2024 Mazda 3 2.0 High Plus Liftback Review in Malaysia, Most Exciting C-Segment Car! | WapCar

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Let’s be frank, the 2024 Mazda 3 2.0 High Plus Liftback isn’t going to be a mainstream competitor in the C-segment category. Is that an issue, though? Far from it, because while it may lack some “sensible” aspects of what makes an everyday car good, the Mazda 3 is guaranteed to make the driver and occupants feel good.
From outside in, the Mazda 3 demonstrates a level of refinement and attention to detail in what makes a good driver’s car. From its punchy 2.0 litre Skyctiv engine to its driver-focused cabin and finally to the way it looks, there’s no denying the Mazda 3 hits all the right notes for an enthusiast.
Let Greg, or rather the Mazda 3, do the talking and you’ll understand what we mean.

    Just got my Ignite Edition 3 weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier. This may not be a perfect car, but it is a perfect car for me. It drives so well, comfortable enough for daily drive, very quiet on highway drives, Bose sound system is amazing, and the burgundy seats just add a little bit of flavour to the interior. But I do think that the Civic FE would be a better choice if it's gonna be your only car.

    Bootspace : yes. I first find the interior rather appalling when it first launched. Mainly because how tight and claustrophobic it made me feel. Thanks to being used to Hondas lah. But over the years, I find it to be so attractive and now I find myself longing for one. Too bad Malaysian practically worship Hondas and Toyotas that an affordable Mazda is only a pipe dream.

    I agree that the look is really subjective. For me personally I think the sedan version is an absolute beauty, reminding me of some Alfa Romeo design in certain way at the rear. However the Liftback does not really work for me especially the huge C pillar towards the end. No offence, this is just personal that I don't really like the view especially on 3:04 to 3:05. As for the torsion beam setup, something that came into my mind comparing the Mazda 3 Liftback to a Golf 1.4 TSI R-line that was discontinued. The Golf came with multi link rear suspension managed to offer more rear passenger space, bigger boot, very quiet cabin, comfortable ride with very well tuned suspension and very good handling. Seems to me that Mazda is taking an easy way out to switch from multi link (from the previous generation) to torsion beam.

    Can't agree more on the 3. Tested both 1.5L sedan and 2.0L hatch, both are not perfect and are not even close to be called an all rounder. But to a shrinking handful of drivers, sitting in it and driving it, stirs a particular sense of satisfaction and will probably draw an unintended silly grin (noticed by my passenger) while behind the wheel.

    i'll take civic anytime because of the resale value. after 7 years for sure boring to use anymore. so just sell the old one and buy new car with so many new features, safety & tech. and i can guarantee mazda will cost so much less to sell at that time compared to honda.

    I would disagree total. 1-the interior is boring of a singular colour(black for easy maintenance but "old man" maybe a bit more sculptured would be atune as sporty/atas) 2-Skyactive=high pressure/high temperature, therefore long term higher cost maintenance. 3-long old outdated design contours, seeing a 2-3-5-6; any significantly design differences; should in lieu for a major design change.4-it is a so so average performing car with nothing uncommon amongst the others Eg WRX or Satria Neo R3.

The engine sounds like a two cylinder fiat 500 when idle because it goes to two cylinder mode. It's often on two cylinder mode. 1st-2nd gear are jerky. Horrible horrible vibration and engine noise.
