    Que I’ve also been meaning to let you know that I just got my ITS, and bro it’s truly a dream come true. LCM with red seats and it’s everything you guys have been hyping and more for me.
    Your ownership vids were the first I watched from an owners perspective. Your dealership videos also really, really put me on edge when dealing with them, and man I gotta say I already got soured on the dealership experience: I had them install my accessories, just the carbon spoiler, mudflaps, and heated steering wheel… and one of their techs somehow keyed chips out of the piano black in my steering wheel while they were installing the heated steering wheel.
    While it’s no where near as bad as your experience with them messing up your oil change and gaslighting you, just that minor thing for me already means I’m getting my first oil change done by my own mechanic. Never taking my car in to them again outside of any warranty claims. Otherwise though, it’s a total dream.
    Of course thanks to you I now also want a Miata and WRX, because both cars were also my dream cars to own 🤣. Nah but seriously thanks for your vids and keeping it real with your reviews 🙏

      O really appreciate that 🫡. The ITS is amazing. Hoping you don’t run into any issues with the car or service for it

    I think the Mazda design language is so interesting because I think goes all the way back to the late model rx7 influencing the rx8 and that influencing the rest of the models in the 2000s and then it went from that to the ND Miata influencing the styling of all of their current cars

    I love mazdas. They need this in the turbo engine with manual and give us a speed3 again. These cars are very reliable and fit tall people excellent. 😂

      They’re really missing out not having a Speed3. Those cars were so fun

    How does this compare to the Integra A-spec? They seem pretty similar on paper even though the Integra costs more.

    I love that Mazda is still making what is (sadly) now the only remaining NA manual cars in the US market. I was seriously considering the Mazda 3 manual because it has all the modern tech and amenities I really wanted in my first new car. But I also felt like I’d be missing out on that fun to drive factor the ITS and Hyundai N have. The 3 is way nicer to look at though than the N 100%.

    I have this car in the same color but in the sedan, without turbo though. Had it since 2020 it's such a good car for the price, and handles very good. I love to speed in it lol

    Thanks for sharing this Mazda 3 Que. Being in California got cold just watch the cold street in Michigan! Nice interior and too bad the quality of the Subaru Impresa RS hatch is not up to the Mazda standards.

    Everyone should swap out those stock tires for 225's or 235's. Makes the drive a bit more spirited. I got the AWD turbo btw

    Man I wish Mazda would bring back the Mazdaspeed3, that being said I agree with you that this care is an adequate daily driver and it checks many boxes so kudos to Mazda for making cars like these still with a manual gearbox.

    I love the Mazda3, I had an 18 Grand Touring 6M. It wasn't much hp but it was fun. I only sold it to get an 02 IS300 SportCross.
    I plan to get the hatchback for my son cause i think the sedan is built in Mexico
