I've owned an 08 Mazda 3 for a few years now and the amount of money I've spent on repairs is zero dollars! I am 100 percent sticking with another Mazda if the time comes to get a new vehicle.
I have the exact same model. A 2015 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring at 127,000 miles and still drives like brand new. Extremely reliable and only had to replace my alternator just last month. Other than that, just normal maintenance. It's bulletproof.
I got a white sedan last week. It's 2.2l Diesel 110kw. Attractions model in EU. The car is a beast. The acceleration is brutal and the car is beautiful. Before i drove a 2002 Ford fiesta. So it's a quantum leap for me. My Mazda 3 puts a smile on my face when i see it and drive it.
Hey, I'm from Peru Latin America. Thanks to this video I decided to buy a Meteor Grey Mazda 3. I am waiting for the delivery day, hope that was the best decision I ever made. Thank guys!
i hydroplaned off of the highway in this car and this car saved my life wasn’t crushed at all, i only had minor injuries. this car gave me no issues either. i miss it.
@@MarielleMorrisI bought the s Grand Touring version of this car and it was on empty and I filled it to the brim at $35.00. I live in Island County WA and gas price was $3.35 per gallon.
2015 mazda3 here, white with black wheels. I've had the car for almost 4 years now, 141k miles. I can say without a smidgen of doubt that anybody looking to get a stylish, not-2020-era-new vehicle should absolutely invest in this. For the duration of my ownership I've only had to replace tires, brakes, battery, oil, and I get regularly scheduled engine maintenance. And all of that is including the occurrence of a car accident that happened 2 weeks after I got the car, used. I ran up a curb at a three way going about 65 mph. There was $8000 of internal damage but nothing debilitating or irreparable. These cars are built like tanks... I always say...float like a Cadillac, sting like a bimmer, tough like an Abrams, designed for a dreamer.
Got one this week 2014 sport nav. White with black wheels like yours. Everyone from friends and family that saw the car says it looks stunning. Drives great as well.
I just bought a 2015 Mazda 3 Grand Touring for $12,309. It has had one owner and is in excellent shape. Thanks for this video. I last had a Hyundai Accent SE and this car has WAY more power and stability. Someone asked me if my car is 'turbo-charged.' I don't know this. Does anyone know if my model has this?
I have a 2015 Mazda3 S Grand Touring so basically same model but without the mods at over 127,000 miles. The maintenance costs is phenomenally low. Only repair was alternator replacement. Everything else was oil changes, tire rotations, 1 tune up, new tires, new battery, and that's about it. The ONLY grey/questionable area is transmission because it is sealed and requires no fluid replacement...but we all know that there is NO such thing as a transmission that lasts forever. So I have set aside like $5k for a replacement transmission whenever it fails. But again...at 127,000 miles...it still shifts like brand new and no jerks or anything wrong. Now...there are folks who do still manage to flush their trans fluid in this model at every 60k miles or so. Of course I found that out recently, aka a tad late, so I'm going to keep riding with the factory fluid since it's very likely my trans is used to the thicker more frictioned fluid and flushing it now might actually do more harm than good. Hope this information helps! If you do everything yourself, expect a VERY LOW COST maintenance experience. If you take it to the shop, then the maintenance expense is still fairly low but labor basically doubles the cost if I were to guess.
@@ZoraPMC Nice, I found a 2015 Mazda 3 i Touring, the sedan for $8,750 at 100k miles. Is it a good deal? Seems to be well maintained and very minor wear inside that seems easy enough to clean up
@@unoriginalyoutubename8761 if it's been well taken cared of then definitely worth it...tho I would try to see if I could get it a little less, say closer to $8,000 but I'll settle at $8,500. I'm now at 140,000 miles on mine and still no problems.
@@unoriginalyoutubename8761 That would be a sweet first car! my first car that I bought 2 years ago was a 2012 mazda 3, it's been a great car so far :)
Crazy how the market has evolved - I just bought a 15 Mazda3 hatch sGrand Touring for $15k (65,000 miles) and I feel like I got a decent deal. Came from 900 miles away….
@@buchajo I know. I just bought the identical trim for $12,3k after bargaining the dealer down from $12.9k (It was listed as a 'sale price' from $16.9k. Mine has 97k miles on it. Not my ideal but affordable and based on research this car has up to 250k miles longevity if regularly serviced.
@@MelissaDuffySacredBreath Honestly I think you'll be just fine with it. I'm right around 90k miles now and all I've done over the last 20k miles or so is tires, brakes, oil changes. I feel like within the next 20k miles I'll have to see where the suspension is at. Prob replace the serpentine belt and spark plugs. That's likely it. I expect another 5 years out of this car, and I've had it for just over 2 years. I think you picked a good one! ☝️
I am a serious researcher about getting my money's worth in a used car. That is why I bought the Mazda 3! Before I did this I checked Consumer Reports, Safety ratings, Reliability Ratings, low annual maintenance costs ratings etc etc. The Mazda 3 was one of a short list of cars (along with the Honda and Toyota cars including the Prius) that I came up with based on my research. Make sure when you are car shopping that any car you want is a 'clean title' vehicle. Avoid cars on social media or newspapers where you find out that are 'refurbished or 'reconditioned' as this typically means they are 'salvage' vehicles that have been in a 'totalling' of the vehicle level accident with what is major damage and you will get zero funds if you are in a collision with a salvage car from your insurance company or on the other driver's insurance. Also, being a salvage vehicle means the structural integrity of the car may be compromised. It's not worth it to get a 'salvage' car. Also, car dealerships are the safest places to get a used vehicle as they do a thorough inspection and safety related repairs on used vehicles. d I got my car from a Toyota dealership. They automatically gave me a free 1 year service warranty with the car and a 3 months drive train warranty. Bottom line is that dealers don't want to sell you junk vehicles. Any car they can't fix that is not in good enough condition for the dealership to sell they will sell to a non-dealer lot, so beware of the non-dealer lots! Cars there may "look good" but may not be. For sure get an ASE certified mechanical inspection and if they refuse this and this hasn't been done, walk away. Also, check for flood damage or salvage history cars on free gov websites and be sure to get a detailed car history printout before you buy! (There are a number of companies that do this)
If someone can help me here, thanx. I have an 08 Maz3. When it rains, i get water build up in the driverside door. U can hear it 'squish' when u open it or drive. The car..i love. But WTH? Auto locks work for the doors to. But not that one.
Take it to the dealer and get an estimate for repair. Check with salvage yards about getting a replacement door or pay for body shop to repair it (pricey though!) If you weren't the original owner this problem could be from a previous owner who had an accident where the door was damaged.
Nice upgrades man. I got a white 14 s touring. Haven't done much mod though, Added metal petals and footrest, 3m scotch protection film on the 2 black plastic pieces in between the door windows and wired a front and back view dash cam.

Reliable?
Yes. According to Consumer reports.
Hope anybody replies:
Which are the differences between the "S Grand Touring" and the "Grand touring"?
Which is better?
Thanks!!
Andy Carrasco just type the car name on any popular search engine then add wiki
S grand touring has 2.5L engine, i Grand Touring is 2.0
Does this car have a auxiliary port
Nathan Le yes
Update: With Corksport mid muffler (glass pack) cut off and straight piped, Corksport cutback exhaust sounds and functions wayyyyy better!
