord

[@2004cyrus]

It is quiet

[@oceanlover3530]

Mine rides super quiet but I have the mid-level trim. Not sure if that makes a difference. ✌🏻✌🏻

[@shaunsimpson6475]

No turbo in uk is so annoying 😢

[@onyxtraveler]

How are the blind spots?

[@4orrcountry]

Good on the Sedan, poor on the Hatchback.

[@cameraz99]

Does the Mazda have rear fog lights, heated front *and* rear seats, heated sideview mirrors and windshield-washer nozzles, 3-zone HVAC, built-in DVD-video, CD and SD card players, 12-way power seats for driver and passenger, 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen speaker system, etc.? My 2017 Audi A4 does.

[@johnkonde1975]

Your Audi will also have $5000 of repairs in the next 3 years

[@cameraz99]

@@johnkonde1975 -- No, because I'm trading it in for the next generation, which will be out this year. Eight years without a major problem is pretty good.

[@Jrjrjrjrjrjrj]

Not having the leatherette seats heated is such a cheap omission. I’d rather have smaller wheels.

[@dinamicasvisuales]

Pongan la caja manual y la suspensión independiente. Eso lo haría un sedán diferente.

[@leroy5202]

$429 for the window tint! Wth, that is pricey I got ceramic tints for my 6 it was $400 for every window, including the windshield.

[@ezeess7239]

id like to see a redesign, hopefully in 2026
