2024 Mazda 3 Sedan High Review – The Best, By Far | #Review

The Mazda 3 is often overlooked in the C-segment, largely due to its premium price positioning in the space. Compared to the evergreen Toyota Corolla and the more youthful Honda Civic, the Mazda 3 cuts a more mature, more serious jib – and better for it. With a presentation that feels like a step above the other C-segment competitors and within spitting distance experience-wise to premium brands, the Mazda 3's 2024 refresh affirms its position as the best among the rest.

As an owner of a 2016 Mazda 3 let me share my experience after 108 K of driving this car. I am a senior and drive gently. Max speed I used was 120km / hr only.
Let me start with what has failed thus far
1. Both left and right retractable side mirrors
2. Front and rear suspension system alot of clunking around 90 k onwards so had to change all links, bushes, arms at a cost of 5 k +.
3. Engine mount on the lh gbox side failed..changed at a cost around 1k.
4. Front suspension change incl mounts around 2.3 k.
5. Belt tensioner change due leak ...around 500
6. Top gasket replaced due leak.

Actually the ride was stiff from the beginning. But, I recently purchased a Corolla, that car handles equally without the Mazda like feeling of the stiffness.
The engine is not powerful. It's tuned for fuel efficiency instead..quite ironic bearing the still suspension.
The last point is the maintenance provider Mazda. They never answer calls, are expensive, seems jaded, never answer calls and lack empathy. They don't care anymore.
Now the car only has a 35 k resale to dealers so i have resolved to keep it.

I do not mean any ill intent to any party, but thought just to share my experience.

"... and then those who don't enough money are now talking about the Proton S70"

Holy moly Aiman woke up that day and chose unbridled violence 🤣

[RichLifeMY]

[kleeokraden]

[SathishKumar-jylu]

Headroom leeway wow your english command is awesome❤

[thiamchoywong]

You should round up with long term issues of maintenance costs and reliability.

[charlesa]

I like this review 👍👍
And I like Mazda
but a bit disappointing, the passenger seat is not powered.

I just bought a 2024 machine grey Mazda 3 sedan. It has a Skyactive 2.5 liter engine. I'm still getting used to it, because my previous car was a 2005 Toyota Carolla S. My big beef is that modern cars don't have CD players. I dislike listening to the inane chatter on radio.

[baraqcun]

I'll still go for the Honda Civic 2.0L Hybrid. It's an awesome car to drive.

Would love to see you guys review the "updated" cx5 and see how it stacks up in 2024 against its current rivals

[armandocardenas]

I own the 2024 Select Sport 2.5 AT in Ceramic Metallic.

[blakespower]

thats interesting Malaysia still gets the 2.0 engine while in the USA we get the 2.5 engine

[harizwakdeen]

it is 100% assembled in Japan . That is Special

[mahen_ak]

mazda 3 or civic ehev in terms of handling?

[queenII]

aiman, do you guys have a cx3 review coming up?

[mohdfitriazahramohdkhairi]

Hi Aiman. In terms of handling and body roll, which one is better? Sedan or hatchback?

[xervexczymycur]

Love the 6-speed but I think this Mazda still has the torsion beam design for the back suspension.

[leejr]

It’s rather confusing here. I thought I might hear Aiman said best salon car was Toyota Corolla GR lol 😅pick one, mate.

[nabillarif]

I just noticed, looking at it from the sides or the rear third quarter, is very
reminiscent of the S70
