Great job on the review! Some good scouting at TFL!

This kid has some potential. He brings a much different feel that TFL could use.

Looks like he’s going to have a future in front of the camera good job 👍

I like this guy a lot. Bring him on more often 👍🏾

He did an Awesome job on the review of his car...Im glad Roman hired him...He's going do really good.

Wow you guys are the only KZfaqrs to still do a long term review on this Mazda

I'm the lucky fella who was able to purchase this car from Kase, and let me tell you he's an amazing person! The car is in tip top shape and well he's just a super cool dude. Definitely made a great impression, I hope he's not just an intern anymore he deserves more! Hope all is well Kase can't wait to see you in more videos with TFL!!

My Mazda 3 is a 2011 manual. Almost 300000 km. Still running strong.

Mazda produced a great looking car in this generation of 3, the hatch is a styling masterpiece in the segment.

Your an absolute natural in front of the camera. Great review. Love my 2015 Mazda 6 speed

Dude Mazda rocks. u can’t go wrong with them

Good job on the review. I’ve recently grown to love the styling on that gen Mazda 3. I had a 2014 Mazda 6 with a manual and a couple mods that I ended up selling, but I still miss driving that car at times.

Love the mods you've done. Very tasteful.

Used to work across the street from where you're filming. Nice car! Have the '15 sedan with 2.5 6MT. And I pretty much have all the same mods as you. You nailed it. Great little car. That factory appearance package is sweet. Wish I had that. Thanks for sharing! Maybe I'll see you around boulder sometime.

Great review! Looking forward to seeing more from this new reviewer!

Very well done review! Looking forward to his future on the TFL team! Put this man in more videos!

He did a great job. :) I appreciate the intentionality in bringing in a younger cohort of presenters (no shade on everyone’s favorite Russian)!

Great Review! I like this guy's presentation style.

Seems like a good kid, and had good on camera presence.

the '14 design language still holds up!

This is one of the only reviews I managed to find online for the automatic. I'm considering buying a used one so I really appreciate this review (wish you would have spoken a little bit about driving with this transmission). I also like that you didn't waste time talking about plastics and bottle holders.

This looks better than the 2020 hatchback, especially the C-pillars.

Very professional i hope the will give you more air time. Your review almost literally described my experience with my work commuter which is 14 Mazda 2, i do over 100 miles a day and every single one is fun in this little car

Awesome review I would watch you anytime. TFL make him a regular!

My mom recently got a 2018 3 top trim hatch. And man its such a nice car. The auto trans is nice too. The torque converter locks right away which makes it feel way more “sporty”, sense itll keep revs sense the motor and trans are in linked together, plus it responds pretty fast when using it in “manual” mode. Big plus when in cruise control, itll downshift and upshift as needed to maintain speed. Its got some dunlops and its very nice. Handles great. And rides well.

I got my first car at the beginning of this month and im absolutely in love 14 MZ3 Manual with 117kms on her and im absolutely in love! A ton of fun but not enough fun to get me into any trouble😂

I had a 2014 just like this, with the i-eloop system. It is one vehicle that I always wish I had kept. The miata bug hit me and I traded it for the 2016 when it came out. I really like your style of review, it was really easy to watch.

Alright TFL, more Kase 🙂. His first review was excellent, and what made his first review everything was reviewing his daily driver. He's southern, so that in itself is awesome, and I was like yeah solidarity seeing Kase is from Georgia. I went to college in North Carolina, and I love southerners. I too also have a 2014 model year car that's my daily driver, a VW Jetta 😁. Again, excellent review Kase.

Great review! I own a POC 2015 mazda 3 iGT. Same amount of mileage as you! I love it!

I've got a 2014 GT at the top trim and engine level. Only 3 problems in 6 years. There was an issue with the belt tensioner having a sharp edge that snapped the belt twice. The battery froze, which I actually think is caused by my block heater possibly not working. The infotainment center sometimes goes haywire and selects random functions. Other than that it has been a very reliable car for 140,000 km. Very happy with it. Now if only Mazda would build a pickup truck again I would trade it in.

Wow Kase did a amazing job i can see him doing car reviews and testing for many years in the future. Hope to see more of him in front of the camera and i have to say do like the mods that were done to the car maybe not the tail lights but other than that great stuff.

You guys should hire this guy!!!.

A few years ago my dad purchased a 2014 mazada 3, i believe it was the touring version with a 2.0 l motor and manual transmission, and that transmission was really a pleasure to drive.

Brillant and thoughtful review. This young man is going places. I have a Mazda 3 sedan from 2014 and very much agrees with your observations except that the sedan really is looking more spiffy compared to the hatch.

Excellent job, excellent review!

I had a ‘15 Mazda3 for over 2 years. One of the nicest looking AND surprisingly economical drives I’ve ever owned. If our family hadn’t made a priority of camping in a travel trailer, I’d still be driving my Mazda3 hatchback. Like you, the only down side I knew for my mid-level version was road noise. Even mine with the 2.0L was plenty fast with the 6 sped auto. You just had to make the request with a small lead time so the trans dropped a gear and let the motor spin up. Sweet ride, and great review!!

We have a 2017 Mazda 3 Sedan with the 2.5 and manual transmission. My wife has already put about 70,000 miles on it in less than 3 years and it has been problem free! Great car and super fun to drive!

Alex and Tommy have a 3rd Musketeer. The Trio should be making some great videos together in the future. Young blood will appeal to audiences in their age bracket for informative, intuitive view points that will carry your channel into the future. Good choice for TFL. ;)

Great reviewer, a welcome addition to the TFL team! I just wish you got into more detail of ownership costs, reliability and any annoying issues a buyer should be aware of.

This guy is a good future TFL reviewer

The future of TFL. I like it. Great review

This guy sure can review a car! Great job

I’m loving my 2017 Mazda 3. Wish I got the Hatch with the 2.5 but oh well. The 2.0L has been great too.

Quite literally sitting in a dealership getting one of these because of this video. Great job

The seats in my 2015 Mazda3 fold flat. I have to get the handbrake cable replaced this year, new tires for summer, the transmission fluid changed, the weather stripping in the driver door frame replaced and the trim piece at the top of the driver door replaced. I was just in for the oil change and the brakes are still in good shape, the suspension is fine. Love my car.

My 2018 Mazda 3 Touring is an awesome little car! Quick, handles well & dependable. I’m thinking of upstanding to the new body style or a Mazda 6. Mazda truly makes one of the best interiors for the money.

5:47 if you want the features of this car with more rear seat room, the Mazda 6 would be a great option.

Thanks for this review! The car looks epic 😍😍

Very nice review, hope to see more from him in the future.

Great review and camera man

Very detailed and clear review

I installed BC BR coilovers on a low and stiff setting. It reduced the body roll considerably and with some motegi alluminum wheels and firestone indy 500 summer tires shes driving amazing.

Great review, Love my 2016 Mazda 3 GT, best car. I modded with wheels exhaust intake and body kit. More to come.

Nice car & review my dude! Mazda's are one of my favourite makes of cars.

Love my 2015 2.0L 6-spd manual Mazda 3! I'm in my 50s ... best daily driver I've ever owned!

I've got a 2013 with 140k miles on it. It's my commuter car and I love it! Will probably get a new version in a few years. Hoping to get this one up to the 250-300k range before getting rid of it.

I’ve had my 07’ for a little over a year and I LOVE IT

Looking at a 2014 6 speed manual. This was a great intro to the car. Nice job!

Wonderful explanation!! This guy did a wonderful job!

Great review man.

I got a black 2014 iSport hatchback back in 2015 brand new - so the most barebones Mazda 3 you could get. I've had it for almost 10 years now, and only put about 75k miles on it. But it still drives like an absolute dream, and is still BONKERS FUN up until this very day! I have so much fun bullying a lot of fast drivers on the NJ, PA, & NYC highways around me🤣 While I will never be able to literally keep up with most cars on the road, you'll still catch me blast 80+ mph on the highways often, blasting by most drivers. The car only really "feels" slow when you're trying to accelerate. But when you're already flying fast, and you still feel how much control you have with this car, that's how you know you are driving an incredible machine ❤ I feel bad that I want to trade mine in for the new Mazda 3 Turbo....

Love your review !

I do like the side view styling of the Mazda3, this one shows that. I have never owned a Mazda, although I do like the design of the models,..here where I live, it just seems that the one dealer in my area, is not 'hungry' enough for business, and friends I have, find the same 'feeling' when we visit the dealership,...strange! ( but that's a local issue here, I know ) This '3' as shown here, (owned by Case) has the right color to attract and add to it's looks, it is too bad it's not equipped with a manual transmission,.....but that 2.5 engine is apparently, bullet proof. Good video Case, you've presented it well!

Great review !!

Great and accurate review! Good job! My wife has a 2015 2.0L Mazda 3 sedan and I'd say I agree with your review. My biggest complaint is the road noise, but the fuel economy and handling make up for it. It's a great car for around town, but I would not want to do a 10-15 hour road trip in it.

My first Mazda 3 was a 2010 2.0L sedan with the manual. Loved it as it was very fun to drive for a A to B car. Unfortunately that car was totaled. I replaced it with a used 2014 base Mazda 3 sedan with the manual. The 2014 has been a great replacement. Better mpg, better interior, better exterior styling, and still fun to drive.

Great review of one of my favorite hatchbacks.

Good job on this video 👍🏻

Get this kid on the main channel doing reviews!

Well done, well done. Good luck kid! You have great potential. Nice ride of course.

I have a pretty simular setup except its a black 2016 with a manual with a tune, borla exhaust, intake and lowering springs with around 205 hp, for me its been great so far.

The engine cover has two cup holders. Great!

i have a 07 mazda3. i'm so happy with this car. in few year i want to change to 3rd generation of mazda3. really nice car. rear lag room is bit shame.

Nice review!!!!

Have the 2016 2lire astina auto at 75000km. What size tires are you using and have you changed the transmission fluid? Would you add a oil catchcan?

They much have changed it for the 2015 model year because I have a 2.5L with a 6-speed manual transmission in my 2015 3S Touring Hatchback and I love the car. As of this morning i have just over 97,000 on it and it's been flawless as my daily driver.

Beautiful review. I love the fart noises it makes. I am in between the 6 speed manual or 6spd auto. I have been looking at this gen for a few weeks as I will be using it as my daily. Retiring a high mileage Yaris and ready for something a little more fun.

These are awesome cars. I have a 2018 3 hatchback that I’ve somehow already driven 54,000 miles and it’s been nothing but a great car. It’s my first Mazda and won’t be my last now.

I'm looking into a used one of these with the 6pd manual. I am concerned about the issues with direct injection, have you had your intake cleaned? I noticed you don't have an oil catch can on you pcv hose. Anyone have more input on this?

I'd watch more reviews from this guy! Also,my 2016 Mazda3 hatch is still an amazing little car for a daily. I got a couple of nissans and a Honda project car, but my mazda is alot better for what it is... 2.0L with a 6 speed MT, easy to throw around and drive.

Excellent job young man

Hopefully my 2019 CX 5 will age beautifully like this 3

I have a 2015 Mazda 3 with the 2.5 and a manual. Currently just below 80k miles and still going strong. What lowering springs/kit did you use?

Nice vid! I have a 2018 and agree with all your points. BTW What exhaust is that? Corksport?

That Mazda 3 engine cover is the Japan war flag from WW2 era. You might think it looks cool, but it's pretty offensive to some. Like putting a swastika on a German car's engine...

lovely content

Nice review, can you please tell me when it is recommended to change the transmission oil for the automatic gear?

Awesome review man 👌👊 how did get apple car play or Android on to your screen? I just picked up the 2014 Mazda 3 GT hatchback love it so far

Was just looking into these exact models of Mazda 3 hatchbacks, this review sold me for sure. Would love to know more about the mods Kase added as it hits a perfect sweet spot without being over the top. Solid commentary!

I also had a soul red sGT with the appearance package. It had a 198k miles and was paid off after 5years. Got it when it first came out. Was a hell of a car and I still miss it to this day. I got rid of it to get a 2019 Mazda6 Signature.

I have a Mazda 3 2010 manual almost at 200k I was considering if mine dies should I look into the Mazda 3 2014 or 2015 GT , what are your thoughts about the Mazda 6

that guy did a really good on this review, also that car look in great shape for being six years old!

I got 53000 miles on my 2016 astina. In south africa we only got the 2 litere sky active engine and it only came in a 6 speed auto... Ive kept mine completely stock same castrol 5w30 oil always but ive only had to top it once... It doesnt burn oil i am just worried theve never changed the transmission fluid or spark plugs. I want to keep the car forever. Its really had no issues beside premature brake pad wear and a few cracks on the driver plather seat. Was also wondering that since its a GDI will it benefit from an oil catch can?. It jerks very slightly when i pull away after a cold start

Xclnt job! I currently have a 2014 S Touring sedan. Nailed everything I love about mine and hit on the very same thing I wish were different, manual transmission.

Great review

I bought a 2014 Mazda 3 (new) for my wife and she loves it.

Bought my 2015 I-Touring in Mar 2015 and 8 years later and the only breakdown were some speakers. I have an extended comprehensive from the Mazda dealer out to 2026 so the speakers were covered. Love the car. The blind spot monitoring on side view mirrors was standard on the I Touring then. Love the car. No reason for me to get rid of as I cannot replace my satisfaction with this car with another I know of. Of note, I replaced the standard antenna with a shark fin with no impact on the high def radio. It looks like a a Gran Touring with the shark fin antenna.

Those wheels, so much nicer than the standard 18s. The black trim was standard on a special edition sport black in the UK.

Good job with review

Great review, very well done. Looking for a 3 for myself to replace a crapping out Altima, and just bought an MX-5 for the wife, so can get away with a smaller more fun car for me. This helped with looking for the car to get.
