Great vid, but i really wanted to see the effect regular gas has on the MPG. My dad has this car, and it runs fine on regular but his fuel economy averages 24mpg in mostly highway driving. He has never broken 30mpg on any drive.
Good to know it is on winter tires. BTW I can't hear the term 'hot hatch' without shedding a tear about the sad and sorry fact Toyota thinks we are undeserving of the GR Yaris.
@@hunterkyle2021 Toyota probably makes more money in one month in the USA than they make all year in Europe . Why should they get the best affordable sports car Toyota has made in decades while we don't?
I'm sure that the only negative with the cruise control is you taking off your seat belt at 72 mph to take your jacket off while driving 72 mph, that is the negative.
I traded in my original Mazda 6 with a SKYACTIV 2.5 for a 2018 Turbo that was marked down on the lot in 2019. The fuel economy difference is negligible for the power difference, it's by far my favorite motor I have ever owned.
@@Shlongerdonger69 SKYACTIV 2.5L with a Turbo, debuted on the updated CX-9 added to the Mazda 6 and CX-5 top trims for the 2018 model year, at least in North America/Canada.
This is my car almost exactly, 2021 turbo hatch, red interior but machine gray. This past winter I got 33.4 mpg using the same formula on a 156 mile round trip. Of course when I say "winter" I mean winter in Texas which usually means sunny and about 65f😂. Also I'm obviously not running winter tires, and that trip was on month old Pirelli P zero AS 4 tires and at least 3/4 tank premium, rest was 87 octane. I've found there isn't much detectable (butt Dyno) difference in power, but I do get slightly better gas mileage running premium so it balances out if the price difference isn't too great.
Nice Review-I like this vehicle......& would consider it, but have a bad knee......& it having such LOW ground clearance~ I see that as a problem. But I did go see it months ago at a local dealership & it’s VERY NICE👍🏼.
Yup, CX-30 is for you. Performance and handling are still quite good with the lifted suspension (I test drove one before buying my 3 turbo) yet it is easier to get in and out of. I don't have a bad knee, but I am 6'1" which means I do have to get pretty low to get in my 3.
Mine get some garbage gas mileage. In the city and on the interstate and I don't even do spirited driving. I keep 93 octane in it. Idk if there's a breaking period on this engine. But I hope it get better
@@1RaVeN1FTW still not good. Only way I get good gas mileage is when I'm on the interstate usen the adaptive cruise control. City mileage still not good
I just got back from a 30 hour road trip to Colorado, I was stopping every 2 hours to fill the tank cause this thing was consuming like crazy!!! I had never stopped so frequently in any other vehicle.
First thing that popped into my mind when you were putting gas is ELECTRONICS in GAS STATION NOOOOOOO.... then I remembered that your action cam is probably air tight (waterproof) and is no relative danger :DD
@@emilemouannes2236 guess you shouldn't have your phone with you... or even the gas pump itself which has electronics in it... or the car which also has electronic components...
This is best car on market right now
I also like there MAZDA 6 SEDAN😃
Idk civic sport touring hatchback would be my go to. Way better fuel economy and storage
I have one, and it is super quiet on the freeway with stock tires, and hte interior is amazing.
I guess in the summer with all season tires we can expect a 10% improvement which would translate to 34mpg. That's pretty good I would say.

you gotta granny it and let the cruise control do its magic

Hopefully we are going to get a GR E210 Corolla though!
@@hunterkyle2021 We get the Civic Type R, Golf R and Veloster N. Only Toyota is shortchanging us.
@@rightlanehog3151 I know but its rumored in 2022 toyota is bringing a GR corolla here

Mazda made a turbo in 2018?

Bro this mazda is way better than a veloster
I have a 2022 Santa Cruz Limited and I put Falken winter tires on and my mpg dropped by around 5 mpg.
250hp and over 30 mpg its impressive
Actually now a 2018 mustang GT with over 400 HP get 32-34 mpg on highway
@@Justaeuropeanmankeep in mind, your mustang is not AWD...The mazda is.

Try a CX-30. It's basically a lifted 3 and has the SKYACTIV Turbo motor as an option.

I mightve missed it but was this an awd model?

Can we get an update on how your gas mileage has been? Has it gotten better?
