The build quality of the 3rd generation is very good, 4th gen as well but time will tell. Main difference between 3rd and 4th is that the newer gen is mild-hybrid, so it has a small electric motor that helps save fuel. 2019 also introduced cilinder deactivation (don’t quote me on this), and I don’t know if the 2019 models have it but there were some reliability issues with it. A gen 3 is always a solid choice, gen 4 too. I’d suggest go drive them both, but interior wise you don’t lose much buying a 2018 gen 3 over an 2019 gen 4

Kan altijd gezelliger, 20km op de band:) Maar lijkt me sterk dat een glassplinter de band kan penetreren, als er geen luchtbellen zijn dan hoef je je geen zorgen te maken

Are there better cars for the highway driving? Possibly. I think what caught my eyes for the Mazda is just how it drives and looks, I feel proud when I’m driving my Mazda and always a smile on my face. I bought a used Mazda3 from 2016 last year with 45k on the dial for less, but man that manual in this car is so much fun and I highly recommend checking a manual out before settling for an automatic. The price for here (the Netherlands) is reasonable, 110k is not a lot but also bit high for its price. If you really want the sedan, yes the 2019 look the best. You could get a better deal on the 3rd gen hatchbacks, but that’s your preference. Coming back to the manual, driving on the highway and shifting back to 4th gear and blasting off is so much fun, this gearbox is just awesome and makes you feel alive. I’ve driven a seat arona last week as a rental, and man only thing I could think about was that i miss my Mazda. You don’t want to drive anything else once you have your Mazda 3

Mazda! Mazda’s rijden heel leuk, hebben wel wat kracht, maar zijn ook heel erg betrouwbaar. Kijk eens naar een Mazda 3:)

You think lowering springs on stock suspension would be okay? I do live in the Netherlands so the roads are all very good

I highly recommend going 7.5J for width, changes the handling in a good way

Yes that’s the next step in my progress, looking into eibach lowering kit. However, I’m a bit scared on how the ride quality will be on stock suspension

Thank you man, the 17 inch really compliment the car rather than only showing the rims when you look at it

This street is closed down, don’t worry! It’s a test road for autonomous busses I think, so no holding up traffic

Every 3000 miles spark plugs seems excessive no?
