I'm so sorry you get a lot of negative comments about the way you pronounce it. My apologies as I speak for all Americans. Unfortunately, many Americans forget that there is another world outside the U.S. It's embarrassing really
Actually, Americans pronounce the names of the Asian car manufacturers correctly. The rest of the English-speaking world (actually, it's mostly just the Brits) tend to make a mockery of Asian proper nouns. Regardless, no one should grief Canadians about Mazda. Their pronunciation is pretty much on point, and Mazz-duh is like the secret handshake into the Canadian car subculture.
sanjogar I agree with your disagreement, what I meant to say was he is a Canadian so therefore he will pronounce Mazda the Canadian way, people did not have to leave nasty comments like that. I come to his reviews because they are for Canada. Kind of tired looking at American reviews when Im only interested in what we get here in Canada
pzzle Now I agree with you too. By the way, this beautiful car is NOT available in Latin American countries, so this is the only way I have to admire it. I really like this car. Now I think this car is being produced in Mexico so maybe we will have this car later.
Some ppl are so rude. I really like the looks of this car. And if we look at a replacement for out civic at some point, we might look at this car. thanks for the review! We are Canadian!
Don't mind those who try to diminish your knowledge and expertise , you are a hell of a reviewer and a very honest and charismatic individual . I love your work .... by the way , half of americans can't even point Canada in the map , that's how dumb and ignorant we are .
Thanks for reviewing the 2.0. So many of the reviews are for the 2.5, which it makes sense Mazda would want to show off their top of the line version, but after driving both I didn't notice enough of a difference to justify the price increase to the 2.5. Granted, I also have no issue with giving the 2.0 higher revs whereas the 2.5 develops its power lower in the rev range. Can't wait to get a 2.0 i touring hatch in red with a black interior. Though I also noticed the dead spot in the steering (used to driving a 2012 Mazda 3), but I figure I'll get used to it (the actual handling was nice and felt confident through curves without slowing up whereas other cars in the segment either felt boring or did not inspire confidence).
Thanks for the thorough review. I have watched and subscribed to your channel for quite some time and I have always felt it's really informative. Please keep it up. You're not an idiot FYI!
i own a 2014 mazda gs, i love this car highly recommend it to anyone the quality of the interior is near bmw and the touch screen with the control nob is very useful, i recommend with the 6 speed manual it gets u the most out of the engine, the auto didnt feel like it had enough balls to me but the manual makes it fun when u want it to be
I believe you have some of the best reviews on the internet. Sorry my fellow Americans called you an idiot. You were one of the first reviews I went to, and I was surprised on your pronunciation. After seeing reviews from Britain and Australia, one could conclude that we pronounce the name wrong. Just put it on that we are pretty insular---we really don't get out that much.
I just bought a 2014 Mazda 3 Sedan SkyActive 2.0 in soul red and I love this car the best on gas , I had a 2010 Mazda 3 Sport GT and it was black it had the 2.5 and it was a pig on gas my new 3 blows out my old 3 when it comes to fuel savings and the funny thing is my new 3 has a little les power then my old one and I get better Fuel savings and it has the go I like in a car :) .
Can't wait to see what the mazda cx3 will be like. One good thing about my new 3 is mazda gave me a bonus Mazda Loyalty credit I got 1.4 percent on my car loan witch is really good
Motormouth Canada and I forgot to say I will be getting the Navigation card for my new mazda 3 and apparently there is side moldings for the new 3 as well I will be going for witch it will make the car more fun to drive
The only idiots are the ones who criticized you for saying it differently and were ignorant enough to think there is only one correct way to pronounce things. I love you videos, I like your approach, keep it up!
Sorry bout the trolls, and I don't really care how someone pronounces it, but when Mazda execs (native Japanese speakers) say the name in English it sounds closer to the American pronunciation. We simply learned how to say it based on tv/radio ads saying the name, and it's always been "Mah-zduh" for us, and the parent company was the one that approved it. Same with Hyundai...we were taught it rimes with Sunday, not "Sun-die".
I am pleased with Mazda because they have chosen to forgo CVT transmissions. They are making their own automatics...still with gears. Love it. Now, if they could just do something about the direct injection engine. A multi-port injection engine would make this the perfect car.
First of all, great review and looking forward to the GT version review. Not right for people for giving you a hard time about how you and a lot of the the world say the word Mazda as you and recommend to just let it roll off of your back in the future. FYI, the "Mazda goes Hmmmmmm" commercial is how we Americans, were introduced on how to pronounce "Mazda". Enjoy! Mazda RX-3 Commercial
You mean in Japan where the brand is created they say it wrong? Because the American sound is closer to the Japanese sound. Same with Nissan, the English pronunciation of de-emphasizing the second half sounds farther from the original Japanese version.
You're acting the same way as the ignorant people saying he pronounces it wrong. There is no right or wrong, just worry about how you want to pronounce. We all know what you'll be talking about either way so it's a big deal.
I'm not saying the Canadian pronunciation is wrong. I'm simply commenting on the guy who says Americans pronounce it wrong. There's no right or wrong, you're free to pronounce it anyway you like, but saying "the rest of the world is right and Americans is wrong" is exactly the same attitude as correcting Canadians as an American.
The radio function. That you were looking for is 3 buttons down from where u had it.. with the single arrow to the right... and it looks just like the bmw radio select.
Don't let the comments get to you... some people are very narrow minded and don't realize that in grammatically correct english "Mazda" is a proper noun and hence it can be pronounced the way you like.
I know that some Canadians consider we Americans to be a bit retarded, but if you want us to subscribe to and enjoy your videos, please translate liters per kilometer to miles per gallon. In addition to being retarded, we're not very good at math or anything else for that matter. I guess that's the reason that so many Canadians, who can afford it, come to this country for their health care needs....and to vacation all winter.
GREAT review, and dude dont worry about what people call you, the "idiots" are the ones who point out the " right way" to say it. a mazda will be a mazda whether an asian or American says it.
Hey Zack Spencer: THANK YOU SO MUCH for explaining to these idiots that you are correctly pronouncing the name 'MAZDA'. I read those comments from those other guys who bad mouth you and I wonder if their shoe size is larger than their I.Q. Again; THANKS !
On behalf of my people, I'd like to apologize. You are CLEARLY not an idiot. Great review! As if a single person on this thread could deliver a review with anything near your competency level.
I wish it came in MORE colors. There is a blue but not the nice blue that used to be available in the 07 models. I would love to have a Subaru blue, like the one available in the Subaru BRZ, now that would be wonderful ! Guess I'll just have to get a custom paint job.
4:00 6.8 L/100km City 4.9 L/100km Hwy = 35mpg City 48mpg Hwy This don't seem right. Are cars more fuel efficient in Canada? What's the conversion to french fries and gravy per 100km?
Things I didn't like was it rev's very high,Also you can't have a tire monitor system or even a Temp/Battery gauge. Something I was shocked about,I didn't find the gauges in the screen settings.
I notice the Canadian version has the large center tachometer in the 2.0l version. Have to get the 2.5l for that in the USA. That's just stupid. That little digital tach we get on the left is a joke.
+Glenn McKee In theory, yes. It should also be slightly more fuel efficient as well. In addition, tire costs should also be lower. Unless if you need the bling, I'd go with 16''
Sadly I sold my Mazda 3 Sedan GT (Sport Nav). The leather drivers chair wasn't comfortable enough for me, neither were the Alloy Rims, bump bump. Although I've osteoarthritis so needed a Volvo which feels complete luxury to me. Mazda don't have far to go to become 'Premium' but the shortfall is still too great to be premium. Lovely designs!
The windows in the back are a big downside. Its true that if someone can't see out of the window when moving they get motion sickness. Dogs will sometimes get sick for the same reason. Its probably a good safety feature... but not for comfort. The new Mazda 3 is best for single people or couples with no kids.
What? Bullshit, what you do is you take your little snot nosed brats and PROP them up on the seats with a bit of cardboard or something then there's no visual acuity issue.
You never need to explain yourself to idiots. It doesn't matter how you pronounce it, we know what you are talking about. Never direct what you say to trolls. You are only feeding them.
It made me laugh too lol. I visited Vancouver and heard it pronounced that way in commercials and I had no idea they pronounced it differently up north. @nicca23 actually in Japan it's not pronounced as "mahz-duh" they pronounce it in its full form which is "matsuda". Americans still pronounce it wrong by Japanese standards but it's still close to its original pronunciation.
Sorry to say but if you're referring to this dude then you couldn't be anymore wrong. In Japan (where the company originates) they pronounce it as "matsuda".
No u not an idiot there is an umloud as we they in Germany n it will sound different in different country the A keep doing your thing I luv the way Mazda looks not this hatch one but the other one
here is some schooling: mazda is a japanese name, it should be pronounce in japanese. In japanese, ma is exactly the same as your "American way" of pronouncing. I am still your fan~ .
You're exactly right. I studied Japanese language for a year in university, and the Japanese pronunciation of "Mazda" (the correct pronunciation) is more akin to the American way of saying it than the way it is said in other English speaking countries.
He's not on about how it's meant to be said, he is just clarifying that it is a Canadian review and that's how they pronounce it. Like he said, some unnecessary aggressive comments on his pronunciation from mainly Americans. Here in Australia we pronounce it the same as the Canadians and UK reviews pronounce it the same way too. Doesn't mean it's wrong. All countries have different accents and differing ways of pronouncing words. Must be annoying to see the negative comments on here when all he's doing is talking in his native tongue
well, we're all wrong when it comes to pronouncing it anyway, the proper japanese pronunciation of it is pretty much "matsuda" which is fitting, given as the company was founded by a guy named jujiro matsuda.
155hp from a 2.0 litre engine is NOT good. My Hyundai Elantra 2.0 makes 173Hp. The 2.5 mazda Skyactive only makes 185Hp. It's obvious that Mazda has choked some performance for the sake of better m/pg.
I'm a fan of motormouth canada but this i disagree. he said that on any other english speaking world follows the canadian way. Well it is not actually. Correct way is the american way , I believe
Nice car but even my '89 Mazda 626 was peppy enough. Americans are always right even if the Whole World say it differently they still Won't Change their ways.:'(
Well, the American pronunciation is closer to the Japanese, so you can't fault them for thinking so. On the other hand, the English language has infused so many sounds from other languages and cultures, that arguing about the sound of something is quite pointless.
"Mahz-duh" with the sharp "ah" like "cat" is less correct because the Japanese name of the company is "Matsuda" which has the soft "ah" like in "cot". So, Americans are at least slightly closer to the real pronunciation.
I just had a (hopefully) funny thought about how you should the pronunciation of "Mazda". You know how sometimes the mazda 3 is referred to as the "Mazda Mazda3"? You ought to try pronouncing the "Mazda"s differently in one video just to watch trolls heads explode, like call it the Maze-da Moz-da three or the Moz-da Maze-da three.
Well, the people who judged you based on a simple pronounciation difference don't really know that even the japanese "don't know" how to pronounce their car since it's "ma-tsu-da" or something similar.
I'm so sorry you get a lot of negative comments about the way you pronounce it. My apologies as I speak for all Americans. Unfortunately, many Americans forget that there is another world outside the U.S.
It's embarrassing really
I completely agree , Zach Spencer is one of the best and honest reviewers who ever graced the web . Respect . Iam a follower .
Actually, Americans pronounce the names of the Asian car manufacturers correctly. The rest of the English-speaking world (actually, it's mostly just the Brits) tend to make a mockery of Asian proper nouns.
Regardless, no one should grief Canadians about Mazda. Their pronunciation is pretty much on point, and Mazz-duh is like the secret handshake into the Canadian car subculture.
How do you get moz from maz?
Canada is in America...
Correct pronunciation is actually "Mat-zu-dah". So really, everyone outside of Japan is pronouncing it wrong. Not like anyone should care, though.
If people give you that much crap over "Mazda," I guess you can never ever review a Hyundai.
i didnt even notice the difference in pronouncation before u mention it lol, why do some people make it such a big deal
I'm not an idiot..
Im a Canadian and your review is for CANADIANS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
I disagree. This channel is for the whole world. I like watching his reviews and I am not Canadian but.. Latin American.

Now I think this car is being produced in Mexico so maybe we will have this car later.
Appreciate the PSA in the intro, some folks can be rude just of the pronunciation of words.
Some ppl are so rude. I really like the looks of this car. And if we look at a replacement for out civic at some point, we might look at this car. thanks for the review! We are Canadian!
Keep up the great reviews. Don't let the jerks get to you
i just brought one it will be my first cars
Don't mind those who try to diminish your knowledge and expertise , you are a hell of a reviewer and a very honest and charismatic individual . I love your work .... by the way , half of americans can't even point Canada in the map , that's how dumb and ignorant we are .

Great review as always. Thanks for all your hard work putting it together.
Honestly I actually love the Mazda 3 hatchbacks
I never realized Americans said it differently
Hilarious disclaimer and great video ma man
How dare they give you negative comments. You're saying Mazda correctly. Great reviews.
lmao at the disclaimer at the beginning. Right on dude you tell 'em!!
Thanks for the thorough review. I have watched and subscribed to your channel for quite some time and I have always felt it's really informative. Please keep it up. You're not an idiot FYI!
If you want an easy conversion from L/100km to mpg, use 235. just divide 235 by the 4.9 and you get 48 mpg highway.
i own a 2014 mazda gs, i love this car highly recommend it to anyone the quality of the interior is near bmw and the touch screen with the control nob is very useful, i recommend with the 6 speed manual it gets u the most out of the engine, the auto didnt feel like it had enough balls to me but the manual makes it fun when u want it to be

Zack another great review! Don't apologize, just keep doing your own thing!
I'm jealous. Everything is green already in Ontario. And it's still freaking snowing in Alberta)))).
Not true, here in toronto most trees havent grown leaves. Only thing green is the grass lol
First of all, great review and looking forward to the GT version review. Not right for people for giving you a hard time about how you and a lot of the the world say the word Mazda as you and recommend to just let it roll off of your back in the future.
FYI, the "Mazda goes Hmmmmmm" commercial is how we Americans, were introduced on how to pronounce "Mazda". Enjoy!

lol dat disclaimer
YOU GO ZAC!!! In every other english country they say it right, they say it wrong in america.
You mean in Japan where the brand is created they say it wrong? Because the American sound is closer to the Japanese sound. Same with Nissan, the English pronunciation of de-emphasizing the second half sounds farther from the original Japanese version.

zxbc You're exactly right.
There is actually a radio dial if you scroll all the way to the right at the bottom of the music screen to let you scroll through radio stations 😁
The radio function. That you were looking for is 3 buttons down from where u had it.. with the single arrow to the right... and it looks just like the bmw radio select.
Well said Zac! Love your reviews! Keep it up!
Sorry about the rude comments. Great video!
Spot on at the start, mate!
Only issue I have with this review, this is not a Mazda3 Sport. Your driving a much higher trim model...
Good job buddy, love your show! And people if don't like the way he review change channel!!!
Nice Review. Very balanced and thoughtful
I love your car reviews ! Keep it up !
Don't let the comments get to you... some people are very narrow minded and don't realize that in grammatically correct english "Mazda" is a proper noun and hence it can be pronounced the way you like.
It’s Mazda in US because it’s derived form name Matsuda. If you say mezde means original name would be metsude
I kind of want one now.
Another great review Zack.
I know that some Canadians consider we Americans to be a bit retarded, but if you want us to subscribe to and enjoy your videos, please translate liters per kilometer to miles per gallon.

GREAT review, and dude dont worry about what people call you, the "idiots" are the ones who point out the " right way" to say it. a mazda will be a mazda whether an asian or American says it.
6.8 Liters per 100kms? Did i heard it right?
Zac dont give a rat ass about those who criticize you, they are just trolls
Nice review, thorough and informative.
Hey Zack Spencer: THANK YOU SO MUCH for explaining to these idiots that you are correctly pronouncing the name 'MAZDA'. I read those comments from those other guys who bad mouth you and I wonder if their shoe size is larger than their I.Q. Again; THANKS !
I'm from new zealand I say it the way you do.
If only it came with AWD for our Canadian winters !!!
I got a FWD and I had no problem in winters since I had my car.
The Jetta is undoubtedly the best FWD winter compact car. It has a trick differential with an odd type of traction control which makes it feel 4wd.
Zack is completely right about little kids getting sick if they can't see out the rear windows. It feels very claustrophobic for them.
Motormouth Canada How's the road noise while driving over 50mph ?
Loud
why do you have 2015 in the header if it is a 2014
Nice review I'm thinking of getting one soon ..
It's a Japanese Car right? Which 'Mazda' sounds more accurate?
I didn't expect first 20 secs of video to go over these...;;
Awesome review by the way.
Jun Chang yes it is a japanese car! americans pronounce mazda exactly how its is said in japan.
On behalf of my people, I'd like to apologize. You are CLEARLY not an idiot. Great review! As if a single person on this thread could deliver a review with anything near your competency level.
Thanks for the great review!
I wish it came in MORE colors. There is a blue but not the nice blue that used to be available in the 07 models. I would love to have a Subaru blue, like the one available in the Subaru BRZ, now that would be wonderful !
Guess I'll just have to get a custom paint job.
Did you say that this car gets 6.8L/100km City and 4.9L/100km Hwy? I thought it was more like 8/100km Comined?
great review! keep up the good work.
On the title it says 2015 but you're talking in the video about a 2014 ?!? What year of car are you talking about ?
I'd much rather have this over a bland honda civic or Nissan Altima. So common
+Bcomes IKR same here brother! :D
Yo Zac, how much torque does that 2L make?
Cool, also you pronounced it perfectly!
4:00 6.8 L/100km City 4.9 L/100km Hwy = 35mpg City 48mpg Hwy
This don't seem right. Are cars more fuel efficient in Canada?
What's the conversion to french fries and gravy per 100km?
I think they're changing all ratings for 2015
you're hilarious with the intro :D....good review too :D
Things I didn't like was it rev's very high,Also you can't have a tire monitor system or even a Temp/Battery gauge.
Something I was shocked about,I didn't find the gauges in the screen settings.
I notice the Canadian version has the large center tachometer in the 2.0l version. Have to get the 2.5l for that in the USA. That's just stupid. That little digital tach we get on the left is a joke.
+turbo311 I was complaining about the same thing. Why the hell would Mazda do that to the USA version?
Is the drive more comfortable with the 16" alloy rims as opposed to the 18"?
+Glenn McKee In theory, yes. It should also be slightly more fuel efficient as well. In addition, tire costs should also be lower. Unless if you need the bling, I'd go with 16''
Sadly I sold my Mazda 3 Sedan GT (Sport Nav). The leather drivers chair wasn't comfortable enough for me, neither were the Alloy Rims, bump bump. Although I've osteoarthritis so needed a Volvo which feels complete luxury to me. Mazda don't have far to go to become 'Premium' but the shortfall is still too great to be premium. Lovely designs!
The windows in the back are a big downside.
Its true that if someone can't see out of the window when moving they get motion sickness. Dogs will sometimes get sick for the same reason.
Its probably a good safety feature... but not for comfort.
The new Mazda 3 is best for single people or couples with no kids.
What? Bullshit, what you do is you take your little snot nosed brats and PROP them up on the seats with a bit of cardboard or something then there's no visual acuity issue.
My dad owns a Mazda 3 2015. He has 5 kids.
There is infact the radio thing
You never need to explain yourself to idiots. It doesn't matter how you pronounce it, we know what you are talking about. Never direct what you say to trolls. You are only feeding them.
I loved your announcement at the beginning i was laughing so hard I was choking. Your say Mazda correct and the americans just say it differently.
tattoodrdoke americans say mazda exactly how japan pronounces it though.
It made me laugh too lol. I visited Vancouver and heard it pronounced that way in commercials and I had no idea they pronounced it differently up north.
@nicca23 actually in Japan it's not pronounced as "mahz-duh" they pronounce it in its full form which is "matsuda". Americans still pronounce it wrong by Japanese standards but it's still close to its original pronunciation.
awesome review!
God bless you sir we in 🇬🇧 say it and applaud you for saying it CORRECTLY 😂😂😂
Finally someone who pronounces Mazda properly
He's a whacky Aussie, that's why :p
Sorry to say but if you're referring to this dude then you couldn't be anymore wrong. In Japan (where the company originates) they pronounce it as "matsuda".
Actually the Japanese "a" sound is closer to the American way than the other English version.
This guy is amazing
Got 'em with that disclaimer. Lol
No u not an idiot there is an umloud as we they in Germany n it will sound different in different country the A keep doing your thing I luv the way Mazda looks not this hatch one but the other one
Good review !
Americans need to realize there are other countries in this world. And to not make fun of other people by how they pronounce things.
will you do review of Volvo cars also ?
here is some schooling: mazda is a japanese name, it should be pronounce in japanese. In japanese, ma is exactly the same as your "American way" of pronouncing. I am still your fan~ .
You're exactly right. I studied Japanese language for a year in university, and the Japanese pronunciation of "Mazda" (the correct pronunciation) is more akin to the American way of saying it than the way it is said in other English speaking countries.
So how would you pronounce Nikon?
MichaelAChang Knee Kon (rhymes with on)
Raymond Ngu Indeed it's Knee-Kon, but those of us in North America all say Ny-Kon, don't we? :-)
He's not on about how it's meant to be said, he is just clarifying that it is a Canadian review and that's how they pronounce it. Like he said, some unnecessary aggressive comments on his pronunciation from mainly Americans. Here in Australia we pronounce it the same as the Canadians and UK reviews pronounce it the same way too. Doesn't mean it's wrong. All countries have different accents and differing ways of pronouncing words.
Must be annoying to see the negative comments on here when all he's doing is talking in his native tongue
well, we're all wrong when it comes to pronouncing it anyway, the proper japanese pronunciation of it is pretty much "matsuda"
which is fitting, given as the company was founded by a guy named jujiro matsuda.
Said like a BOSS lolz
it's m-AH-z-dAH! IDIOT!
flawless review, well-articulated. great production.
That screen is touch screen too
155hp from a 2.0 litre engine is NOT good. My Hyundai Elantra 2.0 makes 173Hp. The 2.5 mazda Skyactive only makes 185Hp. It's obvious that Mazda has choked some performance for the sake of better m/pg.
OMG 20 HP LESS WERE GONNA DIE
I'm sure they say it right in Minnesota eh
I'm a fan of motormouth canada but this i disagree. he said that on any other english speaking world follows the canadian way. Well it is not actually. Correct way is the american way , I believe
Mazda in Japan is pronounced Matsuda (name of the founder). The Japanese "a" is prounounced "ah" not "aw".
Willilly Bab i forgive your ignorance and arrogance but you are dead wrong hahahaha. remember it!
Nice car but even my '89 Mazda 626 was peppy enough. Americans are always right even if the Whole World say it differently they still Won't Change their ways.:'(
Well, the American pronunciation is closer to the Japanese, so you can't fault them for thinking so. On the other hand, the English language has infused so many sounds from other languages and cultures, that arguing about the sound of something is quite pointless.
You are correct. Marsda, doesn't work 😳
"Mahz-duh" with the sharp "ah" like "cat" is less correct because the Japanese name of the company is "Matsuda" which has the soft "ah" like in "cot". So, Americans are at least slightly closer to the real pronunciation.
I really dislike the dashboard. It's not up to par with other compact cars like the Civic.
its better than the civics of the same year, design and material wise. But the 2016 civic offers competition at least.
As I know, 1.6 billion people pronounce Mazda as American do. it would be nice to respect original Japanese pronunciation as possible.
Cause that's why Americans pronounce it that way...out of respect for other countries and cultures. Lol
I just had a (hopefully) funny thought about how you should the pronunciation of "Mazda". You know how sometimes the mazda 3 is referred to as the "Mazda Mazda3"? You ought to try pronouncing the "Mazda"s differently in one video just to watch trolls heads explode, like call it the Maze-da Moz-da three or the Moz-da Maze-da three.
Well, the people who judged you based on a simple pronounciation difference don't really know that even the japanese "don't know" how to pronounce their car since it's "ma-tsu-da" or something similar.
I didn't even get the different pronounciation xD
(yes, I'm not from an english-speaking country u.u)
