Indian in Canada who grew up in Singapore, watching a German reviewing a Japanese car. 😂

I have owned an a4 b7 1.9 tdi tunned for the past 5 years and I am looking for a new car. I am test driving a g120 hatchback next friday. I am really curious about how it goes. There should be no difference in city between the g120 and g165. But if I think more, the g165 would be my final choice. Other cars, I don't really feel like they resonate with me as good.

thanks steve !! Join us for more :)

Except he has a vegan agenda. Maybe all this while ago he was a little more subdued but he rails against leather seats these days. It’s funny how in his reviews he talks about how much he likes PVC plastic-leatherette and how premium it feels, but then complains about how leather gets hot in summer and cold in winter. Which is it? Leatherette performs equally or worse to leather in this regard, it’s basically vinyl. But he will selectively choose to highlight the positives of leatherette but when it comes to leather it becomes all bad. He can highlight faux alternatives for the vegan-minded, but there’s no need for the level of agenda pushing he does today. Yea we get it you don’t eat meat and like to increase plastic consumption instead of using an organic byproduct that will otherwise be discarded.

Thanks a lot Ben! I look forward to read further comments from you to our test vehicles and I'd also like to welcome you to the Autogefuehl community!

obrigado !

vielen Dank!

thanks buddy - spread the word for us :)

thanks, keep tuning in! :)

i'm on it, still looking for a good compact sedan, may you do more Reviews of them ;)

thanks buddy - spread the word to your friends!

The 120hp and the 165hp versions are the same engine - only electronically throttle limited to meet softer demands for emission, road tax and insurance in many euro countries. Actually, the 120 hp version is underrated with a power output closer to 140 :)

thanks !

I always like hatchbacks better, I actually had a 2nd gen Mazda3 hatch, but in this generation I went for the sedan!, cool thing in Mexico is we can buy the 2.5 petrol!

there is something about the hatch that gets to me... the sportiness!!

+Teodor Milcheliev very interesting to hear! :)

+dantze Thanks for sharing your xp with the community!

cheers! Also check out our review of the new generation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6tneNdhs8_Tcp8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9adas-Gv9e3lqM.html

+Jan Šinkovec The Suburb is way bigger. Not the same segment. De Mazda 3 is a C segment car, the Suburb a D (like the Mazda 6). The rear can't be too long on a C-segment, because it would go past why a lot of people buy a C-segment.

***** yea like i said its a long car but im talking about the back (c?) pillar, its too far out towards the trunk and it makes the estate version look like a sedan.

+bartiz12 Cars that are built somewhere else aren't worse necessarily. The same construction applies normally. The points Thomas pointed out is something that's just part of the design. I used to have the Mazda 6 until very recently (I got a company car), and the thing with the middle console is what my car had as well (no sharp steering wheel edges though). It isn't something that has to do with bad assembly, it's a design thing.

+L.GH. Djoetma The car manufacturers always receive our opinion of the cars and then it is their decision if they want to change it or not.

Fold up a towel

+artemusje2 haha great =))

Softer or stiffer ride

Thanks! Also tune in to our video of the new generation, you find with KZfaq search Autogefuehl mazda3

N/A engines are imho more durable than the Turbos. However as for look and feel, the Golf plays in another league: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZl1f5Om0teVYZc.html

should be next to the door handle, folding the button above that

+Gabriel Flores oh wow!

+Cris FanCars Interesting point! We will check this and thanks for your comment. :)

+Cris FanCars got some more info, indeed in Norway and Netherlands, governments have such plans, not sure when they will be fixed 100 per cent though

+MoneyDawg Thanks again! :)

+Autogefühl 👍

+VolvoCars not that I know of

Pri attraction in revolution opremi imaš na voljo dizla avtomatika ...

ja dizel avtomatik, kaj pa benz avtomatik.. ki ima 165 konj? .nope, nothing.. dobesedno če hočeš benz automatic potem imaš 120 konj dovolj je rekla mazda.. za slovenski trg seveda.. kar je totalno bedno ker 120 avtomatik za benza dobiš samo pri top konfiguraciji revolution top kar pomeni da daš 26k € za avto ki bo imel 120 konj.. L.O.L. .. dobiš pri škodi, seatu, golfu in drugje za ta denar 150+ konjov brez problemov in z avtomatikom in z benz motorjem..

V prvem komentarju si napisal, da nimamo na voljo dizel avtomatika ... Sem samo napisal, da je ... tudi mene zmoti okleščena ponudba pri nas ...sam bi rad 165 bencinarja avtomatika RT ... Če zaslediš, da ga kje drugje v evropi prodajajo ... mi le sporoči.

v glavnem všeč mi je naraven atmosferski motor 2.0 oz. 2.5(ki ga mazda ne da evropejskemu trgu, no vsaj slovenskemu ne), ampak 120 konj ni dovolj, vsaj 150 rabiš, dizel pa itak pride v poštev če imaš službo tam 40km+ od svojega doma.. jz mam 5 km.. lol, ni šans da kupim dizla, ..rabim benza pa močnega da mi bo se všeč vozit ko grem mal izven svoje okolice.. po drug stran za 22k € dobiš hudga megane grandtoura, karavana z ravnim dnom -prtljažnik se ful hudo zloži, avtomatično z pritiskom na gum zadaj, prostora dovolj da spiš v njem.. poraba benza dokaj mala, celo malo boljša od mazde 3.. res pa da ima turbino kar mi ni všeč, po drugi strani koliko časa nameravaš imeti avto, 20 let? potem avto s turbino prej crkne kot naravni motor ki ga ma mazda(atmosferski).. po drug strani ga bomo res imeli 20 let.. ponavadi po 5-9 letih zamenjamo avto..tko da turbina gor ali dol who cares.. in 132 konjov je kr vredu.. sem vozil testno megan grandtoura in mazdo 3.. glede na to kar ponuja je megan zmagovalec zdj.. edino kar gre plus mazdi je mogoče lepši zvok motorja(subjektivno), lepši izgled-itak, in to je to več al manj.. megan grandtour ali navaden megan hatch bolj prostorej, fuuul bolj, bolj ekonomičen, bolje zvočno izoliran(mazda ful slabo sem razočaran kar se tega tiče, motor slišim celo v idle v kabini..).. po drugi strani mazda ponuja 8 let garancije oz. 200.000 km.. hmm.. kokerkoli treba testirat vozila, čim več čim boljš.. moram še probat golfa, seata, toyoto(auris, corolla, ) civic hatcha, hyundai elantro.. in potem malo ocenit vse..

+TheBlackGhost970 without torque control

I asked if it is the 2016 model or 2017..

2016 one

I know this is years later but most of the car is in the long front. Short back also leads to the limited space there.

Seen our various Seat Leon reviews? Maybe you can decide then: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6l2Y652t57RdqM.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j71gpsmGv5unqWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpyplKthx8C4ops.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7tkZs-n19DIg4U.html

3 has more space, 2 is better for inner-city :)

R FlorezD Mazda3 for family driving, Mazda 2 for the city, it's a hoot and looks cool in white with black wheels.

+Xiahoud Leverkusen, Mazda Europe and Germany have their headquarters there

+Autogefühl I'd always wondered why German Mazda test cars had LEV license plates. Now I know. Thank you.

Crosshead1 You're welcome

+Neo Hideo Golf is more versatile, spacious and practical. You have more engine choices. Mazda drives more sporty and are usually more reliable. Looks are matter of opinion so I am not going to talk about it. If you are after good driving car with sporty feel, go for Mazda. If you want a versatile hatchback which can serve as small family car - Golf is better bet. I personally prefer Mazda, I like naturally aspirated engines, sporty driving and looks (I love the looks). Since I don't need family car I don't mind the space. Once a year it could serve as car to travel in for holidays, you can always buy roof boot / box. I am not a journalist, however I drove Hyundai ix35 and I found it pretty boring compared to 2005 Ford Focus and 2007 (mk6) Ford Fiesta. Driving experience is my priority so you see why I would go for Mazda :) If you are after good driving, you could also check out Ford Focus. Polish reviewer I follow says that new Opel / Vauxhaul Astra is the best compact on sale. Focus is his second.

+bartiz12 Marek?

Miguel B. Yes, Marek Drives :)

+Neo Hideo Everyone has a Golf (well at least in Europe :)), and when you drive it, people will assume it's a lease car. The TSI-engines are very unreliable which for me is a reason to look past it. So if you go for the Golf, go for one of the bigger engines (1.6+); but those are also more expensive. I also think this is the better looking car. However, in terms of the car keeping value and as Thomas pointed out some aspects of the internal build quality, the Golf could be better. Did you drive both of them already? Btw, check out the Honda Civic as well. The new one is very good (they have it in the US already) and in Europe the old one got restyled last year and maybe has some interesting promotions looking at the introduction of the new one next year. I prefer the Civic (the one that is current in Europe) compared to my BMW 1 series. For some it might be a bit sporty though. O and in Europe, the new Opel Astra is supposed to be good as well (not sure what that car is in the US. Some Buick??). Haven't experienced it myself though.

+Veselin Jovanovic I have no motivation to promote German car brands or any other brand

+Autogefühl l didn't say it but you are German and it is normaly to more like your domestic brands.

+Veselin Jovanovic i dont :) really unbiased

totally agree with you Thomas, i sense no bias whatsoever, actually unbiased to such a point its refreshing, .. its reason why i watch this channel, real car enthusiast who enjoy the car in every detail and appreciated whatever good it brings and criticize only if they have to,not nitpicking like some other reviewers..

+gbriank1 So what do you have? Probably no car at all? Btw, it's so dumb to compare and value brands based on the logo. The BMW that should go against this is the 1-series. Probably the BMW series that has the worst value for money ratio (I have one, so I know). And Mazda has nothing to do with BMW anyway. I think the only comparable brand is maybe Alfa Romeo.

Right now, a Taurus SHO. And yes, I have owned a Mazda3...previous generation. And I can almost guarantee I've owned more cars than you. Mazda steering is about one of the best EPS systems on the market. Something other brands should acquire from Mazda.

gbriank1 It's just cheap to degrade a brand based on nothing. That was the point. And the Taurus... Isn't that conforming to your reasoning, like the poor mans BMW 3, Audi A4 series or Lexus IS/ES-series or any of the many other cars in that segment that were deemed worthy to be sold internationally?

***** What are you talking about? If someone can't afford a BMW, Mazda is an excellent choice. Driving characteristics are very similar.

gbriank1 "poor mans BMW" suggests that's the reason to buy a Mazda, that you can't afford something better. This is bullshit.
