The differences between Mazda 3 and Corolla are as follows: Different Exterior: The Mazda 3 features larger windows and a visually striking side streamline design. The Corolla has a flatter front end, with the emblem positioned at the top of the bumper rather than embedded in the grille, and its rear design is relatively more conservative. Different Interior: A large touchscreen is the centerpiece of the Toyota Corolla, flanked by a knob and a row of buttons on each side. The Mazda's interior leans more towards a premium brand aesthetic, featuring an 8.8-inch oversized LCD display and a center console designed to mimic luxury cars. Different Powertrain: The Toyota is equipped with a 2.0L engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Mazda 3 offers two engine options: Mazda's new 2.0L Skyactiv-G naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. For these two models, it is recommended that users make their choice based on personal needs.

Last year when I was choosing a car, I was also torn between the Mazda3 and the Corolla, but I ultimately went with the Mazda3. As an enthusiast driver, I prioritize driving pleasure, and the Mazda3 delivers with its quick power response, precise steering, and stable body control during turns—it handles as nimbly as a compact car. Its exterior design is also eye-catching, with the KODO design language giving it sleek and dynamic lines. The interior feels premium, featuring soft-touch plastics that make it noticeably more stylish than the Corolla. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 7L/100km in city driving, slightly higher than the Corolla, but the driving experience is absolutely worth it. Safety features like automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist are included, making it great for both daily commutes and weekend getaways. The only downside is the slightly cramped rear seating, which makes it better suited for singles or couples. In short, if you want to enjoy driving, go for the Mazda3—it’ll make you fall in love with being behind the wheel.

Is it necessary to depress the clutch when turning with a manual transmission car?

Whether to depress the clutch when turning with a manual transmission depends on the turning speed. For low-speed turns, you may not need to depress the clutch or use the semi-engaged clutch (half-clutch), while for high-speed turns, you should depress the clutch and downshift as needed. Below are the relevant details about manual transmission turning: 1. Low-speed conditions: When the vehicle is moving at a crawl or turning at a speed of 5~10 km/h, you should use the semi-engaged clutch or keep the clutch depressed to ensure the vehicle has sufficient power and does not stall. 2. High-speed conditions: When turning at speeds of 80 km/h or above, you should depress the clutch. At higher speeds, the vehicle has greater inertia, so the speed will not drop too low. Since the speed is higher, the gear will also be in a higher range, where traction is lower. If the turn is long and the vehicle's speed drops significantly, you can downshift appropriately to increase traction. After completing the turn, you can quickly accelerate the vehicle again.
