Definitely not popular… Looks like a teenager vehicle now and sales numbers definitely prefer the 2018 and earlier. Curious to see what Mazda redesigns in response to the dropping sales of the 3...

@@James-nx3nf this is completely inaccurate

@@James-nx3nf you have no idea what you’re saying.

Turbo for 2021.

Thanks for the sub! Hope to hear from you again in future vids

How do you geel about the blind spot ? any issue and what about back seat space ?

@@CalleRasmussen1 to be absolutely fair don't feel it at all... as probably 360° camera and blind spot monitoring helps a lot... many cars especially suv got big C pillar.. in general never got problems and noticed any issues every day driving including trips on continent as I living in UK.. hopefully I could help..

@@CalleRasmussen1 back seats space isn't great..but no tragedy lol..2 adult got enough room.. 3 would not recommend

@@RobSinox Thanks helps a lot. I gonne get my mazda 3 tomorrow :D

@@CalleRasmussen1 awesome!!!!

Congrats! I hope it really treats you well

Same here, 2014 great car! The new one has a few drawbacks and it's more expensive overall but certainly not more fun to drive.

Haven’t had the chance to test out the revised Civic, but the new corolla is going to be in my hands next month! As of right now, the civic and the 3 are my top picks for compact sedans/hatches

TheDriveGuyde I have to agree. Also, it appears you need to go to a GTi to get an enjoyable VW Golf. What’s important here, in my view, is that there are some excellent cars in this (relatively) affordable class. Interesting comparison Max. You seem pretty happy with your (white) 2018 for now.

Yep

If you haven’t, have a look at the latest version of the Cruze or Elantra. I’m sure there’s plenty of cheap Civic hatches on the used market now

TheDriveGuyde you mean the last version of the Cruze

The 2.5 engine is one of the best in the market, that’s why most of mazda vehicles use this engine

And 2.0 L vs. 2.5 L.

I realized that halfway through the video. In the U.S., after 2016 you could no longer get the 'Preferred Equipment Package' in the Mazda 3 hatchback. Just in the sedan! I guess Canada lucked out there. I don't think that's fair Mazda! His 2018 Mazda 3 Sport has that 'Package'. You can tell by the interior fabric, rear seat armrest, and exterior trim.

Let me ask you, have you ever type a message thru a touch screen phone while not looking at it?.. it is simply not intuitive.. you need to look at it to be able to know what is up..

@@Alex-yj9xl Er, "valued", I guess? They used to be the "Wow, these are actually nice!" car for the price for first-time buyers.. I wouldn't need power windows either, just always love reliable start, go, handle, and (great brakes) stop when and how you want it ;)

Buyers remorse is a big thing in the car world!

I don't trust technology as much as my eyes. You shouldn't either

@@metallicafan416 absolutely can't trust blind...but helping a lot..

Insurance would kill me on either of those cars! I pay too much as it is! Haven’t had the chance to try out the manual accord as much as I want to. 2020 models may be appearing soon so hopefully I will be able to set something up in the next few months!

Try keeping your heel on the floor as you come off the clutch, you have more control that way, less jerky.

exactly what I am wondeing,I drive a 2018 HB M3,not yet tried the 2019 model,thanks

Owner of a 3 manual for 2 years, great car in the winter. As long as you aren’t driving in the deep slush, you’ll never have a concern

@@maxlandireviews 😲.... You really got some height. Seems fair for someone like me. Guess my next step is heading to a dealer, see if it works for me. I usually drive a bit lower and further from the steering, wonder how persons seated behind me would fit in.

At the time of your comment is was a brand new car and release. Who could speak to it's reliability yet? IDIOT!!!!

@@a.j.patron9214 the new model had many electrical problems right from the start, also my comment was from 10 months ago which was around september 2020, and the car came out in march of 2019. at least it did in my country.

A fine review, but I have to agree with Blake. While the 2019 interior is unarguably more refined and the seating position improved, the exterior is unnervingly bulbous from the rear and, as the reviewer points out, made prior visibility issues conspicuously worse. (How do you 'overlook' bad lines of sight??) By contrast, the flowing lines and elegant 3/4 views of the prev gen styling have aged well - looking all the better against the bizarre, trying-too-hard new Civic and the rental-car wrapper on the Jetta. Subjective judgement, I give you. Stepping away from the indep rear suspension increased profit margins for Mazda, sure - but given that a 2018 base hatch could be had for $2,800 less than the entry price now - how's it a really contest? They're both great cars, but the 2018 just seems the more livable, grow-old-with-it-and-smile way to go. That's my plan, anyway!

Blake Swan Mazda is focusing on fuel economy which is getting stricter all over the world.

@@douglasforrester2829 i had that dilemna.. i was about to purchase the 2018 version.. but when i saw the 2019 in soul red crysyal, i had my heart pumping for it.. there was no contest anymore.. the civic (we dont have an SI in our country, we only have a 177hp CVT civic) and 3rd gen wasn't really on my shortlist anymore.. maybe it comes down to taste, i am not really the person to care for a few seconds slower on 0 to 100 or want to enter a curve with a lot of speed for thrills.. i now prioritize comfortability, NVH (which the 3rd gen lacks), plushiness of the cabin (thr 3rd don't have anything against thr 4th gen in interior design), the headlamps and tail lamps (so good looking at night).. maybe it is because of my age.. i'm already 29.. haha

@@dornierserctajon8094 I have to agree with you on the huge interior refinement and suspect you are also right about NVH reduction - though I have not driven the 4th Gen yet. Funny you'd say that; I was just in my '17 all day yesterday, and was thinking "This tire noise really gets wearying after a while!" You tune it out, but after a few hours.... And you sure are right about the Soul Red. Glows, doesn't it?! Good choice. I do not think, however, that anybody in the '20 will get my 36 mpg overall since purchase... Anyway, happy motoring - ZoomZoom.

@@douglasforrester2829 i was amazed how it glows when the sun hits it and even when street lights hits in during the night.. i didn't really expect it to be that beautiful.. just WOW

Give the choice between a sedan and the equivalent sized/priced SUV, I’ll likely end up with the sedan

Exactly why when shopping for a 2018 MZ3 hatch, I ended up in a CPO 2016. No auto braking, no adaptive cruise control, no lane departure crap messing with the steering wheel, a REAL handbrake handle, and a physical CD player. I agree, the new tech is just producing zombies behind the wheel.

@@fredzeppelin3969 I'd love to have a CD player in my car. Enjoy yours!

What happen ??

Glad that we don’t have auto brake system on Mazda in our country

I own a 2019 Mazda 3. Is there a way to turn off the automatic braking system? This is not the first time I’m reading of the automatic braking system almost getting someone killed.
