Mazda are getting it right in so many ways. I looked at Toyota and just can't handle their styling. Mazda is doing wonderful interiors now - punching above the price level. Really looking forward to seeing how the new Active X engine is going to behave. I've driven Audis for years but as their prices go up, their options becoming far too expensive and numerous - (ie) you have to spend a fortune to get the car feeling it is well equipped. So Mazda may well be on my car shopping list and my partner's list too.

whatEver ‘Legendary’ is pushing it a bit here. Sure, they have the storied rx7 and Miata, but that’s it. Just about every manufacturer in existence has had at least 2-3 times as many legendary sports cars (except Hyundai and Kia, which are new to the performance game). Nowadays their performance ‘pedigree’ boils down to tight handling and a nice 6 speed manual. Both of which they got rid of this gen. Seriously, torsion beam? Fucking really????

They may not be legendary status yet but 20 years this path they will be.

@NashKetchum 5 лет назад

Jake AWD is a desperate gimmick imo. There are very few instances where AWD is noticeably better than FWD with equivalent tires. All AWD does is add an expensive and complicated drivetrain to an unreliable brand, with a platform based on the old Ford Focus. As far as this whole electric craze, it’s just for show and publicity. 99.78% sold in the US are gasoline, doesn’t look like anyone is walking away from that anytime soon.

Glad to see you talk about how the "so criticized over paper" suspension actually feels; I've seen some reviews which seem more spec-reading than actual review.

Bahahaha another epic intro! Beautiful work fellas! This video cn be summed up in one word, seductive. Still and get over how badly Hyundai messed up the front of the Elantra. They turned a great looking car into a hideous triangle. Yikes

@diegogonzalez9086 4 года назад

Mazda looks so beautiful and perfect match of interior and exterior design. The work was really put into it and out of my appretiation to that, im getting one and am suv

Guys god review, but please add some interior space/trunk details in the future!

I wish they would just make steering ratios adjustable to the driver's preference, but I guess that may not be feasible at this price point. Great review, love that you mix in some comedy!

@davidm5707 5 лет назад

They usually offer Sport, Eco and Comfort modes, which affect steering and throttle, on the upper trims, even in compacts now. The Kia Forte also has a "Smart" mode, which responds to your driving style.

Thomas and James eh? Where’s Sir Toppem Hat? Very entertaining review, especially the intro. All things being equal, I’d probably go with the Elantra due to the long warranty... or skip both and buy a Soul. 🤔

@ianmaomay1588 3 года назад

ThePariss333 the 2020 Elantra’s interior looks good. But not this one, i mean it’s not bad it’s beautiful actually. It’s just Mazda 3 has a better interior. It’s classy and clean.

The awd mazda 3 vs the Impreza?

@MarwinKellers 5 лет назад

I bought the new mazda hatchback a month ago and put about 600 miles on it and it's just gorgeous. I drove an Audi A3 before and you can't even compare it. The skyactive X engine that'll arrive in fall with AWD and almost 200HP for under 30k and all those features and quality is beyond everything you'll get from Mercedes, Audi, BMW or VW for this amount of money. An A-Class with similar tech-features will come at about 10-15k more!

@Thottle House, The Elantra has a button for the trunk too! It's hidden in the top half of the "H" of the logo. (10:34 mark.)

@motakai3898 5 лет назад

Next time you guy should take the Mazda 3's competition out back and put it out of it's misery with some dignity! The Hyundai Elantra was a sinking ship as soon as we seen the interiors! X )

@mindspinn311 5 лет назад

Is this even a fair comparison? The new Mazda3 is going to walk all over the class for the next two years, especially Korean brands. I drove one, and have a 2018. The 2019 is on another level entirely.

Hey could you please mention some of the differences between 2018 and 2019 models? Thanks.

@jamesp504 5 лет назад

No. A Kia Forte in 2014 literally tied the mazda 3 in all numbers (car and driver 2014) and had an automatic. Imagine what the next gen Forte will do. Keep laughing.

4:13 But Mazda's SKYACTIV-G engines also operate with Atkinson/Miller cycle in the manner you describe. Hyundai's marketers harp on this point more than Mazda.

@mrmm7322 5 лет назад

The Mazda quality and eligeint and it’s rich feeling amazing driving and handling I chooses the. Mazda 3. It’s 100% made in Japan 🇯🇵. Mazda is as good as Toyota in reliable quality. But the Mazda wins by far as comfortably to drive Mazda is the future

@BeesonsCars 5 лет назад

Still cannot get over this absolutely gorgeous interior of that 3. A new Mazdaspeed 3 would be so awesome. 250+ hp 2.5L skyactive motor, AWD, and a 6 speed would be the best little sedan.

I am a Hyundai Elantra and Sonata lover, but this new model is lacking the voluptuous line they used to have

@zkiller195 5 лет назад

I'm loving the new Mazda3. It will probably be my next car, although I'm glad I don't need a car right now because I'm looking forward to Skyactiv-X. The Elantra looks awful, not only compared to the Mazda3, but even compared to last year's Elantra. I wasn't considering one anyways, but they really butchered the redesign.

@rjmansfield4890 5 лет назад

Both great cars! Mazda really did a great job with the new generation! One thing to point out too with the comparison, Elantra is 3 years older despite the facelift. Judging by the recent photos of the next gen Sonata, the next gen Elantra would be right up with Mazda in terms of looks and interior. Great video guys!

@jamesengelsman9369 5 лет назад

Yeah that new Sonata looks fantastic!
