I have a 1996 mazda b3000 flrd v6 5 speed that I just fully serviced and revived from sitting 8 years under a tree in Florida. No rust. All is good mechanically , so my ???? Seen another video of you saying ford dropped the ball and labeled oil fills for 5w20 when it should have been 5w30 this has 84k and id like to keep it for a while. So 5w20or 5w30???
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the cylinder deactivation feature on the Mazda 3. I’m guessing that means it’s not a problem on these Mazda’s?
@@duffsvids No cylinder deactivation on the Turbo models.
It maybe not a tin cann but is it a plastic want to be cann lol 😂
Hi, thanks for the thorough review. I believe Mazda's AWD-system continuously meausres grip levels and on a dry road will only run the front wheels, due to increased fuel economy, which is why it actually measures up to the reported MPG statement.
I was all set to buy a Toyota until I realized Mazda is what Toyota used to be.
@paulboden7850 this is so true!
I was driving one the other day as a rental to go see my parents and nothing but high RPMs, rubber made doors and lifter tick at 16k miles...
I’ve had my new CX 50 for almost a month. And I am always impressed when in park and idling how quiet it is. You can’t even tell it’s on! It’s even quieter than my old Lexus! It’s not perfect, but it’s still a very nice vehicle!
@@towerofresonance4877 you must’ve had it in sport mode then if it was revving high
@@eleanormassaro5195 I’ve been thinking about getting one. I love the way they look. I have a 3 hatchback like he’s showing here and I love it.
I think Mazda is the only Japanese automaker that doesn't make CVTs. They still use a regular automatic tranmission
I hate CVT transmissions they suck
Thank God. I’d rather have a DCT than CVT if I’m driving an automatic
Hopefully they keep it that way. Exact reason I just bought a Mazda 3 for commuting to work- I was not buying a CVT and so far the little Mazda 3 hatchback is an awesome car.
cvt is rubish. mazda is not stupid.
Toyota makes the best CVT, as they use a launch gear, but I'd rather they used a step transmission as Mazda does.
I like how Mazada uses good quality materials inside their cars.
We’ve had 4 CX-5’s …… UNREAL Build-Quality …… and they Run well and don’t break !!
@@brianfeeney9493 over the years?
Since 2016
@@brianfeeney9493 Wow. This may just be my total inexperience with cars, but isn't 4 cars in 6 years quite a lot?
Lease vehicles 🚗 !!! 😄
Was a Toyota guy the past 15 years and Mazda wasn’t even on my radar when I began looking at first. When looking at subcompact SUVs this channel was one of the firsts to come up. Saw a CX-30 at a stoplight and fell in love. Six weeks later couldn’t be more thrilled with it. So glad not to have to worry about a CVT. And I actually look forward to running errands!
Mazda makes beautiful cars - inside and outside. Thank you for continuing to highlight Mazda vehicles.
Honestly the build quality, driveability, engine, and a normal 6-speed automatic are the reasons I recommended my folks get the CX-9 over the Toyota Highlander, and Honda Pilot at the time. Haven't had so much as a hiccup since they got it in 2017.
Highlanders and Pilots don't use CVTs
@@Winterstick549 I didn't say they did.
Yes I just love the fact that Mazda gives you a choice of engines and best of all no no no CVT thank you Mazda one day I will own one 😊
As the main Mazda enthusiast in this channel since 2012. Im very pleased with Scotty giving Mazda the credit they’ve been due.
Nice to have Scotty onboard finally with Mazda, for now anyway. The 3s were never slow.
It's great that Mazda put the temperature gauge back on the dash. Stupid not to have it.
I got mine 2 months ago and love the way it drives and handles
I just bought a CX 5 a week ago and I'm in love with it. Super well built and more luxury that it's competitors.
mazda is the BEST manufacturer for the money for the past 10 years (at least)...... I've owned 8 since 1991 (2 automagic, 6 manual trans) and all of them have gone for over 250k miles (except of course for the 3 I currently own; 02 tribute-188k; 16 6-155k; 20 cx5-62k)...... good to see that you're finally coming around scotty.......
Hi, what happened with the 2020 cx-5? Why did it quit on you at 62K? I'm looking at cx-5's and want someone's opinion on reliability who actually owned one! Thanks!
@@sherisisco4029 also, .... we got the "touring" edition, not the base or grand touring. I stay away from the "turbo"s and all wheel drive models since their repair costs typically are through the roof. couldn't be happier....
I drove a 2016 Mazda 3 until I upgraded to a 22 Mazda 3 turbo AWD I love these cars so much
Still driving my 1990 Mazda 626 Sedan as my daily driver. 32 years old and clocked up over 310,000 miles (500,000kms!!!). Still drives like new! .......
My late father bought me the 1990 model Mazda 626 sedan in Prestige Silver Metallic colour, back in 1990 for my 18 birthday and as a bribe for me to go to University!! Lol!! He bought it brand new, fully imported from Japan (he paid 32,000 Australian dollars for it back then!)... I live in Melbourne, Australia! In fact it is an Automatic 2.2i. I have never had a problem with it in 32 years and after 310,000 miles (500,000kms!!!!) !!!!!!!!! ... still drives like a dream, like new! Its unreal ... and l absolutely will NEVER part with this car, for both sentimental reasons and my absolute love for this car. I have religiously taken it to get it serviced (oil change and general maintenance) every 6 months (absolutely without fail!) over the course of its current 32 years. Every mechanic tells me my car is never going to die ... it is in incredible condition. None of them can believe it.
I recently purchased a new 2022 Mazda 3 sedan. I had to wait 8 months for it to arrive here in Melbourne, from Japan .... and am also absolutely thrilled to own the Mazda 3 too. It is a breathtakingly stunning and gorgeous car!!!
I now drive both cars as my daily driver ... a couple of days a week in my '90 Mazda 626 and a couple of days a week in my new 2022 Mazda 3.
Like l said, as long as l live, l will never ever, ever part with my Mazda 626. LOVE IT BEYOND WORDS!!! It even has the famous oscillating vents!!!
If anything ever failed in the car, l am lucky to have some experts here in Melbourne (company called 'ALLMAZ') who deal with all things Mazda related and who have over 1 million Mazda parts from models of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
My 1990 Mazda 626 is a phenomenal car and absolutely incredible. So happy l own and drive this retro beauty.
Warmest hello from Melbourne, Australia 🇭🇲
im driving a 2001 mazda 626, and it runs and drives so good. gonna keep it until the wheels fall off. im clocked in at 77k miles on it.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's amazing
@@pdut23 Thankyou so much!!!! Warm hello from Melbourne 🇭🇲
Have you ever been to Japan Scotty? It's pretty amazing. I bought my stereo system there in 71 and still going strong, pioneer qx8000 receiver, speakers, etc. I do clean it once in a while but that's it. Cost 179.00.
When I came home those were over 400.00 at Servex electronics. Of course I was in the Marines and just left Vietnam.

This is Al Scotty. Just changed my name and avatar. Same ph number.
I was in Japan last month and it was amazing. The food the people the culture. Affordable too because of the yen being like 140 to a dollar. I’ve heard about the xenophobia but I didn’t see any of that the people were soooo kind (and this is coming from a brown Indian-American) also thank you for your service
Semper Fi MF’s💪🇺🇸
Semper Fi to the corporations and bankers sending poor pawns to d1e for them and committing crimes against humanity. Lol
Just sold a 2012 Mazda 3 and kind of wish I hadn’t. Really great mileage, handled like a 240Z.
Hey sold mine too last week..2012 mazda3 for $10750 to carvana..great car..never imagined i would get that much back for 10 yrs old car..
@@yavuzdogan6828 how many miles was it
I sold 2010 mazda 3 too and regret instantly
@@johnsovann7194 Why did you sell it?
@@xombiekat13 I sold it cause of work related. It was also my plan to drive till it collapsed, had 235,000km on the thing and zero engine problem didn't have to go to a mechanic except for oil change, so reliable.
Hey Scotty! Thanks again for featuring a Mazda. Best cars out there today, in my opinion.
You are probably aware that the Mazda turbo is a special design that runs cool and does not rely on mixture enrichment to prevent knock! (Unlike their competitors).
How about you do an episode about Mazda's superior turbo design?
Superior in burning oil 😞
@kevin starski Show me a turbo that isn't.
Also, that was a limited run only, and not a design flaw. It is due to a faulty seal.
@@houtyfish273 disappointing on a new car that we thought was going to be a keeper. Constantly worrying about oil level is a no go.
@kevin starski I hear you. So you got one of them? Sorry to hear that.
I have to point out that oil burning is common in a lot, if not most turbo cars, as well as reliability issues, and Mazdas design mitigates most of those issues. They unfortunately had a batch of faulty valve seals or something, and I believe they are working on a fix. Hopefully soon!
We have one that doesn't use oil, and it is a dream
We have a '21 CX5 CE turbo AWD. Put a burgermotor sports JB4 tuner on it. Its a lot of fun to drive. Ours doesnt use a drop of oil either.
As the owner of a 2019 hatch (2.5L N/A AWD 6spd Auto) I've been waiting for this review! Scotty hits all the key points that make the Mazda3 a criminally underrated car.
Mostly because it's lost in the fog of the "Hot Hatch" genera. ....No, it's not a "Hot hatch", it's not supposed to be, and it's not trying to be. Mazda has said that this
is not a direct or spiritual decedent of the Speed3. It is however still a pure drivers car following the mantra of "driving slow cars fast" and if you are of the opinion that "Miata is always the answer" and you get that cars like the Toyobaru Twins don't need forced induction to be what they are supposed to be, then you will "get" the design of this iteration of Mazda3.
As someone that was cross shopping a wild array of cars both in and outside the Mazda3's segment, it is the perfect combination of things that I wanted of a car without a lot of the things I felt the other cars in the segment or genre I was looking at gave up on for "higher HP and/or boost gauges". It certainly doesn't have any of the reputational stench attached to its fandom that most other "drivers cars for enthusiasts" have.
Want a great Drivers car? Are you looking at the Hot Hatch Segment, or their base offerings, or the GT86/BRZ/Miata but maybe want something a touch more practical, refined, and or domesticated, and something that won't make you a member of the flat brimmed fanboi brigades? Check out the Mazda3. And hey, realistically, the hatch might be too small for some - good news: it comes in a Sedan too!
I owned a 2010 Mazdaseed 3 and that was a hot hatch!
The strong influence of Japanese philosophy in the design and company culture, like Jinba Itaia (unison between horse and rider) Kodo (design in motion) and Kaicho (harmony) make me feel I'm in something truly premium.
You are, your in a Mazda 😁😁
Own 2 Mazda vehicles, me and my wife love them. I have a 3 hatchback and she has a cx5. Scotty hits on the facts perfectly.
Sounds familiar! My wife drives a CX-5 as well and LOVES IT! And now I'm going to buy a Mazda 3 hatch with the 2.5 turbo engine in Soul Red Metallic! Can't wait! Mazda today is what Toyota and Honda USED to be -- simply the highest quality and most fun vehicles on the road!
As a Mazda customer, and as someone who is currently leasing a 2021 Mazda3 sedan (non-turbo), I will definitely be financing this vehicle. Although I have been looking around for faster cars, this Mazda is just special in its own unique ways and I'm glad they use such high-quality materials and craftsmanship for such an affordable price. You just can't beat it
I had a 2004 Mazda 3 Hatchback and LOVED everything about it. Even after 10 years the body and paint still looked great, the car ran great. Then I made the mistake of passing it down to my then 20-year-old son and...rest in peace to my Mazda.
I hope your Mazda died well...☹️
Sorry for your loss. I hope you didn't give your son any peace after that...
Finally a mazda review!
Test drove a 3 hatch and a civic hatch, and the 3 outshines the civic in so many ways. It's a gorgeous car and felt amazing!
Just bought my 2020 mazda 3 premium AWD lease and I couldn't be happier. This thing performs on the highway with a smooth ride, never let me get stuck in nyc snow and it literally has the features I wanted in an audi a4 at a fraction of the cost. Not to mention, this is a beautiful looking car! Inside and out!
I have this car in the 2022 Sedan, but Naturally Aspirated and I love it!
I've owned 3 Mazda 3's over the past 15 years. The improvement generation over generation is really impressive. The 2018 vs the 2012 was such a huge jump. This current Gen is yet another step up.
I have a 2012. Even that is an amazing car.
Bought mine back in 2019 with AWD and I absolutely love it. Super reliable and well built. I drive it on snow sometimes and it handles well.
Turbo or non turbo ? How's it been ?
@@codezalo5773 Non turbo. It's been almost 4 years now and drives really well without a single issue. Just a simple oil change every 5k miles and it's good to go.
@@jaex26 sweet, thanks for the input. Since I'm probably going semi used I just get side tracked wanting like the bose sound system and like leather seats, it's just searching for one that has my specific wanted features. Glad to hear it's doing good for you, cheers!
Some cars infotainment systems are too complex with the climate controls integrated to the system. I like on this car how the climate controls are separate and easy to use
I use to own a Mazda 323 back in the early 90s while serving in the US Navy, I forget what year she was, but it was my first financed vehicle while stationed in Norfolk VA.
Those 323s are getting hard to find. I've been wanting a 323gtx for a few years, maybe when I'm done messing with my
Merkur I'll look into getting one
Scotty starting the year off by shocking the entire car industry yet again!
According to Scotty, the Entire Car Industry spends every second day Shocked!
I have PTSD after watching this.
I got the 2021 CX-5 Grand Touring - didn't need the turbo and this trim has everything I wanted. Love the red paint, Bose speakers and the cabin is quiet. I make the payment each month without cringing - happy to pay for this fine car. I'll have it for a long time.

Dear Scotty: You are a hero. I cannot even begin to thank you enough for your insights. I'm a new follower and happened to find you after my Hyundai Sonata was STOLEN (yes, via the USB TikTok challenge) and totaled. I've been straddled with the unexpected expense of purchasing another car in a market that has rapidly advanced in the 7 years since I first purchased my Sonata without a good place to begin researching. Thank you for making your no-nonsense, practical, and easy-to-follow videos.
My first/current car is a 2013 Mazda 3. Been a huge Mazda fan ever since. Bought it in the beginning of 2019 and it's still going strong despite putting many miles on it!
I bought a 2014 Mazda 3 itouring manual transmission brand new. It has 220k miles on it and runs great. Only thing I’ve replaced is the clutch around 190k.
I absolutely love the praise Mazda has been receiving lately.
The Great Reset in the door pocket! YES!!!
🤪🤡💩 Manual
That's mine ☺️ thanks 👍
Thanks for your impressions. Mazda does sound like they’ve evolved well. Happy New Year, Mr. Kilmer, Family and fans.
My 2021 just passed 54k miles. Zero trouble. 30 mpg average.
My mate had the last generation Mazda 3, and it was a great car to drive. Even after 180,000 K's (Australia) It was still in good condition. That thing did a lot of driving and never gave up.
Hey Scotty I am a happy Mazda CX-50 owner - I drive the Turbo Premium in Zircon Sand - please test drive a CX-50 some time and share with your audience because it deserves to be heard about!
Got myself a 2022 Mazda 3 Carbon Edition 2.5 L 4-Cylinder Non-turbo engine. It was my first actual new car purchase and it was well worth the research/wait. You won’t regret getting yourself one of these because it is a BEAUTY of a car, inside and out. The red interior is the cherry on top.
I have the 2022 CX 5 carbon edition with the red leather seats. Totally agree with you that it’s a beautiful car inside and out!
I actually had a first gen 2008 mazda 3 touring which I bought second hand in 2011 with 30k miles on it. Contrary to what you said, It was not a bad car at all. It looked way much better than the corollas and civics of the time and it always started alright even in very cold weather. The only real problem with it is rust especially if you live in places where they put a lot of salt on the roads. But if you live in say, CA its not really a problem.
I have a mazda protège 98 and still drive it today.
Mazda has stepped up their paintwork to another level, I would be shocked to find they still have this issue in their newer vehicles
@@kaeden2502 I sold Mazada's in the 90's, rust was an issue, gave them a bad name in northern climate, they have solved that issue with galvanizes panels, sealing up the underneath, and paint, I had 2008 cx9 made in Japan, the car came from MN fleet vehicle, we drove till 180000 in northern climate, did not have one spec of rust on when we sold it in 2016, 2014 cx5 same with 150000 miles, If I was selling Mazda's now that is the first selling point I would bring up.
What if you live in Long Island New York?
@@lewisbrazil5485what if you live in New York?
Mazda: ALWAYS better than Kia/Hyundai
2) never has/had CVT transmission
3) #1 best in Crash-test ratings for the last few years: CX5
4) best Driving experience, like Honda
(Toyota’s feel robotic,
By comparison)
I’d rather have a Hyundai Kia than a Mazda but you go ahead and buy a Mazda.

I've just bought a Mazda3 saloon, 2.0 e-Skyactiv-X. Getting up to 55-60mpg (UK imperial) on the motorway driving at the speed limit. Love it so far..

Thank you so much Mazda ❤️
I bought a 2019 3 Hatchback and I am so in love with it. I got the red interior and it’s unbelievable how high quality it feels for the price I paid. I think they’re becoming what Toyota used to be
Glad to see you love Mazda. I have owned Miata’s since 1992. 3 different editions. Now THAT is a super fun car to drive, ‘spirited motoring’. And the Japanese know how to build a car, I changed oil, windshield wipers, tires, and one time in 30 years the car window didn’t go down because there was a pebble underneath the button, Mazda has never given me problems.
Your Mazda has the ugly grid?
I really liked the Mazdaspeed 6 when it came out. Six speed manual, turbo, all wheel drive. I see them once in a while on the road.
That’s the golden trifecta for me. Not easy to find a car like that other than a Subaru or VW Golf R
The 6 is a solid car. Too bad is now discontinued.
@@Maxfli82 I also like the look of the Volvo S60 R . I think it had a five cylinder, turbo, and all wheel drive. I like the way the rear end looks on that car. And a six speed manual.
@@Maxfli82 I've always wanted to try and drop the ECU and powertrain from a speed 6 into the 6 wagon. Tickles just thinking about it.
Good news, 3.3L Turbo inline mazda 6 sport back is coming in late 2025 baby
There the famous book on the passenger door ‘’The Great Reset’’
My 2021 cx5 awd non-turbo gets 32mpg mixed driving. Absolutely phenomenal
Those have cylinder deactivation, probably even dramatically better on a long highway drive. Can't say that much for my turbo cx5 but it's even more fun to drive!
@@joshcarlson9352 i got 35-40 coming back from the dealer on a long drive.
@Michaels Carport would you prefer us to just put the cancer back in the air?
Scotty, that's a 2019, it comes standard with a rearview camera. Had one for 3 years, only sold it because I needed a truck. Mine was 2019, awd, had nearly every option and was under $29,000! Great cars
It's at least 2021. That's when turbo was offered. The owner probably installed an extra camera to have a permanent rear view and not only when backing up.
It's mine, it's a 2023
@@lajya01 oh btw thats my front/rear 24/7 dash cam
Ahh, forgot the turbo. I had a 2019 Soul red. First year with AWD. Loved it
@@jackpowell8155 did you enjoy reading The Great Reset?
If I were in the market for a new car I would definitely buy a Mazda. My aunt's 2018 Camry is less fun to drive than my 04 Corolla.
IMO there’s a lot of advantages to older cars. Way cheaper, cheaper parts, less sensors and electronics to break, less emissions handicaps, generally easier to work on yourself.
Define "fun to drive".
I drove an '03 corolla until a couple months ago, when I bought my current car. Excellent handling even when pushing it to around 100mph. Was a fun little ride.
@@DarkEnigma1115 how many miles did you put on the Corolla? I’ve got a 2006 Matrix pretty similar to that, so I know what you mean by that “Toyota feeling.” Those things in stick shift are fun
@N808’s Garage is your Corolla a manual?
You’ve always said turbo engines cause shorter engine life…. What’s different with this one?
I think it's because the size of the engine paired with the turbo. 2.5L T is pretty big for a small car
@@pmo8135 yeah exactly. It’s not a tiny engine that leans heavily into a turbo
Bigger engine > smaller engine for turboing.
Right Michael , turbos run HOTTER causing oil to break down. ANY overheating issue is death in a turbo engine. Much rather have a Naturally Aspirated engine & a regular transmission. So much better all the way around.
It' a NON turbo engine
Another spot on review. Love that Mazda isn't simply following the pack and that they're locked in to building top quality driving cars. My 6sp manual G25 Astina sedan is averaging 5.8l/100km (just over 40mpg in the old money) on mostly highway and country roads. This car puts a smile on the dial every time I get behind the wheel. Unfortunately the turbo variant is not available in right hand drive markets.
Did Scotty call my Mazda 3 ugly?!?!?! A face only a mother could love. Mine looks like it has a goofy grin on it. At least the new one has a temperature guage.
Fully agree with comments regarding CVT and touchscreen. I like a manual car that I drive and experience, not some box that I sit in and am carried along for the ride! Traditional cabin with proper switches and dials are far better than touchscree, why would you want to have to scroll through menus to put heated seat on or change heater setting?
I grabbed the 23' turbo hatch 2 months ago. I Absolutely love it. I cross shopped and drove several competitors and it felt a league ahead in almost every category. Its the perfect mix of comfort/luxury/sport for a daily driver and I would suggest it to anyone.
@@mezzb the only gripe I have is that they don’t have a slip diff like the si. And the awd doesn’t come in a manual.
How does this compare with the 2023 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback? Deciding between the two.
@Alex unfortunately the civic was still super hot a few months ago and I was only able to sit in one, didn't get a chance to drive it. I hear they're nice but the mazda feels more premium and the turbo vs the civic touring would be night and day in terms of power.
I just wish Mazda kept the 2.0l skyactiv engine as I often get over 40mpg with mine.
I like that AJ's The Great Reset was in the door
That's mine!!! I've been waiting for this video to go up and someone to spot it! xD
In my first Mazda. CX-5. I’ve owned so many cars in my 53 years. This is my favorite so far.
I have 2016 cx-5 has 91 thousand miles and I love it .. its my first mazda and mine was made in Japan.. its very reliable and fun to drive..
I wished I could afford one. They're beautiful!
Work hard ,improve your self and work,concentrate,,try to save money by stop buying unnecessary stuff,,then you will have one maybe in the next few months,,i did what i mentioned and bought my first mazda last year its a used 15 cx5 and iam very satisfied,,nothing is impossible my friend,,
@@BigBoss-tk6lh I used to work very hard until I got a spine injury. It has really taken a toll on my life. I used to love to work without pain.
@jozani8407 sorry about that,,wish you get better health ,,take care,,there is always hope,,
"You expect to feel the road... BECAUSE you're driving on the road" Love it❤
1st gen 2004 Mazda 3 hatch owner, absolutely still in love with it just as much today as I was when I bought it. I'm about to toss in my second motor, I will be loyal to this brand until I croak because of their commitment to quality and the love they show their enthusiasts. Zoom zoom!!
Scotty killing it in 2023! “Nasty Shark” 🦈 styling Love it! Made in Japan 🇯🇵 true that!!
I cracked up at the "ugly old ones" for I have such a car in an 07 mazda 6 and still love zoom zooming and cornering. Best old car I've owned.
Owned 3 Mazdas so far: 1991 Miata 1.6L, 1994 Miata 1.8L, 2011 Mazda3 2.5L NA hatch -- all with manual transmissions. They were all great cars. Never had any issues with them. Rock solid reliable and were fun to drive.
And what do you drive now
At last Scotty tatses the sweet nectar of the Mazda3 turbo awd. Love my 2021 turbo premium plus sedan....comfort, refinement, and fun even with the archaic torsion beam rear axle. Very pleased you enjoyed your experience, I knew you would! Take care
Happy new year Scotty from Estonia!
I love my 2022 mazda3. Scotty is spot on as always
Mazda, the cars with the ugliest grids,ok
The Skyactiv engines are so cool, and they seem to be reliable, and you can even get LPG convertion kits for them and do LPG HCCI which is pretty bananas.
I own a new 2023 FWD 2.5L NA hatch. 100% recommend, I love it! I wish I could afford the turbo, but the NA is still very fun! Very efficient, fun, zippy, great quality. Definitely a lot for your money.
*NOT BUYING NEW CAR for ATLEAST 3 years, but debating on Mazda(MADE IN JAPAN)
I have a 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio and that Mazda looks similar with it’s specs and features. Hell, that Mazda probably has a dipstick for checking the oil- something the Alfa lacks!
Can verify we can check our oil levels via dipstick. The Alfa really lacks one?
@@majestikmastrb8r689 Oil level on the Stelvio is checked via a menu selection on the car's computer display. It's easy and clean, but I guess new and unfamiliar to me.
The Great Reset book! I love it!!!
Have a 2021 Mazda 6 Carbon Edition that I got in December 2021, and it's amazing! Classy looking on the outside, luxurious interior with leather, and no cheap feeling plastic. Couldn't be happier with it! 😁
Yes, the Mazda 6 is a great car. I own a 2017 Mazda 6 Touring model - it's really a wonderful, high quality car! I'm just sorry that they discontinued offering the 6 in the US ☹️
@@johnw9245 there were rumors they were bringing a new version of it with 6 cylinders and RWD.
@@TheItalianDude96 Yes, I heard about the possibility of a Mazda 6 with six cylinders & RWD but I'm think that was just a rumor like you said. I'm afraid we live in the era where SUV's are the dominant configuration. I'm not really an SUV guy but the Mazda CX-50 seems very nice 👍
@@johnw9245 been eyeing up those CX-50's myself!
Scotty, you have been doing some excellent reviews on Mazdas. I think I’ll be shopping for one in ‘23
you've made me quite comfortable with my purchase, thanks for all the help. made the choice easy
I have this exact car and it is excellent! It is surprisingly usable for its small size
Scotty you're gonna electrocute us with all these shocks the last month.
We have a red Mazda 3 sedan 2.5 (no turbo in Australia ? ) it will arrive around May and will be my partners first new car.
I just bought a used 2018 Mazda 3 I just love it, this might be the next 5 year down the road,
Nice book in the passenger side door. Everyone should learn about that book and understand what is coming. Maybe if enough figure it out we can stop it.
Nice one, Scotty; you pretty much nailed ALL the reasons why I just bought one of these (2019 manual GT SportTech) instead of a Toyota. It's a fantastic car, just as you say.
Love the Great Reset book in the passenger door pocket 👍
😂
Yea just casually in the door pocket of a man we can’t name 😂
You vil own nothing and be happy. Not even this Mazda.
Hey thanks for noticing! That's why I put it there! AJ was right 🤣
I love the shade constantly being thrown at Tesla! LOL. I have a 2021 Mazda 3 hatch that I got back in September and I freaking love it!!
Bought my Mazda 3 Turbo Hatch in August and I’m loving it!!
2021 mx5 is best car I ever owned
I appreciate your knowledge of vehicles and thank you for sharing it. Happy new year Scotty.
GORGEOUS SCOTTY... I PURCHASED A 21 TURBO AWD HATCHBACK... 2 YRS AGO.. STILL DOING WELL.. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL..TONS OF POWER 320 LBS OF TORQUE
My first car was a black 2014 Mazda 3. Loved that car.
I've had my 21 Mazda 3 turbo for 2 years, and it's been great!
Traded my Camry for one of these a few months ago; my first Mazda. The thing actually has some soul to it and feels much more premium. My Camry rode smoother and quieter, but the interior was made of cheap materials, creaked all the time, and closing the doors felt like tin cans clanging together. The engine will last forever, but overall still felt cheap inside and out compared to the Mazda.
Well if it’s any comfort in 2022 mazda did get top safety and reliability rating. The cx-30 was rated as the second most reliable subcompact suv.
Traded in my 2022 honda hybrid accord for a CX5 a month ago, and this car actually makes me like commuting! Not even exaggerating
Why?
@@toddsmith1617 it’s the driving dynamics that got me. and it’s made in Japan so I know for a fact that it is reliable. 18months since my purchase and no issues so far but we will see
I don't find the old ones ugly.
Would love to have a 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6.
The Mazda3 review I’ve been waiting for, thank you. I want one
Scotty has been showing Mazda a lot of love lately.
@@cardo1111 yes he has
I have been thinking of buying a Toyota or Honda now,I’m thinking about Mazda CX 9 😂 bc of your videos!
Thank you Scotty 🙏🏻
I Love my Mazda 3 2011.
I drove it from east coast to west coast in the matter of three nights, four days. From Baltimore Maryland to Portland Oregon. Total drive time of about 48-50 hours, 2900 miles. No issue at all. Touch wood!
Got up on March 24 2022 went to good Jiffy lub center did synthetic oil change for my car put my luggage in the car and start my journey to west coast alone in the car. It had already 116K miles on it, my room mates doubted my journey with this 11 year old car and having 110k plus miles on it but I know my car, had no issues with what so ever anytime. Touch wood!
Lucky for me the weather was good all across my journey no heavy snow.
It felt great, I got to drive through the rocky mountains frequent 10000 ft plus mountains, My car smoothly got up the hills and rolled down nicely. Went over one of the highest mountain in the United States it felt very good.
You take care of your car properly it take cares you well.
Mazda is the brand to be trusted. Made in Japan. Thank you!!!
