The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah."
I'm also the producer for the Winding Road TH-cam Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly test vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, you'll see! Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Hot dang - thanks for 50,000 subscribers, everyone!!
TheTopher would it be possible to put Engine Specifications in the description portion for future videos?
5 years later you at 527k
By far one of my favorite TH-camrs/Reviewers with cars; clear audio, great comments, objective, great test, to the point.
I have had this exact car for 3 years - still love it today.
Tim DuMoulin any issues ?
@@seanr.7349 no
@@timdumoulin2576 nice!
I have a used 2016 and and still no issues 5 years later. Just your typical oil changes, one brake replacement done by the past owner and windshield wipers.
I agree with everything you said here, very fun to drive and you will always be looking for the long way home
Great review! Love your accent :) Binaural is awesome!
Them headlights are lit
Excited for the Mazda lineup comparison
Can't wait to see what Mazda has for their next gen models. Sky-ActivX and a potential redesign? Let's hope it comes with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.
I like it when you turn your head really quick from left to right and vice versa. Almost like a scene from Blair Witch Project. But hey thumbs up for your review on this 2018 Mazda 3 Grand Touring. I actually plan on getting the same trim GT in July but I prefer Crystal Blue or Machine Grey Metallic.
Topher from what I read in the owner's manual, it will only stay at the redline with the TCS off, even in M mode it will shift itself if revved out enough.
Flint/Lansing, 6 Mile, Phoenix Theatres... holy shit you're driving in my area lmao
The road noise is the only thing I don’t like about my Mazda 3. I love it other than that! It’s fun!
I'm excited for the 2019 Mazda 6 with the new engine
expect to pay extra. Mazda are notorious for their price gouging
Hero Hour How so? I feel like for $25K for the new top trim 3 you get a pretty nice car. Specs and price wise, the 3 matches its competitors pretty much perfectly aside from getting better gas mileage.
Actually, Toyota are far more notorious on that.
Guys, need your advice, I am about to changing a car, Mazda 2 is better or the Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 EV plus is better?
Great videos i've seen here in your channel, specially the Mk1 miata, OMG i love that miata and it's sound, btw if you do videos more like everyday or Day Yes-Day No you will get more attention, now it's the best time where cars are hitting too much on youtube!! :D But ofc just do what you want if you have time !
How long has it since you drove a Mazda 3? I know that you stated it been a couple a years, but it been on the same platform since 2014. Nice review though.
Could you do the Mazda little van lol. Love that thing, mod possibilities
How sensitive is the blind spot monitoring? Is it as bad as the cx5?
Could you please tell me where/how your camera is mounted?
What are your impressions of the Subaru XV 2018?
I would get it
is it still good in 2024? going to buy a 2nd hand
So hows the wind noise? Compare to other cars
Civic 1.5T or Mazda 3 GT??
'The transmission feels like it's reading my mind, it does what I want it to do' - why not use the paddle shifters?
Was this the 2.5 motor?
Savagegeese is the only guy worth watching. Cant find anyone else who actually reviews a car.
There NEEDS to be a speed3 version of this. Maybe with the 2.5T and (dare I say it) all wheel drive.
Chris Capaccio Cool. Then it will rivalry the Subaru WRX/STI.👍
I'd trade in my 2015 mazda3 for it in a heart beat
This comment aged well ;)
Did you use sport mode ?
🙌
Does the radar cruise be able to stop the car all the way to zero?
Tech Defender pretty sure it does. the cx5 came to a complete hault when i drove one
How are the cabin noise levels on the highway?
Get some Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3s and you'll be fine
wind noise at driver side a pillar is very noticeable above 60mph, but thats the problem in this class. I think civic is louder.
ps3psnps3 - The Toyota Corolla has a MUCH quieter interior and nicer materials.
The Toyota Camry is also a midsize sedan, not a compact one. The Camry should be compared with the Accord and Mazda 6.
The Mazda 3 should be compared with the Corolla and Civic.
Weiyang Li i have that same issue on mine. would love if they had added sound dampeners to make it quieter. Seen a guy on youtube do it and made his car way quieter. You could even have the music at around 12 and still have a easy to hear conversation.
1st
the 3 is too slow... I drove my friends and every time I drive it I feel like falling asleep...
get the GT then come talk to me LOL
2 expensive. Mazda's are terrible for the price they charge
Hero Hour got my touring for $21k for 0 miles 2018. dont know how cheaper youd want it lol
Englewood Frank21 I had an rx8 full title on my name. That was a $500 trade in discount plus $2k for the rx8 being over 100k and market value :/. and they gave me $another $2k off the car’s MSRP. Has moon roof, bose sound system, warning indicator safety system on side mirrors. No led headlights or max safety features like lane departure warning and the screen on the windshield that tells you your mileage speed. If i were you though. Id go with the grand touring
Englewood Frank21 oh mines also a 2.5L engine automatic
I bought 3 mazdas over last 6 years. Cant get any cheaper here in canada. Fully loaded tech is approx 32k can even talk and negotiate lower at dealership. There definately improved.
Tarek Taher i would consider the mazda 6 if u wanna get mazda top end of the line.
