- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The Mazda 3 Turbo Hatchback. This. Now this has been my favorite mainstream Mazda to date. Let’s discuss. I was very much reluctant to let it go back to the press dungeon for starters. But in this time, I fell in love with this 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo Hatch. As a daily, especially with Mazda’s new premium ethos and this Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint, it’s perfection. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

🏁 @Alllcarnews Spec Sheet: Under the hood is the 2.5L Turbo 4 making 250HP (227HP in 87 octane) and 320 lb-ft of torque, (310 lb-ft of torque on 87 octane) a decent amount of power in a tiny sedan. Power is sent to all four wheels only through a surprisingly good 6-Speed automatic. 🏁

Got the 2021 version and couldn't be happier with it. For what I paid $32,000 I still to this day haven't found another vehicle I'd rather have purchased for the same $$.
Yeah this thing is a solid BUY from me
I love this car! Had to switch cars with my mother in law as she needed to use a bigger car for 5 days and I'm having so much fun driving it
Thanks for the info. I've already decided this will be my next car. This reinforces my need to have this vehicle.
Wonderful to hear!
Wonderful car- traded in my (nice-but-dull) CX5 for this- and I am happy every single time I'm in it. The CX30/Cx3 are noisier. Reliable, fun, good looking- best car Ive ever had!
I just ran the fwd mazda 3 for one tank of fuel. 38mpg, overall I can run 420 miles. Pretty great
now that’s impressive
@@Allcarnews Yes, the test is performed with 70-85 mph only on highway, avg 75 I would say
Just ran first tank of gas in city driving, 20 mpg
@@supreme5998 fast acceleration and road surface condition affect mpg a lot. For me, my city driving gives me around 28 mpg
@@seattledude2022 I drive pretty slow and steady but it's pure city driving with traffic sometimes. My honda civic got about 23-24 mpg in these conditions so I'm not really surprised about it but yeah MPG can get pretty low in city driving. I do keep the A/C on at the lowest setting.
**long story**
I was looking for my next car and i started developing interest in Audi SUV’s and coupes. I detail cars for my job and get to see tons of exotic cars everyday. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the Audi interior and infotainment system. Not to mention the sound system.
Fast forward a year. I moved out my parents house and I found myself at the Nissan dealership getting my car serviced one afternoon. Soon the dealership was asking to buy my ‘19 Sentra SV, of course I was interested! So after going through a list of cars and it started to seem hopeless. The sell’s woman randomly brought the Mazda 3 up. The moment I saw it I had to have it 😂 . Before seeing the car i was pretty bummed because I couldn’t find anything I liked, seeing the Mazda 3 lifted my spirits.
I took the test drive and that was it, I signed the papers and drove it off the lot 👍. One of best investments I’ve made in my life, wish I got one sooner! It’s such a joy to own, I initially was draw to the car because of its looks but soon found out the mystique of the Mazda 3. It truly works for me, I’m fully sold. I use to want the wrx but I feel more unique with the 3 in America. Enjoy Mazda!
How much is it, I love your videos. Keep up the great reviews.
thank you! this one is fully loaded at around $35k
Had my 3 turbo hatch for just over a month now & I couldn’t be with it. Exactly what I wanted.
I enjoyed the ride. Excellent review. I hope Mazda will bring the Skyactiv X to the Mazda 3 sedan in the united states so I can buy it.
God I wish they’d bring X to the US.
I like the idea of the Skyactiv X engine, but the power and torque are actually less than the 2.5, and the gas mileage increase isn't huge. It makes sense in Europe where they don't get the 2.5l engine or turbo, but not so much in the U.S...especially with a price premium vs the 2.5
Just got me a 2021 Mazda 3 turbo , 10 days ago , only had 1,400 miles , best 28k I have ever spent. Full tech package and I LOVE IT. Originally I was a Subaru guy but now I’m all in on Mazda 3 hatch pp ❤❤❤
You mentioned a hidden launch control. Does it actually have one?
Not really, you can just theoretically get a better launch turning off traction control and using manual mode. I haven't tried it on my car, it's quick enough just mashing the pedal to the floor.
Great review! Just for driving experience, do you prefer BMW 3 series without considering the price?
Yes
BMW 3 series is a different class of car, the Mazda 3 turbo is more comparable to the 2 series with M package...but not the M2. The M2 is a serious performance compact car, the Mazda 3 turbo is more "premium with a sporty edge".
Have the 2019. Have never driven anything better and I've tried to find a new car lol! Mazda 3 is just fantastic all around.
Ive got a 2022 NA/Manual hatch, best car ive ever owned, ive yet to test drive the turbo but the more i look into it the tempted i am
it’s so tempting
You got the car I was originally considering before I bought my turbo hatch. I had already decided it was either FWD with manual (second fastest Mazda 3) or turbo with auto and AWD. There were no manual Mazda 3's within 500 miles so I spent a bit more for the turbo. I'm more than happy with my car, but sometimes I itch to row my own gears and the paddle shifters or slapping the gear level back and forth isn't the same. In my mind you have the next best thing to the turbo, enjoy!
i’m stuck between this one and the integra 6MT 😭 also on the 2024 mazda3 the driving assist is on all speeds now for the premium plus.
Oh wow i would definitely take this personally but im
mazda biased 😂
If it's just a regular Integra, Mazda 3 FWD manual all the way. Type S is a different story, but those things are priced above the Mazda 3 turbo hatch, and Honda/Acura dealers are notorious for not dealing on price.
I did buy this car, but in machine gray with red leather interior. I agree with everything you said, I never use lane keep assist and the radar cruise is about one car length too far even on the closest setting, but is still very nice on long interstate road trips. The ride is definitely firm, maybe a bit too firm if your local roads are in poor condition, (a mix where I live, some smooth, some badly in need of resurfacing) but overall not bad when compared to some other sporty cars. I rarely notice the torsion beam rear suspension, it's most noticeable going over speed bumps as it tends to "thunk" a bit on landing..but otherwise not an issue in daily driving or spirited twisty roads.
The best part (other than interior) is the effortless power. I've had my car nearly 4 years now and gotten used to it, but I miss it whenever I drive pretty much any other car...especially crappy rentals like Nissan Altima or small crossover from any number of manufacturers. Overall very happy with it and only issue has been the factory battery only lasting two years (replaced for free) and a cracked windshield from a small rock. Not the cars fault on the last one, but the front glass does seem a bit brittle and thin. Other than that, smooth sailing and still love it.
Did you just pass by the Bear Mountain inn?
Yes
This car in Canada with top trim turbo is 50k! - ill stick with my 2018 hatch I got loaded for 28k.
wow that’s ridiculous
@@Allcarnewsit's actually 44k cad for top trim with turbo 🙋
Just picked up a 2022 turbo fully loaded with CPO warranty for 33k cad out the door. Still has comprehensive warranty for another year, powertrain for another 5. Unlimited KM warranty. Mazdas truly has a refined product where it’s attention to detail is almost rivalling entry luxury brands. Another commenter said it’s the Japanese BMW. I couldn’t agree more. Haha
@@lucasb409I can agree with the Japanese BMW thing..except for the fact my turbo hatch has a better interior than a friends BMW 228i😂
One thing that got me upset about this car is it doesn't have a light in the glove box for thr night
How do you switch the seat belt chime on? Just got the new car these days but I just can't find it 🥲
Have to live w it. I think ome or two chimes is enough. Do u hear me Mazda?
I buckle my seatbelt before hitting the start button. It's become habit now😂
I'm debating between this and the CX-30.. can't decide. Where are you driving? It looks beautiful!!
I personally would take this but the CX-30 is essentially the same vehicle just raised and a tad bit more cargo room
get cx5 instead of cx30
Lowered CX-30 = Poor man’s Macan
@@jwilson2793I saw a lowered one the other day and it looked really good. Of course it also raised the question "why not just get a Mazda 3?"😂
I would only get the CX-30 (in any form including turbo) if you really need the extra ground clearance...such as live in a rural area with real winter weather and roads that arent always cleared. Other than that there are better pseudo SUV's for going off road, and the raised suspension blunts some of the Mazda 3 platforms handling prowess.
Is the rear visibility a dealbreaker on this? Looks ridiculously small and unsafe.
no, not in my opinion, the camera makes up for it, even tho you shouldn't rely on it
@@mrt6399 Cool. How are the seats on long trips? I know a lot of people say the LExus IS is tiresome. I know my Volvo V50 becomes tiring on long drives.
@@Ben-bs4od The bottom part of the seats are excellent, they hold you well and are comfy over long trips, the back rest bolstering I am not a fan of, it sneezes my shoulder too much but you get used to it
It isn't really. The sideview mirrors are decently sized and Blindspot monitoring helps immensely. The only deal breaker part would be if you regularly have backseat passengers or babyseat. If so then this isn't the car for you
@@Ben-bs4odI've seen some reviewers complain about the long distance comfort of the seats, but I think they are very comfy and just supportive enough for spirited driving without being over bolstered. No issue for me, but I'm a taller, narrower build of person.
I have the natural aspirated version I'd honestly go with that it has enough power and you don't need as much long term maintenance as the turbo. It still has a satisfying rumble when you accelerate and is a cheap luxury car. AWD is awesome on it I live in a snowy place I find myself passing trucks and jeeps with 4x4 daily and have never had even the slightest lose of control.
If you don't know what skyactiv actually is I suggest looking into it.. it really milks the most performance possible out of these engines it's amazing.
mazda je japanski bmw
+ надёжный!)))
mazda 3 turbo or miata?
Wow, that's a tougher choice than it seems on the surface😂 I mean on one hand you have a two seater that's considered by many as the most fun car in the world, (all things considered) on the other hand you have a small hatchback that may as well be a two seater (with seats in the back for occasional use) but has way more useable cargo space. I'd say as long as you have another larger vehicle and whichever you choose will mostly be for driving yourself around and on occasion one passenger...why not get a Miata? I'd have one in a heartbeat if I could afford to own, maintain and garage another larger car, but that isn't where I'm at unfortunately. (I live In a condo with a single car garage and have a Mazda 3 turbo hatch)
What a shame the car doesn't come with interior ambiant lighting like the Golf Mk 8
yeah that’s mazdas weak point, but i think their reasoning behind it isn’t as they can’t do it, it’s more of they have this strict philosophy of you ONLY focusing on the road. it’s a deep philosophy of theirs. it’s why they have such a good HUD, why they don’t want people having a touchscreen, and a whole other host of reasons.
I remembered when I got the 2014 model... cabin noise was atrocious, heard almost everything from the outside and road noise. Suspension was terrible, the smallest 1 inch pothole deep made the car feel like I hit brick. The headliner felt like it was made out of recycled egg carton material. They came a long way...
Yeah this is absolutely nothing like that at all. Huge improvement from the brand
amazing car
Why do manuals only need 6 gears but automatics have to have 8+?
the auto only has 6 as well
Extra gears can theoretically squeeze out some extra performance and gas mileage, but only if they are well programmed to do both things. As for why are manuals only 6 speeds...have you ever driven a manual before? 8 gears would be a bit too much😂 iirc a few years back someone offered a 7 speed manual, but I think 7th gear was just an extra tall overdrive for gas mileage purposes, not really used in daily driving.
How do you do the secret launch control??
I was told by a Mazda tech to put it in manual mode, turn off the traction control, and turn on sport mode. Only works in the Turbo models.
nice review but the cruise control critiques i find completely wrong. But still one of the best reviews (dont hate me! )
i’ve driven a lot of these systems and this one just doesent feel safe to me if you really need use it. lack of any active steering assist above 40mph is also a weird quirk i’m not a fan of.
Also the cruise control fails to speed up fast enough when the car in front of you switches lanes or exits. Ex the Radar cruise automatically slowed down the vehicle when a car in front of me was slowing down then switched lanes. The car took way too long to realize the car was no longer in front and speed up.
He isn't wrong about the cruise control, I have a 2021 turbo hatch and have the same complaints. Don't get me wrong, I still like it on long interstate drives, but the following distance is too conservative and allows cars to jump in ahead of you which slows you down even further.
Can the heads up display be permanently turned off?
Nope
@@RedCdotyes lmao
@@knickson4796 it turns back on automatically after you turn the car back on
You can turn it off if you like, but it comes back with the next restart. I love it and rarely look at my actual gauges.
That steering assist works at the same mph as my Acura
