If I could only afford it 😩 guess I’ll have to keep making RUclips videos and get paid from that 😅
I really like the black shirt with white print and the white with black print so I’ll guess I have to get it asap :)
Those shirts are sick
Y'all should credit the music you use at the start!
@@Berichar88 in my videos I credit the music I use
I test drove this car. It is phenomenal. The infotainment, HUD was crystal clear, ride was very stable and comfy. It is fast too. If u dont review cars for a living it is fast.
Just leased a Black Turbo Hatchback...super nice car. It's a Hot Hatch for the more mature ;). Rides and handles very well and very quick, but it won't win very many drag or autocross races. Could definitely use more back seat room but then...who cares lol.
@@rdhqcpro9751 lol, that's right
I own a 2020 Jeep srt w 10k miles on it. I could fit the bill like these two reviewers and I too believe the Mazda 3 2.5 turbo IS fast. They sound scripted and when he mentions his shirt at 2:40 it made me cringe alittle; in part because I just finished watching a notable review of this car where the conclusion was “it’s fast”.
they did the same thing with the fusion sport. fusion sport will do 0-60 somewhere between 4.9 and 5.3 seconds, which is almost as fast as the V6 stinger, yet they kept saying that they "didn't mind the speed" and that it was "dad fast." thats faster than any affordable midsize sedan on sale, when it came out in 2017 or now. similarly, the mazda competes most closely with things like the wrx, gli, gti, and the civic si kind of?? and its not significantly slower than any of those and has a more premium feel than any of them
@@rdhqcpro9751 and who do drag or autocross races? Are you even serious?
AWD manual cars are sooo hard to find, basically limited to a subaru now. Please mazda please
Edit: im talking about a brand new car off the lot, subaru’s, jeep’s and golf r (in north america)

Should I release a Mazdaspeed version with more power and a manual transmission?

@Bucky Fiden Yeah, the C pillar looks terrible, the previous generation looked much better. Come to think of it, the new Corolla hatch looks better than this.
Wife wanted the Camry, I wanted this. This car made me forget that I was married.
Be a real man and buy the car you want wtf. I picked myself up a Camaro with no issue, and the wife likes it too.
Meet in the middle with the Mazda6 Turbo
@@SSC3034 will it be out soon?
@@b3r15ky it's been out, only thing is that it only comes in FWD
That’s sad. My wife slowly turned into a bit of an enthusiast after owning a 2015 Mazda 3 hatch. She has a 2019 hatch currently and loves it.
As someone who sells Mazdas for a living, I am so happy to have these on our lot simply because of the number of times someone hasn't bought a car because I had to answer the "Is there a turbo version" question with a "no". Based on my experience, when Mazda says they aren't going after the GTI and such I actually believe them simply by virtue of the customer base typically interested in the 3. The type of person I see normally buying the 3 isn't about the sportiness but knows just enough about torque and power and awd vs fwd to want the performance the turbo has. And to top it off, the customer base of the 3 really is the people who *want* the BMW or Audi (we've stolen soooooo many sales from the Audi dealer literally across the street from us) but aren't into forking over the cash for one.
I agree with this. I’ve got cash, but I’m frugal. I want the luxury but I want bang for buck. I’d love to have a little more playfulness in it though. It doesn’t have to be a race car, but a manual would be nice or at least a better automatic with less quirks.

At first I thought Mazda's strategy was a little weird, but it does make sense. The eco-car category restricts you to certain types drivetrains and chassis designs (most people just buy civics and corollas anyway). Moving a step up will appeal to those that want something nicer than a Civic or Corolla, but don't want to pay the entry level luxury price up front and overtime in repair costs.
I might be the minority then buy when I had a NA 2017 Mazda 6 I was really excited about the turbo. I test drove a 2018 GT with the turbo and was so disappointed. Despite the increase in power and especially torque I noticed almost no difference when accelerating in traffic. The only time I did notice a difference was when I brake boosted it and launched it. I drive manual mode 99% of the time so just stuck with my car. I have a bmw now and would never go back to Mazda until they have quicker offerings. But I still think Mazda is the best looker in its class
Everyone wants a manual but no one is actually buying them.
Manual is still selling like hotcakes here in SEA

@Zfb Tln Fr Fr
@Zfb Tln Yeah and performance hatchbacks are an outlier market to begin with. 40% manual uptake on the Golf sportwagen in Canada proves that. :)
-Another Manual Mazda owner
@Zfb Tln Which is exactly what people in the comments are attempting to do? Car markets aren't monolithic, just because 95% of all cars are sold with an automatic doesn't disprove the existence of a market for manual hot hatches. This is akin to saying "It doesn't make sense for VW to offer a manual for the GTI because most people just buy CRVs and RAV4s in automatics."
As a 2010 Speed3 owner, the demos for this car does not call for a manual. Honestly, i'd buy this as a replacement for my car if I did not have kids. Fantastic DD.
@Zfb Tln I'm not trying to be rude, but you aren't providing new information despite writing that much. Everybody understands that manuals aren't high volume sellers and in many market segments aren't worth developing. Nobody asks for a manual CRV. The point is that Mazda said they might offer a manual if there is demand. People are commenting to demonstrate their demand. Similarly, I use the example of the GTI because the Golf and Mazda 3 occupy a nearly identical segment of the market and VW demonstrates that you can make money selling a manual in this segment.
Mazda, keep doing what you're doing ! You're really turning around.
I've moved away from Mazda as a brand recently, having owned two 3s in a row. (I wanted an SUV that actually looked like an SUV, Mazdas design language doesn't work for me in that regard.) The one thing that always tends to bug me is the flak the rotary knob for the infotainment system gets. It IS weird at first but you WILL get used to it and it IS the easiest, most intuitive infotainment interface I've ever used in a vehicle. Thank you for not just canning it in this review.
Looks like their new CX-50 is going for a more aggressive design
All I want for Christmas is a manual Mazda 3 turbo with AWD 😄
You're going to wait for a long time

When they launched it neither one was very impressed. But just like anything turbocharged, a tune is going to wake this car up like crazy
@Trevon Adams Not exactly hard to barely edge out a CVT WRX.
That said, there's more to zoom zoom than mashing the gas and it accelerating well enough.
This car looks like it says "ehhh, let's not" any time you try to have fun.
Thumbs up if you catch Yuri saying “I m Jacob” so that he can stay in rhythm to say “we re going for a drive”.

Dude deadass 😂😂 if Corksport sells aftermarket parts for it im getting one
Nobody is going modify an automatic Mazda, even if it has a turbo. Just get the MazdaSpeed 3.
Awd and Auto. Hello power loss 🤢🤮
Rear Torsion Beam setup is a huge disadvantage for getting the suspension dialed in.
I could never be a car reviewer. I'd just constantly be pissed that I can't afford to buy all the cars I love. At least now, I can deal with it cuz I haven't experienced these cars. Cheers to y'all from NYC.
No it’s great because we don’t need to own all of them since we get to drive at least 2 new cars every week. Never bored!
Even though the manual is still up in the air, I really appreciate auto shifter: push to gear down, pull to gear up. My sequential fantasies love it.
Agree to disagree, I traded in my speed 3 for one of these 2 weeks ago. It's funny how hard they tried to not be get away from the speed but the second you put sport mode on and manual mode it drives just like my fully tuned full exhaust speed 3. It feels even quicker too
😂😂😂
It’s literally slower stock than the speed 3.
Mazda, it’s time. AWD, Turbo is perfect. Only thing missing is manual! You have the demand, please make it happen!

@@jimbo6612 Such a twit.
Do not. I test drove this car and I owned a focus ST too and it doesn't compare. This car is not sporty
Imagine if Mazda made a mazdaspeed3 trim with that interior and a manual option. Good looking car, fast and torquey, fun to drive, premium interior for its price, lots of space in the rear, and an efficient skyactiv engine. Do the same with the Mazdaspeed6 and you can compete with audis and Mercedes, do the same with the Mazdaspeed Miata and you will have a car in its own class. I wouldn't considered the Mazdaspeed to be a performance option but more of a premium or highest trim option.
It all sounds great, but it's also a great way for Mazda to go out of business.
@@brianm5060 yea I would agree the production of mazdaspeeds would be a gamble for them, but if they do I’ll be pretty happy
@@brianm5060 It sounds amazing, maybe they could do a limited production run of them to test the water maybe? Idk I just really really want to see it happen
@@ishannage248 making cars is even more expensive than it used to be and it’s hard enough being a small car maker in the first place
@@brianm5060 Yeah but Mazda has been growing a lot in the last couple years and the general consumers perception of Mazda is changing too. This could be a great chance to penetrate the luxury market further and sway potential A35, 235i, GTI, etc customers to go for a Mazdaspeed if they execute it well which im sure they can. BTW Mazda if youre reading this hire me please :P
MAKE👏🏻A👏🏻MANUAL👏🏻PLEASE!!!!
I will actually buy one next year if they do
Y’all think Mazda will be in these comments
No one buys new manuals. That's why they no longer exist.
HIT ME WITH DA MANUAL CUHH
Yes!
I literally own a 2017 mazda3 with a manual. The AWD turbo 3 would be a perfect upgrade for me IF it came in a manual. The fact that they offer it in FWD but not in AWD turbo is so disheartening.
I’ve loved this gen of Mazda 3 and if I could get the turbo awd and manual it would 100% replace my focus st as my daily
Mazda PLEASE BRING MANUAL TRANSMISSION to the 3 Turbo!!!!!!
Please!!!
Why? It's a boring engine in a boring chassis
@@seb42 Their manuals made them not boring
Probably not gonna happen. Keep in mind that Mazda is a small company and really has to prioritize what's likely to sell and turn a profit. Manuals have such a low take rate across just about all vehicles, and Mazda would have to build a manual thats compatible with the AWD system and that can withstand the torque. Is it a good business proposition if its only likely to account for 1%-2% of additional sales?
@@SeanRosairo It's still gonna be just a Econobox with a turbo. They would be better off building a Miata ND2 with a Turbo, now that would be fun. Otherwise Veloster N.
2011 Mazdaspeed 3 owner here. Although I'd absolutely love a manual version of these, I understand the intelligent strategic business decision Mazda has taken by not making it an option. That being said, if a manual turbo version came out I'd 100% buy one over the golf, type r, i30n - no questions asked. 🔥🤙🏼
Over the new type R 👀👀👀👀👀👀
@@jadentha1090 everything except for the Corolla GR, that’s baby.
MAZDA, WHERES THE MANUAL?
I’D ABSOLUTELY BUY THE MANUAL
Their manual isn't able to handle the torque they had to tune the auto to do it. They said this when the turbo first came out
@@00fariz Yep.
@@00fariz Yes, I also watched the video
Manual transmission would totally push me to highly consider this car. I will be buying a awd car within the next year or so and this would probably be it with a manual. If no manual I will probably get a lexus is350 or a WRX Sti.
Manual turbo please. Been waiting forever for it to come back. It’s definitely time!
Mazda 3 turbo with a manual is literally a dream of mine. Mazda pretty please.
same, guess im sticking with my 2012 2.5 manual for now
Sure if Mazda launch it, you will find another feature that will be missing.
Lol 😂
Clowns without money
0:06 the funniest part is maybe no one realize that Yuri mouthing "I'm Jakub" just to make sure he said the next line just in time lmao
Put the damn manual in, I’ll trade in my 2020 Camry in a heart beat
This thing is a great car but it is tiny inside compared to a Camry. Super nice interior, but so cramped
LucasHaines looks big enough for me, plus I’m 5’8 so I don’t care about space
I still have my 97 manual Camry. It's such a pleasure to drive !
Better to get a 6 than a 3 compared with a Camry. You'll miss the size
I just bought the sedan version, all blacked out. It's incredible.
Did Yuri mouth "I'm Jakub" during the opening? Haha!
I really love this car. I'd love it even more if it had an available manual with the turbo and AWD!

Great review! Your 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback Review helped me discover your channel and buy a Mazda 3 hatch! Appreciate the “average Joe car” reviews.
As a former mazdaspeed3 and mazdaspeed 6 owner put a 6 Speed in it, more aggressive wheels and tires package, plus some real suspension turning for the track and I will buy it.
As I was watching this, I was thinking of how close a comparison between this and a GTI would be. I appreciate you guys ending with note on the GTI as a competitor. I would like to see a head to head video with this version of the Mazda and the GTI if possible. Prior to the release of this model, I chose a GTI based on my experience driving the different versions that were available in June 2019.
Those shirts are incredible! Great job with the merch guys!
Thanks!! We hired an awesome designer for these @fuller.moe
No manual is a huge let down especially since the Mazda 3 already has a manual
If they had a manual you wouldn’t buy one anyway
If they had a manual you wouldn't buy it anyways, that goes for the people who liked your comment.
Honestly, manual or full electric. The automatic saps so much power. Especially with how good Mazda manuals are. I'll probably go VW next year with the Sportwagen. (They're getting 40% of their sales from manual-wanting enthusiasts, and Mazda is also part of the enthusiast cake, idk why they're not doing it) People who want a chill drive are getting the cx5 and other suvs anyway.
Agreed. Mazda lost me from buying another Mazda 3 when mine got totaled because of lack of power/manual option.
Got a GTI with manual. I sat in a 3 and wanted to get it but couldn’t love with 185hp.
I gotta say (I do have the Mazda 3 Hatch 2020.. So before this car in the video) It isn't a turbo, but I will say, for what I have been doing the passed few months, the car has handled well with all the roads I had to be on (and I went for the preferred). Back roads, freeways, surface streets. and honestly, I have the most fun driving the car on Back roads/mountain roads. It's satisfying.
I am planning on getting a new car in the next year or so. I would definitely be interested in a Mazda Turbo with AWD and manual transmission. I have been driving for more than 40 years and have never owned an automatic.
Godbless you I’m 21 and can’t drive a manual to save my life
i got the regular 2021 mazda 3 GT about 2 weeks ago and i gotta say it's great, love everything from the handling, quiet cabin, suspension and the interior, amazing interior. it makes you feel like youre driving a luxury car, especially with the smoothness and quietness while driving.
also, manual for the mazda 3 turbo, it would definitely be a 11/10 if we got that manual. just saying :P
Regular as in NA FWD? Im considering one also because it's a decent deal for a 2020 but I'm researching
Such a shame to finally offer a turbo and miss out on manual..
Not just that. Noticed that the tire width is still 215.. basically no handling improvement
@@dirkcurritzki9585 that's such a narrow way of thinking about handling and cars
It's a shame. But they are here to make money not lose it.

Hmmm, I was warming up to the hatchback over the CX-30 but at 4:34 it looks like you guys nearly bottomed out. Think the extra clearance will help. Thanks for all the informative videos!
Great review - straight to the point and minimal talk about styling, interior, etc. Great car as well. It would be good if Mazda added some more sportiness to this model: sport exhaust option, sport breaks and a bit more horse power.
My favorite part is Yuri lip syncing "I'm Jakub"
Absolutely yes to AWD manual! Our state requires AWD on mountain passes in the winter (I ski) and I require a manual transmission.
Where do you live lol?
@@hawkboy000 Washington state. I'm hoping they change the rules to winter tires required instead but for now it's AWD/4WD or chains.
Washington requires chains or AWD/4WD if you’re going through the mountains (which you will most likely need). They’re not required if you’re driving through Seattle or other urban/suburban areas....
I miss my Mazda3. At least she protected me in a crash.
Same
I miss my mazda 3. I betrayed him and turned him in for a Scion FR-S
Was yours the latest generation? A woman hit me on the way to work and totaled mine just last week. It protected me like a cocoon of airbags. I'm getting the same car again `=]
@@ericness2523 you got photos?
My girlfriend is currently torn between a Mazda 3 w/ a manual and a Mazda CX-30... she likes both but prefers the added space of the CX-30.
If Mazda offered the CX-30 in a manual we’d be out at a dealership tomorrow to pick one up.
I am a previous owner of a 2015 3GT Sedan ...however, Base model in 6-Speed! BEST EXPERIENCE EVER.... This in Standard/Manual Transmission is absolutely necessary!
MANUAL 3 TURBO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
I own a '17 3 at the moment, I 100% will buy a manual turbo 3 if one is made.
sincerely, previous mazdaspeed6 owner.
2.5T is a great utilitarian engine and makes more sense in their crossover lineup, not in a compact hatch. The redline is way too low. I think a 2.0T with a 6800 RPM redline would be more engaging to drive, even with lower peak torque and the same 250hp.
I agree, 275/280 HP and lower torque would have been a better fit.
Well, clearly the engine on this model isn't tuned for sportiness. However, mazdaspeed is a really bonkers tuning division and they're probably gonna squeeze more power from a smaller displacement engine, if a new mazdaspeed 3 will ever be a thing
@@popinjayjunior7698 Mazdaspeed 3 seems unlikely given Mazda's stance on high performance vehicles right now. In any case, they don't currently have a medium-displacement I4 turbo in their lineup. I think tuning the 2.5T will yield limited gains in horsepower due to the low redline.
@@popinjayjunior7698 Mazda just announced they are disbanding Mazdaspeed division, so the future is more luxury than zoom-zoom.
@@TheEmpoleon123456789i was actually hoping that if they could, they use the skyactiv x, but since @David Weber said mazdaspeed will be disbanded, all hope is lost
I'm a simple man - I see TSP with Mazda 3 Turbo - I like.
Intro soundtracks are getting really good. Keep up the good word fellas.
Would absolutlet love the manual transmission for the Turbo version. Would make me consider this over many competitors.
Dear Mazda,
Jinba ittai. This could have been something special. Let's make some magic happen.

I have a speed6 and would consider trading up to the 3awd turbo if it had a stick.
👏Bring👏Back👏Manuals👏
☝️ up you go
As a current lessee of a 2020 Mazda 3 Hatch in Manual, I was so excited to see a turbo variant come to market. I complained in my surveys to Mazda and to the dealer that it wasn't an option when I purchased because besides the motor, the rest of the car is great! I even explained I would trade in my current lease and get a 3 Turbo **MANUAL** as soon as it became available. I was very disappointed to find out they were only going to offer the turbo in auto. Please bring a manual option to the Turbo especially with AWD. Here in Wisconsin I'd love to have the fun of that turbo motor in the summer and the security of the AWD during the winter. If they don't pair the manual with the turbo, I am more than likely switching to a GTI, Veloster N, or something of the sort at the end of lease term.
I love the way the current Mazdas look. They're great stock, but could also look amazing modded.
"I'm Yuri!"
"I'm Jakub!"
"And we're going bumper to bumper on the Mazda 3 Turbo!"
For all those complaining about a lack of manual, let’s be honest even if they did have a manual you wouldn’t buy one anyway.....
They would, it's just that 99% of people in youtube comments and on reddit can't afford a new $30k car.
Mazda sure knows how to design a luxurious interior in a budget, also those cars are reliable AF. For the price looks like a perfect DD with a bit of fun from low end torque. I'd take this over the GTI.
Just picked up my 23 turbo premium plus and the car is pretty fricken fast. The torque is crazy. It takes the fuck off.
7:12-7:17 G Vectoring Control Plus is not just for AWD, it's on the FWD models as well
Manual please! Bring me back to me MS3 days..
not many ppl gonna get manual
We just picked up a new CX-5 last week and we love it. Good on you, mazda.
They really are great cars. My dad just recently bought a new cx5 (limited?), and he was shopping BMW X5s and Audi Q5's. I convinced him to go drive the cx5 and he ended up buying it that day. Great interiors for little money. Mazda is a great value proposition.
@H FG why?
Manual Yes Please. Also the car reminds me of the Alfa Romeo Brera from the side (which looks awesome btw)
All im going to say as an owner of this car is just buy an intake for it and you gain so much high end torque. Completely changes the car and makes it way more enjoyable.
The SINGLE limiting factor to me not getting one of these is the absence of the manual option. If you make it, it WILL sell!
Manual manual manual!!! My advise Mazda, just go to LinkedIn and contact Yuri for interior and technology feedback while driving to Jakub's house for driving dinamics feedback (Mazda remember that Jakub drove at Nürburgring so technically he knows a thing or two about driving).
You guys are the best car reviewers on RUclips, hands down!!! Greetings directly from Puerto Rico!!
Having a Manual and pricing a bit lower or equal to competitors would be good.

Mazad please do it. If the turbo comes with a stick, it will be the manual hatch with the BEST interior. Also polymetal gray and red interior will be a dream.
Such a beautiful car! Picking mine up on Monday!
Congratulations bro
Mazda has always had some of the most fun manual transmissions, I feel like Mazda's philosophy of Jinba ittai is boosted so much more with a manual and its sad to see it limited to certain trims. I had hoped that since Mazda is so keen on keeping combustion engines going they'd have the same enthusiasm for manual transmissions.
We need a manual of this. Would possibly be ever faster than this automatic, as mazda's auto transmissions are a bit sluggish. Also they need to figure out that redline problem.
Mazda is targeting the everyday driver who wants convenience. A lot of people see a manual transmission as an inconvenience. Also most people arent trying to hit redline when they drive
Reliability: Civic vs Mazda3? is Civic way more reliable or is this a fair comparison?
Love your channel - but seems like you didn't do your do your homework before this review. - First the title: How about stating what it is vs. what it isn't. Second the competition: How about comparing it to other AWD hatches vs. FWD hot hatches. If you want a 4 door AWD hatch that has good power, very good handling, very good reliability and offers a premium interior over a Subaru there are not a lot of options. Third the engine: My guess is this engine would not be enjoyable with a manual transmission given the low redline and again should be reviewed for what it is vs. what it isn't. Moreover the turbo provides consistent power for those drivers who live in higher elevations which may be one of the key benefits of pairing the turbo and the AWD. (you didn't mention this key benefit as you were more obsessed with the nostalgia of a MazdaSpeed 3) Again I love your channel, but this review seemed a little sloppy, and not as thoughtful as your usual standard of work
I was shopping for a car earlier this year and heard about this car and was excited, followed by disappointment when I heard it only came in auto, so I bought something else
The merch looks bad...

Basically these guys are saying this thing cost more than a performance economy car and doesn't perform as well and it's not as luxurious as it's luxury competitors. Hmm but somehow Mazda made something that looks and feels amazing.
Not only that, the premium plus package has a nice looking front splitter and a wing on top of the one it already comes with.
Yessss.... Mazda 3 Turbo w/ AWD & a MANUAL = Purchase!
This is exactly the way I woulds spec it. Ploymetal gray with the red interior is such a hot combo.
2012 speed3 owner here: a manual would be amazing. But if we cant get a manual, can we at least get a nice dsg?
Placed an order yesterday for the GT 2.5L non turbo manual variant.
Going to be a long wait before I can get my hands on it.
Im a current 2014 mazda 3 owner, and I had a 2005 GTI manual, 2008 WRX manual, and a 2000 miata manual before. I was thinking of getting a 2020 wrx manual, but if mazda ever introduces the manual tranny mazda 3 turbo with awd, im going to get it in a heartbeat!
