I spat out my tea when I saw the price. *Cough*Lexus.......
Hello from Mexico… you are right… the Leon is a Great hot Hatch… love it
How many sales have they lost vs the rear drive layout they used to have ? I don’t see many if any.
BMW made a ugly car even uglier 😂
Great walk through - glad this exists albeit at a steep price for a small hatch. Naming convention makes more sense than Audi - await full drive to see if has dynamic depth the Mini platform usually lacks.
Looks like a Fiat Punto 😂
I have the Corolla Cross Atmos Hybrid AWD and it is perfection. Cool to drive around Gold Coast and The Northern Rivers.
I'm hopeful, because they did away with the EV Soul in the US market and I hate that. I bought a 2015 Kia Sould, then the following year they had an EV version and I wanted it sooo bad! Ugh, I hate that I couldn't get a Soul EV. Hope I can get an EV3 when it launches in the US.
Hahahah. Btw whats with the Peugot headlights? The drls that was bmws identity just vanished ..
Great review Ponch. Do they lock you in the cupboard and only let you out every 3 months?
Hell no
Nice omega seamaster bro
Looks like ceed
New kia ceed
Give this car the 1.8L hybrid from the Corolla it would sell like hotcakes at a $2000 higher price across the range.....plus direct injection is not good for longevity
Great review. Typical of BMW. Controversial design.... And Nathan has been working hard in the gym!
Test
Uglier from outside, cheap disaster inside
I liked the previous gen on the outside. This one looks like an egg.
The rear looks cool.
Not to my taste but great review Ponch.
Regards to the rear seat leg room you must be a big guy cause I’m 5 10 and have lots of knee room in the back with my drivers seat in position
I really like this gentleman, such a good presenter and body builder
Pulsing indicators first appeared on Mazdas. If it has a PPF then i doubt the exhaust will sound good
Wow, the interior looks much cheaper and plasticky than before.
How so? Soft touch on the back doors which most of its competitors don't have. Seats look awesome. Screen isn't a stick on like in the upcoming Golf r 8.5.. sook
hope it will be a fun little car
WHY would you get this over a Golf R?
Because the golf r interior is horrendous. Least this looks sporty
OMG… can’t believe they are able to make it look worse 😂
and slower
How does it look worse? The front end of the previous m135 was so bad.
I take back all the insults I made to the original 1 series hatch
Sorry, but that dashboard design sucks.
I’m happy with my F40. Simple idrive 7 with physical buttons.
Looks awful don't like the way the inside is going with less buttons
This looks like a face lift car with very minimal effort to improve from the previous model. The One series has been a disappointing series since the previous model was introduced. Should have focus on the petrol version and spend more money and time on the vehicle, you’re not doing well on electric cars. You sales volume is low and why would you continue on this direction?
will it have a plug in version later this year? Like the 4x4 plug-in on the x1 ? Or something similar ? Or will it have a mild hybrid with a 4x4 ?
interior quality looks terrible, looks lower quality than the new i30 / elantra n
Looks terrible
My eyes! The goggles they do nothing!
🤮 design
First view gets a like 😊
Yeah, no.
MISS U BIBI eK X
the back is too high
Unless they Turbo charge the 3 it will fall further behind,America has it WHY MAZDA AUSTRALIA don't we.
Because it's not made in right-hand drive.
My favortie aussie reviewer. Tum baykah
Best hatchback imo
Sedan all the way, but that 38k tag looks overpriced... I got a G25 evolve SP (2023) last year and it was 35,500 driveaway.
Unfortunately it boils down to the fact that I don't want algorithm assistance, I don't trust assistance, I think it's dangerous and distracting, and therefore this thing defaulting to having assistance on, means it would annoy me every single time I turned the key. Hard pass.
i Just bought one 350😍😍 tomorrow i will receive it
Excellent, thorough review. I've always enjoyed cars over crossovers and would have considered a Mazda3 las December when I was shopping. Things have unfortunately changed for me though - I'm 63 now and injured my knee in September. It'll never be totally right again and now I see the appeal of crossovers - they're easier to get in and out of. My advancing decrepitude appreciates that.😬 Got a Hyundai Tucson. It's alright. Rather soulless and no fun to drive, but at least it doesn't hurt.
Rear Seat vents? Yall got it made 💯
