This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2022 Mazda3 GT compact sedan. We are driving the Mazda3 GT Turbo with 18” black wheels, a black grille, black exterior accents, a chrome lower bumper and larger exhaust outlets. It has a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic transmission, 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque on regular fuel. You get a bit of a bump in power if you use premium, 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Standard AWD on the turbo model. There are two other engine options, a 2.5L non-turbo with 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. FWD and AWD options are available and a 2L 4-cylinder with a standard 6-speed manual, available 6-speed automatic transmission. It has 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, standard FWD. This is the only trim with a manual transmission, the US no longer has a manual option on the sedan, only the hatchback. Some standard features on the Mazda3 include, an 8.8” display with Mazda Connect, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 7” LCD display, a manual driver and passenger seat, heated front seats, Mazda harmonic acoustics with 8-speakers, LED headlights, LED taillights and a temporary spare tire. Available features on the Mazda3 include a heated steering wheel, leatherette and leather upholstery, a power driver’s seat, driver seat memory, moonroof and a 360 view-monitor.

I think the 2.5 is the way to go if your looking for long term reliability. Mazda has been building and refining it for decades and it is solid.
I have a 2013 Madza 3 with the 2.5 and have 180K miles with no issues except the valve cover gasket leaked oil into the spark plug well about a year ago and shorted out the plug but it was an easy fix and still going strong.
I absolutely love this car! Every time I drive my daughter’s, I am blown away.
I have owned several Mazdas over the years. Some with independent rear suspensions and now two (3 Premium Hatch and CX-50 Turbo) with torsion beam rear ends. There is no noticeable loss of ride quality and handling in our new ones. Both are amazing examples of what Mazda is capable of !
Couldn't agree more!
Good to know
The torsion beam was a concern as roads in NJ are not always great and dont want a poor ride. Now if we can only get 50 series tires on the upper end trim the ride would be even better . thx
I’d choose this over a Civic or Corolla any day! Mazdas are awesome!
I love my 2018 Mazda3 hatchback. I average about 27mpg in LA commuting, but around 34 mpg on road trips. It’s quick enough for everyday driving, and fast enough when I need it. And, it’s smooth! The power train is aging, but I like the reliability history and feel compared to other brands’ turbocharged engines and cvt’s.
I have absolutely zero seat time in any newer Mazdas. Older yes (RX7 & 8, 323 Protégé, 626, MPV, their old pickups and even the rarely seen 929). I am consistently blown away by how many reviewers have praised both the driving dynamics and fit/finish of interior. Andrea, you have convinced me to go and check them out (test drive one?). Besides I think they look good, (all whilst ‘owning’ their look), especially as a sedan. Thanks for sharing your impressions. Cheers!
And obviously the Miata. I will always agree with that saying… “Miata is always the answer”. They are an absolute blast to drive, despite their (past) girly hairdresser imagine.
Excellent, so good to hear you will consider test driving one 👌
We had a Mazda 6 and really miss it. Wasn't the fastest car but not slow either. It far exceeded the EPA MPG ratings. We got 37 MPG@ 75 mph on a road trip. I suspect this Mazda 3 in real world driving will far exceed its EPA rating of 33 mpg.
Agreed. Mazda certainly is getting my attention lately. And the decent mileage helps!
I have a CX-30 and I also test drove the Mazda 3 Sedan, the interiors are pretty good for the price and Mazda is one of the mainstream car companies that cares about handling (Honda being the other one that comes to mind immediately). As a result all the Mazda cars I've driven handle better but ride stiffer than Toyotas, Hyundais, etc. Definitely worth a test drive if you like that sort of thing, I love mine.
A manual is a generation Z antitheft device/car Jacker . Save the manuals
The interior of the 3 is nicest in the class.
Just took delivery of my brand new 2022 Mazda 3 Sedan in Sonic Silver Metallic. Ordered it in March..... so it's been a 7 month wait for it here in Melbourne, Australia. (Imported from Japan).
I am beyond thrilled with the car. It is absolutely stunning, gorgeous, classy, premium and luxurious. Could not have made a better choice for myself.
I am a Mazda fan.
My father bought me a brand new Mazda 626 sedan back in 1990 when l was 18 years old. That car is now 32 years old, has achieved 500,000km (310,000 miles!!!!!). Has never failed me and still looks, drive and feels like new. It is beyond unbelievable and l will never part with it.
I intended to drive both cars, my 1990 Mazda 626 sedan and my stunning, breathtaking 2022 Mazda 3 sedan.
Warm regards from Melbourne 🇦🇺
Great review. I enjoyed the ending of your video. You guys look like you enjoy what your doing. Keep it coming. Very informative and enjoyable. 👌
Thank you so much for the positive feedback
Really love the chemistry between you two. Great review! We own a latest gen mazda 3 hatch fwd and all i can say, it is a gem in the segment. My family owned several german luxury cars but mazda in the recent years really improved a lot.
Thank you so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the review.
Thanks for featuring our question. Great review as always. If objectively scoring, the space and fuel economy of the civic would tilt it over the 3, but the 3 just has that unique driving feel. And agree on the turbo front. The turbo has got so much press, because it is really good, that the great power and linear response of the non-turbo gets forgotten sometimes…a great power and fuel economy combo.
Thank you for participating, great question!
Love my 2021 GT Sedan. Test drove the turbo version as well, and found there was really no need for it. Also, the turbo rumble started to get to me after a number of traffic lights and 4 way stops. Very happy with this car and would highly recommend.
My '17 Mazda 3 hatchback with the 2.5L NA is what I would call....swift. It's a fairly light car that handles great. My occasional drive is a coyote 5.0 Mustang, so a Mazda 3 feeling swift is pretty impressive to me. Another great review Y'all, thanks.
Great review of a great car! We bought a 2021 Mazda 3 ( ... M3 I call it :) ...) AWD Premium (US trim level) June a year ago. It's in the Soul Red Crystal Metallic with white leather interior. It was nicely optioned with a body color trunk lid spoiler, the bright trim on the horizontal surface of the rear bumper cover where the trunk lid meets the bumper cover, wireless phone charger, mud mats, and locking lug nuts. We added the dealer installed frameless HomeLink rearview mirror as part of the purchase deal. If I do say so myself the car is absolutely stunning. And, it is a hoot to drive. You're right Andrea, turbo not needed. Zack, you're also correct in saying, 10 out of 10 people wouldn't know it had a (evidently sophisticated) twist beam versus IRS. Two things I like two things I don't like :) . It's fun and nimble and looks great and is comfortable and gets good gas mileage (ok, so that's more than two). I wish it had ventilated seats, it gets hot and humid in the mid Atlantic/mid South region, and I wish it had a heated steering wheel, it gets cold here too, and I wish you didn't have to go up to the Turbo Premium Plus to get 360 camera and parking sensors in the US. I know, I know, that's more than two.
It's my wife's car. She lets me drive it. We had a wonderful 2008 Acural TL purchased new with only 58,400 miles (that's what retirement followed by a pandemic can do to your motoring) on it when we sold it privately for a low five figure amount. The only reason the TL went was because my wife wanted a car with more up to date safety features and the M3 delivers. I submit that if you removed the Mazda badging and stylized wing logo and sub'd in a circle with a stylized " L " within the circle a fair number of folks would think they were looking at and driving a baby brand L car. Over statement, perhaps, but probably not by too much.
It's a great car ... I can't speak for the content of the other trim levels, but the US Premium trim is very nice although it would be nicer if the Mazda product planners added a few items to it that are otherwise found in the Turbo Premium Plus in the US. If anyone reading this, if anyone reads it that is, and you're on the fence considering whether to purchase one, I urge you to take a test drive in one. I think you'll like it.
(An aside on our purchase, of all the cars my wife tested I could tell as soon as she got in the Mazda the search was over ... when we got back to the dealership the sales manager, a wonderful, great guy named John, very nice, low key, no pressure, no gimmickry, asked my wife what she thought. She replied she liked it but was also considering the then new generation Honda Civic. As the fates would have it, there is a Honda store a (long) stone's throw from the Mazda store. John said, 'well, why don't you drive the Mazda over to Honda and compare them side by side.' That's what we did. There was a new Civic in the high trim level parked right in front of the dealer and my wife pulled up next to it, got out, looked at the two, and said, it's the Mazda. John's faith in his product was justified. At that moment another couple walked up and admired the Mazda, I calmly told them, "this car is sold" and we scooted back to the Mazda store to ink the deal. )
The Mazda's design is really getting better and better in recent years, especially the interiors are getting some European vibes.
I personally always prefer the sedan form than hatchbacks for the compact cars. The only good looking hatchback is the Golf imo...it's got a great proportion overall!! 😬
Thanks for another great review Zack and Andrea......love the joyful ending btw!! 😉
the straight up copied audi a3's interior. i drove my friends a3 2018, and its basically the same thing lol
Yup I didn’t like the golf originally but it’s the only hatchback that grew on me overtime. All the others are soccer mom mobiles
I test drove one of these recently, it's a fantastic car. Super fun to drive. Seriously considering it now.
Thanks guys, I bought 23 sedan and we are in love, the car is a pleasure to own and drive. We can't ever remember having so much fun in a car. It's an amazing car. Your preview was helpful.
Been loving my 2022 Touring model here in Australia. Fully leather interior, 2.0l 6sp auto, 18inch wheels with a few other bells and whistles.
The stock pioneer sound system is really solid, could almost pass for a older models Bose sound system. Plenty of low end with so much detail.
The car drives so well, holds corners like a race car while also being agile and smart.
All the safety tech really makes you a confident driver and everything is easy to use, set up and understand.
One of the best cars in its class. Can’t flaw it.
Another great review from you 2. Zac totally agree with you regarding the Mazda connect. I get to drive many different hire cars for work and once you are use to Mazda connect leaning forward to touch the screen to do things is annoying and simply dangerous .
You travel a great distance even at 3 miles per hour when you take your eyes off the road while you are touching the screen.
I have exactly the same color right down to the color without the leather.I tell you a true story. Once I was racing with a Pirsche Panamera from 0-100km the Porsche could not pull away from my mighty 186hp Mazda 3. Then the Porsche sped away way beyond 100km/hour and I decided not to exceed the speed limit. Numerous times I passed entry level BMWs and Mercedes with ease using the Sports mode which turned this into a sports car.
The same car, same color.
ur dreaming
@@djizzah ?Obviously you haven't driven one yet.
You need to put the Sports mode to good use. This Mazda takes on a much more aggressive personality in Sports mode. Up and down shift using the manual mode also helps.
@@danielfong2941 years ago Mazda made some fast cars when they used rotary engines
I have a platinum quartz Mazda3 Sport GT AWD I paid extra for the hatch after I thought about it, I never ever sit in the back and I haven't had anybody back there yet. The hatch gets a lot of comments for being beautiful which I was not expecting, and I might have just picked the sedan for $1800 less had I known the hatch would draw attention for its looks. Other than that I absolutely love Mazda's lately. They feel nice and premium.
I enjoy when you both test new Mazdas. They are always nice cars lately.
Another thing i am super impressed is Andrea can always find the perfect clothing to match the car! ❤
I had a manual Mazda 3 a few years ago. One of the most fun cars to drive.
My RX-8 just died recently and I really wanted another Mazda, but these car prices are too crazy. I was looking at a Mazda 3, Acura TSX, Civic or Fit. I couldn't find a Mazda 3 I liked so I bought the TSX. I'm really happy with it because I always wanted a K24 car. I'll get another Mazda in the future!
Canadian car reviewers are so awesome 👌 much better than the US
Wow, thanks!
Thank you very much!
I just bought the 2024 GT. I LOVE this car. I can’t imagine anyone not loving it. It’s a no brainer. My previous car was 2008 Mazda 3.
I just picked up a 2019 GS-L sedan. I do like the design of the hatch more, but my 6-ft+17 yr old doesn’t fit well back there. The 3 is such a great value, especially with that incredible interior. Dare I say the fit/finish, ride quality and overall quietness is better than our Tesla Model 3…for 1/4 of the price.
Nice! 😮
Andrea I love that you like to accelerate - me too! No reason to have a slow car:)
when this gen Mazda 3 first came out in 2014, with the refreshed model
in 2016 your engine choices were as follows.
the base engine was a 2.0, it made a 156hp, a 143tq, with a curb weight of 2949lbs,
it went 0 - 60 in 8.7 seconds.
the optional engine choice was a 2.4l, making a 185hp a 184tq. with the 2.4,
it put the curb weight at 3022lbs, 0 - 60 time was 7.1 seconds.
so that was then,
the final and 3rd choice, the 2.5 turbo replaced the old 2.4 as the top option,
it's now the standard option on the base trims as of 2020.
so with the 2.5t, you get more power but curb weight also went up to 3067 lbs.
so here's how it works, if you put premium gas, you get 250hp, 320tq,
0 - 60 in 5.3 seconds, but if you use regular gas, horsepower is 226, 0 - 60 in 6.3 seconds.
so to sum up which is the best option long term, for me the base 2.4 is more enough
for daily use, but your average 0 - 60 time will be between 6.9 to 7.2 seconds.
now the 2.5 turbo is obviously quicker, but unless you intend to put premium gas
which is the only way to get the most performance out of it, using regular gas
will cause more turbo tag as a result. so if you go with the turbo, please use premium,
but the base 2.4 doesn't require it. so you don't have to worry about turbo lag,
and even on the highway it doesn't struggle at all.
add throttle controller + good quality OBD2 remap box and GREEN Filter or K&N and you will feel how much more fun that car can produce.
Agree with Zack …don’t care about sunroofs …hate black wheels
Bought a 2010 mazda 2,5 l, as second economy car,,now favorite car, amazing handling, fun to drive, Bose speakers, plenty of power, no repairs, seamless shifting, sold on mazda
Amazing car. Smooth drive with great handling and control.
Nice vehicle! It’s looks like a fun car. Only one that I don’t like is the touchscreen’s location. Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Super fun! Thanks for watching.
I have a 2018 mazda 3 gt with 130,000 kms and it has been very reliable.
That's great to hear, thanks for sharing!
The male reviewer (Zack?), I totally with his opinions. No B.S., analog gauges, no moonroof, just keep it practical and simple. It goes to show that the automotive industry doesn't have much more of substance to add to new cars to encourage us to buy. It's just more frills and a higher than ever price tag. Nice Mazda!
agree*
Loved the ending ❤️ keep up the good work!
Thank you!
A lot of reviewers claim the Mazda 3 is slow but they are testing the AWD. My wife has the FWD GT hatchback and I find it pretty quick as well like the GT FWD that is being tested here that you find quick. Seems like the AWD takes away from the power? Who knows…
Agree to disagree. Just got the AWD for my son and felt that it was peppy, cornered well, and had plenty of every day acceleration. Also, great looking car. I’m Jealous.
@@docasch6204 that’s good….I have never driven the AWD model myself but just seems many other reviewers claim it to be slow for some reason. My experience is only the FWD which I found quite good like Motormouth mention on this video.
If you look at the spec, the FWD is about 200lbs less.
@@lajya01 that would be a contributing factor on a small car
We love heated seats here in Florida, they are great when you have back pain. Keep up the great show.
Sounds like Andrea's next car should be a Mazda :)
I agree! For those of us living in the north, a heated wheel is great and rarely are they either available or one needs to pay top dollar for upper trim for it, I live in the south side of the border just below montreal and , news flash! Vehicle manufscturers, it is just as cold here as another 40km north.
I have the 2018 Mazda3 GT 2.5 naturally inspired engine. This car is really fast without the turbo. Why have added mechanical components when the car goes 0 to 60 in about 6 to 7 seconds with the naturally inspired engine. What's the rush, there is a stop sign or red light at about every quarter mile in most community's anyways.
Price is everything.Not everyone can afford the top trim level.
So strange seeing the red seats in the sedan. In Australia it’s only the black or white leather, and red is exclusive to the hatch. Have to say that I think the red pairs better with the black headlining than the cream but it’s a beautiful car.
The sedan looks way better than the hatch which I think looks awkward
I’m sure non-turbo ICE is fine for me except I love Mazda’s heads up display & 360 camera. It’s crisp & high res but I’d have to get the top trim. For me, that’s either CX-5 signature or possibly CX-50 GT
Happy wife Happy Life. Love your bantering .👍👍
I love the 2.5L N/A in the Mazda3! My Mom has the 2012 Hatchback with that engine & it's a really fun car to put around town in, & I think it's plenty of hp for it's size personally. I do agree with y'all's point about the Sedan vs the Hatchback, if I had to choose if I got one myself I'd definitely get the sedan for the same reasons y'all mentioned.
For the MX-30 , I heard by some autojournalists that it doesn't sell well at all. They sold 35 of them in may and 23 in june in all of Canada !! Mazda said , several weeks ago , that it will be discontinued.
Even Mazda's non-turbo engines are more robust/fun than what other automakers put into their vehicles in any similar segment. Plus, Mazda uses their own innovative, modernized design of the 6-speed automatic instead of the less-durable/reliable belt/chain design CVT's most everyone else uses in their ICE vehicles. Mazda is building better-quality ICE vehicles than either Toyota or Honda these days, or at least that has been my experience.
Mazda make good quality practical vehicles that are enjoyable to drive. They do not have the problematic turbo's or the CVt's I am very wary of both.
Hey Andrea this is a very stylish sedan, cool body to chassis profile with smart interior styling in red leatherette in this model. Mazda are a historically well honed manufacturer of solid good looking cars. Was Zack holding the centre consul when you accelerated? Lol
Agreed! He could have been holding the centre console, I think I make him nervous 😊
Mazdas really live up to their "zoom-zoom" advertising.
I'm getting an evolve sp 2023 hatchback subscribed. You guys make a lovely couple .
the Hatch needs to be a bit roomy. especially in the back seat. but I'm sold for the Mazda 3 Sedan that's no doubt. the best style. drive. and reliability I've been a Toyota owner for a long time. so reliability is important. and Mazda. It is really on my list.
I got my 22 civic sport when it first came out in oct 2021 so luckily before the msrp and mark ups began, got for 23k and I’m loving it still. Mazda is very limited in my area I couldn’t find any called around ect ….don’t regret getting a civic though
Going for gs trim with luxurious package.. Can't wait for it to come 😍
Awesome, great choice, you are going to love it.
Is it 155hp or 2.5L 180hp?
@@jeetpatel9935 2.5L..
I like the sedan better than the hatch
I’ve been turn in this mazda3 seeing for a full tank just give you 400+km. Thats why i get the Forte GT giving me 600+km a tank.
Great review 👍🏻👍🏻
But the Kia’s engine will die before the Mazdas
As a current owner of Mazda 3 with a 2.0NA engine in Australia, I'd say the car is awesome, except for the weak power.
You guys are wacko! I love it.
When the current Mazda3 came out in 2020, it wasn't sold particularly well. The high gas price's silver lining, is that I have seen about as many current Mazda3 as the previous 2 generations on the road. Even though the previous generation and original Mazda3 remained the a little bit more. They are great car, nevertheless. When I bought my Civic Sport 1.5T back in 2018. Mazda3 was the closet one to get. If Mazda offered the top range 2.5GT without leather seats, I could have been driving a Mazda3 right now.
In 2019 the first year for this generation mazda 3 they offered a non leather base model GT….. in Canada it was offered atleast. That is how I trimmed out my wife’s 19 GT hatchback.
In the 2024 model here in Canada, you gotta get the turbo if you want the black rims, black grill, and black accent. Just makes no sense to make the black accents exclusive to the turbo. What about ppl that dont want a turbo due to reliability concerns ? I know I can just get these replaced afterwards with OEM or aftermarket parts, but this really bothered me and I had to rant, sorry.
Hey Andrea, how does this compare with the VW Jetta in terms of power delivery, seat comfort, and infotainment? Love the reviews, you guys are awesome!!
Awesome cars we own a 22 Mazda 3 S , very impressed with the tech on a low level affordable trim, plenty of power handles great!
That license plate kills the gorgeous front end of the car in this video, finally Ohio where I live they scrapped the laws requiring a front plate, I had multiple warnings about not running a front plate although I refused to comply, lol
I have owned a 2022 Mazda 3 carbon edition for just more than a year now. I love the design, power and all that, but I’m very disappointed with the fuel economy and rear seat legroom. I get about 23 mpg combined and I don’t drive crazy at all. I’m a big fan of Mazda. Had a 2000 Mazda protege and a 2014 Mazda 6 in the past. Now, I can’t wait to get rid of my Mazda 3.
It would be nice if you covered how the vehicles handle the cracks in the road. :)
It bumps and bangs with many interior rattles.. many vibrations. Have a 22 mz3 gt hatch. Worst Mazda interior I have ever.
I prefer the sedan over the hatchback as well. Its just more balanced looking, plus the better visibility. I'm seriously considering a Carbon Edition in the US. A nearby dealer has one in transit. Pretty much my only disappointment with it is lack of rear AC vents, but I'm usually the only one in the car so I can live with that. Just seems like a brand that is trying to up their luxury aspirations they would have them.
Hi Guys,
Love your informative reviews.😊
Thank you very much, so glad you like them!
Living in Florida, I do not care in the slightest for heated seats or steering wheel, but I pray for VENTILATED seats. 😅
I bet, we hear that all the time!
Zack was the "this is a Great Little Car" comment meant to evoke Mazda GLC's of the past???
lol, that was so funny. You guys have the best videos.
Thank you!
I've heard chatter that this is going to be the last Mazda 3 the company makes, it's been said that after this generation runs out it's live cycle Mazda will not be replacing it, and with Mazda's recent obsession with SUVs I'm inclined to believe.
I think Mazda is producing SUV’s out of necessity. Sedans just don’t sell well, so they sell SUV’s purely to stay afloat. I hope the market shifts towards sedans and hatches so we can get more of those from Mazda and other car companies in general.
I have a 2019 Mazda 3 2.5 fwd. Came back from a long road trip with an average of 6.1l/100km. Power is more than decent though you do need to rev it out.
I love this channel
Good to hear, thank you! 🙏
Just test drive a 2023 Turbo hatch. I have a 2019 AWD NA. Lower end yes, the Turbo is quick. Feels like a V6. NA is also quick but feels different. The NA feels smoother less belligerent. The Turbo is forcing it down your throat. The NA is like heres some speed, you're welcome. Highway speeds not that different tbh. The turbo falls off at the high end. All that extra power and torque is felt 0 to 60.
Leatherette should be properly named as plastic seats.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Please someone adopt me! I need to be in Canada! I have a 2017 Mazda 3 Touring with a manual transmission. Love it. It's time for a new car BUT I can't get a stick in a sedan. Aaaannnndddd of I do get one here I have to pay over $35 k in only the hatch. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Honda Hatch Sport here I come.
my parking lot neighbours both have 323 i was surprised how soon they developed rusty rear fenders
New Mazdas don't rust
I love mazda
Mazda just needs to look at what VW did few years ago. Super size all their current lineup. They always lose out to others on space.
Love my cx5 grand Turing reserve
How is the rear view verse the hatchback? I like the looks of hatch better but view seems limited. The sedan seems to be a lil lighter than the hatch and gets better gas mileage.
I disagree regarding the hatchback vs sedan... I think the hatchback is way more eye-catching and stylish. However, I concede that the thick C-pillars, although they look nice stylistically, do impede visibility and create huge blind spots.
I find a large engine in this sized car a little strange. But it's a nice package.
I love this car but, of course, I am biased as I have it's big brother - a CX30. Mine is also the non turbo (but is AWD) and I agree with the comments of both Andrea and Zack. Its a blast to drive, gets excellent fuel economy, has a great interior and is the perfect size for our needs (we also have a Tiguan). I am little worried for Mazda...the have invest hugely in new, larger, more luxurious 6 cylinder SUVS when the whole world is going electric. Can they evolve quickly enough?
as soon as u said u own a volkswagen u lost me
This must be so much fun in a manual
I have the 2023 manual hatch and it’s so fun to drive.
You've forgotten the most important numbers...Andrea's weekly clothing budget!??!
The top GT model has no rear HVAC vents. My 2019 Forte EX has rear vents and also a heated steering wheel. Also the back seat is very small. That's one of the reason I didn't get this. Doesn't feel as roomy.
No cooled seats? I'll pass that is a must for me
I’m disappointed at the lack of a manual with the 2.5 naturally aspirated sedan.
Personally I don't want the added maintenance of a turbo.
Turbos and meant for diesel.
Just give me a normal aspirated gas motor any day. Today's engine can be made high performance without adding turbos.
I'm driving a 15 Malibu 2.5 none turbo.
195 hp 190 tourqe. So very similar cars.
I'm booking a test drive. I'd Iove a manual
Nowadays in california it gets down to 45 degrees at night n mornings 🥶
Did some one not tell her that the first "A" in Mazda, is pronounced as is the second "A," like the A in "car" rather than "cat", or like the second "A" as in Andrea, rather than the first "A" in Andrea. 🙂
Are we just going to ignore 1:40 ?? 😂
Classic mazada W
I wonder if the backseats still lack legroom???
I heard the HP of the 2.5 liter is going up for 2023 to 192? So even more hp!
