This is making me fall in love with Mazda again ❤

Just bought the 2023 Carbon Edition Sedan. You are very correct in stating that you get a premium feel without paying a premium price. I love it! Thank you for sharing the video.

Great car! I have one and I love it.

Currently renting one (sedan version) and the seats are thin BUT in a sporty kind of way. I’m 6’2 235 and I got super comfortable in that car. I would buy one 100% if I was in the market for a new car

I love this car very much, it is very beautiful and wonderful, and we love your successful channel, which is distinguished for cars, Ben. Thank you, and we love and appreciate you!?*

Own a 2023 Mazda 3 Carbon Edition sedan. Absolutely in love with everything about it.

Insane Mazda Ben !! ❤❤

The 2023-2024 Mazda 3 Hatchback is the absolute top of the market

I just got a carbon. I absoluetely love it.

Did they remove the trunk release button on the key fob?

I'd like to see the sedan version of the M3 with a Turbo. And I believe if you get an M3 with the new 10 inch infotainment screen it's touch when in park.

They're kind of hard to find! I initially looked for one but liked the hatch better.

ay my man try a circular polarizer filter for your camera to eliminate glare

The Mazda3 Hatchback Carbon no longer has Bose speakers?

I would’ve expected them to switch out the piano black trim on the center console, it scratches just by looking at it

Does it come with a spare tire, or the dreaded fix-a-flat?

I love Mazda's...

Thats a great vehicle

I love hatchbacks and that is a strong choice specially for that price❤

Usually when mazda releases carbon edition ... they are getting ready for a redesign ?

Is rare because the model 2024 has a new 10.25 touch screen

Is this vehicle comfortable for long travels ?

I've had the 23 for almost a year. I'm a small guy and the seats are noticeably smaller than the civic and Corolla. The cup holder placement is horrible. And the controls for the entertainment system are not the best, neither is Bluetooth. I would have got the Corolla or Civic having known this. Other than that this is a great car. I love the looks, only seen 1 other in almost a year of ownership. It is slow but gets me 35.2 mpg. Sport mode is faster but you sacrifice mpg's. The Bose system is insane, sounds so good crisp and clear. You get amazing bass, mids and highs. The arm rest feels cheap and empty if you push in on it. But the car really does have that luxury feel for the price point. Still debating on trading it, I might be disappointed if I do even with all the negatives. It is fun to drive in the back roads in the S curves with sport mode on.

The steering, is however on the slower side but that gives it a “luxury” feel but I wouldn’t say it’s HEAVY. But yeah ask me any other questions man i think it’s a fantastic car especially if it’s just to drive 1-2 people around, it’s usually just me and my girl

Needs Homelink, backup sensors, key fob remote start and electric hatch release. Pretty solid vehicle otherwise. (Current owner)

Why do most reviewers only review the higher and expensive trim options. There are lots more people out there considering to buy the base trim options and want to know about it.

@jsebby2284

4 ай бұрын

To be fair this is the only the 3rd of 6 options. Plus dealerships want to sell the more expensive cars, that's why

I've always wanted a Mazda 3. However the first time I ever went to a Mazda dealership, I felt intimidated and belittled. I didn't have a great experience.

i love my 2018 mazda 3 hatchback and the only things i dont like about it is the road noise and i can feel every little bump on the road. id buy it again but now they went way up in price.

@parnpichate

6 ай бұрын

Compared to my 2007 Corolla, the cabin is far more quiet in the Mazda 3. The suspension is tighter and so you will feel a bit more of the bumps, but its also more performance driven so the handling is tighter. There's always a tradeoff.

What economy car is 30k!?

Audi A3 or Mazda 3? Which is better?

@TheDiameter

Жыл бұрын

The Mazda 3 completely loaded out is just under $40k. The barebones no option A3 is almost the exact same price. So, it just depends on what you want, a stripped down German car that has high upkeep and maintenance costs - or a loaded Japanese car that will likely need nothing but oil and tires for 100k miles

I thought the screen was bigger in the 2024 models?

​@@natedog2966I'd say the Mazda has the most refined feel to it. I had a Kia K5 GT-Line AWD until it was totaled. Mazda 3 was too small for me but it has the best "feel" to it overall. No AWD in the Accord but 192HP + turbo is decent, although CVT. Mazda 3 is 191HP naturally aspirated but available 250HP with AWD, Kia K5 180HP + turbo. Loved the Kia, seats were great and tons of leg room but had more plastic in the interior than the other two. Also can't get the Bose speakers in the GT-Line AWD trim (no idea why)

Loved everything but the Battleship Grey and the Interior Color 🤮. C’mon Mazda want Black! Did you mention that the Carbon Edition is AWD?

now if they would let you get the 12 inch infotainment on the non turbo 3 T_T

Take the 2019 mazda3 and slap a 2024 on it.. same car 💀 was honestly waiting to see what would be new before I made my choice between this and the civic

Eh not really, like at all. The turbocharged 2.5L wasn’t even available until 2021, and the list of standard features on a base 2023/24 rival what the 2019 top trim model offered with all the options. Not to mention the current N/A 2.5 makes more power and gets better fuel economy than any of the 2019 powertrains. It’s a big difference, and in the hatchback the 3 is a clear winner over any civic not sporting an R badge.

I do not know what to say, the design is morally worn out. Most of the Mazda 3s I have seen on the roads are driven by young people and this is a bit pity because Mazda 3 was people's car. I personally drove the 2008 model which was cool. I just say it must be revamped inside and out.
