Prepping for the pandemic with all that TP before it even started! Nice video.

I simply don't have the resources to do comparison tests the right way. When you see the major mags doing it, they have a staff and spend loads of time. I, sadly, have neither. Glad you like the reviews, much appreciated.

Great review. Assured me once again that I made a great purchase on my new Mazda 3 SkyActiv back in February!

Sorry for the delay (you'd get a faster response at the site BTW). It's no GTI to be sure, I would buy it with the manual to get the most performance out of it. The power is average I would say, not underpowered. I suggest driving it so you understand.

It's been over a year since I've sat in a Focus back seat. Tough to remember.

The ES review is up. The Volvo S80 is too long in the tooth to do anything with. Sorry.

They are there. Maybe you are subscribed to "Drive" which I don't upload to anymore. Look for "Driven Car Reviews" with the D logo.

Love the hatch, love the black and tan interior. Finally a review that isnt the generic blue mica demo car.

You are a credit to your community, no doubt very smart, and probably very good looking. Thanks!

Test drove the 2013 I-Touring SKYACTIV 6MT model the other day, and now they have a usb port, dual-zone climate control, and push button start. Grand Touring also get a touch screen now!

Tom, you do the best, most consistent reviews on KZread. Great job! Keep it up. Any chance you can swing some comparison tests? It'd be great to compare, for example, this, the focus, and the civic - one right after the other, and pick a winner!

No, my mom bought a GLK without test driving it and then after she bought it she test drove it and it was the only car she test drove let alone three.

3:14 lol that look after that line

I have a Non-Skyactive Mazda3 from 2013 & basically the exact same car in 95% ways as that of car in video. Still quite fuel efficient regardless if its the 2.0L (2000cc) or the slightly smaller 1.6L (1600cc) versions.

I was paid $2,000,000 for that plug. I'm just that popular. Invested well I hope to double it. On a more serious note, I saw 39 mpg in the rain on a 70 mile loop according to the trip computer. So 40 mpg could be possible in dry conditions. You might check on Mazda3 owner's forums.

If you go to my site there is an S60 T6 AWD review. I will have a T5 AWD review in two weeks on my site, I post to KZread one week later.

You can't get BOSE, leather or sunroof with the SKYACTIV manual tranmission model. Huge oversight from Mazda, a company who tries to sell a drivers car. The SKYACTIV automatic is just not the same as the stick, which is great in this car. Interior of this car is best in class.

I have a 2012 mada3i skyactive hatchback but the blue light at the feet isn't on. Is there a way to turn it on and off?

My car might have had an ambient lighting package that your car doesn't have. In other words, it might not be there to turn on in your car.

You can purchase Interior foot well lights on Ebay. Some Mazdas are not equipped with them.

I would buy this for around 15....19.5 is too much considering the stale ext/interior styling. Needs a complete redesign with the new sykactive header included...

The North American market unfortunately only has an auxiliary jack and bluetooth no USB, but its not much of a bother since the 6 disc changer is sufficient enough to carry all of my mix tapes. And you are right, the Mazda is a really good deal if you haggle them hard, got my grand touring sedan for $21,000 us dollar $3500 off msrp and free floor mats :)

i just bought one...the ride is very stiff, more comfortable on highway than city, you can feel and hear every single pothole...most people wont enjoy the ride unless you've been driving a sport car.

This car is on the top of my list right now!

I read that Consumer Reports have been able to get 44 mpg hwy in the new Mazda 6! Not every car company have issues meeting or beating their estimates (looking at you Ford, Hyundai and Kia...)

I'll be doing the Accord soon but it's the V6. It's all Honda had for me to drive.

I'n scheduled to get one soon

You are so awesome, your reviews are fun and very informative.keep it up.

whoa whoa how did you get a moonroof with a manal transmission? I thought that wasnt an available option? If it is than im sold lol

Did you up the bass on the exhaust shot, or does it really sound that good?

I didn't really mind since I don't use them but the ocd symmetrical side of me kicked in and now It bothers me that there only one :/

Only 6 packs? I should have bought a Suburban instead! Great review. White is the best color on this car.

Hi Tom, I was wondering how you felt about the Skyactiv 3's performance? Did it feel pretty quick? Were there any times when it felt under-powered? Your test car is equipped nearly identical to how I would buy it- 5-door with the 6-speed manual. Thank you very much for the great review!

Sir you definitely deserve a lot of views than this! Great videos

compression ratio is 13;1;0 if i remember, not 12?

Yeah, I remember that one because it nearly tripped me up.

how about new lexus es and volvo s80 review

Can you do the Mazda CX5?

On an even more serious note, the road noise issue is also to be ignored due to these tires.

This might be a lot to ask but are you a dealer or something? how do you get so many cars to review?

It wouldn't be right to EQ something like that.

Pretty sure it's 12:1 in the US, it's 13:1 in Europe.

How come you stopped putting these on itunes?

I dunno about you but I recently bought a Mazda 3 Neo (standard) 2012 black hatch in September and It was suppose to pay $21,500 australia dollars for it but haggled it down to $20,880 then she offered me either the car with 1. USB or bluetooth or 2. extra features which included floor mats, front light protectors, windscreens, etc etc. I haggled and she ended up giving me both. So I'm pretty sure USB is included, just gotta bargain them! lol

How do you make the blue foot light turn on???

your right! i watch to many vids from all around the globe, ahhhh, internet!

is it that mazda has two commercials that contain references (ie, "The Lorax" and "The Six Million Dollar Man")?

I might be getting a 2013 6speed automatic skyactic hatchback, anyone with one already can you give me your opinion on what u think so far? Thanks

How much did Bridgestone pay you for that plug @ 4:24? You're not getting 40 mpg with those on your car, btw.

Hoarding toilet paper before it was cool

Yeah fr

I am also looking to purchase a 2010 or 2011 Mazda 3 hatchback Automatic.The one thing that I have noticed about the Mazda 3 hatchback verses corolla or Honda civic is that, the mazda 3 felt a little bumpy while driving it on paved and smooth roads. The corollas and Hondas are more smooth and comfy. I am not disliking mazda, but the only thing that I like about the Mazda 3 is the hatchback verses the sedan. Toyota Matrix boy is not attractive so is Nissan versa.lol

Do the 2013 accord sedan 4cyl ex-l

I love these cars! I'd get one like this! I don't mind the creepy smile on the car.

Volvo S60 review?

If Honda and Toyota come up with the similar body style as the mazda3 hatchback, I am sure they will out sale the mazda 3.

mazda makes excellent cars. they are better than fords focus which gets worse if you dont get their eco package which is more $ , same goes with chevy and the elantra can never hit 40

I like that better than the new ones. The new hatchback is ugly (2021)

dam i really thought it would fly.

how about letting evil twin do a review now and again? think it would be cool...

Yes! I want an S60, they're not as overrated as the 328i.

what is the mpg if you drive like an animal?

mpg

It better have more zoom-zoom than room-room!

🙏😷👍🏻

I'd prefer the manual transmission anyway!

No. And let that be a warning to women...

I wish it was AWD

yet you clicked on the video

o yea and this car needs to stop smiling at me.

Mazda is number 5th Japanese car.

toyota celica

KZread puts so much shit on here that it makes it shitty to surf KZread videos

COULDN'T care less ;)

Ugly car
