@tmh44

Yes my understanding is that they benchmark their cars against cars in the premium segment (ie the Mazda 3 is built to compete more with a BMW 3-Series than a Honda Civic), so they typically land closer to the premium brands...they are also usually a little more expensive than the Corolla, Civic, etc, but as a multiple Mazda owner I believe the price is justified.

Have you driven a premium car? Or have you driven a 2-3yr old Mazda? They are not premium! Sure they look that way on the internet and brand new but once you own for a year or two you realize all the style comes at a remarkable cost. The build quality and material quality in Mazdas are poor! The screen quality/ back up camera are some of the worst in the industry. The "leather" seats and padding on dash that they give you at such a LOW cost buckles, power seat motors become noisy and crackly, the list goes on. And don't expect any dealer to give you too dollar on a trade as the resale value is laughable! You can find top trim preowned Mazdas for same price as similar condition base model Toyotas, even VWs (I guess that's the only thing that makes them a premium car)

@@LexVVTiS300 gotta disagree with all of this. Personally I've owned many premium vehicles including Porsche, Lotus, BMW, Acura, etc. I also recently leased a 2015 Mazda 3 as a daily driver and it held up exceptionally well, zero squeaks or rattles, zero issues, and only cost $150 to maintain for three years. Before leasing the 3 I drove the 3 Series, A4, C Class, XE, etc and went with the Mazda as the ergonomics we're excellent and it handled nicely. The rest was icing on the cake.

I've had the utmost respect for the Mazda 3, so my hopes were high for this upgrade. My sense, based on this fine review, is that Mazda has done better than I expected. The biggest surprise for me is the styling of the sedan. It is flat-out gorgeous and "classic" in looks. Well done, Mazda . . . and Thomas.

Finally, you can now buy yet another a timeless BEAUTIFUL car for under 30K!

Great review as usual Thomas! Been waiting for this one

As a brit I'm also impressed that the controls for the infotainment are mirrored for right hand drive! A lot of cars leave all the buttons in the same place as left-hand drive markets, which can make reaching for certain key controls, that should be close to you, more difficult than it needs to be.

Hello from Croatia. As I try to watch almost all your reviews I must say that I enjoy them very much. Can't find any other reviewever that does it so nice and with so much details. Talking about the car I must say I like it very much, sedan more then hatch but it is great that there is no major difference between lower and higher trim kits. Also, look forward for the review of the SCCI engine.

I was debating between a Golf GTI and WRX, until I started reading up on the new Mazda3 and watched your review. Now I cannot wait for dealerships to start getting these in next week! Especially now with AWD option, I am next to sold on this new Mazda3. The price, reliabilitiy, and comfort seems second to none in the compact car class.

A lot of people have criticized the back C-pillar for being too big, but that's funny to me because when Mazda showed the Kai concept, everyone raved about its looks and this car is very close to that concept which you don't get that a lot from manufacturers. I am seriously going to take a look at this when it comes out here in the States.

Love Autogefühl, love Thomas, LOVE this car!!

Thanks for the review. I recently bought the US version of the hatch (manual) with 186 horsepower and torque SkyActiveG. Coming from German turbo cars, there have been some adjustments for me to make. At first I was disappointed about the engine performance but after "learning" its Naturally Aspirated engine (and installing a performance Air Intake), I'm having a blast in revving up the engine and getting enough power in all situations. That's the fun factor that most C-Class, 3-Series and A3 cars are missing these days. Also, they say it's better to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow! Regarding the ride quality, it is good, but it definitely feels less solid and refined than my previous German cars. For example, I can sometimes feel a bit of vibration under the pedals, shifter, etc. Also stock dampers are a bit too stiff around the city potholes and I'm considering replacing them. On the positive side, Mazda parts are half the price of the German ones!

excellent review. I am curious to see the new Mazda 6 wagon with the new design language and (hopefully) independent rear suspension.

I just tested this very nice car. My opinion - C pillar shape is not a problem for visibility, especially for those who drove a lot Focus II hatch ) In fact, the space behind the C-pillar can be perfectly controlled via the side mirror. The blind spot not visible in the mirror is exactly space opposite to the rear passenger window (as with any other car). Sure, blind spot assist is nice here and useful. Sure, the shape of the C-pillar requires some experience, but the blind spots of this hatch can be controlled the same as with any other hatch.

I LOVE your reviews. I've been waiting on this full review since November 2018. Thank You, you didn't disappoint. PS. I just wish the Sedan didn't have such a huge rare lower lip. EVERYTHING else is excellent.
