I'm between this car and 2011 VW Golf hatch..... tough choice! Mini Coopers sound nice but a little too pricey! .......And I might be the oldest guy driving this thing,(the M3)...as i see mostly college aged kids driving around in these Mazda 3s.
@MrKurt1962 well i moved on to the mini cooper but before that, i was in the same situation as you. I test drove the Golf and Mazda 3. The biggest difference is the interior (mazda's has it beat) but golf feels it has more low end torque. Exterior design, i would have to give it to the Golf. As far as what you get for the money, the S Sport like i have in the video, you will get the most bang of the buck, fog lights, Bluetooth, spoiler, 17 inch rims, moon roof, bigger engine...hope this helps.
i love my mazda 3 i didnt get the one with all that i got the one right below urs but man i love going down hills with my car its so fast and awesome control its bomb!
i m gone a buy one in few weeks thinking about i sport. it's not a raceing car but feel like so fun to drive. what u think people any tip or any other car under 25000$ better than mazda 3 2011
@dhruvilshah30 Dude to be honest with you, Mazda 3 is a great car and you can't go wrong with buying one but don't expect a "fast" car. It's fun to drive but if you're looking to go fast, it's not FAST FAST. I acutally just sold this car and bought a Mini Cooper S. If you want to spend $25K, i HIGHLY suggest Mini Cooper S. You can get a 2010 with discounted pricing for under 25 or just get a Base one. You'll LOVE it. Plus it has oil, brake pads, etc covered for 3 years. Look into those.
Hello, I'm seriously considering purchasing this car; however, in your comment below I understand that you are selling this car after just 7 months. I'm just wondering if there is any specific reason as to why you are. Thanks in advance!
@SwinginSoul well don't get me wrong, it's a awesome car for someone who is looking to get into a economical car. It beats the competition hands down in every category...i just like fast cars and the "zoom zoom" is not a sports car "zoom zoom" if you know what i mean. Go for it!
I got the iTouring in August - I preferred spending a little less money, and am happier with the smaller engine and better gas mileage. The extra features are nice, though. Enjoy!
@dmiller1000 Yeah that's true, if you don't need all those features and want to save money on the gas, 2.0 L is the way to go. I'm selling mine though!
@BarOfSomething ....depends on what you want. Mazda is a economical car with tons of awesome features...bluetooth, spoiler, rims, info screen,sport seats, fog lights and its fun to drive on corners.....also interior beats anything in its class but its SlOW....at least for me. Genesis is cool but that's all it is. No resale value...but if you want speed, out of the two, that wins. Hope that helps.
im about to turn sixteen and my parents are considering cars, and after i showed them this video they said they might get it for me!! I really like the controls on the steering.
@gamerhub149 sweet man, i'm glad to hear that it helped you out. Defintely opt for the 2.5 L sport, you get SO much more for $1,000 or so more. If you need any more info, just private msg me- i can tell you how much i paid etc
@wishkid18 When you turn the headlights on, there is a turn switch right next to it. Just leave it in that position and they'll remain on every time you turn on the headlights.
Thanks! I am probably going to get the Sport, I really don't like leather anyway (it gets worn very easily anyway). Plus the cloth in the mazda looks great. Amazing car, great choice!
@Eurovizija Thanks! No, there isn't a big difference between grand touring and S sport models. The biggest difference is leather in my opinion. You still get spoiler, fog lights, 17 rims, info screen dash, bigger engine etc...In the grand touring you get navigation but it's such a tiny screen which is hard to see for maps. It works well as a information display which you get with the sport model. But shelling out the $2 or $3 grand more- not worth it.
I liked video one better than 2 because of the interior and exterior views. The stering wheel looks to busy for me but everything else looks great. I like the fact that you test drove some other compact cars which made your review more creditable. Thanks for the great review!!
@scarfinger68 well i hope it helps you out in making a decision. It's great on gas too, i've been averaging 24 to 25 mpg in the city. Yeah I test drove 3 other cars before this and this one beats them in comfort and amenities.
does it come with an auxillary plug or usb for ipod?
