Jeez this guy is a real professional - not just spouting the press material like many.
Great review video. I just stole a 2019 Mazda CX3 from my local Mazda dealer with only 9K miles on it. My first Mazda was the MX6. That's the one with the oscillating AC fans. Also had a Mazda Protege. I'm in my 70's so I've had a lot of cars over the years but the CX3 is the most fun I've ever had driving. The styling, color (red), and interior are excellent. Love the Control function on the console. Took about 45 using it to be able to not look at it while driving - it is so intuitive. As you, I'm not a big fan of the screen but after a while I got used to it. Mine is automatic and the sport mode is really fun - and for such a small engine it throws me back in my seat. Smiles all the way - especially every time I approach the car's beautiful silhouette. Liked the dealership so much I bought a 2022 Mazda 3 5 door for my wife. Two other things: I live in Florida and the sun is brutal here so I ordered the OEM sunshades for both cars. These have the Mazda logos on them. Really well made and look fantastic. The last item is something I've done with new cars for years is to have the tires balanced. I've never seen a car with factory balanced tires. The other thing I always check as well is tire pressure. On both cars, especially the CX3 with the big wheels, I dropped the PSI 2 lbs less that the default PSI. The Mazda 3 feels like I'm driving on butter it's so smooth. The only 'fault' I have with both cars is poor rear seating. However, we rarely carry passengers so no big deal. As you can tell by the length of this review - my wife and I are very happy campers. Thanks again for a great video.
I just got a cx3 yesterday. Really happy with it and because I live up a windy hill, the stiffer suspension is great with minimal body roll on the many corners I have to go around. I also got the higher model with leather heated seats, auto lights/wipers, heated wing mirrors, electronic front seats, led lights/daytime leds, front and rear fog lights etc.
Best review. I’m so happy with my CX-3
I’ve been watching sooooo many car reviews for years, and many on the cx3 and without a shadow of a doubt this was the most excellent all around, unbiased, and thorough review I have ever seen, great job.
thanks so much, feel free to recommend!
I'm a huge fan of the CX-3, particularly in the US where small cars with AWD are difficult to find. The styling is excellent, I personally LOVE the materials used inside, and it has enough power for its size (we only get the 2.0L petrol I4), combined with sporty handling and good steering feel. A+ in my book.
Great review, really enjoyed how in-depth it was, looking forward to more!
Thanks 🙏
I was going to stop watching when I saw it wasn't Thomas, but Brian doesn't disappoint either...well done.
Have been watching literally every CX-3 review on youtube in the last couple of months, and really liked your first review. Some of the negatives of that review have been solved with the 2019 update, so i felt the car would really fit my personal needs and ordered mine only a week ago (top trim automatic with leather upgrade and ofcourse in beautifull soul crystal red) Seeing this new video in my feed has made my day. Shows the car in great detail, very nice and pleasant reviewer and overall the experience that i made a great decision in getting the car. Now for the wait till november until i receive the keys...
thank you autogefühl!
thanks for sticking to us!
@Sinister Veridicus Thank you! Only 10 more days!
Roy Visser do you think you could get a pram comfortably in the boot?
How has the experience been ?
Thank you for your review!
Ive purchased the exact model and colour and only owned it for 5 days and I have to say that I love it!
I upgraded my Mazda 2 after 11 years to this car and what a great upgrade it is!
Your review was very helpful and it convinced me to buy one.
Thank you 😁
cool man, best of luck!
Mazda are doing an excellent job with their exterior/interior design and improving their overall quality. Can't wait for the new Mazda 3 and Autogefuhl's review of it.
Seen our mazda3 concept preview?
I certainly did ; ) and i loved it.
Mazda, at least the JDM cars, have been up there with Honda and Toyota as top quality cars for years. Not premium maybe - but real quality :p
Where Mazda fails too much is sound insulation and rust protection.
By far the best in his category
Great video. I just purchased a new 2019 CX3 Touring the other day. Love the car. I love the look and feel and this is my 4th Mazda (first CX3) . Happy.
I have been driving a 2015 CX3 AWD diesel 16 hp with 16 in rims and it is a pleasure to drive after having driven many brands of cars. As the narrator puts it no tire noise with smaller rims and wider tire sidewalls. Everything he says about the interior is true. I think it is a luxury SUV. With snow tires it is a marvel on the snow.
Excellent review. Just bought a 2017, it's awesome!
Mazda knows how to design a beautiful car. So simple and yet so attractive to the eyes. The interior is well layed out with a very sophisticated materials used. The soul red crystal paint is so gorgeous looking and joy to watch in person.🏎🏎🏎
One of the best review with all details I've seen about this car! Thank you!
highly appreciate! Feel free to recommend our channel :)
I rented the 2018 one and got really impressed! it's a nice small car. The power is not so great. it's kinda slowish but it's not a problem in city at all. I really liked how it handles as well. I wish it has around 200hp then it'd be a great car.
Good review many thanks. My wife has the current model, it's a great car packed with tons of useful features, drives and handles really well, but a bit on the firm side. The rear space is a trade off, but it's not trying to be a full on family car. I agree with your comments regarding the info screen. But styling wise, it was love at first sight. We tested all the manufacturers cars in this sector, Mazda have it nailed.👍
thanks for the feedback!
Well done, Brian, great review, as usual! It is a nice thing for me to watch you reviewing this car, which I like very much!
Just got my dreamed-of CX3 a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Had 2 Mazda 3's prior to this but always wanted the CX3. I'm glad I waited. My last Mazda 3 was Soul Red, which I loved, so of course I picked that colour again. I thought the colour looked richer than the last one. Now I know why. There are a couple of things I miss from the Mazda 3 but who cares. I have my CX3. Yay!!!
Enjoy!
Perfect review, Brian! Mazda has really stepped up its quality and design with this face-lifted CX-3. The small phone compartment is interesting to know - especially for CarPlay/Android Auto use; I didn't know beforehand. Also, great drone shots as well 😉👌
I just love the double exhaust tips
Brian is a very good reviewer.
cheers !
Indeed but needs to reduce the number of times he asks a question and then says he'll look at it later on. Would it hurt to say once the actual dimensions of the sub compact SUV/small car.
But he has annoying voice for me
true and to be fair, this review was kinda inconsistent. he didn't rev the car, go in to depth with the safety systems and infotainment system.
yeah but Thomas speaks way too close to the mic where his reviews are pretty much asmr.
I have this beauty 2019 version and i'm so greatful. Super cute and fun to drive!
Trank you for the very informative review. Very objective. Nice camera angles to show us the beautiful lines of that car. I’m waiting of my cx-3 in October
Cheers! Cx30 review also coming :)
I just bought the CX3 Akari LE and am blown away by the car. It is very refined and the tech is seamlessly integrated. Amazing job Mazda.
I boguht the first gen cx3 ye its not refined but when it works it gigity to drive shoulda waited for 2019 i think looks sharper prob the supension feels good as well?
@@Jan07362 The suspension (and steering) is fantastic. It drives like it is on rails. Still loving it.
Awsome im gonna sneak in dealership and test drive the 2019 just want to feel the difference😁 interior update is mega.
Very thorough and pleasant review, a joy to watch. Great video Autogefuhl!
I have a fully loaded 2016 CX3, and it is phenomenal! Super fun to drive, the AWD is terrific, and the gas mileage is top notch.
how loud is it inside?
@@wahahah with the stereo off, I'd say the road noise is 5 out of ten, 1 being to most quiet. But, I mean, I have a Bose system, if I'm in my car, there's music playing.
Just waiting for mine to be delivered. Having done a lot of research, I feel this is the car for me. Saying that, it's been many years since I drove anything other than a Mada, currently riding a Mazda 3.
you will not regret if you have full LED light it's so nice driving at night
The most complete and detailed review I found about the 2019 cx3. Thanks for this! A good review is to consider the car for what is it supposed to be at is price... By the way, I bought one that I will get next friday. It has the size I looked for (the cx30 is newer and better but too long for me) and this car as a real personality far away from a Kona or a T-roc... I agree with the review, for example, when saying that a traditional RPM hand is far more sexy than a wide digital screen... Enough of screens on computers, smartphones, watches.. ! Best regards from Paris, France
Merci beaucoup!
This reviewer is top notch. Thanks.
thanks, feel free to enjoy more of our reviews :)
It's a really great car. And it's a great review too. Thank you. For exterior and interior design, this car beats the competition hands down, including Toyota's CHR.
Good review, i like the location of the video and the red color of the car.
27:10 the smaller wheels “yes, they’re not going to look as good” followed immediately by “they’re going to look just as good anyway”. Bravo impressive logic
We love our CX-3 Sport Nav petrol auto bought last year. It has BLIS (did Brian mention BLIS amongst all his talk!), and Thomas always recommends getting blind spot warning... And my wife and I actually like the HUD - a basic system but it works!
Toyota should take notes design-wise - nobody wants their shit "futuristic" exteriors, Mazda really got it right.
I want my shit futuristic, but not the futuristic Toyota is going for xD
And nobody wants fossils either. Toyota and Mazda will be the biggest victims of not electrifying, and they have really deserved it. Not even trying.
@@AlenMecan hydrogen is the future which is still electric. Mazda and Toyota has a partnership for future products like this. Toyota wants mazda's technology while Mazda wants Toyota's hydrogen electric motor.
Dont agree. Hate mazda granny car looks
@@BoringThings2069 LOL you are ridiculous.
Superb looking car! I'm not a japanese cars fan, but I want to own this one.
Great review my friend keep up the good work.
A really good reviewer.
Thank you so much! Please recommend / share our channel and our videos 🙏
Great review! Good job Mazda.
Excellent review !! great job !!
Highly appreciated !
Hi Brian!
Great review! Sub compact crossovers are literally the only type of SUV I'd ever drive, otherwise I'm not a big fan of this class of cars xD
Wow this is a great review!👏 Now im late in work😂
😂
Good review,thanks Brian👏🏼👏🏽
With its great awd system, what it needs to have as add on to its proven system, a adjustable suspension on the fly for it to have 2inch lift when you decide to bring it off-road
great review
So in love with this car it’s gonna be my starter❤️❤️
Good review.Get this guy to host Top Gear
thanks, please share =)
Good and honest review!!!
Great review Brian. I am doing a comparison between CX3 and HRV now but I just love the exterior of the CX3 facelift.
Thanks! Also compare our HRV review: th-cam.com/video/2RkIp0G5QDU/w-d-xo.html
Cheers Brian!
the best review i've watched. thanks!!
👌
Lovely review, please do the 2019 Mazda 3 when it comes out. Same reviewer. Thanks
thanks - will do !
Thanks for a great review. I have ordered mine and can't wait to drive it!
cool enjoy :)
You can adjust the head up display option to suit your eyeline....... Its in settings
Yes! I think they should have user profiles for different drivers for the electric seats and HUD adjustments.
Good review Brian!
I looked at the CX3 in the showroom when first launched side by side with the 3. One thing was very noticeable was the grade of plastic used in the interior and parts that you touch, e.g. window switches, they felt like they were formed from plastic as used in disposable food containers! I know that they want to keep the weight down etc... but if it makes the car feel cheap, then its not a good move. The armrest felt fragile also. I wonder how this new face lift model have improved.....need to go to the showroom for another look.
Thx pal!
Very good review ! I have Mazda2 and also happy with it
At 72 iam schrinking,may trade my 2011 outback.This looks like nice value for money car 😉
Good review, entertaining and informative. And yes, its good to be telling when a feature is anoying ;-) .Looking forward to the next review.
thanks, keep tuning in =)
I think it is based on Mazda 3 more than Mazda 2... Engine is 2L. Which is available on Mazda 3 not 2
You are an excellent reviewer. Instant like and subscribe.
Welcome !!
Informative and enlightening review. Has encouraged me to buy another Mazda.
thanks and enjoy!
Great review as always. As mentioned at the beginning about lights, I have a question. Is it only me or all those fancy LED lights blinding drivers opposite to them as they blinding me?
Thanks! Its an aspect that brighter lights can blind others yeah..
just beautiful this car!
G121 and G150 are the same 2.0 litre naturaly aspirated engine just tuned differently (same engine in MX5), so you can just go to a local tuner and tune it to 170 horsepower
Thks,good and fair review.
Good video, really comments about Head Up Display, I have 4 year old Mazda 3 with HUD and it's marvellous. I'm 5'9" tall and can see the speed display perfectly. I do like the new CX3 though.
thanks peter!
Very nice car, but they don't upgraded the infotainment screen... And the lcd display's on the cockpit are not matrix dot. Thats a pitty. But outside it looks nice, and inside they use very nice looking materials.
Great review..👏👏👏👏
Thanks 🙏
Like the review but you were lacking some information. For instance, I would like to see the revised rear LED lights and if the indicator lights are LED now or not. Also, you mention the headlights are halogen but around 24 minutes you can clearly see that they are LED.
I like the review though, as you go into specifics but I would have liked it more if you had gone into the changes and the details of those changes.
On the power front, 121 HP is quite a lot for a car that weighs just over 1100 kilo’s, which with all the sound deadening is quite surprising.
i drove it 2 times but still thinking!
Stock this car's stance looks near perfect. Mazda needs to transfer this design language to the next CX5 redesign!
Great review! Thanks!
👌
Fantastic video thank you
I have a CX-5, would consider a CX-3 in future, but I can't believe they didn't put an arm rest for the driver!
NAX13443 Watson ; The model reviewed here (2018/2019 model) does have an arm rest for the driver in all versions. Just drive one, I think you’ll love it...🙂
Great review, for me at 23:36 I always prefer to listen the car, it gives me a sense of "more in control" maybe its just me as you say! :D
cheers! =)
That flimsy cable behind the middle mirror looks awful. As far as I remember every Mazda had it and they still haven't got rid of it!
Fantastic review, thank you for that. I'm in the position of choosing a new car for a client of mine who qualifies for the Motability scheme. This car, a Seat Arona, Nissan Qashqai, Citroen C4 Cactus and a Peugeot 2008 are on the shortlist. I am limited by vehicles needing to be driven by under 25s, that reduces the maximum power of the engine to 120BHP or less, and also insurance group 16 or lower.
The CX-3 was my favourite over the Arona because of quality and power. However, your review has put me off because of the tiny infotainment screen. I can see my colleagues not being impressed by this as the other cars we have all have larger screens, although some have dreadful interfaces and dashboards, cough cough, Toyota C-HR. I do love the traditional heater controls in the CX-3, we use them a lot here in the "It's grim up north" UK.
I think if I can get the Mazda dealer to throw in free metallic Soul Red Crystal then they'll win. However, what an absurd way to choose a car! As you said yourself, you spend much more time sitting in it than looking at it!
It'll have to be a test drive and see if the CX-3 SE-L Nav+ can beat the extremely well equipped Seat Arona Xcellence Lux. PS, my client doesn't care at all about the vehicle, except for the colour ;O)
Thanks 🙏 you can also check out the other reviews of the cars you mentioned, we have all of them. TH-cam search Autogefuehl Toyota chr for example
Always go with Mazda
Great car. Great reporter.
🙏🙏
Mazda should build a Mazda CX-3 MPS
That's not true.
Mazda should make every model with optional MPS.
Imagine the 2 going 0-100 in 6 seconds.
cracking review and i agree flip-up HUD not great, and its what Ford just introduced. I do like the one on my CX-5 straight into the window. Mazda do need to start looking at adding turbos, the petrol engines do struggle on over-takes, especially uphill ones (or you end up really pushing them).
thanks keep following us!
What's the quality of Mazda's automatic gearboxes? I'm thinking of buying smaller petrol engine with automatic transmission.
They are reportedly great
@@hjer731 Too late. :) I purchased Audi Q2.
I don't care about how it looks, this cars biggest asset is the fact that there is no CVT transmission
Honestly, I'm impressed that Mazda is still in business. Love the new design. Car is easily recognizable. I'm disappointed that Mazda denies technology and backs away from it. I would have been happy if their party trick was an iPad in the center console similar to the Volvo's. I really don't see Mazda surviving past 2025.
What camera and wireless microphone model do you use? it has excellent quality and outdoor wind tolerance
This car looks so good and well designed but needs the new 2.0 engine from the 2019 model MX-5 with over 180bhp.
my dream car i wish mazda could not change mazda cx3 model its cute
Great review, you have a keen eye.
Well, this was a great review.
Thanks! Please recommend
Great review!!
👏👏
Good review,i was going to lease the sport and drove this sport unit with pro active system 1100 dollors more all wheel drive.all the reviews untill i got to yours made me want to go back to my mits outlander sport.my outside viewing was smaller like you said but i think im going to take the lease!i would like to ask is it quiet like you said i thought it had road noise but maybe im looking for it to be to quiet! i thank you very much and wish yo oly health and good things...tony d!
Yeah, we looked at the CX-3 when we needed a crossover, there was alot to like with the CX-3 but ultimately decided against it because we could not live with any of the engine options available. 150hp should have been enough but it still felt so incredible sluggish, 10 seconds to 100km/h and anything above 100km/h and the acceleration was pretty much dead, fuel economy was nothing to brag about either. So i guess the engines was more on the peaky side (having to rev like crazy to make them work) and not enough low-end power. Or maybe to much transmission losses. Either way, Mazda should rethink their engine strategy for the CX-3
Maybe we have become over reliant on a turbo engine giving that instant boost. I am thinking of buying this car simply because it hasn't got a turbo to seize up through lack of oil and coolant feed when shutting down engine after a long run without equalising temperatures and the fact that it has a torque converter auto box not a troublesome twin clutch
8:05 So that's what that space is for - perfect!
17:18 money shot! I wish you could have explained the SD NAV port and its cost :(
Très belle analyse complète du véhicule! Good job for the review, the car is explained very well👍 I’m from Belgium and I wanna buy the CX3 2019
merci !
great review, before the test drive.
does it have a folding side mirrors? thanks!
Yes it has i own one today
very good review
Appreciated!
What about sound system? Nobody takes attention to that in reviews
Just bought one nice lite bugger all the options but the wintertyres 18" 50 profile spike tyres make it a little bit noicy..
But i guess i could sell the wheels to a lot of people and get down to more normal wintertyres apart from that a lovely little car with 10 years warranty,..
Have fun with it!
thank you!
