Love it. It’s refreshing to see reviewers take time to show lower and base trims in reviews. Thanks for the content!

Still looks amazing even 6 model years later. I would for sure buy one if I was shopping for a small car.

Thank you for covering the sedan because every review video is of the hatchback which nearly NOBODY buys and its so frustrating trying to find content on the sedan.

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!!

Mazda makes excellent cars at any price point! I have a 2018 Mazda 3 Grand Touring with all options on it. It’s like a Lexus and handles amazing! Great review!

I had a 2005 that went 480, 000 KM, now my 2016 is at 240, 000 KM. No major repairs or issues. The 2005 had rust issues. The 2016 needed a maser cylinder around 200, 000 KM and the mirrors for some reason have a weird kinda rust like markings under them I have to keep using compound on. Best value car you can buy.

Really tempted to pick one up. Thanks for the detailed review fellas

When it comes to transmissions in this car class, 90% of them all have CVT. Mazda is the only one and one Kia Forte model have automatic transmission. Any downshifting lag can be fixed by using the Sport mode button.

25k is very impressive. A 2024 lexus rx doesn't have led turn signals unless you go for higher trims.

[christopherwilson]

I just bought one. It’s an insane value. Only downsides so far are super stiff suspension. Not a smooth ride but good lord the interior is on par with German sedans

[LilOtter]

Just bought a 2024 mazda 3 Select Sport brand new 0 miles for 23999 out the door. Msrp 26.2k I talked the dealer down since its end of the month lol

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.

4:30 TSR (Traffic Sign Recognition) can be had by adding a Map SD card on all trims! I made a review on this on my channel

[petek]

Nice to see they haven't killed the buyers with ridiculously inflated prices... i bought a 2019 new for the same price... sold it 2 years later to to carvana for 22450

[babychelf]

I absolutely love how my base 2020 3 hatch doesn’t have that piano black on the center console, it’s only around the gear shifter.

[AlexTheeGrt]

I'd like to get a Mazda. I'm thinking it's between a Mazda CX-5 or the Mazda3. Also, I'm just waiting it out to see the CX-70's reveal on Jan 30th. I'm certain it's gonna be the CX-60 sold elsewhere

[luis.capsalot]

Great video, guys! This Mazda 3 looks very sinister in that color ! Love it !!!

[rogerspalding]

Guys, I have never been to Kentucky. Since you are in Lexington, you've must have been to the Derby? However, you certainly make Kentucky look beautiful. Never knew it was so scenic.

[braetonwilson]

Great review of a gorgeous sexy car! The only cons I can see are the cylinder deactivation tech in every naturally aspirated Mazda 3, the complaints of the Mazda 6 speed auto gear hunting in low speeds, excessively heavy steering at low speeds, and poor visiility due to small windows
