  • so the hatchback isnt a sports car? or is it?

  • the engine on the 2009-present 2010-present Iran Mazda 3/

    Mazda Axela (Japan)

    1.6 L I4 diesel

    2.0 L I4 petrol

    2.0 L I4 diesel

    2.2 L I4 diesel

    2.5 L I4 petrol

  • The Mazda3 breaks new ground in compact car style, sports car-like design and technological innovation. Truly a distinctive choice, this is a confident, dynamic car you'll immediately want to drive.

  • the 2009-present 2010-present Iran Mazda 3/ Mazda Axela (Japan) is assembled in

    Kulim, Malaysia

    Rayong, Thailand (Start on February 2011)

    Hofu, Japan

    Bogotá, Colombia

    Pretoria, South Africa

  • This is the happiest vehicle known to man. It's stoked just to be a car. ZOOM ZOOM! :D You see it, now you can't unsee it.

  • How much is this car?

  • I'm thinking about getting a new one of these. Are they pretty reliable? How is the warranty?

  • @Dextersmama mazda 3 is pretty reliable. I had the 2004 and it still runs like new. Make sure you do regular oil changes and follow the factory maintenance schedule. Your Mazda 3 should run well with few maintenance problems.

  • Getting 1 nxt month !!! Can't wait :)

  • I just love the look of the Mazda3

  • What's the point of buying the Mazda 3 Hatchback Grand Touring if you can get a Speed3 for around the same price?

  • @Fratty124 Moderately better fuel economy + regular gas rather than premium = lots of money saved. If I could afford a Speed 3 I'd get it in a heartbeat but I can't justify the cost of gas right now for a car with more power than I really need.

  • @Fratty124 Probably just better fuel economy and the speed3 only comes in manual. I love the speed3 though. Getting that instead.

  • @austinman1995

    Its only $23,000ish

  • hey check out my video of my mazda 3, its a bad ass lil car i love it.

  • kool look - zoom zoom so kool

  • гамно, предыдущая лучше

  • @AssAndTitties510

    maybe the older models... the 10' comes with a/c, pwr windows, pwr locks, cd player, all standard

  • @AssAndTitties510 Hundais, Kias, probably some Chevy (like Aveo). Plenty of cars don't have standard power locks. AC though is kind of expected nowadays. Civic is an appliance with good resell value and great gas mileage. If that's what you're after - silver Civic or beige Camry are hard to beat ;)

  • @amko555 haha no no, when I do shift to drive that was a big delay. Too noticable. But now I have 10000+ miles on it and its gotten better. I guess it just needs to break in. However, I am having a loud humming noise from the power steering.. mazda said its normal which is annoying as hell. Anyone hearing the same thing? I bet you they are going to recall the pump within a year. My power steering light went off on me once already.. crap.. :(

  • impreza will own this.

  • @blitzbeat06 different class altogether...I would hope so

  • Haha he had 12.1 mpg

  • slee Take it back to your dealer and get them to look at it

  • cross shopped Golf, Cruize, 2nd Gen tC. Got MZ3 S with 6speed. I come from VR6s and boosted H4s, so anything in subcompact was great on fuel economy. Main concern was power and handling. MZ3 is clear winner.

  • How many speed clinders does it have?

  • I think 6speedMT is a big plus for this car

  • I own one of these, it's a great drive and the interior is awesome. Who cares what it looks like on the outside?

  • @flunk77 How's the power will all the seats filled in this car?

  • @AurakeSaurus Good enough to get around. If you really load it up with cargo it it handles noticably worse. Go and test drive one, that sealed the deal for me.

  • @flunk77 I cant see the outside of my car when I drive...so as long as its not Honda-Ugly, I dont care:)

  • they always show the rear end more because that front grill looks so ugly.

  • I like the color a lot, I looking in to buying one of the Mazda 3 Hatchbacks, and although the front grille is....hideous... I plan on getting it in black, so it will cover it up decently.

  • Do you sell hamburgers?

  • Should i get a Mazda 3 or Mazda CX 9?

  • @AurakeSaurus thats quite the difference.

  • ugly front grill or whatever fuck they want to call it, they really fucked up, the interior can have all the best gadgets in the world and it still woundn't make up for that ugly front, the old one is much better looking period, new mazda 3 equal facial disfigurement.

  • @MultiBrunolucas I actually really like the exterior. It is a bit more "exciting" compared to what American vehicles have offered in the past, but to me, it's a breath of fresh air!

  • i have the 08/2006 mazda 3 and i am in love with it

    but with this new model .. i don't know if i will stick wih mazda 3 no more....

    the front side looks more happy than agressive (how i would like to be)... and the interior looks kinda ford-focusy

  • mitsubishi lancer sportback is better 

  • I see a lot of these on the street. A little too small for me, but they attract me to the Mazda brand! Great review Cars.com!

    My favorite Mazda right now is the Tribute =)

  • @execdyke91 cause its pretty much the only mazda without the "smile"

  • I wish the hatchback was cheaper.

  • did i see only 12.1 mpg?

  • I hope they Make a Mazda 2 Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom (2 turbochargers) haha

  • Going to buy one right now! My dealer has $169/month, $0 down!

  • @sgtbarone hey i m going to buy same car but i want to ask u what u think about that car?

  • The sedan version looks better.

  • i was going to trade my 06 mazda 6 5-door for a new 3 but decided not to because i just cannot stand the front, last generation of 6 also looks better

  • this is a mazda 3

  • I recently test drove a 2010 mazda 3 and I loved it.

  • i actually like how they look. I test drove one, and fell in love right away. the 2.5 with the speed is just plain fun. Buying one now.

  • the face is an allien the rear is hot

  • plain ugly...smiling mazda

  • Just bought a 5 door S model to replace my 2005 3i.

    Better all around car,more power,stiffer chassis,smoother riding and a lot quieter.

    The Bose 10 speaker stereo is one of the best factory system I've ever heard,but the moon roof that comes with it tightens up headroom for my 6'2" frame.

    Only regret is maybe I should have bought the GT for the added comfort/convenience features.But that add's another 2.5K

  • Lol 12.1mpg, he must have been redlining every shift! Seriously though, this car does lack the fuel economy of it's competitors, though it's all in the name of "fun".

  • looks so cheap

  • @DJTEVAdotCOM not at all, it comes with alloy wheels all around disc brakes, interior offers so much compared to similar cars, dual exhaust, rear wing, side skirts front and rear lip, economical car with a sporty look at a great price

  • @DJTEVAdotCOM I just bought one. It is not a cheap feeling or looking car in person. At least not to me. The fit and finish is superb compared to many other vehicles i was shopping for. I highly suggest you test drive one and then tell the rest of us what you think about it.

  • how much is thisss

  • jusr 12.1 mpg?

  • My guess is that he reset it for the test. Lots of stop-go stuff. EPA is somewhere north of 20.

  • If M3 symbolizes wildness and sophistication, Focus signifies control and brilliance.

  • hey i just got a 2010 mazda 3 s hb, i had it for 6days. i love the car but i started to notice that there is a delay on my auto when i put it to drive. anyone experiencing this????

  • @slee1488 Driving with a man pedal. No problems :)

  • @gophop lucky.. i should of gotten man. I regret getting a auto so much lol

  • @slee1488 torque converter. pretty common in autos, takes a moment to engage

  • @slee1488 normal for many low priced autos, ie, not 150k mercs autos

  • @slee1488 nope, because mine's a stick!

    its so fun

  • sounds like some one is having fun at 1:56 hahah turn it up you will know what i saying

  • the okder models are nicer

  • @annoyingtxtsfromher i agree with u...

  • @InthachBigStar exactly

  • im looking at this car. one question, stick or auto??

  • i love my 2007 mazda 3.... it has a little cool agressive look.... but with the new one it looks like something happy.... i don't say it's ugly cause it still looks goog but i was hoping something more scary.... now i don't know if i will buy another mazda 3 and i love it

  • Too bad is too ugly.

  • I have a Mazda 3 Grand Touring model and really like the car. Hate the GPS in the 2006 model because it is not user friendly but everything else is great about this car. I prefer this to the E 55 AMG that resides right beside it!

  • why do u yanks insist on pronouncing things wrong?

  • My father bought one last week, he drove his 626 for almost 10 years... got time to buy a new one.. :-)

    it's a great car, and so freaking beautiful

  • i think mazda should advertise this car instead of the mazda6. this car is probably the BEST mazda car. it beat the kia forte and volkswagen golf in a car and driver comparo

  • I've got the mazda 3 5 doors 2008 2000Cc and i really like that car. I want to upgrade to the 2010 . Mazda is really good car

  • I think the mazda designers watched too much bleach anime.

    check the resemblance in google:

    12th captain's bankai

  • LOL @ fun to drive. That car is missing its white painted clown buck teeth on that plastic raidiator grill. That stupid car looks like its got a shit eating grin on its face. Makes me wanna vomit.

  • Comment removed

  • @crashroader It doesn't take you much to vomit...you should go in Africa it might make you a bit more strong.

  • @stevezane Okay and I assume that Africa will revise that clown car called a mazda? Your comment made no sense and had nothing to do with this ugly ass import piece of shit.

  • @crashroader Your comments make me see how stupid you are..You say its a piece of shit car...tell me why if you are intelligent enough.Hope you can be construtive in your explanations..lets see?

  • This is my favorite car right now. Who couldn't love leaving for work in the morning and seeing a car with a gigantic smile on it's face screaming, "hey... HEY!!! Let's go driving!!!!!!!!!"

  • Just bought one of these and cut the pipes off and threw 19s on it.. same color to lol

  • I bought the mazda3 hatchback GT last week. Its black, it has heated seat, power seat, heated side mirrors, stability control, traction control, windshield rain sensors etc etc etc bose sound system... I looooooove it! i paid $24,984. Worth every penny. Its cooler than my dads 2008 BMW 330I. GREAT CAR FOR ME WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL! im 23...

  • @marciotube3001 Poor Guy

  • @InsaneMetalSoldier Ha look at these poor guys being jealous of the guys that can actually buy a brand new car... Iam sorry ur poor and ignorant :) hope you can win in life someday. good luck loosers 1 sec ago

  • @marciotube3001 LOL, NO, I was joking hahaha, I said "poor guy" because I was being sarcastic, trying to be funny... but you turned offensive without a reason. But I forgive you, hope you good luck and a succeesfull life.

  • @InsaneMetalSoldier one question does this car is cheaper in your country ?

    I mean in usa than mexico?

  • @marciotube3001 Ha look at these poor guys being jealous of the guys that can actually buy a brand new car... Iam sorry ur poor and ignorant :) hope you can win in life someday. good luck loosers

  • @marciotube3001 one question does this car is cheaper in your country ?

    I mean in usa than mexico?

  • Old one looks better..

  • @biachka no it doesn't.

  • Zoom Zoom forever. Thanks for posting. Please check out our newly updated channel, and subscribe.

  • I love this care I just got one this week and its sporty, fun, good gas milage, and the technology in it is superb defiantly a smart buy!!

  • mazda 3 great car i have no comment about it

  • Besides that huge, goofy bute cute smile on the front, it is still very sexy looking.

  • My Mazda has broken down and I lost the friggin' steering in heavy traffic!! Im done with Japanese cars...PERIOD.

  • wat do u mean ?

  • i wish my r18civic displayed fuel mileage

  • My friend has a HONDA Oddyssey and shes at 250,000 with no problems.

  • It's not true that Mazda built crappy cars in the 80s. I've known the 87 GT to get over 200,000 miles. I still have my 87 that went over 100,000 with few problems, and time will tell whether this new mazda will last or not..

  • Good time to look into a mazda. Toyota knew that its cars were suffering from "quality control issues" during investigations, including rear gas structs, ball joints, etc. GM has recently recalled 1.3 million compact cars.

  • compares to civic and corolla? bullshit! it compares to nissan versa and toyota matrix... hell even compare it to an audi A3 or a VW golf if you want... but not a civic...

  • ur really stupid lol

  • It sure looks happy, but creepy-happy. like a clown.

  • @bcarby dat was my first impression,but as soon as u compare it with da other mazda line up,u'll get to realize dat da smile is exotic like maserati n peugeot

  • dude. don't even try to compare this to a Maserati. lol, a peugeot is accurate though.

  • i mean RX8 look like maserati GranTurismo ( but mazda didnt mean to copy it )

  • Comment removed

  • Nice!

  • the front looks like lips from a Mr. Potato Head toy

  • i just had one (base model) and it's awesome! test drive first guys and do the judgment then compare it with corollas, civic, lancer, for the same money i'll take this over the rest any day

  • I think it looks amazing, also the people that say it looks ugly is because they're jealous that they don't have it. I'm not being a smart ass or anything, its just that, when you see it in person and sit inside the car, you will fall in love with it. ;)

  • There is no way I am jealous. I have an '08 5 door & think it looks much cooler than that new joker mobile. The headlight "eyes" are too big & the smile grill looks ridiculous.

  • OLD ONE LOOKS BETTER.

  • @Xp3rTGam3r not even close.

  • takie autko by mi wystarczyło...

  • I prefer thr old model. It looks better than 2010 New Mazda3.

  • nooooo way man! 07-09 looks ugly compared to this one! 06 was nice at the time...

  • My computer speakers have packed up so didnt hear the commentary....however, having owned the new 1.6 Sport model for 3 months, it's fair to say that it's a decent car for the money. Handles lovely round corners, easy to park, comfortable, nice steering wheel, attractive dashboard; and it's a lot better-looking than your Golfs and Peugeots.

    Also makes people look twice, since it doesnt blend with all the Astras and other common stuff.

  • What about the Kia forte sx Koup? I just drove one and they are awesome!

  • 12.1 mpg?!

  • last time I remember MAZDA is not 200K plus reliable car...I thought MAZDA were crappy car back in the days?

  • @DJTEVAdotCOM What car is? The 1in 50 Toyota/Hondas sold that do? Many people claim the Miatas can go over 150,000 without a problem.

    I would go with Mazda. So, for the first 60,000 toruble free miles you look good, and if the car bombs at 130,000, at least you didn't pay too much for it. Plenty of Toyotas are toast by 120,000. Hondas can go at 80,000 with their crap transmissions.

  • I like the old one better xD

  • I like this Peugeot!!!

  • Peugeot is awsome!! :D

    All the car companys are trying to copy the front styling of Peugeot.

  • The Mazda3 is awesome. Fun to drive, sporty, quick(with 2.5l and 6spd manual), reliable(according to consumer reports) and inexpensive

  • Mazda is all about RELIABILITY. And driving :)

  • You are wrong my friend! Mazda is not a reliable car! Is scores only average in J.D Power surveys! It is not very reliable in long term neither! It is about average!

    If you thing that you can go 200K miles like a toyota or honda you are going to be disappointed!

  • I know. I like it. I like a lot of things about this car. I look forward to when I'll be able to afford the Grand Touring.

  • I pick mine up on the 22 of Dec....a Christmas present to myself.

  • @Aussiephil99 one question does this car is cheaper in your country ?

    I mean in usa than mexico?

  • @subersore ...in Australia the base model with no extras is about 22000 which equates to about 20500 US dollars

  • It reminds me of Mater on Disney's Cars movie. I like it.

  • Is this piece of @#%@# a Peugeot????

  • i dont like the front, looks like a toungue.

  • the smile does stand out on the non black and dark grey colors. I would avoid the bright colors for that reason. It is a very good little car. I'm on my 2nd one. A Great drive!

  • i dont know why so many people hate the front end. its good lookin. its edgy

  • I think they're bothered by it because it looks like a smiley face... I didn't realize it until i watched another video and had loads of comments talking about it.

  • i like this one, hatchback only, either steel gray or black look best, and manual is a must, thinking of trading in my speed6 for this since its too expensive for me.

  • i prefer the mazda 6 i really like the 2005 to 08 models

  • That front end just plain sucks. The car is nothing more than a freshened up 09. Which is way better looking. Car does rate well so many will buy it.

  • ummm .... i disagree. i bought the 2010 hatchback version and i love it .... it looks SO sleek, sounds like a cat purring, and the drive is SO amazing

  • SO does my 2006 Sentra Special Edt. . Glad you like it. I still hate the front end. Just have it painted like the rest of the car. That's all. Oh and put in an oil pressure and volt meter gauges. Done deal.

  • this is a touring =O looks mad beautiful compared to the elantra touring

  • Terrible front end.

  • If you don't like the grill, get a black one so it won't stand out as much. Car looks nice, MIGHT actually get one sometime soon.

  • grill looks like shit...

  • smiling? are you schitzophrenic or something? poor thing....

  • I like it.

  • you're part of a very small group then.

  • I like it too. Plus, the smiley front was done to make the car more aerodynamic and to cool the engine more efficiency. It was done for efficiency, not design.

  • that rotten smiley face grille is the direct result of designing only for some type of function, not style. it's only a tiny little 2.5 litre engine, and that opening is large enough to feed a blast furnace. it's unnecessary. and as for aerodynamics, it's a Mazda 3, not a Bugatti.
