Love that you just got straight into it - cut the chatter, cut the noise, you just get straight to what the video says. Keep up the great work
I appreciate that a lot thank you!! That feedback helps!!
There was a 24-second intro
Thank you much. I don’t see the point of having a mercedes, bmw or audi in comparison to Mazda
The radio is amazing for those that love EDM!
Love your get to the point, no fluff, informative Rick Moranis esk delivery. Far too many people make segments like these about themselves, how hip, current and up to date their vocabulary of the moment is or about Their dealership instead of about the relay of valuable information. Thanks for this cut to the chase list of tips, features and navigation of these systems.
I appreciate that a lot, especially the Rick Moranis reference, love that guy, ya this kind of took off in a good way, and like you mentioned I have tried all of those styles and it just gets to be a bunch of BS after a while, thanks for watching and commenting, safe travels!
The auto window down made me smile. Never knew it had that feature on my 2023. Tried it and grinned from ear to ear. Super simple but handy feature on those hot hot days
Then that makes me smile too, glad that it meant a moment for ya! Thanks for watching, nice ride congrats and safe travels #mazdafam
Great video mate keep up the great work 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for the visit
I drive a 2018 and in the coming years I'll upgrade. I have to say that this video was informative and to the point. Gives me info on updates and quirks to note. Love the format.
I appreciate that feedback a lot, thanks for driving a mazda and adding to the discussion!!
Maybe you don’t but they aren’t even in the same class
Great review, thanks!
Hi all from Australia. Took delivery of a June 2022 build Mazda3 last August. This is the skyactiv x spark compression ignition 2 litre engine, 6 speed auto in top trim only. Not a true hcci engine but with an extremely lean(30 to 1) fuel-air ratio ignited by a rich mixture of fuel injected at the top of the compression stroke. It operates like this up to 4000 rpm providing maximum torque at 3000rpm then switching to normal stochiometric(14 to 1)operation from 4000 rpm to redline with normal revability. Fuel economy is 40 us mpg highway ( as high as 45) with urban economy 36 to 38. Our maintenance schedule is 6000 mile or 12 month schedule with severe conditions at half that. However very comfortable, quiet (48 changes to reduce noise and vibration paths in the body and subframes). Just drove it again on a couple of trips longer local running around, noticed the subtlety of the suspension tuning and rear axle is not jumpy. Nothing has gone wrong, everything works and the quality of the assembly/design is first rate. Blind spot monitoring easily makes up for the c-pillars and the driving position can be adjusted for anyone over 6 foot. Great distance car. Cheers
Wow thanks for sharing I really would love to have that engine here! What a machine and, design and engineering to be proud of, does it have paddle shifters on that as well? it looks like you said it is 6 speed auto?, Safe travels congrats!
Thank you! Very informative and specific, ie gas cap hanger, or extra fuses, but important the surge when the car is put in reverse that I am happy to be aware of.
Glad to hear you got something from this, it's not all the time the surge happens, but can be startling if not ready, thanks for watching and adding to the discussion!
Have a 22, it’s never surged going into reverse. Was it still on warm up high idle?
Thanks for sharing! I did not know about putting the wipers in service mode. I did not know about the difference in fuel tank sizes between the turbo and the non-turbo…😊
Glad to help, tank sizes are different when AWD vs FWD, thanks for watching!!
After filming we got our first 2024 Mazda 3(manual), Updated changes, USB-C, wireless apple carplay/android auto,
Does any of this also apply to 2020 cx5. Is there any way to make heated seats turn on on switching the car on. Like older cars we can leave the switch on, so when I remote start, seats start heating up too.
@@SS-wm1wy so the CX5 does not remember anymore the heated seats were left on, likely to reduce any draw on the battery at a cold start up, thanks for adding!
Are all the new Mazda 3 models coming with the updated 10.3” centre screen or just the turbo trim ones?
all models come with 10.3 screen
@@hediranjbar thanks for adding!
Hi, I just traded in my 2017 Mazda 3 GS hatch with luxury package and got a 2024 Mazda 3 GS hatch with luxury package. Thank you very much for your video. It definitely helped when researching what car to get next, and now that I have it, reviewing and learning about some features in the new model.
Congratulations! Thanks for adding to this, safe travels!
Thank you for being super clear and straightforwardly with all this information! ❤ it’s great to know, especially since I’m doing research on potentially buying this car in the future! 🎉
Glad to hear that thanks for watching my lease is up on it and I'm buying it, it's been great!
Great video James!!!
Thanks a lot, you as wells brother!!
Hi James, another quick observation on the Mazda 6 speed auto. Many times I have found myself shifting down on the paddle and find the the transmission was already in the lower gear so I leave it alone until I need engine braking or quick acceleration without having to wait for kickdown. Tuned to respond quickly and very much the best of torque converter autos and smoother than any dual clutch system. Despite the rear suspension being non independent, much more durable and easier to maintain without the myriad of bushings in other systems. Great video channel, to the point. Take care.
couldnt have said it better myself, rear suspension and utilization of the transmission, thanks so much, cheers mate!
Wow! Important information delivered well without BS,
thanks for that! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for covering this useful topic. Having to activate the special, multi-push button for "service mode" to raise the wiper blades, then lower them, and how to resolve the inadvertent nudging of the volume knob "permanently" turning off the info screen are both indications, to me, of an unnecessarily, overly-complex machine (which, I'm sure, is industry-wide, anymore). When a vehicle you live with daily requires returning to the owner's manual for what should be a simple operation, they've gone too far. And yes, I still drive my simple, 22-year-old vehicle, wanting something new, but...
well its funny, I am in possession of an old 23 year old cherokee, I plan to revive for daily use, and have my 10 year old current daily, our 21 mazda 3 sits and used by my wife as she works from home, but nice for updated safety or long trips etc, but I actually think, the younger drivers really like figuring this kind of stuff out, tech or difficult to understand features, if there his a hidden trick to any new product, some people just gobble it up and, become more interested, its weird. one of those things this new auto tech, and sometimes there is nothing more fun than having a bitchfest online or in a forum for some. i.e. the facebook forum for mazda 3 2021+ there is hardly a nice word about the product on there. Thanks for adding and watching!
I'm with both of you, sadly my 17 year old Pontiac roadster just got totalled at the end of 2023 by a distracted driver rolling right in front of me. So viewing videos like this are helping me narrow down to a viable new daily driver so my 7 year old car can become my new project car 🤣
Amen! I've had it less than two months and hate the car. Like always, I needed a car yesterday because I hit a deer, and this was the most affordable. They over-engineer everything these days. 2014 Focus, RIP.
Thank you!
Great video!..bought a 2023 Mazda 3 hatchback and drove it from New England to Arizona last summer even visited my friend in Chicago..fun car to drive and great for road trips...I will do it again this year heading Washington State!...👍
Thanks for adding, that beats my trip from CHi to LA! But I was satisfied too! Mountain sweeps and handling, fuel economy, interior comfort etc, Safe travels and thanks for watching!
Excellent video, sir. Very informative, no frills and straight -to-the-point. Do you know if the newer Mazda 3's have improved on the cabin noise at highway speeds? I own a 2016 Mazda 3 sedan and I do notice a bit... Anyhow, great job on the channel! New sub here.
Thanks a ton!! So they really have worked hard to make the cabin quiet now, I know what you mean I have a 2013 and a 21 and can majorly tell the difference, thanks for the sub and adding! Safe travels!!
I have a 2020 G25 hatch, and it is so much quieter than my previous 2014 Mazda 3. Love it.
I got 2023 mazda sport 3. its so quiet..insulation great.. you cant hear anything
Very nicely done James, I am considering buying a 2024 and these little tips are very important to note!
Glad it was helpful!, thanks for watching!
ugh...so tired of cars without CD players! great informational video.
I miss cd players too, but here's my suggestion: download CZcams Music and stream it to your stereo via Bluetooth if at all possible. It's worth it, trust me.
You just made me realize most vehicles don’t carry them anymore, honestly a shame
the cd player in my 2015 mazda 3 has NEVER been used. i can see why they're getting rid of them. you can literally bring a memory stick and play your entire music library now.
Does the dealership's have the software to load CDs over to memory stick?
@@dannybryant6873 just use bluetooth the play it from your phone then
I'd love if they brought back the rear suspension from the Focus. It did need some extra upkeep, but it dramatically improved handling. Considering the car's audience (people who live to drive and don't want to drown in tech), I think it would be a good move.
Either that, or a new compact four-seater that's a bit 'zoomy', sort of like if a Volvo C30 and a Mazda2 had a baby.
That's interesting 🤔 I don't recall Ford parts since maybe 2009 or 2010, back when Mazda used the volvo s40 platform is that what you mean? I think they wouldn't even have much room to even do a fully independent on this setup, but I'm not an engineer lol, I wish that we carried the new Mazda 2, I'd drive one, but it's only overseas, thanks for watching!!
Yeah.. nothing Ford related in these cars. Ford used Mazda engines and parts.. not the other way around.
So pumped. Going to pick up my 2024 naturally aspirated on Tuesday! Thanks for the tips 👌👌👌
Excellent 👌, you sub to CME do you play? In Chicago? Safe travels!!!
@@JamesOrtonVideo I'm in Canada actually on the far East coast! Cheers!!
Been driving this for 6 months. I LOVE this car. Every time I walk out of Aldi and see it in the car park, aesthetically, I still LOVE this car, it is sick - enjoy!!
@@alandbs329 I've got it now and absolutely loving it. Everything about this car is super rad. How has your experience been maintenance wise?
You just saved me from having to replace the wiper arms, i was about to rip them off. Your video save me a few hundred and heart ache. Cheers mate. P.S. Mazda CX-30 2.5 litre Israel.
wow thanks so much! that means a lot happy to be of service, thanks #mazdafam Safe Travels!!
It’s in that book in your glovebox that most owners neglect to read.
It’s called an OWNERS manual.🤣
@@richardmichael59 Manual is as thick as the Bible and Manual is not user friendly either.
Good vid. Informative, no b.s. Thx.
Glad you liked it!
Hi James, a great option to have available with Mazda’s own 6 speed auto. Paddle shifters standard fit allowing immediate downshift and holding until using the throttle on downhill or finish acceleration and reverts to D. You have the option of selecting manual also and holding a gear(very useful in hilly areas).Unfortunately after three years in this model and update(taillight led’s mostly) the option of skyactiv x and manual transmission in the rest of the Mazda3 range have been removed. Not enough people specified either( less than 3% for manual) couldn’t see the value. A very relaxing car and quite able to hit the redline. Still able to achieve .82 G’s on a skidpan on factory tyres. Enjoy.
I still have the first iteration of the skyactiv 6 speed Rev matching auto, love it and use it often, thanks for the info!
I thought the valve guide issue was addressed in the late 21 model year? According to the tsb for this
JUST FYI if you leave your dome light on it WILL kill the battery. Mine is a 2015 and that happened. I left mine on for 3 days (no I dont drive much) and yep it was dead . But. LOVE LOVE my mazda 3 this is my 3rd one❤
Thanks man!!!!!!!
Happy to help
They're definitely not telling anyone how awful the "active cylinder control" is, especially in the 2024 Manual trans Premium, like mine. The vibration at lower speeds in 2-cyl mode and switch from 4 to 2 on the highway should set the MIL. Worse than misfires on other cars. Dealer says this is "normal". My first and last Mazda.
Is that the cylinder deactivation on a manual transmission?
Mine is only a week old ,came from Japan and i love it so far .
Congratulations safe travels!!
I actually really like the safety measures for the interior lighting and the heated seats. I've seen too many people who forget to turn off their heated seats 😑. And very nice vehicle otherwise.
understood, I always like to practice turning off the a/c before stopping the engine too, safe travels!!
@@JamesOrtonVideowhat is the benefit of turning off the a/c before shutting off the engine? Great video.
@@dillonrobben4488 maybe just an old fashioned habit, but its always less draw on the operations at start up, if that makes sense, thanks a lot for watching and adding!
@@JamesOrtonVideo yeap, and maybe gentler on the battery for the long run. I use to turn everything OFF before I stop the engine, it's an habit I've had for many many years, seems to work for me. My 2013 Sentra, the battery was last replaced in late 2016, and I never changed it (sold the car last june). I now proudly own a brand-new 2023 Mazda3 GX dark blue sedan 6MT :))
@@Dutil48 wow nice ride, congratulations!! exactly the battery life! Safe travels! #mazdafam
Does it come with the HEV version
Thanks for tthese details because i'm waiting for my mazda 3 4x4 👍
Good choice!
4x4?
It’s got a transfer case and low range?
4x4 it's all-wheel drive(in france)

AWD grasshopper.
Nice feature on the windows with the remote. Can they be raised up with the remote too. '23 turbo
Not so far in everything I've tried, thanks for watching and adding
I have an old Mazda 6 from 2006., no need to click-click-click before pulling windows down or up. Just press and hold unlock (for down) or lock (for up).
My European 2020 skyactiv-X don't have this fonctionality, my 2009 3 had it, I'm like a bit frustrated : ]
The one thing they definitely don't tell me is how handsome and fun this car is. I wish more people would tell me this known fact 😏
Haha yup I'm trying to do the lords work 😅
I have a 2020 Mazda 3 in EU and sadly the windows trick is not working. Would you know if it was only implemented in newer models or alternatively not implemented in the versions for the EU market? Thanks for the great vid anyhow, really enjoyed it!
I have not found anything that would work, thanks for watching!!
that rain sensing option for the wipers is very important going into a car wash. wonder how many people have got their wipers torn off forgetting to disable it or not knowing how to disable it
Ya, I wonder too, thanks for adding and watching!!
I own a 2013 MazdaSpeed3 & a 2018 Mazda3 Automatic. Really want a 2024 AWD Turbo!
nice rides! Thanks for adding, safe travels!!
👍🏼👍🏼
Really wish this turbo model was released in Australia
also indonesia 😢
Manual? 😮 wow. Save the manuals. Congrats on this vids success. You earned it!
Thank you!! I hope you have been well too!!
Nice tips, been looking at these, very under rated vehicle. they have a strong identity and are different from other cars in the class. ty
thanks for adding! 🏁
I have a 22' manual m3 and I'm still in love with this car a year and a half later
Just got my '21 Mazda 6 Signature's valve seals repaired under warranty. Looks like Mazda is getting the message compared to a year or so ago (and the two class action lawsuits about same issue.) Nice video.
Thanks, mine was resolved as well, it's why we can't have nice things 😆 I don't think any car will be perfect, thanks for adding and watching!
Sadly in France, only 2.0L naturally aspired 122hp or 186hp is available, we egt one with 150hp in 2023. But i'm still looking to get this car, I like it so muuuch
Got one,love it❤
congrats! thanks for stopping by!
What's up with the low oil light??
Are the taking the Bose out of the carbon editions for 2024? I just see an 8 speaker system listed in the ones I've looked at.
That is the move on the 24's :(
@@JamesOrtonVideo that sucks. Guess I'll have to find a remaining 2023 to get one that still has it. There is no premium sedan for 2024 and the premium hatch is manual transmission only so no other options to get the Bose in 2024 I guess.
Fuel consumption???
great vid
Much appreciate you watching, thanks!
My 2019 doesn’t do the auto window roll down? Can it be retrofitted by a software upgrade?
I believe it started on 21's, I imagine there would be software plus specific window relays or regulator parts associated with the feature, thanks for watching!!
You should have mentioned the coolant temp gauge as well, that intended operation is for the gauge to drop due to cylinder deactivation. This was very concerning to me when i first bought the car,but the dealer confirmed its working as intended
Thanks for adding to the discussion 👍 safe travels and thanks for watching!!
what are your setting for the Bose system?
On this occasion I had it at factory settings 👌, but at home its usually pretty bassy and mid treble
I have a 2019 Mazda 6 that at 5,000 miles on oil got a low oil level light. I'm at 45,000 miles did the oil change and got 4.5 quarts out. Doesn't seem like I should be getting that light with that oil level when full is 5.1 quarts.
im not a tech but some has to stay and lubricate, if I am understanding correctly, nice ride though!
I'm stuck between the Mazda 3 Turbo, CX30 turbo, and the CX50 non turbo(better mpg). My favorite look is from this one you have in the vid but my worry is winter roads. I'm also from the Chicago area and drive an hour north to work and worry about handling, even with awd. Have you or anyone else driven this in winter? Any feed back would be great! Thanks!
Email me james.orton@andersoncars.com youre n my area I have both I can send you, and yes I have the turbo 3 and our and system is incredibly could at managing traction, thanks for watching and adding safe travels!!
Wife has the 3 hatch with Blizzaks, not one issue in a Canadian winter.
I had a 30, no winter issues with snow tires, but was too small for traveling. Traded up to the 50 with the all terrains on the Meridian, incredible in the snow. Awesome year round vehicles. Btw my son has a 5 and no issues either.
@richardmichael59 Thank you! I like the look of the 3 over the 30 but also worry about cargo space. I'll definitely check out the 50 too!
Have you noticed any brake pedal vibrations at certain RPMs?
not really,(new). Though in mine at higher speeds a tiny bit from sitting too much sometimes. thanks for watching!
A good bit snazzier than my 1981 GLC, lol. It lasted a long time though. Lovin' my 2021 CX-5 Grand Touring turbo.
Wow the GLC, lived up to its name! Safe travels in the cx5! Thanks for watching!
I have a 2021 Mazda 3 and when I press the unlock button 4 times and hold the windows do not open, I have tried several times, is this a feature that only applies in North America or to the 2023 model?
That could very well be I think for safety given your area
Who the heck wants to be playing around with this crap when you're driving on the highway and you need to focus on the road? I'd rather have manual windows than all this stupid stuff that is put in these cars simply because they can and not because it's convenient
Available in 2022 on the higher trim levels.
What crap are you referring to?
Power windows, airbags, ABS, rear view camera, radial tires, disc brakes, fuel injection?
What century are you living in?
Try to keep up or just get left behind.
Do you know if there will be an update to the 2023 software so that I can have the same CarPlay functionality in the HUD like the 2024 models now get?
How do you mean functionality in the HUD, The Active Driving Display, or the Mazda Connect Screen? I have yet to see anything other than nav, speed and traffic signs displayed in the ADD, thanks for watching.
@@JamesOrtonVideo I think I read somewhere that the Active driving display that projects on the windshield will now display navigation from CarPlay/android auto. I think it already does this in other Mazdas.
@@10jmsoccerthat's pretty cool if it does! I just ordered a 24 and waiting for it to come in from the port.
Thanks for the information. I recently learned about the "service mode" for the windshield wipers, which is very convenient when washing your car so that the area can be cleaned properly.
More convenient would be to not have to go through all the b.s. for a simple task. Have had my Mazda3 for less than two months and hate it because of stupid crap like this. Will lose my azz, but it will be gone next year.
nice video intro. liked the audio.
Thanks a lot for listening 🎶 and watching!!
The best a information video can be, straight to the point and legit usefull information
Do you know when the 2024 is scheduled to be released? And when it does will I no longer be able to get a brand new 2023 from the Mazda dealership?
They are out now, and yes you still have time to grab a 23, thanks for watching
ha that’s funny I’m in Chicago too, and I think my 23 hatchback is super comfortable/sporty at the same time. A perfect balance.
nice ride, congrats! thanks for the visit!!
@@JamesOrtonVideo yessir!
This car has been essentially unchanged since its introduction in 2019 btw. Thats a good thing btw!
Thanks for watching and adding!!
I think this is the first time I encounter a video that says that in the title and it's actually true, i'm amazed.
I appreciate your viewership and comments! Thanks for watching!!
@@JamesOrtonVideo It's my pleasure, loved the video a lot, nice job!
I bough a 2024 3 hatch PF and there is rattling sound on the driver side window I don't know if I should bring it to the dealership now or wait until its time for the first oil change in a few months...
yes definitely bring it up and address it right away at your first visit to note the issue, safe travels thanks for watching!
Bought a new 2024 today and as soon as I started down the road, tried to adjust audio settings and discovered rear speakers not working. Turned around and went back to dealer. They couldn’t figure it out and have ordered a part they think will fix…
Oh man sorry for the occasion, I hope a fix is quick too, I had a brand new bmw throw a check engine light on the customers way home on monday, Congrats on the ride though and thanks for watching!!
Same as well, the ones without the Bose system do not come with rear speakers apparently. Not sure if yours has the bose system or not.
oh god, they still use the turanza tires stock. Those were so noisy and awful for my 2019, I switched to some Lexani's on amazon and they've been incredible. Much less road noise and better ride quality!
yes they usually try to squeak out something that is just decent enough to fit in frugally, any upgrade from the factory tire has been impressive, performance tire or comfortable passenger tire, thanks for watching!
Great video. Thanks! Actually I had the screen disappear on me and it took me half a day to figure out how to get it back. I have a new '23 x186e mild hybrid 2liter model in Europe. The dealer, the car screen service info, and the manual specify the first oil change around 18000-20000km(12000miles). Seems awfully late to me. Especially since it is a brand new engine. What do you think? Should I "force" them to change it now when I have around 8,500km(5300miles)?
Wow you have a hybrid Mazda 3? That would be gold here, if the owners manual states the same you should be fine, synthetic oils have an incredible long life now a days, congrats on the ride and thanks for viewing and adding feedback, safe travels!!!
Thank you! I went for the sedan in the Mazda soul red. It's beautiful. Overall the mild hybrid is a great car. Great handling and all, the only thing is the power. For a 2liter engine with 186HP there seems to be a lack of torque. If you wanna take over someone, you really gotta downshift. Other than that I love it!
@user-iz6yt7uq3b is there a sport mode? Manual? Or paddle shifters, I do love the 2.0 block, those are pretty much discontinued here, is it the skyactiv x engine sorry for all the questions, just would love to have that tech and setup here,
I'm happy to answer any questions you might have! My model is a six speed manual. I could have gone for the 2.5 liter engine - with the sport mode button- but that one only comes with an automatic transmission here. My 2.0liter model is called "e skyactive x 186". The manual car doesn't have the sport mode. I wish it had it though..I'm a pretty analogue guy, but my motorcycle has that sport mode function and I love it..
What do you mean “force them”?
It’s your vehicle, do it when you want.
18K-20K is ridiculous, why not be proactive on an expensive piece of machinery and do it now?
In Canada I change all my vehicles every 5000kms, or twice a year whichever occurs first.
Severe climate differential from summer to winter puts my vehicles into a severe duty category. For the price of the oil and filter, pretty minor expense to err on the safe side.
does the cylinder deactivation cause any issues with the 2023 & 2024 mazda3's?
not that I ve heard or seen with techs
So nice.
Many many thanks
Hello, I recently bought a 2024 Mazda 3 hatchback turbo premium plus. I noticed that when I’m in idle the car vibrates just a tiny bit, it’s not noticeable but when I pay attention to it i can feel it. Is that normal ?
Congrats! I think I know what you're talking about, you could be feeling any number of vibrations but try seeing if next time the car is on angle(muffler hangers) or its cold out(built up ice or its weight), if there are no lights or indicators you should be fine and normal operation, safe travels and thanks for watching

I have the Chiltons service manual for it, the only issue with my car is the trans axle seal leaks, not terrible. I’ve changed my trans fluid, just pulling the plug, 3.4 quarts and some Lucas, never a complete flush. Trans still works excellent.

Sticking to the Gen 3s.. torsion beam rear in Gen 4 vs. Independent rear suspension in Gen 3.
Most of us will never tell the difference. While the new one is so much quieter and refined. Totally different league. No comparison.

@@JamesOrtonVideo In Europe we have only 3 levels of the trim and 2 higher - Exlusive line and Homura. Both have wireless carplay / android auto + wireless phone charging as well. No mention about touchscreen display. I want touchscreen very much 😀😞
I dont like the cupholders in front of the shifter thats just asking for a spill
wish the MPG were higher 🙂
It's pretty damn efficient already
@paulkwan2006 Used a 15inch steel rim and hub cap with a 195/65/15 tire, saw a 4mpg increase on my 13 focus, and the tires are cheaper than the mazda 18inch factory ones.
Where is the usb port?
Does the 2023 Mazda 3 have the annoying istop feature that cuts off the engine when you're stopped?
Dont press on brake hard when stopping. Just a little lighter and engine won't stop.
I presume the feature can be disabled with a switch on the dash if the car is equipped with it?
our current batch of 24's in Mazda 3 do not have it they may introduce it later in the year, if they do, you can defeat it with a dashboard switch like our other models that have it, thanks for adding and watching!
@@JamesOrtonVideo thank you!
Has the Bose system been removed from all the 2024 carbon editions you've seen so far?
As a Mazda 3 owner. I can tell engine is perfect performance awsome, however BCM electronic awful becarefull you will have this problem soon. And repair will cost 6k.
You forgot to mention the cylinder deactivation, I am looking at a Mazda 3 sedan, but this is holding me back, I'm a mechanical engineer and what a car to last 300,000 miles.
good call, its something to consider, what are your thoughts on the drawbacks to it?
4 cylinder vehicles dont really last 300k miles from wajt ive seen. 300k kms maybe but 300k miles is prob not gunna happen without a second engine.
If thats what youre looking for a V8 would prob get you closer to that realm.
I think you're wise to have reservations about it. Its longevity certainly puts a magnifying glass under frequent oil changes using high quality oil and filters.
I'm 'this' close to completely ruling out a new Mazda. For me, not making cylinder deactivation delete option starting in 2023 I think, was the final nail in the coffin.
Things that drew me though were exceptional interior quiet levels, a very rare assumption on most new vehicles, even in fairly high trims in some cases.
And I think their final product delivery of decent sound from their stereos has been better than most competitors.
I'm going in reverse I think. I'm becoming more and more weary of new tech. Live software updates that can brick your car, or certain aspects of it if you get off 'lucky'. Screens that control far too many aspects of the car, and if they go down (usually after wty) are prohibitively expensive..as in thousands of dollars. This is money we use to set aside for a transmission or engine rebuild.
Factor in the numerous radar or photo type sensor autonomy nannies and their super expensive "alignment" processes needed after parking lot scruffs (or less) and the insurance he said she said loopholes, etc etc etc. Cars are becoming far far FAR too complicated. And prohibitively expensive given the level of lack of trouble tree motoring we've, for the most part, been accustomed to over the years.
I wonder what is 'generally' the last year most cars were sorta close to simple and old-school. I used to think as recent as 2015 but now I'm not even sure of that. I think you have to go even older and then corrosion becomes an issue in rust belt areas (which is basically over 65% of N America. And many parts of Europe too of course.
Good luck on what you decide on 👍
Mazda 3 is a car for small people. Very cramped in rear, with a very low ceiling. If you are 6ft or more forget about it.
Any car will be small if you are 6ft or above.....
Here's something that EVERYONE needs to be aware about the M3 normally aspirated 2.5 engine for 2023 and 2024 It's likely to apply to any of the other models using the NA 2.5 engine but I'm not positive. Mazda RUINED the drivability of this engine due to increasing the amount of EGR on the car, presumably for better emissions and maybe better fuel mileage. This information comes from a respected Mazda tuner. This results in inferior drivability and power at ambient temperatures over 70 degrees F. The warmer it is outside, the worse the engine runs and subsequently the worse the transmission shifts as it's confused regarding the unexpected lower output, sluggishness and hesitation of the engine. Now, I'm certainly more sensitive to this issue because due to my dealer working me me over in getting out of my 2021 M3 Turbo hatchback and waiting for more than 6 weeks for a replacement Turbo from port with NO clue from Mazda as to when it would arrive, I decided to go with the '23 Carbon Edition. Being early to mid may, ambient temps had not yet risen to where the drivability issues reared its head on my test drive. The only slightly good news is if you run Premium gas, as recommended by this tuner, in the car when it is hot out, the drivability issues are MUCH improved, so that is what I've been doing. Anyone who desires a responsive and powerful engine and is sitting on the fence about whether or not to get the Turbo needs to consider this. You will NOT be satisfied with these newer NA 2.5 engines in warm and hot ambient temperatures. Mazda needs to own up to this issue and release a TSB for it. Oh and to make matters even worse, the car has a "Fishbite" at cruising speeds all the time. Of course my local service department was "unable to duplicate complaint" for either of these issue. I've not yet had the time to go back and push that issue back on them. I have a Bachelors Degree in Automotive Technology and worked in dealership service for years so I'm not some noob in this arena.
Friends don't let friends drive Mazdas with NA 2.5 engines. 😉
When it comes to oil changes Do whats best for the car Not your convenience.Just Saying
What they're not telling you is you better turn that car over to a professional detailer from day one or get it wrapped, because your paint is going to start fading something awful during year four of ownership.
I have owned three Mazda3, and thet all looked terrible by year 6.
I currently drive a 2017 Miata RF Club mtx, and the copper red mica was beautiful until the end of year 4.
All of my cars are not garaged kept, and I live in Florida, so that doesn't help, but c'mon, man...4 years!
However, other than the beautiful, but crap paint, they are fantastic, very reliable cars.
Sorry to hear, It would be nice to go premium on the paint or corrosion warranty on mazda's. I do have a partially wrapped 2013, that I am sure helped save the rear fenders of mine, but in our area like yours we have a ton of salt from winters, rather yours from sea, they do have one of the most environmentally friendly applications of paint in the industry, but I get you, thanks for watching!
I have a 2012 Mazda 3 sedan, 2.0L Grand Touring. 250k miles. Super reliable. My sky blue mica paint had most of the clear peel off after about 7 years.
If you keep your cars waxed, they shouldn't fade. Waxes have UV protection and UV damage is what causes fading.
I HAD 2004 MAZDA 3 SPORTS(WHITE )MANUEL
I ALWAYS WAXED IT FROM 3 OR 6 MONTHS AND EVERY ONE THOUGHT IT LOOKED NEW...I TOOK CARE OF THAT BABY AND I MISS IT
SOLD IT AT 180,000 MILES
So has something changed? I have a 2010 Mazda 3 hatch that I keep parked outside. Paint is still in pretty good condition. It isn't red though, it is grey/silver. Other things haven't fared too well. The weather stripping is about done; faded and brittle. The dash on those models had problems and mine is no exception.
Turbos need a warm-up, and lesson the life of your engine. Stay away from turbos unless racing is your thing.
if you live in a dusty area like a desert oil changes should happen more, but most people dont live in a desert and those who do already know it
Annoying that you have to click unlock four times to roll down the windows instead of just holding the button. Also, I don’t believe there’s a way to roll the windows back up using the fob?
Correct, just for safety, I guess.
I have an old Mazda 6 from 2006., no need to click-click-click before pulling windows down or up. Just press and hold unlock for down or lock for up.
Annoying?
Omg it takes 2 seconds.
