Compact cars these days have always been known as that bland-mobile that you get from your local rental agency. However Mazda thinks differently and it only takes one drive of their compact Mazda 3 to understand why. They say "Driving Matters", but does it really? Watch our review to find out!

As of now, its body still looks beautiful & stylish.

One of the best Mazda review compared to the 13 videos I’ve seen. thank you ❤️

Mazda has clearly upped its game not only with the excellent SUVs but also the other lines - particularly the Mazda3

One of the best reviews I saw in a while. You sold me on this car. Can't wait to buy it in a couple of months. 😁😁😁😁

26:12 Those dual cupholders on the enginecover did it for me... I'M BUYING!

[Kingthin]

We got our ‘18 M3 GT and love it! I have had 4 Mazda’s since 2001 and they are the best cars

The Kodo design language has been a massive boost to the overall appreciation of the brand with it fans - and potential buyers who may drive other makers models.

For all those asking about CarPlay and Android Auto, it is now available for all Mazdas from 2014 onwards as a 400 dollar dealer installed option as long as you have Mazda connect which was typically available on touring and grand touring trims.

Aw man, I wish that subtle body kit were more widely available. I have a 3S-GT as well, but VERY FEW 3s have that kit, and it really does a lot for the car.

This car looks way better than the A3 by Audi in my opinion. Offering more for less. Mazda makes beautiful vehicles

[davidmcc]

Thanks, mate. Really good review. I'll tell Mazda in Melbourne you sold me.

I just got the hatchback version of this car, for anyone curious about the heated steering wheel; be warned to avoid disappointment. It heats very nicely and feels great BUT it is not the entire wheel. It only covers the "10 and 2" areas of the steering wheel. If you like to drive with one hand at the 12 o'clock position or at the bottom of the wheel they will not be heated.

[someguy]

The basic visual design came out in 2014? It doesn't seem old at all. Appearance wise, this car will age well.

I have the 2015 S GT, the only gripe I have is the lifted truck wheel gap look. Soon to be remedied with CorkSport lowering springs and rear camber adjusters. The interior gets many compliments as people that sit inside compare it to something higher end/priced than a Mazda 3. Hwy average mileage 38mpg. No issues with car. Paint is very durable, clear coat very tough. Suspension; high speed dampening very jarring, not the car going high speed, the rate of speed of the upward travel of the suspension going over short length but tall road imperfections, such as a train track rail slightly above the asphalt. Low speed/frequency dampening very good. I did replace the fog lights with 5000k LEDs to match the color of the HID low beams and replaced the license plate lights with LED's to give a clean look . I agree with GrandPrixGTP02's review. Very fair.

[gabrielroom]

Very nice review, thanks! I also like the Mazda series as it's a very good price for such a high level of detailing and luxurious, of course it can't compare to the cars that cost double or more of the prices.

[Rangvald]

My 2018 mazda 3 will be delivered in another 2 weeks... I can't wait

[namelessjr]

Bruh!! Your reviews are so good! Very informative

[eden]

An updated key fob tf?! That key fob looks badass what you talking about, certainly much more modern than my Nissan key fob

[gregcrezee]

I bummed you have the automatic. Mazda.. Stands for manual only. They are a completely different vehicle. IMHO. I have that exact vehicle. But I took mine to another level. I black plasti dipped the front chrome Mazda label, the chrome that runs underneath the front end. Also, the chrome that runs along the doors. The HD antenna, the rear fin, all 3 chrome pie es on the back end. And believe it or not, I did the gas cover. It makes the car pop so much more than standard. If you really look at your review model. It's mostly white and chrome. Toe that said... Dull. Great vid, thanks.

I have the 2017 GT hatch 6 spd, fully loaded, love it! I was also pleasantly surprised by the BOSE which sounds pretty good actually and I am very critical of car audio system, many of the stock units sound downright awful but this one is good - tight clean bass with no distortion :)
