Just got me the 2014 Mazda 3, 4 door sedan 2 days ago. Its so fun, and a head turner for sure. Looks great in black, with black interior. Classy and mean/sporty. Its my 3rd Mazda now, and I see myself sticking with this company for years if they keep up this level of quality and price.

How is it still holding up

Recently we named the 2014 Mazda3 as our Car of the Year. Watch our first drive and see that we were immediately impressed. Mazda USA #mazda #mazda3 #2014mazda3 #zoomzoom #gamechanger

I never would've even considered buying a Mazda, but this and the new 6 look absolutely amazing. Kudos to Mazda, especially considering they had to make these new models all from scratch on their own without help from ford.

I have had my Mazda 3 for over a year now and love it. All these reviews were so helpful in making an informed decision on which car to buy. Im about to post my own review vid after 21000 miles, as well as a video on how to update the maps in the navigation system. Thanks for your review video.

where is the video?

I just took the five door one for a test drive and was pleasantly surprised, and this is coming from someone who currently drives a regular four door sedan. The Mazda3 is very comfortable, responsive, and the interior blew me away! Quality design and materials. The practical but stylish design works for me.

It's been 10 years but the design is still beautiful for the next 10 years

Is it possible to upgrade the stereo?

The looks of the 3rd gen have held up so well over time. A lot of vehicles become dated, but this still looks new. And gotta love the soul red ;)

This car is sick, saw one today already tuned up.

Hi, I have a question you may be able to answer. I own a 2014 Mazda 3 in Titanium Flash Mica. Is this color the same as Titanium Flash Pearl? I ask because I can't find RH passenger side view mirror in Titanium Flash Mica; I've only found Pearl.

Great review as usual! Question though. What road is that? I frequently travel to San Diego and I have yet to find a seemingly perfect canyon carving road like the one in the video.

The host did a very good job of reviewing the vehicle! i would like to see more of him

Did you get to review Suzuki Swift Sport 2014 or 2015 model? I'm comparing Mazda 3 2014 hatchback to Swift Sport. I wonder what is much solid to drive in terms of built and quality for a single guy?

The "ipad" style screen is up there because it's MUCH safer to have it as close to eye level as possible. This was more of a promotion for Mazda than a review. This nerd-turned-reviewer isn't working. Easy on the new words like "twizzle" instead of torque. These cars are extremely reliable and when you learn it amounts to 30% of their sales, you know the engineers took their sweet ass time with it. Should be a quality product.

Craig does some great reviews. I'm a fan of Mazda, and the new crop of cars from the new "solo" Mazda are some of the best cars out there. Looking forward to the next Miata, and hopefully sales will stay strong so that we will get a new RX-7!!

Absolutely makes Civic and Corolla look like old cars. I am a huge Honda fan and own a BMW now, but Mazda has done it right. The CX-5, 6, and now the 3 look so sexy and get GREAT mpg, why would you buy anything else? My next car will probably be a Mazda 6.

does anyone know when the 2014 Elantra comes out? I'm not sure whether I should get this or a 2014 Elantra if it comes out soon and is as good, or better than this.

I got a Mazda 3 I gt hatchback, absolutely love it no complaints about, handles like a dream even in snow and even as a hatchback still looks sporty but still gives you the extra cargo room. I do actually like the touch screen placement it looks weird yes but it's easier to glance at when driving.

Good background musik ! Good review.

I've had my 2014 Mazda 3 iTouring for two weeks. It's a dream--drives great, looks great and I'm getting 32.6 mpg combined city/highway. It was a tough call choosing among the 2014 Kia Forte (amazing interior, great handling); the 2014 Hyundai Elantra (great gas mileage and refined interior); and the Mazda. But very happy with my decision to go Mazda.

Isn't the mpg on both 2.0 and 2.5 the same? The information in their website is not that clear

Funny when he said the Nav screen looked like an afterthought that they just stuck on, I said the exact same thing about the new Merc A- class/ CLA.

what specific DSLR are they using?

Anyone know the song that plays at 0:50?

Yea I think Craig is one of the better car review presenters out there. Also props to the autoguide team that shot this, very well shot. Especially in comparison to other reviewers.

Is this shot in Coronado?

My 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback is still working perfectly after 75k miles. No issues whatsoever. My only real complaint is that the stock stereo system sucks and there aren't any aftermarket options for it that I know of.

I have owned the I Grand touring model of this car for a week now, and I am glad I love the car. I didn't pay 30k for it, but the interior makes it feel like i paid more for it. I love the bose system that came with model. The car handles really well and I was concerned a bit because I opted for the 155 hp rather than the 185 hp model, so i didn't think i have enough power, but gotta say it still has a good amount of kick to it. I also am glad they redesigned the look of this car. Compare the 2014 to all the other years, and this one definitely looks a lot nicer. Great car!

Anyone know if there is radar cruise control in the GT Tech Package? Almost every review I'd read said it has the same features as the Mazda6 I-Activsense but neither the website or the one dealer I'd talked to know anything about the MRCC on the 3.

Good review...fine, informative road tester...Bravo! My compliments!! Peace!

When is this car coming out? I live in Cali! Debating between this and Honda Civic!

Does the 2014 GX have the RPM's? heard it doesn't come with it.

Very nice review!

Take a look at where they put the front plate on this car.......was about to get one but that absolutely killed the look for me....

This car is amazing. It is very comfortable and smooth. If u don't think so go test drive over the dealer

is it a manual or an automatic?

another amazing review craig! this guy deserves a raise! lol

Can anyone tell me which car is good to buy 1.2014 honda city 1.5 2.hyundai elentra 3. Mazda 3 Which one should I go for???

Great review!!!

My future car. I love you mazda 3 skyactiv

Gonna get the SP25 Astina. Yes top of the range baby.

I don't know about you guys, but I had the 2.2 Diesel Bi-Turbo engine here in Europe and that engine did justice to this car! After a standard software optimization I had 470 N/m torque and 190 hp

hi guys just wanted to know whats better this or the mx5? thanks 😊

@Ludenaaa

josh edmensoxD well the mx5 is a small sports car! It only have 2 seats. The Mazda 3 has 5 seats and has a bigger boot. So it depends what u need: a fun roadster(mx5) or a small family car(3)

Thanks for the review. I agree that the digital readouts look like they don't fit the style of the vehicle.

When are they going to until the sedan version on their website? The price point of the sedan version is a steal. If there isn't much difference between the two performance wise, I'm definitely getting it.

hatch or sedan ?

Good review... I went to a dealer to see the car, the dash looked cool... my daughter thought the interior looked like a luxury car

does anyone know if the Mazda 3 2014 has the capability to program a button in this car for garage door remote? hard to believe with all the advanced features of this car that it does not have this. we just purchased (today) the high end 3 with every feature and we cannot find this info anywhere. not in the users manual either. is it possible we are missing something here?

I just bought the sadden version, and it rocks. I got the sport and have no complaints. I had small cars ranging from Nissan to Suzuki and I can say this car smokes them in options and style.

everything's great, but ya seriously why dint they pay a little more attention to the interior navigation thing!

I love mazda3 toooooooo much I have mazda3 2014 & love it veryyyyyyyyyyy much

I've always just bought BMWs, but I would probably consider this for my next car.. Just such a great design.. Love the lines, love the short overhangs, and the Mazdaspeed3 should be really fun to drive.

I will try to wait patiently until March or April to buy a Mazda 3 i grand touring (stick)... can't wait

I personally liked the 2010-2011 body style , then it got similar refresh in the 2013 model. but in the refresh they made all the sharp corners softer, making it look less aggressive. with this 2014 model adopting the new Mazda style does work in the front, but the rear isn't much too look at and the interior is a step back. also with the new mazada style most of their cars blend with other company's with their larger grilles

Sedan version please.

I do agree the screen is kind of an after thought, but the rest of the car is very appealing, and since I won't be getting the upgraded version with the screen it's no big deal for me. Can't wait to stop by a Mazda dealership and test it out, it's definitely the most appealing car in this price range.

What a beautiful little car!

I wish Toyota would learn from Mazda> You can make cars that are fun to drive and don't cost a fortune

The US variants offered are 2.5 & 2.0 litter naturally aspirated Skyactiv engine. Europe has a diesel version that has smaller engine that gets 65+mpg! I have a 2.5 that at 70 mph cc on, gets 40+mpg! In sport mode with paddle shifters and no spare tire 0-60 under 7 secs! Handling on par with Miata just bit heavier has accelerometer turns amazing! . Yes this car is a luxury economy car that competes with BMW, Mercedes, Kia sport, Hybrids! 40+ mpg Zoom Zoom Mazda!

Can anyone explain to me why the hatchback (5 door) versions of the same car is $2k-$3 more even though everything, other than the frame, is identical? Thankfully, I actually liked the sedan version of this model much better. Still, even $25K for a compact car seems high, I would never pay $30+.

hey craig you quit NCIX ??

i would consider a focus too because of all the rebates and incentives

I like that hatch.. . Affordable, compact and sporty.. .

Love this car had the first gen mazda 3 now I have the third

the hatch version reminded me of Alfa Romeo a lot

Good review.

who the hell doesnt like the knob control!? I get how some dont like the screen, me personally, I dig it. Would be cool if it would retract into the dash, but not something I think is that big a deal. Also what a weird statement on the dash gauges. The only thing I find strange, is on the i version, the center stack is MPH gauge, even with Manuel. and in the '14 S the RPM guage is in the center stack, even though all are auto trans. Great looking car IMO. best in the class. has some quirks, (Rims on I models, Seat fabric options) but not the things he seemed to mention.

Would love to see a 2 door convertible version of the 3.

Will my Fat Bike fit in the back with both wheels on?

The only bad things I saw on this car is that the NAV system will appeal to thieves that may think it is just sitting on the dash and there are very few storage areas in the cabin for your stuff.

That instrument cluster looks like the one in McLaren 12C. Don't complain about that!

i dont care if this guy is a little nerdy he does his job GOOD!

Oh please. What car in the class looks better?

hey thats the geek from autolinedetroit

Just have driven a 2014 model today and the dashboard is different.....it has a big analog rev instruments and digital speedometer.....you say 2014 Mazda 3 Review...however think it is the older model....

Some feature on the mazda might disappear over time, like the Navigation in Active Driving Display no more works on North America cars. Other feature may also have same fate.I have a mazda 3 2014 Touring, dont buy looking at the features else you will have my experience.

Great review. What's with the bowl haircut. You're reviews are funny nonetheless.

I wish they had Panoramic/glass roof models like hyundai and Kia are doing.

i wish they kept the original mazda colors ive got the 2011 mazda 3 hatchback in copper red beautiful color the blue was beautiful as well and my lease is over next year id get another mazda 3 but leaving the color of my mazda now makes me sad to leave my baby lol

Hey Craig, set the drivers seat for yourself and try and get into the seat behind you. So so review, missed the 2nd row and cargo area.
