Living With The New Mazda3 | 2018 Mazda3 5 Likes and Dislikes

After spending 1 week with the 2018 Mazda3 I have some things I like and don't like. This video covers those top 5 Mazda3 pros and cons.

Obviously this is just my opinion, but I would love to hear yours if you own the car or if there are other things you can think of as well! This particular model was the 2018 Mazda3 GT aka Grand Touring with additional premium package.

Overall, I really did like the car!

I've had my Mazda 3 for almost two years now and driving it is absolutely phenomenal! Excellent steering and it looks absolutely sexy.

It's my first car but I got in an accident and was given a yaris as a loaner while the repairs take place. I loved my 3 from the start but driving that yaris makes me appreciate the 3 even more.

I want this car and I will get it! AMEN!

I have your same model but in white. I love the white interior so much! I agree with all your likes as well! As for the backseats, I agree but my friends don't make such a big deal about it and it seems okay if everyone is under 6'0. I will say, there's an option where you can see your current MPGs, range till empty, and current mpg on the trip, all you have to do is push the button in that's located right to the left on the steering wheel. I hope that helps.

I know this is an old video. But still wanted to say thanks for your 2018 Mazda gt reviews. I was debating about getting this used and this helped

Honestly a cooling steering wheel is probably more useful than a heated one. You can touch a cold steering wheel but have y’all tried touching one during 105 degree weather....

I just spoke with Mazda and they checked several features you brought up. The first one was the flip up window showing your speed and you showed it also showing a sto sign. Mazda checked and the unit only shows speed, which is what I see as well. The second feature you mentioned was a heated steering wheel and Mazda said this is not available. I have the high-end touring model that you showed in your video and I bought it fully loaded and it did not include the heated steering wheel. heated seats, yes.. Just thought I would pass this information on!

Great video, very informative. Thanks mate, helping me decide if I should get this car. Tired of my boring Golf.

The backseat space is the best in its class. My son is 6 feet tall and I chose the mazda3 for that reason also.

Awesome video! You did an incredible job portraying what you like and dislike about the 2018 Mazda3. From one car reviewer to another, keep up the great work! You definitely have yourself a new subscriber!

Just got one two days ago and love it. Black exterior and interior.

You can control the volume on the steering wheel, so the bottle in the holder isn't an issue. The big issue, as I see it, is the lack of a memory seat. They had that in 2010. Other than that, nice review.

Please, please tell me you've driven that car with a manual transmission? A Mazda is a completely different animal when driving stick vs. Automatic. If you enjoyed the drive with your auto, wait til u drive with a stick. You'll never go back. All my Mazdas are stick. 3 and counting! Enjoyed the video, thanks!

I believe the center armrest should extend and elevate. Also, there is no dead pedal pad. Thats about it. Regardless, it is an outstanding car for the price. An AWD Speed3 version would be legendary

My parents got a 2005 Mazda 3 brand new off the showroom floor with 11 miles on it. Loved it every minute and would still be driving it today if a drunk driver didnt hit them head on 2 years ago (they are fine and walked away with just minor bumps and bruises), totaling it. They bought a 2013 ford escape on a whim because they needed a car asap after the accident. Had problems after problems with it. Today, they finally bit the bullet and traded off the pos Escape and got a 2018 Mazda 3 and couldnt be happier. Zoom Zoom.

Just bought a 2016 VW Jetta and the Apple CarPlay works great. Plus the screen is built into the dash, not sticking up. I do like Mazda3 but they fell behind in technology..Now they want $450 to upgrade at 2016-2017.

[geryquin]

dude! no remote start is a huge plus! even better if it doesn't have push to start, these two things are superfluous to convenience (like if inserting a key where ever hard!) and just makes a car so much more easier to steal. It not having remote start alone makes me want to buy this car

[Knightlore]

I bought my wife a 2018 Mazda 3. My company provides me with a Merc GLC but I still like to take the Mazda any chance I get. What I don't like? Having to spay water dispersant into the door mirrors to get them working again after washing.

[ZalmaiPashtun]

The only thing I dislike about Mazda 3 is # 4 (backseat and trunk space), wish it was bigger and roomier like in Sentra

[conorweisz]

I have a 18 Mazda 3 GT and thankfully I do have apple car play and everything showed here but man the fact that it has no remote start just sucks in the winter
