Mazda 3 2020 in-depth review | carwow Reviews

Hey guys - Don't worry, we'll be renaming 'Geek Mode' and Mat will stop doing the silly voice from now on (although we still have one more video lined up which will include it). He insisted that he keeps the lab coat, though, so that might make a return!

You should start beeping every car so we can see what the horn sounds like. Like so he can see this

Dude that interior is amazing, looks more luxurious than most "luxury" brands, and someone give mazda a reward for giving us a goddamn CD PLAYER

Design is subjective - and personally, I think the Mazda 3 is a breath of fresh air, whilst the competition brings predictability, the Mazda looks COMPLETELY different, to the competition. And far better in every way

You cannot lock the keys inside, believe me I have one and even if you lock with the button, the car recognizes that the key is inside, beeps at you and opens itself for you to retrieve the key.

(unpopular opinion) Looks better than a bmw 1 series

[MrMecabih]

This is definitely one of most beautiful hatchback ever made.

[kangvp]

This car just screams “Please, give me a 250+ horsepower engine.”

[tabonabutale]

Not a fan of Geek Mode... please go back to doing it the way you did before...

I don't understand all the bias reviews and comparisons against VW. This car looks so much better externally and internally than any Golf. I know the review was going to be poor the second you put up the picture of a cat doing a dump, very tasteless and I don't understand the comparison. Mazda gave you a car to test and in return you tell them it looks like a cat taking a shit?

The tech of the car alone rivals all its competitors including VW.
The reverse camera is crystal clear (something you have often moaned about on other cars). It has a built in windscreen heads up display something that your typical run of the mil hatchback hasn't got and something you happily skipped over. The interior overall is beautiful but yet you didn't wanna go into too much detail about it all. It really seemed like you didn't want to say anything great about it? Yeah you advised people to shortlist it but you never sold it that way, it appeared you always tried to highlight the bad points which I think you struggled to do.

I don't own or work for Mazda, i'm just tired of all the bias reviews towards VW. I also change down into 3rd not 4th if I want speed up like everyone else does.

Don't do that geek thing again PLEASE!

[manuelrothberger]

Looks like Mazda and Carwow are finally getting along - great for us viewers, since Mazda is really stepping up their game 😀

[fredericbouchet]

I love this car, it's clearly the most desirable hatchback of the moment

[RandHood]

Why do I feel like you're nit picking on this car. And no it does not look like a cat taking a sh*t; it is beautiful!

It took me 6 months of researching, seeing and test driving different cars (for this class/segment/budget) for my first ever car and Mazda 3 stood out. I fell in love with its interior, exterior design, smooth driving and of course, its fuel efficiency. Also Mazda Ph offers free maintenance for three years. Worth every buck! My next goal is Mazda 6. ❤️😍 Thank you for reviewing this CarWow ❤️

[catalinmarin]

My god this is the best looking new car in a while. I’m in love

[neilstait]

To be fair I took your advice and bought a Golf 8 and it is the worse car I have ever had
