I got my hands on one of those recently and I was shocked at how popular my review was, stick shifting cars need to be more popular these days it makes you way more alert when driving not heated seats that massage you
Just got the 6-speed stick shift in soul red crystal metallic. I have absolutely no regrets parting with the $33k USD. Nicest car I've owned. Love the exterior design and the luxurious interior equally. I've always preferred compact cars for their maneuverability and ease of parking.
Everybody complains about the 3 not having rear vents, it does have rear heater ducts from under the front seats that will definitely (at least) blow AC in the rear in the bi-level mode. 👌 Just ordered my 2024 Mazda 3 AWD Turbo in Soul Red Crystal. 😎😎Can't wait for the 3 months transit from Japan to Canada. Congrats on this great review ! 👍👍
@@alexcollins2251 So far the date is March 12th, but it's not confirmed. They see it's still at the Japan port, but it's probably on the boat between Japan and Vancouver hopefully. Already have a bunch of stuff to install once I get it 😎
ordered mine on black friday. delivery projected for january, which i doubt will happen)) as an adult with no kids, backspace is plenty to keep with my hobbies. got it in white, will look great with black aero kit that they offer.
Also a single adult with no kids & mine is a white turbo PP; I've had it for just over a year. I think you're gonna be very, VERY happy with it! Reply & let us know?
Really thorough review, thanks! I’m still torn between this and the GTI. Seems like this would be more reliable, but the GTI would fit my tall husband better.
I'll say this: If you want to save the money and just go with the non-turbo variant of the 3, that's perfectly ok. It's still a GREAT option. That said, DO NOT give in and test drive a turbo because once you do, there's no going back. The extra power you get is an absolute game changer!
This is a fact. I did a 2.5 NA 30 minutes before the turbo and the choice quickly became out of my hands. Truly, though, the NA didn't have enough pep to begin with. I felt like it needed more power the whole time.
I have the Machine Gray Premium Plus and i absolutely love the car! I’ll be honest 36k is a lot for a hatchback but the quality, the features and the turbocharged AWD goodness is worth it.
I was interested in a Veloster turbo for the longest time because they're so compact & stylish, then the Mazda 3 hatch pooped up on my radar. Got my turbo PP last December & I haven't looked back once. Absolutely LOVE it!
The Mazda three is a great little car. I think this is the best generation so far.
It really is great!

Facts over here in Chicago alot of car jackers that's why I like 80s and o0s cars better than these newer ones but u can barely find them

Thanks for tuning in!!
@redboy81 have you got a delivery date confirmation? just ordered one as well in Canada!

@@alexcollins2251 I just got it delivered yesterday 😎👌🤌

I prefer the sedan in this generation, it's just much better looking, especially the rear end.
They are handsome in sedan form
It really is a subjective topic. I happen to love the hatchback design especially in the rear. The curves are just beautiful.

Nice! Yeah it’ll definitely suit you well! Perfect for two people and some occasional friends.

Thank you! Yeah very hard decision! I like the AWD this has!
The design still looks great, if a bit long on tooth. They should really make a performance version of this!
I soo agree!!
Earned a new subscriber Bern . Enjoyed your video . Which coupes would you say have best sound systems ?
Thank you very much! Hmm, any luxury coupe will have a good sound system, none off the top of my head!
❤❤❤😊😮 how I wish it could come with a pulled up hand brake instead of the push button brake 😢
Right!
I really like the car. Hopefully I’m able to get the right color I want.
You will loooove it!
I never see the sedan model on the road when I think I see it its a Mazda 6
Yeah right looks like a mini Mazda6
I think the previous gen Mazda 3 looks better. They compromised too much for the design imo but the big c pillar idk
Yeah I totally agree
This generation still looks good...if you get the sedan.
Excellent review sir. Very well done.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your unbiased reviews.
I appreciate that! I try to be as open minded as I can haha
been wanting one the moment i saw one in a dealership, hopefully in the next few years ill be able to get one or a cx50. beautiful cars
Yeah they’re such nice cars. I like the CX-50 too!
I happen to know someone who has a polymetal grey non turbo sedan for your review consideration. 😉

Nice!!! Excellent!
As much as I love the soul red crystal metallic, I feel like it looks weird on the M3. Maybe I just like it on the MX-5 too much
That's fair! Haha
Very good review I just got mine a week ago, same color (polymetal gray) with red leather interior, the best review I saw for this model! Congrats!
Thank you!! Very good choice!
What’s the driving range everyone is getting with the turbo? TIA.
I would get about 250mi from a tank
@BernonCars that's the thing. The EPA MPG times 12.7 gallon equals much more than that. Why is the math and actual 250 mile range not adding up?
Interesting. I think it's because real-world MPG's were different than the EPA's suggestions.
@BernonCars okay, even if we use the lower MPG of 23 to account for real world MPG. 23 mpg x 12.7 =292.
@@Jasonboyee i dont think the car's computer takes reserve gas into account. Theres like 1-2 gallons left when your fuel indicator is at empty.
you're the first reviewer that's not had all positive things about the bose centerpoint in this car!
Interesting!! It’s pretty good but I’ve heard better!
Good review, like the presentation
Much appreciated!
Amazing job brother. 👍🏿
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Great review!! love your channel!
Thank you I appreciate that!!
with a tune, thisll beat for an integra for sure.
