I just really need Mazda to make a hybrid CX-30 and Mazda 3 already. 200 HP and 45 MPG would be just so absolutely golden

The littlest Muzio steals the show "remember I'm back here".

[kyrosmike]

Starting to think mazda is only new car that isn't junk these days

[OrdinaryGK-SF]

Mazda3 owner here. It's a great car. The only negative I have is rear seat legroom, of which there is none if you're an adult. Fortunately, I rarely have rear seat passengers, but if I did, this would be a real problem. Otherwise, it's awesome. A very overlooked car in the segment.

Mazda makes an amazing vehicle! I am still in love with my 2018 Mazda 3 GT. Amazing car! Premium interior and handling amazing! No complaints. I agree- this car is not for families. Nor do market it for families. More like for one person in their 20s/30s without kids. This generation is beautiful and upmarket interior for sure!

[kimochi]

I still think 4door sedans make perfect "family car". Classic elegant looking. Much better driving dynamics. Save money on fuel.
If the kids outgrow the back seats, get a minivan.
Let's be real, nobody goes off-road in a car-based unibody SUV/crossover.
Sadly everybody wants an SUV these days.

There must be some conspiracy amongst all automakers to put that shiny black plastic in all the places where they are most likely to get scratched, dirty and collect fingerprints.

Yes, a Kiddo car in the hatchback version...perfect for those college years!

[harmonybat]

I have a 2010 Mazda Mazda3 (by Mazda) and she is still going strong. While I still miss the Mini I had before her, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one.

[parnpichate]

I bought the premium hatchback stick shift in soul red crystal metallic. I've had the car for 8 months and still love it! Best in class exterior aesthetic and the interior is equally as nice. The Bose sound system is awesome too.

[adamsmith]

I just bought Mazda 3 2.5 S Premium last month and love it . Sold my beloved Mini Paceman S for the Mazda .

[kzps]

Great little car BUT I hate how high the window line is versus the seat height. It's like a Camaro in how you feel like you're sitting way down in a tub.

[flimgenco]

At the rate Kiddo Muzio is growing, she’s gonna be driving age 3 videos from now.

[steelgray]

I bought 2019 Mazda in 2020 for my oldest daughter as she was graduating college. it has served her and my younger daughter well and I am always surprised how affordable the service cost are compared to the BMWs we have had for years.

[bblacha]

I've bought the hatchback version for my teenage kiddo. But until she needs it, I am driving it because I like it! It feels light and quick and is very fuel-efficient. I agree about the steering, though; it is heavy and vague. The visibility to the front is great, with narrow pillars; to the back you've got cameras and sensors so it's fine. Perfect size and safety for a new driver, but would have been too small for a family car.

[MBisFrenchy]

Top Safety Pick Plus is the best part.

[CaptainBlitz]

yeah most people either call it a Mazda3 or Mazda 3

[nfugitt]

I love the look of the interior and exterior, but I have three major issues with the hatch model: rear visibility, cargo room, and lack of a touchscreen. If they could improve these for the next model, I'll probably be in

[KazeKanajima]

Great video. Wish could have look at the hatchback version since it style like no other. Mazda tends to have little legroom for the back passenger but easier for the driver to grab stuff from the back. I have a first gen mazda 3 and mazda have been following the same formula.
