Mazda 3 vs Integra: Comparison, Fuel Cost Audit, 31 Calculations I Made So You Wouldn't Have to!
Ah-- you're finding yourself torn between the Mazda 3 and the Acura Integra, aren't you?
That's a delightful dilemma to have, but if you're contemplating either of these two premium compacts my latest video is your ultimate guide to navigate the Mazda 3 vs. Acura Integra decision with utmost clarity.
Join me as we delve into the nitty-gritty of each vehicle’s dimensions, horsepower, fuel expenses (right down to the last penny!), and passenger space, cargo volume figures, road test impressions, and much more.
Which one boasts more cargo space - the Mazda 3 or the Acura Integra? And by what margin? How does the fuel efficiency of an AWD-equipped Mazda 3 stack up against the front-wheel-drive Integra? Which fuel grades optimize performance for the Integra and the Mazda 3? Do they demand high-octane fuel? Which variants offer a manual transmission, and how does it impact your fuel costs?
By the end of this video report, you’ll be armed with answers to all these questions and a wealth of other insights, empowering you to make the most value-packed choice for your specific needs and use case. I'll tell you which one I'd buy, too.
It’s a data-driven, math-backed, and cost-conscious exploration of Mazda 3 vs. Acura Integra! I trust you’ll find it enlightening.

    I have a 2023 Integra elite A spec with the manual. It’s a bit expensive for what you get but for me it was worth it the get the 6 speed manual transmission. I average 7 to 7.5 litres per 100km in 90% city driving. I can easily get low 6 or high 5 litres per 100km when on the highway. I use 91 octane fuel. It’s fun to drive and has enough space for a family of 4.

      We have a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness so we use that when we need AWD. I hit a moose in the Yukon with my old forester with a 6 speed manual so I had to resort to ordering one with a CVT… I live in British Columbia so I only really see snow for 1-2 weeks out of the year unless I go into the mountains so FWD in the Integra works well here.

Even in my WRX w/the base 6.5" Starlink, at night I have the lights dimmed 2 pos up from min brightness (or 4 pos down from max brightness). The middle setting is about as high as I can go w/o the screen/IC/triple guage panel destroying my night vision. This is also w/the unit (Android Auto/waze set to night mode). I really miss Saab's Night panel feature 😕.

The 350 is an entity all its own, the exhaust note is absolutely amazing, kind of a race car esque. The bullet also sounds amazing, but toned down a bit more and more of the classic muscle car sound in my humble opinion. Plus active exhaust, great feature.

      They don't get much better than the Subaru Boxer engine. Maybe some larger engines with worst gas mileage. Boxer has been successful both in passenger vehicles and racing for longer than any other engine in current production or like 45 years. If you notice the Toyota Highlander also went to a turbo 4cyl engine abandoning its straight 6cy. What I am not a fan of is the CVT transmissions. They are fine if you plan to own for 5 or 6 years then change but 100K miles plus not so reliable.

    • @K03sport

      are you sure it's the engine and not the transmission? there is a a good bit of aftermarket for the 2.4FA.DIT. Mazda's 3.3T I-6 is nice as well. W/the Subaru, stay on top of oil/fluid changes and you'll be fine. don't stretch OCI because the oil bottle says "15k mi/18k km") intervals... just don't do it.

    Complaining about rear power window placement is rather petty. Buttons rarely used are often no placed in less accessible spots. Split folding seats make sense to partially expand cargo area with a hatch. It makes little sense here where you don’t get a flat expanded cargo space and hatch cargo space. It would be a distinction without a difference.

  • @jeffjo8732
    @jeffjo8732 17 днів тому

    Nitpick: There is no such thing as a hybrid engine. It has an Atkinson engine connected to a hybrid transmission. And underlying that nitpick is another, almost universal mistake. Never compare the engine to an electric motor-generator. The MG doesn't *_make_* power like an engine does, it converts the electrical power made by a battery or generator, from electrical power to mechanical power. So the MGs are more properly part of a hybrid's transmission, than something that compares to an engine. But while you gave a very good explanation of the hybrid system, I like mine better. Numbers below will reflect the 2018-2022 version, but they didn't change much. Most of the time, this is an EV. Not a *_Battery_* EV, like a Tesla, but a *_Battery_* *_and_* _Generator*_ EV. It is more properly called a serial hybrid. The disadvantage of a serial hybrid is that it has to convert power twice between electrical and mechanical. The losses in that process are its "transmission losses." But in fact, this transmission can be more efficient than a CVT. Still, when needs are fairly constant - highway cruising - it changes to a parallel hybrid with essentially no transmission losses at all. The way a serial hybrid helps with fuel economy, is seen in that green-and-blue power display. That Atkinson engine is most efficient at 2000 rpm and 88.5 lb-ft of torque, which is about 34 HP. It is 40.6% efficient at this point on the torque curve. Now, the engine in a non-hybrid has to produce the exact amount of power needed by the car. At 55 mph on a flat road in this car, that is about 15 HP. With it best rpm at 15 HP, this engine is only about 37% efficient. (A larger, or non-Atkinson, engine would be less efficient at 15 HP.) So what the serial hybrid will do - as you describe - is run the engine at 34 HP as often as it can, and use that extra 19 HP to self-charge the battery. Then, at a later time it will use that charge either for acceleration, or in EV drive. As a parallel hybrid, between about 40 and 80 mph, it will vary rpm (rpm=mph*37) but still keep efficiency above 40%. And the traction motor will use any extra power to self-charge, instead of the generator. Two more nitpicks: it uses engine drive only in low-power situations. So ma wheel power is determined by that 181 HP motor. But remember, a motor is a transmission, not a power plant. In order to get 181 HP to the wheels, a conventional gas car has to make 212 HP (www.motortrend.com/how-to/modp-1005-drivetrain-power-loss/). And yes, that is where Honda's older hybrids go their "rated" power. And, there is one other situation where the generator will act as a motor. If the battery ever becomes full while using regenerative braking down a long hill, you will lose regen if you don't find another place to dump energy. In this situation, the generator will be used to spin the engine for "engine braking." That surprises some people, when the engine seems to come on while braking downhill.

    For about 13.5k you can get north of 650whp. I bought mine used for 34k with 40kmiles on it. Did all the labor myself and and am at $50k with fully built trans and 636whp on e30. Just started revising the e60 tune and will be pushing around 700whp.. straight monster

      I haven't dug into it much myself but my pal (who is shopping for a fast SUV) was saying he's not a 'ford guy' per se, but that it's pretty impossible to beat the ST for the reasons you just described! Have fun with that, sounds rad!

      @@JustinPritchard I got 3 kids and mutilple tunes that all are drive mode specific.. so I can cruise down the road in eco mode to baseball practice @450whp , drop the kids off and switch to sport and making anywhere from 550whp to 636whp and gappp errrr body depending what fuel I’m running lol I’m about to get into internals of the motor and upgrade. I’m estimating I’ll be making around 720-750 whp when it’s all said and done… It’s a fun SUV for sure! And I’m still about 10k off the price of a new one!

    This model doesn't have a cvt only motors. Great suv, but the major issue is that it doesn't do good mileage for long drives on the highway. Rav4 is much superior for highway driving. Toyota's more efficient hybrid system. But I don't like the rav4 hybrid interior cabin, the engine noise is very annoying.
