2019 Mazda3 Review | Why So Serious?

We review the new Mazda3 AWD, FWD, Sedan and Hatchback in a technical video that focuses on quality over quantity. If you want to learn more about the details including the good and bad on the next generation Mazda, this is the place to be. While other products like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Corolla Hatch are good choices a new start and direction is always risky yet exciting.

Thanks to James Orton and Drew Cary

One of the best reviews for the Mazda 3... insane amount of details... down to how bushings affect ride quality? damn give me more!

[Michael_Dolences.]

It's nice to see a car manufacturing still giving a damn about something other than SUVs.

[BlaBla-jjsh]

This is a masterclass in how to review a car.

For me to listen to this dude speak over 20 minutes and not changing the channel says a lot about how good his oratory skills are. One of the best auto reviewers on Youtube.

[bjwwong]

Because of your review, we actually purchased one of these today!!! Your videos are hands-down one of the most thorough and pleasure to watch. Keep the content rolling!!! Cheers!!!

One smart move that Mazda did was separating themselves from Ford.

[AltairAuditore]

Mazda is probably the most underappreciated car company out there.

I made the mistake of watching Demuro's fluffy review of the 3, which to be quite honest was all over the place. And, his "Doug score" made zero sense not only to me, but to himself. He sang praises about the car (save for the infotainment) then gave it low scores. His subscriber count makes me mad. Thanks for bringing the in-depth quality, as per the usual.

I feel more Premium for just having watched this. Thanks Mazda! *Gets into shit box and drives away in a Premium manner.

Saw this review yesterday. Heavily impressed with the clear technical details. Went and bought the 2019 Blue Mazda 3 sedan GLS with luxury package [Canada] . Never been in such a polished looking interior at this price range or above. Both front and rear. What struck me most during the test drive was the superb driving position. I am 6 feet tall and I felt like I was sitting outside on the bonnet of the car with a full view of the road. Knew exactly where my front left and right part of the car were. The front wind shield has superb visibility. Driving dynamics is insane, especially merging on freeways, quick acceleration and braking. Already test drove the 2020 Corolla LE [ which has a smoother back seat ride with multi link suspension but the car lacks soul ] and I was going to test drive the Civic EX model later. Skipped the test drive. Bought the 3 immediately. So much soft touch components . The interior is a piece of art. You get transformed into an aspirational vehicle as opposed to a point A to point B utility compact sedan. Well done Mazda and great review Savage.

This is my affordable dream car. 180hp, Skyactiv-X, AWD, 6 speed manual. Amazin!

[jedi]

It feels like Mazda is the only company that actually cares anymore

[tomaszj.]

Yes!!! They listened to you, Savage! The dead pedal is in!

[MrSiah]

I sold Mazdas for a couple years back in 2014 as well as Fords. Mazda is such great value for money it's insane. One aspect of their engineering that never gets enough credit was their ability to achieve great mpg without totally sacrificing performance. No matter what trim level you bought it was always a fun car to drive with a lot of passion. Happy to see them only getting better

I have owned my 2019 preferred for three years now, and as car prices have soared through 2022 I have come to appreciate it much more. When I catch a glimpse out of my office window or in my garage, it still brings a smile to my face. I have returned to watch this video over the years to hear Savagegeese talk about my car. Just want to say thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Best Mazda 3 review on the internet right now, and I’m not even done watching the whole thing

[seeno]

The Mazda 3 video I’ve been waiting for, from the reviewer I wanted to do it

[ericokompatzki]

And this is the difference between a review and an overview, ladies and gentlemen. Congrats on the quality video Savagegeese.

[FrenchValleyAirport]

Mazda has surpassed Honda for me, and that's saying so much right now. They actually care

[busywl]

I like Mazda's approach. Too many distractions. As a Honda fan I'm liking Mazda more and more.
