I would still be driving it today if it hadn’t been sideswiped by a semi. Car was totaled, but I didn’t even get a bruise. I replaced it with a 2023 CX-5. This SUV has the same 2.5L engine, non-turbo, AWD, and same 6 speed automatic transmission. I routinely get 28 mpg around town (zero highway driving and under 50 mph), when I take it out on the highway it’s gotten as much as 42 mpg! Amazing vehicles both made in Japan.

Although the 88 nova (corolla twin) went 260,000 miles. And the Neon RT was kind of a badxxx off a red light. And sure the metro did get 55 mpg. But all of those cars have a "yes, but..." attached. The mazda 3's been just phenomenal. Not necessarily the best in _every_ area, but it does "very well" in a much larger number of areas than any of the others. 8 years old and 85,000 miles on it. And if someone was interested in it, I wouldn't even want to hear their offer. Technically mine was assembled in mexico... maybe I got lucky. Also my civic was the worst of all of them. Maybe I was unlucky there. I dunno. *shrug*

Majority cars in Europe has manual transmission. People loves it here 🙂🙂🙂

I have had mine about two months, and it is a great choice. A friend who was a lead engineer at a major car manufacturer rates the assembly and finish to much more expensive cars. Best part was the dealer did not try to pile on extra junk, and a couple of options I (my wife) chose were far less than the other two cars I looked at from Japan.

I switched to Mazda, from Honda, two years ago mainly because of the CVT that Honda had gone to. I have the smaller SUV, the CX-30, and love the performance. Since having purchased my model, they have added a turbo option which I don't really have a need for, since the performance of their standard engine has never let me down. My mileage has consistently been about 34.5 mpg for overall driving. I love that they don't use a touchscreen but have hand controls so you don't need to take your eyes off the road; I would only hope that other car companies will use this means of controlling the screen. It's much easier and safer to deal with.

If I were Mazda/Honda/Toyota I would love to invite Scottie over to the factories to promote the build quality of their cars!

I've got a 2017 CX-5, 2.5L no turbo. I wouldn't want the turbo. Make the engine that makes the HP you want, don't put a fan and a bunch of other crap on it to make up for what it lacks. The machine drives like a dream. They make these for drivers. That's good because there's not a ton of room in it. Compare the 29 cu ft behind the back row to the 40 cu ft in a CRV. It is a helluva lot more comfortable than a CRV though.

2023 Hatch Owner: Great drive solo or with family. Just completed a long road trip in it with my wife and young daughter. For me it was fun to drive, for them there was adequate space, the trunk took a full sized suitcase plus several small bags (it can take up to 2 suitcases without folding seats), and fuel economy was great. The Bose Soundsystem was incredible too. The Japanese design philosophy is evident throughout.

I love my 2014 3 and so many mods for it. Mazda makes their own transmissions and are rock solid. My car is a manual and even though its 2.0 hatch its so good looking and so much fun. Japan they practice Kaizan which is a quality/efficiency practice.

I've owned two Toyota Corolla's. Had them both for over 10 years and sold e'm when I got tired of them. They would not die extremely reliable. Since 2019 I've been driving a Mazda 3 so far very reliable and way more fun to drive. Done a long road trip from Quebec city to Newfoundland doing around 11 hours of driving in a day and it is way more comfortable than the Corolla. after a 3 hour drive from Quebec to Montreal my butt would hurt with the Corolla. With the Mazda, 11 hours of driving in a day and no pain anywhere. Love Mazda, learned to drive on my dad's Mazda in the 90's (1984 Mazda 626 lasted for 17 years) so it's sort of a return to the brand for me :)

I have mazda cx5 yr 19, and it's pretty much the same engine, 2.5 skyline and no cvt transmission. It also made Japan an awesome car. It's been 4 years since I bought brand new. I never had an issue at all. Would strongly recommend everyone to switch over to Mazda if you're looking for a good awesome sports car you won't regret it!

I'm surprised they don't go with the CVT like everyone else. I also considered a Corolla but after watching this learning Mazda doesn't use a CVT in it, I am leaning towards the Mazda 3 too! I drive a 2007 Fusion which is basically a Mazda 6 badged as a Ford and had great service from it.

I have a 2015 mazda 3 2.0L with a 6 speed manual transmission. It is my 9th small car (chevy/dodge/toyota/honda). It's _not_ for sale, and I'm unwilling to listen to any offers. Going by resale value, I'm not the only one. That probably sums up my thoughts on the car better than a lengthy review.

Because CVT SUCKS

@@doax3333 I think CVT was more interesting with the old Honda HX, back when an automatic transmission meant "4" forward gears. With more modern automatics having 5 or 6 forward gears, the advantages a CVT can offer (keeping the engine at it's ideal operating rpm) gets much slimmer. Especially with engines which have variable valve timing, giving them a broader "sweet spot" of rpm's for efficiency or power. CVT's would have made a world of difference vs a 3-speed auto on a single overhead cam engine from the 80's or 90's. Compared to say, a 2015 mazda 3 six-speed with variable valve timing... a CVT isn't going to do much (even when it is working). Then again, I only drive stick. So this is a thing for other people to worry about.

In 1974 I bought a Mazda RX4 4 door sedan with rotary engine, smoothest car I ever owned

2019 Mazda3 owner. Super fun, reliable. Quite literally 0 issues 39,000 miles in.

Watching this video while owning a 2008 Mazda 6 GH 2.0l station wagon. Absolutely love my Mazda. She has around 261.000 KM on the clock, runs like a charm 😊

Still loving it? Trying to decide between that and a Mazda3

Scott - I started with the Mazda B2000 (red) truck in 1987, 2000 Protege, 2006 Mazda3, 2014 Mazda CX-9, 2018 Mazda3, and now a 2023 Mazda CX-5.

I purchased a 2008 Mazda 3 Touring Hatchback New. I still own it after 15 years. When I bought it Motor Trend actually compared it to a BMW 3 at 1/2 the cost. I can't confirm that myself, but I still enjoy driving it. The Zoom Zoom feeling is real.

The Japanese take pride in their work. I have a fender 1962 stratocaster reissued, made in 1996 and it's just made right. I had to return an American 1957 vintage ii because it just wouldn't stay in tune and the tone wasn't so great.

I bought a 2021 CX-5 Naturally aspirated engine. A very fun vehicle to drive. I test drove the RAV4, I thought it was loud inside. I’m happy with my CX-5. Along with great gas mileage.

Apparently, this Mazda 6 is a 2018 model (though your editor somehow cut-out that info). Being a 2018 model and, as you said, a standard (i.e. manual) transmission, explains a lot about the price. Keep up the good work.

Best endorsement I can think of. My wife is now on her third CX-5 lease. Every time she had to travel in a company Camry or Chevy Impala, she came home complaining. Then she had to put her second one in the body shop for a couple of days and the insurance company gave her a Cadillac. She had to make a 120 mile round trip. Came home, "PLEASE call the body shop and see when I can get my car back.The ride in that Cadillac is HORRIBLE."

I always have so much fun watching his videos, thank you

Great video. I watched the CX 5 video as well great information on the engine and transmission. Thanks Scotty from Australia.

I have a 2021 Mazda3 hatch, non-turbo with AWD. I think it’s plenty quick but I am sure if I drive the turbo I would want it more. That said, my car is pretty loaded and the MSRP was under $26k. I figured a normally aspirated 2.5 4!cylinder with a 6-speed auto from Mazda will be pretty bulletproof.

My Mazda CX-5 is at 222k miles. It's still going to this day with proper maintenance care and new suspension parts.

I love my turbo charged 2021 CX5 Grand Touring. Picks up like a dream. I do run the premium for the slightly higher HP self-tuning.

I have a 2012 mazda8 wagon (yes 8 and it's rare). Built in japan w/ ford 2,3L 4cyl engine. I bought it used in 2014. Major fix after 12 years are radiator change and front a/c evaporator. Other than that just normal wear and tear (seals). Extremely comfy and so far extremely happy w/ it. We've taken it to many long roadtrips w/ family. we plan on keeping it forever.

Scott, great video, but you almost killed me at the HUD part. 😂🤣

I have a cx-5. Got it after putting 100k miles on a Mazda 3. Really nice to drive and has a lot of features that other brands would charge 15k extra for. Will probably get the cx-70 for extra oomph

Hey Scotty. I ended up owning a mazda 6 GT before a tire blew out and caused me to mate with a guard rail...I miss it. I love the car so much though I kept an eye out for another. I ended up finding a mazda 6 GTR, 2021 in that same color as the one in your video. I absolutely love it. From the drive, to features, to space, it is nothing short of a dream.

Yeah Mazda has been killing it recently 🙌🏿❤️!, im really proud for these guys

I absolutely love the three Mazda's I have owned. They are so very good, reliable, and fun vehicles!!

I gave mazda a try in 2020, just because i liked the looks of the car. going strong 3 years in still loving it.

I bought a 2018 Mazda 6 brand new from a dealer. Love it! Great car, reasonable price, fun to drive and has the best cooled front seats of probably any car out there. Work way better than the cooled seats on my 2021 Honda Odyssey. Only two complaints: the valve cover gasket and the vvt solenoid failed at about 59,000 miles. Repairs fully covered under 60,000 mile warranty. Also, sometimes the entertainment console won’t come on (just like in this video!), and I have to stop and restart the car. No big deal there, though. Would definitely recommend Mazda 6 .

I wish they went back to making vehicles like the late 90's to mid 2000's.

I've got a 2018 Mazda 6 GT with the turbo. Has been a great car. If I don't press hard on the gas, I get 33 mpg, easily. Sometimes even when not on the highway. The interior is clean and quality. Made in Japan, too.

This is why I like you mate. You say it how it is. I passed my test in a Mazda in the UK in late 1970s. Rotary engine, cost an arm and leg in insurance. but was great

I wish I still had my Mazda Protege. Great car, got me through years of great driving. Changed my oil every 5,000 miles. Had very few things done on it, changed to Michelin tires, and never had wheel issues. I got talked into getting a Hyundai, and gave my protege to my brother. He drove it past 200,000 miles and then he gave it to one of his in-laws, and it drove another 100,000 miles and then it died. I guess the in-law just didn't take care of it. Best car, engine made in JAPAN!

One more thing about manual transmission Scotty forgot to mention is if your battery gets too weak to start the car, you can push start it by depressing the clutch, put gear in 1st and come up on the clutch and the engine can start.
