Mazda 3 (2010) - Episode #14 - MotorMouth.TV

I *used* to be a fan. But progress is supposed to beautiful, not comical.

Top 4 reasons to buy:
1. Cheap, big bang for the buck (fully loaded in the 24k range) *** Mazda almost always has rebates or aggressive APR.
2. Overall drive is nice.
3. Low maintenance, Mazda's are known to run forever.
4. Spacious back seat.

Top 4 reasons not to buy:
1. Overdesigned: space ship rear end, looks like a catfish from some angles.
2. Cheap build quality. (spot welding marks everywhere)
3. Cockpit feels like isolated pods.
4. Feels as cheap as it costs. (plastic galore)

Even though I am not a big fan about the looks, the drive is nice for the price. It is better than other cars in its class, I am just not a big fan and it is 100% a car that you could feel completely different about, but I would strongly consider a VW Golf.

Here are some reviews to soak in: (note the car will score very high, its a decent car)

Really good break down on styling, handling, comfort: bit.ly/A49Dn
As I said, Motor Trend loves the Mazda 3: bit.ly/2UH4x7

I bought the 2010 Mazda 3 GT Sedan and I love it!! The grill does grow on you and the car is just so much better than the 1st generation!!!

Cool! Another San Francisco motor head! I live in the new mission bay area by ATT park. I'm excited about the upcoming SF Auto Show at Moscone Center, I'm sure you're going. Anyway, cool informative video, I just subbed to your channel. Looking forward to more video's. Peace!

Hey Man happy you enjoyed it! We will be doing a motormouth meet up and will keep you posted! thanks for the support!

Thanks for posting this video. Your opinions are always on point and very much appreciated. I totally agree that Mazda messed up the looks of the 2010 Mazda3. Especially the smile on the front grille is just terrible. And it gets even worse with the MPS. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the MPS review and if you find some more time in the future, I would love to hear your opinion about the MX-5/Miata.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!
