It's good to see a sedan review. I would take this over the hatchback.
I just ordered one of these for myself. When I test drove it, I absolutely fell in love with it. I loved the look, the handling, the kick the engine has. I wanted a very professional looking car that wasn't too expensive, and the mazda 3 sedan fit the bill perfectly. The ONLY issue I found is mostly unique to me. I am well over six feet tall, and I am very comfortable in that. Despite that, if anyone needs to sit behind me, they have no leg room. So, if I am driving any more than two adults, one person is getting squished. As I said though, very unique to me and most people won't have as much of an issue.
I have a 2023 base Turbo. I am glad I got it because they no longer sell a base Turbo. This is actually a good deal and you should be able to get $500 to $1000 off msrp easy. For the haters on here… this ride is MADE in Japan. This isn’t cheap to manufacture and is worth every penny.
Beautiful winter day along the Wasatch Front. My only disappointment, no stick, no manual transmission. I like to grind through the gears.
Definitely a much classier looking sedan than a Honda Civic Touring, or a Toyota Corolla. The Civic is now more mature, but still has hints of being more juvenile, the Toyota Corolla looks pretty decent but it's powertrain is pretty gutless, no I didn't mentioned the GR Corolla because it's way too expensive. The Mazda 3 sedan turbo is the compact sedan for mature buyers who want to enjoy European road manners without the European high price of entry sedans. Only makor weakness is the price of entry for the turbo model is a bit steep. If I were on the market for a classy looking mature compact sedan this Mazda 3 turbo sedan would be my number one choice 👍.
I own 2019 awd non turbo and a 2023 awd p plus turbo. Both are exceptional cars for the money but the Turbo is fun as hell. Highly recommend it.
A friend of mine actually traded his Zonda Cinque for one of these.
I had the '21 CX30 turbo and it was torquey, quiet and luxurious! I miss it, but the oil issue kept popping up. Hopefully they sorted that out by now.
If u don’t need fancy u can get the FWD non turbo well equipped for $26k… My wife has a 22 like that and luvs it.
but the performance ...
I owned this car in a platinum quartz, 2.5 turbo sedan and man, I still miss those days when I was behind that wheel…I own now CX-30, nothing against it, love my CX-30 too, but I’d still take Mazda3 Turbo, it’s just more luxurious and more fun..CX-30 is a bit more practical with extra height clearance..I even chose Mazda3 Turbo over Audi A3 base..
I have this vehicle. zero regrets
BTW the infotainment system IS touchscreen.
He’s showing a 2023 model
I went into the dealership wanting the sedan but I ended up getting the Hatchback turbo. Why? Basically it came down to two things I play a lot of hockey and golf and the hatchback makes life easier getting stuff in and out. The other major reason is the Hatch Backs are made in Japan, the Sedans are made in Mexico. Nothing against Mexican factories but I will chose Japanese made every single time if the choice is mine. Its a very fun car to have as a daily driver, I have been impressed with it handles itself in snow as well.
Isn’t this the 2023 model? 2024 got wireless charging pad and redesigned HAVC control panel
And wireless apple carplay
This is definitely a 2023
I've owned 5 Toyota's and loved them all, but I'm thinking about trying something new, that I know will still be reliable and fun to drive. This may be the one.
Just a heads up, this isn't a 2024 model. All turbo models for 2024 come standard with the larger 10.25" infotainment screen. This one has the 8.8" screen.
Yeah. New 10.25 inch is touchscreen too . He’s put wrong year on a few different videos
There’s better rear visibility on the sedan over the hatchback too.
I want to buy the sedan Turbo but its nowhere to be found, I dont think many were made
Hey what's happening the Mazda hatchback turbo it should come with a six speed manual transmission instead of automatic 😮😢
Ben, I mentioned this to you previously. When announcing the power output for the 2.5 liter, four cylinder, turbocharged engine, it would appreciated (and more accurate) if you would please reveal the horsepower nd torque figures for both regular and premium gasoline. With premium fuel, the 2.5 turbo puts out 256 hp and 320 lbs/ft of torque. On regular gasoline, the horsepower and torque figures are significantly less: 227 horsepower and 310 torque. 29 less horsepower and 10 lbs/ft torque are enough to affect performance and cause me to buy premium gas. Ben, you're one of the best reviewers on TH-cam (if not the best), and I am a LT subscriber and follower. I believe these numbers are big enough to warrant mention at the beginning of your road test. Thanks, hermano.
only the cx-5 and cx-50 have the 256hp engine. 2024 mazda 3 and cx-30 have 250hp engine.
Potato, potatoe
Which is best car in your opinion?
This car is very nice! Definitely a luxury vehicle for a low price.
Would you trade your 4Runner for a Mazda? If yes or no....reasons? Im flippy floppy on a Cx5 vs 4Runner. Longevity vs mpg vs capability? Do a video about that? If not. Still love your vids👍
4 runner will last the longest, no doubt. If you got gas money, that’s the choice! IMO of course
You didn’t ask, but I’d suggest the CX-50 over the Cx-5 if you’re cross shopping with a 4Runner. Cx-50 can tow 3500 pounds vs CX-5’s 2000. 4 Runner can tow 5000. 😅 CX-50 appears to be around 20 grand less though 🫠
I’m gonna buy one of these. All these new cars are too slow, glad this one can move a little.
This looks much cleaner than the hatchback, never really liked how the back of the hatchback looked.
I was about to say as you drove off “I hope you’re going to the gas station”😅
For real, I think I to myself, “Ben, don’t drive too far!” 😂😂
Hey the Mazda sedan should come with a six speed manual transmission for the sedan 😮😢
peak torque at only 2000rpm should have been mentioned
for 35k prolly close to 40k otd, a tesla model 3 is def a shout
35k for compact car wow that’s crazy
That understandable coming from someone who probably drives a Chevy spark.
@@dvrn1wtf is your issue dawg lmao
He says it’s a 35k economy car, wtf?
It cost me 45 k here in Ireland Takumi e skyactiv x full option with some extras
I had a 15 Kia Forte5 SX, came with a turbo 1.6 making 201hp with 195tq with 6 speed manual, brand new off the lot in 2015 for $23K. Hard to believe a some what comparable car almost 10 years later is $10k more. + the Kia had a touch screen, heated seats, back up camera, dual exhaust, limited slip differential. Damn I'm kind of missing it now tbh.
The sedan is far more attractive than the hatch.
225 HP Fast AF.
"Com'on, man"
Integra better choice
I wish $35 was economy car money to me. You add tax title and license. Put down $5,000. You still have a car payment of around $700 plus insurance fuel and maintenance. That is not economy cost for a entry level car. As nice as the Mazda is. Is it a grand a month nice. Not to me.
the hatchback does not have more space than the sedan. the sedan has more space. and i prefer the look of the sedan. as a matter of fact i have owned a 2021 model gt turbo sedan in Canada.
This is a 2023, not a '24
35k is not economy pricing, you might as well get a Kia K5 GT for that price.
Not if you want something that lasts. My Kia has been a POS past 90k miles. Looking to get rid of it ASAP just don’t know what I’m gonna replace it with yet
@@coflyer2949 maybe yours is an old gen Kia, everything they made past Optima days is built to last. on par with Honda and Toyota
Im on your side with the sedan over the hatchback. I have never seen a hatchback of any make I like, I think they are all ugly and scream economy car, but personal preference I suppose.
Excellent car, expensive, but small.
How can you say the torque is so good at 15mph...😂
Its not that fast. 0 to 60 around 6 seconds without brake torque.
Yeah that car is not worth the money get the sport with no turbo for 25 k not the 35 k for that turbo
Slow down , way too much coffee.
7.41 "economy car pricing " well lets do just some math shall we. Canada Mazda website clocks this CHEAP vehicle at just 43 thousand dollars. anyone can afford this right? oh and in Canada you pay 13% sales tax plus 6.9 % finance rate if you are a loser and cant put up the money up front. its just 58K when you add it all in! lol.
I own a 2024 Mazda 3 HB turbo PP edition and it is definitely not fast… the torque is nice but it is definitely not a fast car by any means.
I just can't believe your not headed to a gas station. 👎🏻Talk about being destructive.
Destructive? How?.......
Its still over priced. And it should be under 30k more closer to 26k
Why don’t you get the Honda or Toyota since you want cheaper alternatives?
This is the top model with the turbo model. You can get the base model for around 26k or if you want cheaper get a Corolla or Sentra
i had a 23 mazda 3 turbo sedan. loved the luxury and the speed. perfect car but I needed more mileage due to work. My hybrid XLT black appearance package maverick was finally built so I traded my sweet mazda 3. toughest decision I had to make in a while. 40mpg though is sick!
My non-turbo '14 Mazda 3 got 40mpg on the highway. Still fun to drive, too. They've gone a little backwards on the mileage.
@@lumberjeff0 yep. if the mileage was there then id stick with the mazda. they have come a long way in quality but I need that mileage
looks so dated. exterior looks like it's from 2003!
