This is also one of those almost faultless cars. My cousin bought the mazda 3 in 2008/9 (brand new) if i remember correctly. 300 000km's on and it's still running like a well oiled machine. The comfort, ride quality and just basic feel of the the brand is worth the buy.

Mazda is doing very well when it comes to design. I love that interior design, including the choice of materials. I very much enjoyed the comparative test especially the POV part. God bless🙏🙏🙏

Great video man 🥳 the Mazda3, one of my colleagues has the older one, it has done over 250K on the clock 😅, couldn't believe it. They used travel a lot between Gauteng and W/Cape, it still drives great looks like it has less than 100K. This car is a tank, the Koreans know how to build one. I hope the newer models live up to that quality & reliability

First video I've watched from your channel and the content is outstanding, love your content 💫👍

I’m in love with the new one’s interior, same thing they have on the CX30. I thought the updated Cx5 will have the same interior, it’s mind boggling why/how they kept the old infotainment/gearbox when this looks more premium. Power wise they should have done better than 88kw, plus no turbo 😭

Test drove the new one. Ended up keeping the old one. I didn't feel like losing the quick steering and IRS.

2018 still Skyactiv Technology the MX-30 will be available down under generation 3 & 4 .

This is my favourite car video because the Mazda 3 has always been a favourite car of mine coz it’s a value for money buy. Features, looks, engine and driving is well done by Mazda.

very nice very nice, greetings from germany! nice cars :D

[maxlodewyk_na]

If it wasn’t for the price tag, the Mazda 3 would have been our purchase. Such a beautiful car and the standard spec cannot be compared to its rivals. Unfortunately brand loyalty kills this great product, however those who know quality will buy this.

[JeremyGeduldt-mh]

Mazda please bring back the 6 to Mzansi .

[avuazahc]

Most of Japanese N/A engines kind of require to up the revs to make it faster coupled with the worst engine noise, However I do sometimes enjoy driving NA engines and their hesitant engines.

[JeremyGeduldt-mh]

You can see the difference between the two .

[nanasi]

I love the new one but please do a Chery tiggo 7

[ivoniamanyaka]

No turbo means "NATURALLY ASPIRATED.which is a win 4 us cars enthusiasms plus it wont break.😏

[InDzienInTampa]

My 2018 3 has LED headlamps. Going to need to call out that misinformation at the start of the video.

[Mstshepana]

The only problem with Mazda is their slow engines. Otherwise the quality of this brand is somewhere between the big three or should i say the big four

[GordonMck]

2018 has a better exterior. The 2022 has better tech and a better interior. Merge them!

[wazim]

these cars are so pretty but that engine is just ...
