These are my observations after just 1 week with it. I’d love to hear what you think, especially if you own one. See the full review here: th-cam.com/video/QpWAluF3qn8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, I appreciate it! I think I’m going to continue the 5 likes/dislikes or pros and cons on each press Car I get...see how it goes! Mitsubishi video coming next
I really wish they'd bring back the Mazdaspeed engine as an option. As fun as the 2.5 with 186 horses is fun. You throw in over 260 horses in the same car, night and day. Although I have a 2018 touring sedan manual, which I love. I'll never get rid of my Mazdaspeed 3 or my Mazdaspeed Miata. The horsepower difference is just to great to turn away from. Thanks!
@@PrimeAutotainment any known issues like Toyota, burning oil? And Honda civic, notorious AC system that's expected to give way sooner that a class action suit was initiated. I would like an informed decision on this.
It's my first car but I got in an accident and was given a yaris as a loaner while the repairs take place. I loved my 3 from the start but driving that yaris makes me appreciate the 3 even more.
I have your same model but in white. I love the white interior so much! I agree with all your likes as well! As for the backseats, I agree but my friends don't make such a big deal about it and it seems okay if everyone is under 6'0. I will say, there's an option where you can see your current MPGs, range till empty, and current mpg on the trip, all you have to do is push the button in that's located right to the left on the steering wheel. I hope that helps.
Thanks Jess! Glad to hear it. I wish I didn’t complain about the backseat cuz it’s really just fine for the size of car but there’s really not much I don’t like about it lol. I appreciate the info and thanks for watching!
Honestly a cooling steering wheel is probably more useful than a heated one. You can touch a cold steering wheel but have y’all tried touching one during 105 degree weather....
Awesome video! You did an incredible job portraying what you like and dislike about the 2018 Mazda3. From one car reviewer to another, keep up the great work! You definitely have yourself a new subscriber!
I have a Mazda 3 in solo red it only 6 months old. I am finding a lot of little chips the paint is striped down to silver on the bonnet of my car. I live in an area with good roads not at all dirt roads. I think the paint quality is very bad and very thin. I am not happy about this what can I do about this issue?
I just spoke with Mazda and they checked several features you brought up. The first one was the flip up window showing your speed and you showed it also showing a sto sign. Mazda checked and the unit only shows speed, which is what I see as well. The second feature you mentioned was a heated steering wheel and Mazda said this is not available. I have the high-end touring model that you showed in your video and I bought it fully loaded and it did not include the heated steering wheel. heated seats, yes.. Just thought I would pass this information on!
My parents got a 2005 Mazda 3 brand new off the showroom floor with 11 miles on it. Loved it every minute and would still be driving it today if a drunk driver didnt hit them head on 2 years ago (they are fine and walked away with just minor bumps and bruises), totaling it. They bought a 2013 ford escape on a whim because they needed a car asap after the accident. Had problems after problems with it. Today, they finally bit the bullet and traded off the pos Escape and got a 2018 Mazda 3 and couldnt be happier. Zoom Zoom.
Please, please tell me you've driven that car with a manual transmission? A Mazda is a completely different animal when driving stick vs. Automatic. If you enjoyed the drive with your auto, wait til u drive with a stick. You'll never go back. All my Mazdas are stick. 3 and counting! Enjoyed the video, thanks!
You can control the volume on the steering wheel, so the bottle in the holder isn't an issue. The big issue, as I see it, is the lack of a memory seat. They had that in 2010. Other than that, nice review.
I believe the center armrest should extend and elevate. Also, there is no dead pedal pad. Thats about it. Regardless, it is an outstanding car for the price. An AWD Speed3 version would be legendary
dude! no remote start is a huge plus! even better if it doesn't have push to start, these two things are superfluous to convenience (like if inserting a key where ever hard!) and just makes a car so much more easier to steal. It not having remote start alone makes me want to buy this car
Just bought a 2016 VW Jetta and the Apple CarPlay works great. Plus the screen is built into the dash, not sticking up. I do like Mazda3 but they fell behind in technology..Now they want $450 to upgrade at 2016-2017.
German cars are a money pit later in life because of silly engineering decisions like housing the timing chain so you have to take the whole engine apart to replace it. They actually wear out too because there made poorly. Go figure!
Of course, it's your channel/video and your personal likes/dislikes, but I'll admit being slightly annoyed by your having many choices assuming a higher-than-base trim level. For myself personally, of course I'd prefer the Touring came with the self-adjusting LEDS, but I've driven for years without them, so not a deal-breaker. The cupholder placement issue is spot-on- my previous 2013 wasn't perfect, but it was much easier to manage beverages, passengers, and deal with adjusting audio at the same time. The reasons I've replaced my first '04 Mazda 3 with another one twice is how relatively sturdy, safe, and just plain enjoyable to drive they are for the money you spend... that little 2.0 was a great friend while crossing the US twice, even if some of the mountain winds in AZ were trying to push me around a bit. Yes, they're a bit noisy, yes, the suspension isn't meant for napping infants, and wheelspin and floppy seatbelts blocking the door were constant companions... but filling the tank was cheap, I was able to change the pads myself (alas, no more) when needed, and otherwise, no worries. Now with the 2018, wheelspin is gone, the seatbelts don't suffer from CFS, steering is still marvelous, noise and general fit and finish are far better, I've finally got a 2.5 under the hood, and it looks fast sitting still. Life is good!
Hikmat Ullah yes for sure. I was surprised by headroom, but since both backseat and trunk are on smaller side, it’s disappointing. You’d think they could squeeze a little more out of each of them, the hood takes up half the car lol. Thanks for the input!!
I bought my wife a 2018 Mazda 3. My company provides me with a Merc GLC but I still like to take the Mazda any chance I get. What I don't like? Having to spay water dispersant into the door mirrors to get them working again after washing.
I have a 18 Mazda 3 GT and thankfully I do have apple car play and everything showed here but man the fact that it has no remote start just sucks in the winter
Love how it looks I have the base model so I have only ONE major complaint.. and that's the instrument cluster it's REALLY limited in what it shows:/ all I get to see is speed, kms on the meter and fuel level.. doesn't even show the temperature of the engine or fuel economy -_-
As far as sedans go, Mazdas are pretty dope actually. Something different for American audiences, but I’ve always found Mazda to feel just a little extra. Mazdas feel solid, feel like there’s quality to it. Even just how the buttons and knobs feel. Feels solid. My biggest criticism with Mazda here is actually their electronic system. Their display has always been IMO horrendously ugly. And I hear the guy in the video say it doesn’t really work with Apple. Or car play at least. I have this in my ford, and I don’t know who’s more to blame, ford or Apple, but the user experience is atrocious. I wish somehow ford would essentially just allow you to use their entire display as a giant iPhone display. It’s always been super clunky and glitchy. Many apps freeze, won’t load, don’t have a version for auto, and glitches like if you take a screenshot while pluggged in, iPhone takes 2 pics. I think Apple fixed this but seems to have come back. The whole integration between phones and cars seems to be kinda hard to do. Suppose there’s a plethora of legal issues too. If you crash with phone plugged in, is that ford or Apple to get sued. I guess I can see why it’s basically up to the auto company to make phones work in their car, not then other way around.
i just bought this car and why does it not have the backup camera? i have the sensor only when i reverse and also my fuel symbol has the 0-1 instead of the Empty-Full
I felt like the ride was ok...but yeah it’s not soft that’s for sure. I think the good handling is one trade off for that. For road noise...that too wasn’t great but I didn’t think it was too bad. I can’t remember if it was for 2017 or 2018 but Mazda said they did some changes to try to reduce NVH...but it still needs some. I was recently in a CX-9 and that thing was pretty darn quiet so I know they’re capable of it. Sorry about your car!
@@PrimeAutotainment Ok, I guess if you like somewhere with smooth roads like a big city then it would be acceptable but where I live our roads aren't the greatest.
Yes they have pretty bad road noise, but this can be minimized by a different tire selection. Those Bridgestones were terrible it came with. 2019 they addressed the outside noise with better door sealing.
I just purchased a 2018 Grand Touring today, $22,000 with a measly 9,000 miles-guaranteed someone would've hoped on it had I not the moment I saw it on Carvana too.. I spent about a month of research to get a decent car *till I can one day afford a GMC Denali or Toyota Tundra* and this thing beat out all the other cars I looked at *in my price range* No idea why they're *relatively* cheap, they're made with great quality and are some of the most reliable cars from the Asia, some people have put over 350k miles on them with regular maintenance too.
Very great car on smooth roads. I think some drivers trail behind me just to watch it move. However, very noisy on rough road. Everyone looking to see who's driving that noisy car...I think 😁
... pilot here very alike Captain America (Chris Evans ) ... getting serious : Mazda is a very appreciated brand in my country Colombia ... almost premium considered ... : trunk & backseat small space is too tight ... ¿ what it is what you call no remote start ?
Mazda is gaining more respect here in the U.S. as well which is good to see because they deserve it. WIth this car remote start didn't come standard unless you paid extra as an accessory, i think, which was a bummer to me.
It’s when you can start the car with your key fob or your phone. It’s convenient if it’s really hot or really cold. You can start it from inside your home or a building without going to the car, then it will run the A/C or heat so it’s more comfortable and defrosted when you get in. I’m assuming in Columbia it doesn’t get very cold or icy right? Lol
@@PrimeAutotainment ... a yeah ... now I get it ... and yes we do not have that weather conditions ... also no heated sitting ... only standard air conditioned ... which used to be a luxury ... thanks a lot !
Im about to get one my self but my only thing about it is that no vented seats no standard car play / android auto and the back seats could also have the heated option all three of these features are in the mazda 6 but not the three and the bs part is that you cant have those options if you want the hatchback. Pretty dumb they could of made it a trim
I believe Mazda began standardizing Apple Carplay/Android Auto during the time they released the Mazda6s and AFTER they released the 2018 Mazda3s which is why they’re not included in any trim unless you get it upgraded. It’s unfortunate because this is probably my favorite year of the Mazda3s but I’m not willing to shell out $499+ for Mazda to get that installed lol
Some call it Mazda 3 Sport, Others call it Mazda 3 Hatchback. WTF. I just took a test drive at the local dealer and I can tell you it's pretty much like driving my current Hyundai Elantra. I just found a few things I didn't like about Mazda 3 Hatchback. Switching from Trip A to Trip B and back to total miles is controlled by a cheap looking skinny plastic knob, almost a size of a toothpick. Has any Mazda owner broke it yet? Also, all those buttons in horizontal position placed next to a coffee cup, that's just a diseaster waiting ahead. Any feedback on that from Mazda owners? I have a chance to get 2018 Mazda3 hatch with 3000 miles, for $17 000 OTD, is this a good deal?
The sport is a trim level, there’s the sedan and the Hatchback. So there could be a Mazda3 Sport Sedan or a Mazda3 Sport Hatchback and they are different vehicles. Good point On the toothpick thing...I agree on it. That seems like a good deal..but do you know which trim level it is? Sport, touring, or grand touring?
So I’ve heard for sure that you’ll be able to retroactively add CarPlay to existing Mazda6 models..since that’s the first vehicle that will offer it, but haven’t heard anything on the 3 yet. I would HOPE so since they all use the same system but can’t say for sure. Might only be available for 2019 Mazda3...
why can't the driver just move their seat so the passenger in the back get more leg room? just saying that's not something to dislike,.want me room get the Mazda 6.
I know..there’s really hardly anything I actually dislike about the car..but naming 5 things that would be one. Just comparing to other cars. The back seat was better than the trunk space. But yeah..Mazda 6 is plenty spacious. Thanks for the input!
#1 dislike (there is now a mandatory upgrade from the dealers to Install) #2 ok..so put the bottles in the door pocket #3 Who needs to see all that info at all times? #4 Buy the hatchback. It looks better. #5 Are we that lazy that we can't start the engine the usual way? Or do you you need your toes warm? Start engine, wait 15sec, drive.
I've had this car now for approx 3 years... I've had mazda cars since 2006,ive found the more modern they get with design and tech the moor floored they become!.. Sorry mazda I'll be leaving you soon, currently have the Mazda 3 fastback 2018 sport nav, and found that there's more dislikes than likes with mine.
Could you elaborate? Everything I've read has been overwhelmingly positive, the Mazda I recently rented on vacation solidified me buying this one *2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring w 9k miles, clean history too* as I need a new car but don't got the jelly for a Toyota Tundra just yet.
@@CommanderLongJohn hello John i am just purchasing a used mazda 2018 (inflation hits hard😢) and i would like to know your thoughts about the car Like is there any possible big mechanical issues with it or it is overall fine
@eliasabihaidar3050 Back when I got it, had 9k miles it was virtually a brand spanking new car, haven't had a single problem with it whatsoever and got almost 30k miles on it. Asian made and Mazda is a great company, so if the one you're getting is low(er) mileage with a clean history the only problems you should have with it are any that you'd create.
The five complaints were painfully pedestrian. I can think of both five good and bad ‘original and well thought out’ points… and I haven’t even driven the car!
Guy pays 20K for a compact car. Guy complains about space in back seat and trunk and “no remote start.” Ummm...pay 20k more and you can get those things. 🤬🤷🏾♂️
Lol it’s not mine, was just for review. And the things I complained about are on competitors cars - Including the more back seat and trunk space for the same size of car. I’m not hating on it, just pointing things out. There were things I like about it to ya know lol
@@PrimeAutotainment lol ok. I do have a Mazda 6 so I know how it drives but a bit bigger. I like watching car reviews so I came across this video. Yeah, it’s true that it’s a bit more snug than civic but everything else make up for it. I also think remote start is silly anyway. It already has push button start. Nice review though 👍🏾

@@CommanderLongJohn how much
I've had my Mazda 3 for almost two years now and driving it is absolutely phenomenal! Excellent steering and it looks absolutely sexy.
Great to hear 😁👍

@@PrimeAutotainment any known issues like Toyota, burning oil? And Honda civic, notorious AC system that's expected to give way sooner that a class action suit was initiated.

I know this is an old video. But still wanted to say thanks for your 2018 Mazda gt reviews. I was debating about getting this used and this helped
Thank you, I appreciate hearing that!
Honestly a cooling steering wheel is probably more useful than a heated one. You can touch a cold steering wheel but have y’all tried touching one during 105 degree weather....
That would definitely be nice too. I hear ya...hot potato
Prefer both actually ... Have you touch a cold steering wheel when it's so cold outside you feel like your hand are going to drop?
Haha I agree
Cooled steering wheel?! Lol, does that even exist?!
It’s always cold where I live so I wouldn’t use it

@@PrimeAutotainment I used to work in small city in Georgia, Tiffton.
Very nice!
does it touch unlock?
It’s not a touch sensor but a little button on the door handle
Im about to get one my self but my only thing about it is that no vented seats no standard car play / android auto and the back seats could also have the heated option all three of these features are in the mazda 6 but not the three and the bs part is that you cant have those options if you want the hatchback. Pretty dumb they could of made it a trim
I believe Mazda began standardizing Apple Carplay/Android Auto during the time they released the Mazda6s and AFTER they released the 2018 Mazda3s which is why they’re not included in any trim unless you get it upgraded. It’s unfortunate because this is probably my favorite year of the Mazda3s but I’m not willing to shell out $499+ for Mazda to get that installed lol
Some call it Mazda 3 Sport, Others call it Mazda 3 Hatchback. WTF.
I just took a test drive at the local dealer and I can tell you it's pretty much like driving my current Hyundai Elantra. I just found a few things I didn't like about Mazda 3 Hatchback. Switching from Trip A to Trip B and back to total miles is controlled by a cheap looking skinny plastic knob, almost a size of a toothpick. Has any Mazda owner broke it yet?
Also, all those buttons in horizontal position placed next to a coffee cup, that's just a diseaster waiting ahead. Any feedback on that from Mazda owners? I have a chance to get 2018 Mazda3 hatch with 3000 miles, for $17 000 OTD, is this a good deal?
The sport is a trim level, there’s the sedan and the Hatchback. So there could be a Mazda3 Sport Sedan or a Mazda3 Sport Hatchback and they are different vehicles.
Good point On the toothpick thing...I agree on it.
That seems like a good deal..but do you know which trim level it is? Sport, touring, or grand touring?
Which trim level is the vehicle?
This one is the Grand Touring
That’s a good deal
Do you think you will be able to upgrade Apple Car Play on 2018 Mazda 3 when it comes out or is it only going to be on a newer model car only?
So I’ve heard for sure that you’ll be able to retroactively add CarPlay to existing Mazda6 models..since that’s the first vehicle that will offer it, but haven’t heard anything on the 3 yet. I would HOPE so since they all use the same system but can’t say for sure. Might only be available for 2019 Mazda3...
Thank you for the quick reply. Lets see. It would be great but I still love my 2018 Mazda3 so far. God bless
You’re welcome! Glad to hear you love your 3..hopefully you can get Carplay added 👍. Take care
My sales person told me my model will get it once it is released. I guess they will update the software?
That will be great if thats true. Lets see. Hope its just software and not firmware or changing the console.
Based on other reviews, the Mazda 3 has more trunk space than the Corolla....
The Corolla has a little more for the sedan..but the Mazda3 has more for the hatchbacks
I see real ethics
why can't the driver just move their seat so the passenger in the back get more leg room? just saying that's not something to dislike,.want me room get the Mazda 6.
I know..there’s really hardly anything I actually dislike about the car..but naming 5 things that would be one. Just comparing to other cars. The back seat was better than the trunk space. But yeah..Mazda 6 is plenty spacious. Thanks for the input!
Like the styling and handling but the interior isn't modernized (too damn old) plus space is too tight.
Yeah it could use some changes. I agree with ya! Thanks for watching!
#1 dislike (there is now a mandatory upgrade from the dealers to Install)
#2 ok..so put the bottles in the door pocket
#3 Who needs to see all that info at all times?
#4 Buy the hatchback. It looks better.
#5 Are we that lazy that we can't start the engine the usual way? Or do you you need your toes warm? Start engine, wait 15sec, drive.
The power windows are shit. Other than that, the hatch is fine
Like for you... 😅👍🏽✌🏽
I wish I could have gotten this car. The interior was just way to out of date compared to other cars like the new Jetta.
joeylantis22 the new Jetta interior definitely gives you a Premium feel!
@@PrimeAutotainment the 2018 Jetta Screen is smaller than my iPhone 3G lmao dafuq!
I've had this car now for approx 3 years... I've had mazda cars since 2006,ive found the more modern they get with design and tech the moor floored they become!.. Sorry mazda I'll be leaving you soon, currently have the Mazda 3 fastback 2018 sport nav, and found that there's more dislikes than likes with mine.
Could you elaborate? Everything I've read has been overwhelmingly positive, the Mazda I recently rented on vacation solidified me buying this one *2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring w 9k miles, clean history too* as I need a new car but don't got the jelly for a Toyota Tundra just yet.
@@CommanderLongJohn hello John i am just purchasing a used mazda 2018 (inflation hits hard😢) and i would like to know your thoughts about the car
Like is there any possible big mechanical issues with it or it is overall fine
@eliasabihaidar3050 Back when I got it, had 9k miles it was virtually a brand spanking new car, haven't had a single problem with it whatsoever and got almost 30k miles on it. Asian made and Mazda is a great company, so if the one you're getting is low(er) mileage with a clean history the only problems you should have with it are any that you'd create.
The five complaints were painfully pedestrian. I can think of both five good and bad ‘original and well thought out’ points… and I haven’t even driven the car!
Lay em out..or make a video and send it. I’d love to see it
Road noise?? How bad or good??
It’s definitely not quiet...but it wasn’t that bad IMO. I’ve heard others complain about it but I didn’t find it that annoying
Sold mine because of it
Guy pays 20K for a compact car. Guy complains about space in back seat and trunk and “no remote start.” Ummm...pay 20k more and you can get those things. 🤬🤷🏾♂️
Lol it’s not mine, was just for review.
And the things I complained about are on competitors cars - Including the more back seat and trunk space for the same size of car. I’m not hating on it, just pointing things out. There were things I like about it to ya know lol
@@PrimeAutotainment lol ok. I do have a Mazda 6 so I know how it drives but a bit bigger. I like watching car reviews so I came across this video. Yeah, it’s true that it’s a bit more snug than civic but everything else make up for it. I also think remote start is silly anyway. It already has push button start. Nice review though 👍🏾
@@stefanossmitty3318 the 6 is great! You’ve got yourself a nice ride. Thanks for stopping by and hope you continue to enjoy your Mazda6!
@@PrimeAutotainment thank you!
how much does it cost?
The one here was $27k, they start out at $18-19k
I hate "Istop"
You do have apple car play plug it in for fuck sake I have the same vehicle
Lol...NOW they have CarPlay...not this spring when I had the car
Dislikes: 1. You dress like a high schooler
2. You try too hard
3. You stutter
4. Your hand movements
5. Your boring voice
Garrett Hatcher I agree with you on the hand movements. My bad. Otherwise, who cares.
Get your life together, man.
What a fukin knob lmao
@@PrimeAutotainment pay no attention to the haters. You're doing a pretty good job. Keep it up mate!
What is your problem? Why do you feel the need to insult people?
