Super job man! Beautiful scenery. I am a Mazda guy and love the 3’s a lot. I’m only 5’8” so the smaller interior doesn’t affect me and I don’t haul people much so the lack of rear a/c ducts and charging outlets doesn’t phase me, personally. Love the color combo and the subtle improvements!
We had a 2023 cx-5 premium plus that was totaled by a 4 runner sadly... we just ordered a 2024 carbon edition 3 turbo sedan in ceramic metallic with the terracotta leather.. super excited to see what the turbo can put down...
This is the review I’ve been wanting for a while, this specific trim, highlighting the new 2024 features. I’m not sure if I saw paddle shifters as I’ve heard different things about the Carbon Turbo trim having them or not
But just *how* reliable are turbo engines? With carbon build up, high pressure fuel system, piston rings and "blow by" etc creating slight oil dilution. Other than that and the infotainment/gauge clusters, i absolutely love this car.
The screen looks nice compared to most cars. But I still am not a fan of a stationary screen that sticks up! It always looks better if it’s molded into the dash.
Dude I got my first car and it was a s60 5 cyilder turbo and i LOVED it, i got in a crash and its totatled so time for a new car, definltey gonna own a volvo again in the future maybe even as a project car.
I know there are others that look a bit better but remember 1 important thing!..they do not use those Junk CVTs transmissions like the rest that's a huge deal
Mazda Turkiye stopped importing 3's for years because of bigger than 1.6 liter engines heavily taxed. I hope to see 1.5L turbocharged mazda's in future.
Yeah, I just bought the 6-speed manual in soul red crystal metallic. Would have been nice to be able to pair with the red leather interior but that wasn't an option. I'm not sure why Mazda doesn't allow you to pair any color combinations. Seems like a lost opportunity as I'm sure some buyers will be turned off. I love my car though so I can live with black leather.
I drive a 2024 mazda3 non turbo awd and the rpm will go up when releasing the brake from a complete stop at a traffic stop or something. Does anyone know why that could be? It’s a subtle bump like 200 rpm. The transmission and braking feel smooth aside from that
it might to be to start a slight roll and idol might just not be enough of a kick to get it start rolling before you give it gas but thats based on nothing but my guess
I used to own a 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback Premium Plus Turbo (white w/red interior) and it was a fun car to drive - I should have kept it! I have considered getting another Mazda 3 (preferably the PP Turbo) but at the price point, I would rather get a CX-5 which offers more versatility IMO for that price!
Carbon Turbo doesn’t come with the Bose stereo. You can only get that in the Turbo Premiun Plus trim. Bear in mind that the Carbon Turbo is around $4K cheaper than the Turbo Premium Plus so less equipment is to be expected ,but mechanically is exactly the same. I got a Carbon Turbo a couple months back and have been enjoying it a lot.
@@johnceragioli9671 roughly 33-35k for the bose. around 5k less without it lol. but you also do get the HUD with the premium plus trim if you're into that
it is far away if youre wanting to use the touch screen. but being a 2024 mazda 3 owner myself, i can tell you the turn knob really does the job. it feels really good.
@@felipin.el.detailer no I get it. But what I’m saying is, the screen actually feels great where it’s at. You don’t need to reach out and touch it because the knob really does a great job navigating the screen.
Can’t find any of these in my area and to top it off just to get the Bose sound system you have to pay like $3-4 thousand more… Like why? Then you have it in manual but then it doesn’t get turbo, that makes no sense at all
That is my biggest frustration with the 2022 Honda Civic. Europe has rear vents, North America does not. We have 2 USB charging ports, and I would trade those in a heartbeat for rear vents. Also, no memory seats and no lumbar on the top trim Civic Touring. Booo!
I drive a CX-30, which has basically the same interior as the Mazda3. When compared to similarly priced Japanese cars, the Mazda 3 interior feels extremely premium and modern. In no way shape or form does it feel futuristic though with giant touch screens and capacitive buttons, which may be a benefit or downside depending on your taste.
Shame that the non-turbo doesn't have the same black-out accents & such. Not interested in dealing with the idiosyncrasies & longer-term pitfalls of a turbo engine.
@@Rockito912 Yeah, that was one of the first things I had to do on my 2022 CX-30 Carbon Edition, along with blacking out the silver roof rails, the painted roof between the rails & the lower trapezoid section of painted hatch where license mounts. Looks so much better that way, given the thick black cladding being what it is.
You can actually get the OEM parts in black. The front portion is like $150 - $200. The side mirrors were $50 each. The chrome on the side doors, yeah ull still need to take care of yourself.
There are no longterm pitfalls from turbo engines. They are currently the most efficient and reliable engines today. Maybe in the 80's. But theyre in everything today.
@@eliahmccraig7891 So is GDI & doesn't' mean it is a good thing. A pure GDI turbo engine is a recipe for carbon sludge buildup, even more so than a regular GDI engine that doesn't also include port injection. Go watch the Car Care Nut video on modern turbo engines & how they need to be treated/driven to be decently reliable longer-term. Also, turbo engines really need oil changes every 3K miles to maximize their health/lifespan, & no later than every 5K miles at worst.
The biggest differences: -Wireless carplay -Larger 10.25" display -Partial touchscreen capability -Standard wireless charger in carbon & up trim -USB type C ports -Cruising and Traffic support (Premium Plus Only) -Ceramic Metallic & Zircon Sand new colors -New Select Sport trim -Premium Trim manual only A lot of other tech tweaks, but this is the major stuff. For the most part this is a soft update for the Mazda3 not a refresh.
I'd be very careful purchasing a new Mazda. I bought a new 2022 Mazda3 in 2022, the premium version from Safford Brown Fairfax Mazda. The leather on my driver's seat is changing color, and it has been a month of back and forth between Mazda and the dealership. After submitting numerous pictures and with the dealership's internet not working, Mazda does not want to take care of this. They are saying it is normal wear and tear, and my car is STILL under warranty! Might be heading to the BBB soon.
Because of leather changing color?! Lol good luck trying to win that haha. There are so many factors so it'd be impossible to prove. Like amount of light entering the vehicle daily, parking in direct sunlight, what kind of chemicals have been used on it etc.
You'd think someone who wants to video themselves driving might invest in a used GoPro or some other mount instead of giving a masterclass in 100% distracted driving. Kinda kills the mood a bit.
$32K for a little sedan, ouch. The non-turbo trims are pretty sweet but that weird infotainment setup with the dial ect is a no-go for me still. Had that in my cx-9 and hated it. They need to figure out a way to integrate a larger screen and make the whole UI touchscreen instead of just AA\Carplay. That's the only thing that holds me back from owning another Mazda product.
@@samarjeetsingh4364 why are they calling it carbon turbo? I was considering upgrading based on last year's trims/pricing. I don't want a 40k Mazda 3 so I'm not getting the premium plus.

@@samarjeetsingh4364 I have a 2019 premium hatch AWD. Pricing was better on the turbos last year. It's either this carbon edition or premium plus. I don't think the upgrade is worth it.
@@loganmw perhaps if someone can get a donor manual version of these cars and do a trans swap it could work, its just alot of money/time to transwap it, id only do it if you love driving the car alot
how is mazda going to let their competition redesign their vehicles TWICE before it even redesigns it once? This car is so dated, its not even close to worth the price anymore.
I can't wait to soon get my hands on a mazda 3 for my first car

Thanks! 👍
@@Greyvoyager yes especially if nobody or only children are seated behind you.
Mazda makes some good looking vehicles.
I'll take this I wanted the hatchback but I'm liking the sedan a little bit more now.
Same as well !!! I’m liking the sedan a lot more now.
Jadon, this Mazda 3 is fire. It looks so nice. Thanks
15:55 The incomming phone call from Mario made me laugh

Has,a lot to offer.Sounds great. Is gas tank still 13.2 gal? Good, no- nonsense review.
I hav the 2015 mazda 3 sport i love it im thinking about upgrading it to this
This is the review I’ve been wanting for a while, this specific trim, highlighting the new 2024 features. I’m not sure if I saw paddle shifters as I’ve heard different things about the Carbon Turbo trim having them or not
No paddle shifters in this trim unfortunately, you can still use the shifter though!
Good comprehensive coverage, thanks!… 👍😊
Glad it was helpful!
The black front looks so much better than the silver
Man I do dig that interior!
Finally KODO design for Mazda Productions in 2024!!!
But just *how* reliable are turbo engines? With carbon build up, high pressure fuel system, piston rings and "blow by" etc creating slight oil dilution. Other than that and the infotainment/gauge clusters, i absolutely love this car.
Great point!
Beautiful car ❤ I wish 4wd turbo Mazda 3 sedan was available here in Norway
Maybe one day!
The screen looks nice compared to most cars. But I still am not a fan of a stationary screen that sticks up! It always looks better if it’s molded into the dash.
I would really consider this trim if it had the Bose audio included. Sad not to see it be.
Cool paint color.
That's a lot of power in a small car.. if I wasn't really happy with my Volvo this is what I would be looking at to buy and keep for years and years.
Dude I got my first car and it was a s60 5 cyilder turbo and i LOVED it, i got in a crash and its totatled so time for a new car, definltey gonna own a volvo again in the future maybe even as a project car.
Good job-nice review
Glad you enjoyed it
they seemed to make less sedans I am looking for the Carbon non turbo version but nothing within 250 miles of me
I little more leg room and rear AC/heat vents and im sold.
Not everyone is 6 foot height. It's spacious for average height people.
Lick by offset is 10/10 song.. good choice in music 💯
I know there are others that look a bit better but remember 1 important thing!..they do not use those Junk CVTs transmissions like the rest that's a huge deal
It looks nice, i would consider it if it had the bose. Why make something visually unique but them keep features from it?
I am on the same exact page. How do they not at least give you the Bose for a unquie trim like this.😭
Mazda Turkiye stopped importing 3's for years because of bigger than 1.6 liter engines heavily taxed. I hope to see 1.5L turbocharged mazda's in future.
time to upgrade w/ this variant and color 😍
You should!
Hey Mazda when will you guys release a full sized sedan???
Soon 😉
Just realize no shark fin antenna.😮
Yes, one downside of Mazda is that they don’t make Sirius XM standard.
All nice accept for the back seats mazda always not generous...
Great for ppl that don’t have large families like me.
Yup I’m solo and this is perfect but i do prefer the hatchback
Idk why'd they add the amber back to the headlights
It's called metalic paint. You work for Mazda? I never understood why the people who work for a car dealership know the least about cars.
Used to work in car sales. My used car manager told me car guys starve in car sales. I work in service now because he was right.
Sucks how you can't get that interior combo with other exterior colors
I know!

As far as i know , the word all new should only be used with literally all new design and generation of a car
Paint colour ? Zircon Sand metallic 2:02
The back vents are under the seats i think
I feel this needs one more iteration to reach its perfect design shape exterior-wise AND interior-wise. That screen feels way to far away.
it is far away if youre wanting to use the touch screen. but being a 2024 mazda 3 owner myself, i can tell you the turn knob really does the job. it feels really good.
@@rudyrosales895 mm actually I think the knob is a great idea. I was talking about the screen position.

Any news on 2025 Mazda3? Is there a refresh?
No news yet as we just got the 24’s, but I’d imagine they are due for a facelift in a year or two.

Gloss-black *"B"* pillars!
What color is this? Zircon Sand Metallic? Is it correct?
Yes
it baffles me why you guys in the US don't get rear ac vents while my country has it.
My car has rear vents and another rear heated seats.
That is my biggest frustration with the 2022 Honda Civic. Europe has rear vents, North America does not. We have 2 USB charging ports, and I would trade those in a heartbeat for rear vents. Also, no memory seats and no lumbar on the top trim Civic Touring. Booo!
I may need to go look at a Mazda in person because the cockpits never look good to me on video. They look so dated.

Can you get it with run flats instead?

Quite cheap to mod it if you really like the look. Ppl have been blacking out the silver trim on their mazdas for a long time.
