I test drove it. It is great but needs a touch more power. Even if it just had variable valve timing for a different cam setup it would have made a difference. I couldn't drop my hard earned cash for an engine so boring. A turbo would be perfect.
agreed... in reality most guys will not launch their cars like that many times throughout ownership. having the best balanced car will give more smiles per mile
For the people that kinda looks down on the 4-banger Mustang, remember this: this 4-pot Ecoboost Mustang is FASTER than a Convertible Mustang GT one Mustang generation before, equal to the previous gen coupe GT's 0-60, and annihilates every older "normal" Mustang variants with nothing left on the table to be debated except for engagement (does not include bespoke tuned editions, or stuff like the Terminator, Cobra R, Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 befause of course)
That’s why the only Mustang I have from the G6 family is the EB PP I bought 4/15. I sold to my son to buy a GT PP, then a GT350 and then a GT500 CFTP. I sold them all and then bought back the EB PP and have made it a dedicated track car. Overachiever motor and yes the best handling since it has the least weight over the front tires. Wider wheels/tires, larger intercooler, and added an engine oil cooler as heat mitigation is inadequate for track use otherwise. Not as fast as the 5.0s on the straights, however under braking and cornering… ❤
I have a soft spot for the mazda3 but in every comparison video i've seen it underperforms. Even with all that torque I can't help but think its the transmission and gearing ratio that lets it down. Awesome video as always!
@@paulblack9878 Same, exactly. Even with the turbo, I think Mazda is trying to make it more a budget luxury car than a hot hatch unfortunately. I do think its interior beats every other car here, and exterior every car but the mustang. (Although I am very biased)
@octogintillion ya, the interior and a few other things are probably better. It's more sport luxory than sport. Gotta make tradeoffs to keep it in that price range. They probably decided they couldn't compete with a really cheap/reliable car like the corolla and couldn't make it sportier than say a mustang so their trying to create their own sport luxory at a lower price.

@@octogintillion They absolutely are. I love Mazda but their brand direction is caught in a weird duality of trying to have the best driving vehicle in each segment but also not committing to making a performance car apart from the Miata, and defining a Miata as that is a bit of a stretch.

from my experience the Mazda and Subaru are the cars to get, for daily existence the Mazda is peak and the Subaru will get you round a gravel road or bad weather without trying
The Mazdas appearance is by far the most interesting. By the numbers it absolutely should be included but much like how people will cross shop a same year S2000, Corvette, and Mercedes SL55 it couldnt be running a more different race. Begs the question what a tuning shop could do with it though
The turbo's been on the market since 21, there's no "common tune". Handful of companies are putting out a bigger turbo, but nothing game changing. the actual downfall is the transmission and final drive ratio in the hatchback. From what I recall, there's actually a different ratio in the sedan that's *slightly* better for drag racing because it stretches out the gears just a bit more to avoid an extra shift. Now I believe out of Malaysia there's a company making a supercharger for the naturally aspirated 2.5, and that brings it pretty close to the turbo. That sounds pretty fun
It also amazes me that WRX is not far behind Type R even tho it's not a STi or as powerful as the last gen JDM spec (WRX VAG JDM spec has 296 hp and 400 Nm of torque), please Subaru, please release WRX STi for the VB generation

Congratulations on this amazing editing and production. Feels like this level of production skill should be the standard for quality car reviews and car content in this day and era.
I've been driving a new rental '24 EcoBoost Mustang for a couple months now, and while I wouldn't buy a Mustang that doesn't have a V8, these newer turbo Mustangs are actually pretty quick, as you can see in this video. Before the video started, I really did expect the Mustang to win. Too bad there was no roll race. Not sure about the cars with High Performance Package, but regular EcoBoosts are limited to about 118 mph unfortunately. Great video, as usual!
People keep knocking the Ecoboost engines from Ford, but they really are surprisingly good. A shame they got rid of the manual option for it, but it's probably for the best. People buying a base model Mustang generally just want the sport car aesthetics and enough power to make them feel like they're fast, but don't necessarily care as much about the driving dynamics and micromanaging the poor car. Seems like Ford did themselves justice this time around. I wonder when they'll decide to revisit the drivetrain from the Fusion Sport in something more people want to own.
As interesting would be seeing these head to head with some of those. I know an 02 911 turbo with the tiptronic does a mid 12 second quarter. And that was very quick in its day. You could humble a number of cars that are quickly reaching their classic car price bubble.
13.5 @105mph AT HAGERTY!?! That's an insane time for the manual Elantra N. One of the best I've ever seen. Maybe it was octane learned, etc because Caranddriver got 13.5 @106 for the FL5 Type R Also 4.9 seconds 0-60!?! Unheard of for a manual N
I want to hear Cammisa discuss the difference between dumping the clutch and slipping it with the engine revved up, because he always talks about dumping it
I drove the WRX, and I slipped it a little. That was fastest because it builds boost. The flat clutch dump happens with no boost, because there is no load yet. Still, it’s a huge sudden load on the drivetrain. Don’t do this at home….much.
The Mustang is a cheap and fast righteous hero, while the Elantra N is the best balance between practicality and speed. The Subaru WRX is a reliable companion in any environment, and if you choose the Golf GTI, you are even promised comfort. The Mini's charm will never fade away, and the Mazda 3 will make every day fun without sacrificing anything. But if you want to be a hero who enjoys driving around in a real sports car every day, the GR86 is the only choice.
I only watched this because I like Jason. And although I still have a Boxster S, Z3 3.0, rx8 and three E46, I'm more of a motorcycle guy and they can all go 0 to 60 in the 3 second range and quarter miles that will beat these speedsters. And all my bikes are under $3,500!
I’m continually amazed by the cinematography of these shows. Jason getting out of the car at the end of the drag race is pure theater and genius. And who doesn’t love cheap speed. I’ve had half of these as rental cars and honestly they’re lovely.

In the first race the Elantra N wasn’t even in the N mode 😂
They probably got it octane learned and didn’t dare touch any buttons afterwards.
I was completely unaware that you could still buy a new car for under $35k.
Thing is, you can’t! At least around me
That’s hilarious 😅 But not a pickup truck 😮
You can get new cars for under 20k in the us they just aren't performance cars.

yup. Don't be a sheep and listen to the masses.

Would have been cool to see the LR RWD Model 3, which is $34,990 after rebate. Looks like it would have had very similar numbers to the mustang.
Jason, you lost weight? Looking good man! Starting to look even better than Adam Sandler himself! Great video bud!
The common traffic drags! I genuinely appreciate this.
We love ourselves some Cammisa goodness+
Whats crazy is those quarter mile times would easily fit V8 sports cars of the 90s.
We got N‘winner!
13.5 @105mph AT HAGERTY!?! That's an insane time for the manual Elantra N. One of the best I've ever seen. Maybe it was octane learned, etc because Caranddriver got 13.5 @106 for the FL5 Type R
Also 4.9 seconds 0-60!?! Unheard of for a manual N
Always an immediate watch when Jason is on. Thank you Hagerty for continuing to support these nuts.😊
Thank you for doing it with cars most can actually afford. 40k + tax for base Stang, 33k + Tax for Elantra N in Canada.
Why is there 2 cup holders on the Mazda 3 turbo engine? 😂
One for oil one for beer
The video I was looking for. Awesome job guys!
"In search of new head gaskets." - Lol!
The production quality is top tier
If Australia brought the Mazda 3 Turbo over I would buy one
Great comparison test, thanks! My Lada cost me around $25k and it does 13.4 on 1/4 mile, so not bad, only Mustang is faster. :)
🤔🤔
I want to hear Cammisa discuss the difference between dumping the clutch and slipping it with the engine revved up, because he always talks about dumping it
@@dj_laundry_list the main difference is how much you like the gears of your transmission staying inside the case lol
I drove the WRX, and I slipped it a little. That was fastest because it builds boost. The flat clutch dump happens with no boost, because there is no load yet. Still, it’s a huge sudden load on the drivetrain. Don’t do this at home….much.
I adore this channel
As always awesome video !!!! Keep up the great work and brilliant ideas !!
Greetings from Germany 👋
Why do I love these videos
Great episode. Great smiles.
Love the underhood cupholders on the Mazda
classic hagerty beer opener video
The driving dynamic of the 86 is so good. Driving patho alone trumps the straightline acceleration
Crazy an ecoboost mustang is as fast as a mid 2000s super car
wow this is such a well put together video
The Mustang is a cheap and fast righteous hero, while the Elantra N is the best balance between practicality and speed.
The Subaru WRX is a reliable companion in any environment, and if you choose the Golf GTI, you are even promised comfort.
The Mini's charm will never fade away, and the Mazda 3 will make every day fun without sacrificing anything.
But if you want to be a hero who enjoys driving around in a real sports car every day, the GR86 is the only choice.
BEST INTRO EVER .
In search of new head gaskets, haaa, still laughing. Love it!
TH-cam: Cammisa
Me: Ah yes!
I love these types of videos! Everyone can relate to a $35,000 car 😂❤
See Jason +
hagerty = must click
I only watched this because I like Jason. And although I still have a Boxster S, Z3 3.0, rx8 and three E46, I'm more of a motorcycle guy and they can all go 0 to 60 in the 3 second range and quarter miles that will beat these speedsters. And all my bikes are under $3,500!
