We've just bought one of these in the UK, engine specs are different for us, 2.0ltr skyactiv x gt sport. Exact same colour and interior, we also looked at ford, Honda and Toyota but the interior and features with the mazda just seemed so much more premium. Some people aren't sold on the looks for some reason but i think it's such a beautiful no fuss design.

I've had a 21 since oct of 21. I agree with the piano black complaint. Sometimes in the freezing winter the windows will lock up despite the car having been on and warmed up for a while. Occasionally the keyless entry doesn't want to work and I have to fish my key out of my pocket, it seems randomly intermittent. Ive got the turbo so the tank is a little over 10 gallons, I've got like a 240 mile range on average but I drive mostly city. Besides my minor complaints I'm really loving the car.

Hated having run flats in my town with terrible roads. Done a few commutes and a 3 hour each way roadtrip in the 3 and it is terrific. As for the piano black, I’ve ordered the protective film from mikstore. See how it works when I get. I do wish we could more readily get the red dash with the red seats in the US.

Hi Ryan I want your opinion, I’m thinking to buy my first Mazda. And I don’t know if to go for the Mazda 3 Hatch 2024 o the Mazda 3. It is worth the price difference? For what I understood in my region (United Arab Emirates) they are selling a 2.0L version for the higher trim, the engine is the same for both 153 HP @ 6000 RPM. The price for the sedan is 24k usd and for the hatch 30.5k. What would you do in my situation? I think the only difference is that in the hatch you get the apple car play and heated and climate controlled seats. (Which here in the UAE because of the hot weather we don’t use heated seats)
@agustinp767617 күн бұрын
Hi, I see a lot of people with the sedans and they love it but personally I think the hatch is a much much better option. The exterior is much better looking while also being more usable.

I had a Mazda 3 of that generation. It was a great car. Rust was an issue though and the engines were Ford motors.

I like everything about the Mazda3 hatch except the weird, bulbous styling & super-thick pillars towards the rear & how awful it looks from various angles. I went with the CX-30 instead, since it looks better to me & I've come to love the elevated ground clearance & seating position of my first crossover. It's also my first automatic transmission after 40 years of driving nothing but manuals, & I do somewhat miss the absolute control & more-fun-to-drive-feeling provided by a manual transmission.

Hi, I see a lot of people with the sedans and they love it but personally I think the hatch is a much much better option. The exterior is much better looking while also being more usable. You also get much more premium options I'm pretty sure. Plus I love how the hatch has all the chrome blacked out. Hopefully that helped a little bit!
@@Ryan.Kooper thank you so much for your time, yes I love how the hatch looks. I will go for that one for sure!
What are the squeaking sounds? Also, do you experience any rattlings?
when driving a manual car you have to play musical chairs with your feel because of the clutch pedal, when that pedal is wet there is a lot of squeaking from the rubber pedal/rubber shoe.. No rattling noticed
@@Ryan.Kooper Ahh that makes sense! Sorry, I thought it was an automatic! I think I'm in love with this car!
Unfortunately my 08 Lexus IS js being written off but planning on getting this car! Debating if I should the turbo or the NAS?
I'm not the OP, but the 2.5 NA Mazda 3 engine and transmission combined with the long gearing reminds me so much of the IS300, it's actually an extremely close driving feel. I have driven a friend's IS a lot and it blew me away how close it felt
@@EdwardJoy ok that's great to hear. Lexus's smooth driving is hard to beat. I test drove the hatch last week and it felt amazing.
how do you do that play of light with the headlights? what should I press?
I think I just locked or unlocked im not sure haha
It is a premium but doesnt have AWD or turbo? Thought tje premium trim is always AWD and turbo.
The GT is the highest trim and manual. I wouldn't want turbo or AWD personally.
@@Ryan.Kooper ok, manual.
@@gmo709 ya I’m all about getting the best fuel economy haha
so i'm confused, do you actually like the car?
check the comment under yours
driving past chicopee i see lol!
I live rather close haha
I have the skyactiv x gt sport tech, great car, but not the best to see out of.
Sorry youre not enjoying
I’m poor, would a Mazda 3 2008 be good? Or should I stick to Honda/toyota?
I would go Honda/toyota. Mazda used to be owned by for until 2013ish. So I would be very cautious with late 2000s Mazda.
I have drive my mazda 3 from 2005 to around 400k, then i have upgraded to a mazda 3 from 2017. I got no problems at all, just do all the manufacter maintenance in time.
I had a Mazda 3 of that generation. It was a great car. Rust was an issue though and the engines were Ford motors. The 2.0s were more reliable than the 2.3s in that generation but I can't remember why. If you find a good one and are willing to risk some potential reliability for a better drive then don't feel bad getting a 3.
is it a torsion rear suspension?
I believe so but It feels great I was surprised after reading about the 3
Yes it is
Looking at the roads you're driving I'd want to feel less of them! Ouch.
Ok
Whats the model bro? Mazda 3 GT?
Yes sir the GT
@@Ryan.Kooper finish level? Spirit or Black Edition?
I like everything about the Mazda3 hatch except the weird, bulbous styling & super-thick pillars towards the rear & how awful it looks from various angles. I went with the CX-30 instead, since it looks better to me & I've come to love the elevated ground clearance & seating position of my first crossover. It's also my first automatic transmission after 40 years of driving nothing but manuals, & I do somewhat miss the absolute control & more-fun-to-drive-feeling provided by a manual transmission.
Different strokes different fokes I had a cx30 for rent before I bought this and it felt so cheap. for example the heads up display was nothing compared to the mazda 3 I feel the cx30 is a good budget option for sure but it doesnt fit my lifestyle as well as this new purchase. for some reason I think the cx30 feels like a vw beetle haha idk why
I actually love the style of the hatch. The c pillar is the best part now that blind spot monitoring is a thing.
Does it have enough power?
It does but it’s not a quick car by any means haha but that’s what my bikes for
I like it, I think I will get one or a CX30. But there are two things that I do not like from it... It´s that you don´t have a great visibility and the leather on it, it´s not real. If you feel real leather and then you try again with Mazda it feels cheap.
I disagree but everyone will feel differently about it. Ive owned S model audis and this leather feels better than that stuff IMO.
Any rattles or squeeks?
Eventually they will all squeak and rattle.
Just bought a Mazda3 premium hatchback 6spd MT. Love it! Traded in my 2021 Honda HR-V EX FWD which was a great car. Smile on my face every time I get in.
@@ebmk96 I know the feeling :) such an amazing daily!
Nope nothing yet, I do tend to listen to music pretty loud tho :)
I can't wait to see the 2025, if it's better I will trade it in. I hope they don't change for the worst, but if so... I'll keep this one.😎
2024 Mazda3 Hatchback 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus Exterior Color: Machine Gray Metallic AWD. MSRP $38,885 . I'll take a 2024 Civic Hatchback Touring 6 speed manual over this over priced Mazda, any day....
And who’s stopping you from doing that?😂 You probably prefer cheap underwhelming eco boxes so you have the right mindset! Good job Mike
The non-turbo non-AWD Mazda 3 cost the same as a Civic, but they are much nicer I’m surprised since you like Civics so much you didn’t see what his previous car was, or what car his buddy owns…
Im fuking in love with this car! its unique, so unique
but why wouldnt you chose red? its like a big extra
@@Andr_W_ Personally I don't like red cars my favorite color on vehicles is this grey. But I do think the red looks great!
@@Ryan.Kooper me too, only mazda red haha
The soul crystal red is the only red, red-haters actually like. Imagine being that nice looking!
@@Andr_W_it's the dearest paint in the UK. £825 extra.
