February 2015 - The 2015 2.5L Mazda3 GT Test Drive! I scared Camera Woman Debi Davis with some of my acceleration moves. I love that this car is a 4 ...
omg... I kept waiting for you guys to crank up some Bohemian Rhapsody and
start head-banging!
i may be a little car-sick mama +Mia Voss
HI +Debi Davis!!! :-)
NIce +Mia Voss , +Debi Davis I bought the 2014 but mine has the automatic.
No guts off the line with the 6 speed transmission but I get a true 36.7
mpg. And I'm no "egg between my foot and the peddle" driver. Corners like
it is on rails.
I'm always thrilled when I get to hangout with +Mia Voss, but the Mazda test drive was a little more thrilling than usual.I just jumped over to the +Mazda USA page and saw the 2016 MX-5 Miata – that looks like it's begging for a test drive, too! //goo.gl/W2bKTx
I always feel a little like a #badass when I'm driving "a stick." I learned from my father when I bought my first car at the age of 18 – a fond and funny memory!
wooHOO, thanks +MazdaMovement - I think so too - manual transmission is a lost art. I swear, that car had some get up and GO - and with that kinda gas mileage?! #Winning
That is fantastic +Mia Voss. So you were driving a 2.5L Mazda3 GT. There is no "Green Button" because #Mazda #SKYACTIV technology already gives you fantastic gas mileage which is rated around 38-40mpg on that particular model on the highway. It's also great to see you drive a manual transmission since it's become a lost art. #winningGlad you filmed this review.
BMW is tons of problems on 4 wheels if u r working in auto mechanic shop we
do recomend to buy BMW=Big Money Wasted look only some of the bmw problems:
1)watch?v=B3YQg_cJXL4 2)watch?v=EPfKTMSnQAU
3)watch?v=n6WJEAYpIZM&feature=related 4)watch?v=XhwWTX_8EwU&feature=related
5)watch?v=xLs7WGgTbAg&feature=related 6)watch?v=fQCvvnVDQIo
7)watch?v=58SoI7YKr4o&feature=related So before buying rubbish quality BMW
first go and ask independent BMW service sop mechnics
The side AIRBAGs between rav4 2007 side crash and this is different i
think. I like the side AIRBAG on rav4, because its much better and crushed
glasses ar not coming in the side crash test as this bmw. I also like the
torso AIRBAG on honda CRV. And a lots of others car. Sorry about my bad
english!
@215alessio you pathetic, also Alfa Romeo makes beautiful cars, yes they
all break down but they still beautiful, AND we do not have Alfa in US or
even canada, or even all of North america or even south america so save
yourself the pain of talking
@yelzhan123 JD Powers? You brought one argument. I'll bring two: fleet cars
(UK) and ADAC breakdown statistics both of which confirm BMW top
reliability. Then, if BMWs were unreliable people wouldn't buy it (more
than mercedes-benz or audi).
1) kpbrigade: its a crashtest, the passenger airbags wont open because that
would interfere with the cameras from passenger side.
2) Alessio S. My brother drives the 159 2.4 jdts, and a friend the 535d
2009. Allways Bmw, allways.
@BabkenBMW crazy, guess u r look from the buttom of the list , look JD
Powers IQS-initial quality study BMW was is and will be below industry
average Let me repeat again BELOW industry average
@hazemvirus mistook typing "Alfa" and you where do you live? Germany or
USA? It seems tha Munich is in Germany Or do I have to say New Turchia,
since your country is full of them
@Annihilator1111 Its built in Germany. Those other locations are BMW
certified to turn the cars into armored vehicles. Notice there is one on
almost every continent.
BMW 5 Series is the clear leader in its market segment. It's simply the
best. And it's also one of the safest cars. This separate test can't mean
something wrong.
the 2003-2010 BMW 5 Series was assembled in Dingolfing, Germany Rayong,
Thailand Toluca, Mexico 6th of October City, Egypt Shenyang, China
Kaliningrad, Russia
BMW is safer then most cars i tell you. i had 320i e46 and i drived into a
suzuki alto there was not much left of the suzuki xD and i only had broken
arm xD
@appelseed101 personally, im going to have to disagree with you on that
one, having just got rid of mine after owning it from brad new for 7
months, mine was a 1.4 litre petrol, and from a full tank of petrol, i got
less than 230 miles which in all honesty, is pretty poor. then i have had
to for out over £500 just on new tyres as they were keep getting punctures,
possibly due to the abysmal state the roads are in over in britain. just
chanded to a bmw 3 series and can honestly say its amazing :)
Unfortunately most people drive cars & thats the problem! Vans & lorries
have work to do. Cars just aimlessly clog up our roads to go Xmas shopping
at Asda or Ikea. I have to sit there in traffic behind dozy old men & women
getting later & later with my deliveries because they choose to wonder
round in cars aimlessly polluting the air. It really really angers me when
aimless car drivers clog up the local shortcuts used by Taxi drivers & Vans
only to arrive at Tesco! drives me insane that does!
Boooo all you like but a vehicle that weighs 3.5T (heavier than a RR) like
my old LWB 411 Mercedes Sprinter vs a 1.5T Golf that is less than half the
weight, can do some serious damage to it & the driver weather its got
5-stars or 2. It certainly taught the idiot in the 2009 Golf a harsh lesson
about trying to barge something that is larger than a car off the road
turns vice versa. Oh he had to pay for my damage & he has to appear in
court facing charges on the crash as it was all his fault.
You got the story wrong you plank... Read properly or is it that you Fiesta
lovers can't read because you are that dumb enough to buy a shitty Ford.
Someone tried to race me in a white TI-VCT Ford Siesta Zetec-S 4 months ago
& he lost miserably. Someone last week, tried to race me in a Ti-VCT
charcoal black colour Fiesta Zetec-S & got left standing because I have
spotlessly cleaned my EGR valve out & added a 200Bhp remap to my car. You
see, Fords 1.6 Ti-VCT can't even beat a stock Diesel!
...Or a large van @ 2.5/3.5T like a Mercedes Sprinter or a Renault Master.
Its not just Range Rover 4x4's that kill everyone else. Large Vans can do
just as much damage if not more to a car than a 4x4 can. I had a large 411
Mercedes Sprinter for multidrops & I hit a brand new 09 VW Golf with it on
the motorway. I was fine while his car was written off & he was taken to
hospital in a critical condition... I was absolutely fine & so was the old
Van. So much for 5-stars & curtain airbags.
yo fear946... how is 29 mpg city and over 40 highway sucking down lots of
petrol? a fucking prius struggles to get that if it wants to even remotely
keep up with traffic. diesel models are slow as hell for the most part even
tho they do get better gas mileage. and by the way it wasnt built for the
american market first, it was built for the european markets
first...therefore they built them to their standards not regular cheap
standards...learn ur shit before you speak up man
hmmm 5-stars doesn't mean its a totally safe car, Ive already seen a black
2008 Fiesta with an engine fire in hedge end. It was next to Jessops and
the girl who had it was crying her eyes out! I wanted to stop to video the
whole thing to show on here but they blocked off the A334 going towards the
M27 and I couldn't stop anywhere to film it! shame, it would have been
great footage to show to people who think Fords are the safest cars ever
made!
@streesmut70 That's still something remarkable. Mercosur cars lack dual
airbags and ABS. They will be mandatory for 2014. It would be nice to get a
Thai Fiesta over here, because with that equipment it should be a bit less
expensive, and thus Ford might sell a bit more (a Fiesta Titanium's MSRP is
of 20,000 dollars here). What I would like to know is if the quality of the
materials used in the assembly is as good as the Mexican/European models.
@pef286 Well, I live in Argentina, and we receive the US-spec Fiesta as
well, but with only one equipment option: Titanium, which has 7 airbags,
ABS, and many driving aids but I think it lacks ESP. I'm sure the results
must be similar, maybe better on a frontal collision, since the front
bumpers are larger and probably better shock-absorbing (Due to that the
European Fiesta is under 4 meters long, while the US Fiesta is over 4
meters long)
@appelseed101 To be fair, isn't that what manufacturer's are catering to?
The superficial people? I think if we only cared for the utilitarian aspect
of things there wouldn't be so much emphasis on introducing new models
every few years. Along with the technology, we also want a refreshed
styling. I put about as much attention to the looks as I do the other
aspects of the car but at least we can agree the car does present a value
package.
@dahgutone no this car is different. the only fiesta going to america is
the 2011 version, which has fords new ips system and it has 7 airbags
including a knee airbag, so if the dash comes back, your knees wont get
squished, also this cant really happen anyway, as ford have made higher and
stronger chasis members so that it would match the same chasis mambers or
come more close to it, so the 4x4s wont override the car
I had BOTH you great tit! Vans are far more useful than cars & its probably
far too big in size for a woman like you to handle so maybe its best you
stick to 4-wheeled ants. You would climb up the cab of a Mercedes Sprinter
& shit yourself " Oh Its too high & Its too wide please carry me back down
dad" It wrecked a brand new Golf & injured the child driving it so I'm all
in favour of size.
Wow, just read some of the dickhead comments on here! You guy's really are
intelligent and mature eh? And a fact you may not want to know, it's still
a fact that ANY big four by four of road car (Think Range Rover) can easily
kill you if you are in ANY other car that is NOT a four by four. So why
worry about safety? The safest thing you can do is not drive like a cunt.
funny you should say that! I am a car designer!!! seriously. I know better
than to design awful cars like that! Its not a very good comeback, Ford
owners are retards who chuck money away willingly and beleive Fords feel
the difference adverts... well actually its propaganda! and while they are
brainwashed, they end up buying these First on rubbish dumps!
Oh god! don't say that. Its against the law. Fords another form of Ferrari
you know. You shouldn't mock them they CAN build cars & they CAN make
engines. Hold on? no they never... Mazda makes the Zetec & duratec Volvo
made the 2.5T, PSA made the TDCi & still do. What does Ford do? rake in the
cash & sell piles of overpriced crap to mugs that buy them.
@streesmut70 For me 2 airbags, ESP and ABS would make for a base model
here, and it would sell like hotcakes if correctly priced. We get the
US-spec design, built in Mexico, with the full equipment, and it's the only
version available here. As for the Fiesta Sedan, now there are two
equipment levels, which are similar to the Titanium one.
I have got no-problem with the female orientated design concept of a 2009
Fiesta... however, I do have a problem with men being attracted to this
car! men can't seem to see what people think of them when they drive it! do
they look at me because I look attractive in it? or, do they look at me to
see if ive got a boyfriend sat with me?
@JackBandicootsBunker 1) I'm in Thailand , I have a Ford assembly are
assem. Fiesta and export to ASEAN , Australia and South Africa but for Thai
version are get only dual Airbag,ABS but I have ESP standard in 1.6L engine
(in my country are have 1.4L version) 2) Fiesta for European market
available only 3 or 5 door hatch
... well who would be stupid enough to try to overtake a 1.9TDi Seat Leon
FR at a set of lights when they have a 1.6 16V sport? A stupid spoilt kid
in an 09 Fiesta might? Only he got his but kicked by a t/diesel FR not
once, not twice, but everytime he tried to pass me he was choking on my
Diesel smoke
Thats correct yes, It doesn't mean its unbreakable! But this wasn't the
only supermini to get 5-stars in its class. So did the Seat Ibiza and
others. Ford only copied the Punto Grande and fussed about with the looks,
nothing to worship it about! Its a frickin Curvey-Girly looking piece of
shit!
lol there's something wrong with you! :) (not saying the ford is rubbish
but) it has much worse build quality, not as refined, and doesn't ride as
smoothly. plus, if you're rich enough to afford a rolls royce, buying
petrol wouldn't even be a kink in your budget! :)
its a car......a machine...... it gets you from A to B safely, its great on
gas...and quality built.....both men and women can appreciate that...
sounds like too many of you are hung up on how you would look behind the
wheel.....and not the actual purpose of a car
With or without curtains, you still have a side bolster airbag that is tall
enough to cover the head, it's only back seat passengers that won't have an
airbag, hence why it was an option, as most Fiestas are only occupied with
1 or 2 people most of the time.

Japanese are/were building for decades, economical, comfortable, safe city
cars. Somehow Americans are getting a crapy european city car called
smartfor two. And whoever critcise it, is called dumb american who doesn't
know about city cars. Guess what, smartfor two is a crapy, uncomfortable,
expensive, unpractical car. There are far better small cars. Mazda,
Toyyota, Honda, Nissan have cheaper, more practical, economical city cars.
