I think Mazda drivers are generally Sarah fans or Sarah fans generally enjoy Mazdas. I have a 2022 premium plus hatch. I would like to see Sarah refurb a rotary rx or a nice vintage Mazda one day.
New to the channel, loved the review, big fan of Mazda. My first Mazda was a 1980 RX7, great great car. I now have a CX30 and love it, great handling and interior is beautiful. This Mazda 3 Turbo really is nice and it must be fun to drive, like most Mazda cars. Fun Review, like the Squid Score
Those tires are way too skinny for that much power. I bet that has more to do with the sketch handling when you're pushing it. I could be wrong. I'm just throwing it out there.
Mazda's are inherently sketchy. Their body roll makes it feel less than confident feeling. I've yet to drive a mazda, I've owned three, that doesn't have loads of body roll which makes it not confidence inspiring. You hit the nail on the head Sarah, it handles like a Mazda for the general masses. Mazda does that well. I don't see this being a highly sought after tuner car because it is missing key things, like LSD. They are attractive and have decent features, are dependable cars… for the most part. My Miata had a rear end failure. But my two Mazda 3s never had issues. I'd recommend a Mazda 3 of specific years (never first year models) for those who want a dependable vehicle that sits lower than an SUV and has decent utility (in the hatch) and is more affordable than an SUV.
Great car, just bummed Mazda ditch the independent rear suspension for that cheap torsional rear setup. Rear handling gets upset when cornering hard and one goes over a crack or an expansion joint. Other than that, can’t beat the styling inside or out.
Here's the messed up part…. As bad as the handling becomes over 50mph., whether it's the sedan or hatchback body style; doesn't matter. All of its competitors (both body styles) fall short in some significant way, shape or form. Mainly in performance or reliability. No, this is not a MazdaSpeed anything! It's too relaxed and laid back. But it's the best option currently out there in the compact class sedan and hatchback in every category that matters.
Still driving my 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 and still getting a big grin every time. The new 3 Turbo seems to have less space, and loads up on the near-luxury stuff. I'd gladly give up all the soft/fuzzy/faux luxury for a proper suspension, sport tuned engine, and a manual. It's lacking that spirit of Zoom-Zoom, that thing that made previous Mazda's fun even if a bit eccentric. Miss that…
i've got the 2023 Turbo hatch, would a rear swaybar improve the handling in tight situations on curvey roads. Sarah, always great segments been watching you for years, always informative
At the price point…it needs to be able to hang in there till 8/10ths…especially with such a willing engine..too bad it isn't offered with the n/a engine 6 speed gearbox..
Great Review Sarah. Would you buy this car for Lyft Ride Service ??? Iam Considering trading my 2015 Chevy Spark 1 LT it's paid for I like Something a lot nicer. I am in my late 50's
Really awesome detailed review of the great sporty Mazda 3. Just need some extra space in the back of the car. Ok Japanese are short in average : ). Greetings from Greece. New subscriber, Chris
Mazda claims the 2.5t is not available in manual partly because it can't handle the torque, but in the UK you could get the mazda 6 and cx5 with a 2.2 diesel and 6 speed manual. If I remember correctly, it has a bit more torque than the 2.5t

This is the most detailed car review I've seen so far. Amazing work!
Also just got a '21 Mazda 3 Turbo sedan so just learned a lot about my car too.
Buyers can get a six-speed manual if they stick with front-wheel drive. 🙄

Another great review. Still love our Miata! 😏
LOVE 🌹♥️🌹

So no Zoom, Zoom in this Mazda I guess………..
Beetshield.
I love the 3 and the CX30, but as a tall person (6'5"), i hate that you cant get the turbo without a sunroof. Really steams my clams
How tall are you? That car seems small beside you. lol
Whatever happened to your give-it-the-beans channel?
Such a great car. Broke my heart when we traded it in for a SUV. I miss it.

Air filter, downpipe and a quick tune for an extra 25hp will help that little skyactive 4 pot kill any Golf or Fiesta.
We're definitely not sleeping on it
I'd go for an AWD, manual, speed3 version if they had one.

I’m sorry to say there is a massive agenda at play.
Here in Australia the “Car Of The Year” was a KIA All electric 3 tone monster!

I feel like you were Japanese in a past life 🧬
Love those hoop earrings on her.
Very beautiful
Another great review and stunning outfit!
Absolutely sucks how the AWD Turbo model is not available in a manual. WTF Mazda??
this lady should do a review or more then one with Scotty Kilmer .Might be very cool and funny !!!
crazy how they didnt put enkeis on there. i couldnt own a car with chinese wheels
no offense to chinese people i love yall im just a big jdm nerd
Always entertaining seeing you match your outfits to the car colors, classy. Amazing has fantastic you prepare your nails for the review videos 😅😅😅
Love the newer Mazdas but they don't hold any sort of value here in ZA…
I wonder how much of an down payment I'll need 😅
Omg… Now I know what car to buy😮
At the price point…it needs to be able to hang in there till 8/10ths…especially with such a willing engine..too bad it isn't offered with the n/a engine 6 speed gearbox..

It’s a crime they don’t offer a turbo AWD with a manual. I hope the new Mazda Spirit Racing trims offer it. But I doubt they will.
too many cute special effects.
I'd slide in that.
The Mazda's nice too.
Thx Sarah.
Unfortunately it only comes in automatic and $10K+ overpriced!

If it doesn’t have three pedals, it’s just an overpriced golf cart
