Better Than The Mazdaspeed3? // 2021 Mazda3 Turbo AWD Review

[@tomquimby8669]

Props to Mazda for still offering a larger 4 cylinder with no turbo, a manual, and an automatic that isnt a CVT.

[@evelynkinson5524]

Ummm this is a turbo though and it is available as a manual

[@Snake-ms7sj]

@@evelynkinson5524 ????? yes I know. I wasn't commenting on the Mazda 3 in this video, I was just saying that Mazda still offers the 2.5L FWD Mazda 3 without a turbo and with a manual. The 2.5L is a large 4 cylinder now compared to the 1.5L's and such.

[@micahhill4786]

The turbo model only have an automatic because the manual transmission can’t handle the torque the engine put out.

Cork! I got it!! As an owner of the non turbo. This car grabs people’s eyes and attention. I left work the other day, and my coworkers were just staring at my car. And I was like what’s up? nothing your car is so cool 😎 and I was like ok.

[@mohitdhuppad3671]

Hey, I am thinking between GT - NA and a turbo. Do you ever feel you should have got the Turbo instead?

I miss the warehouse more than I thought. You still did the car review in a stellar manner. Thanks.

i love your reviews. all of the humor you include in these makes them really enjoyable. thanks for all the work you put into producing these. very much appreciated.

Sarah the best Corrosion Preventive for electric connections is Truck Lite Dielectric grease, put it on all and any connections ... battery posts... light bulbs all ... all electric connections... make sure all corrosion and rust is all removed then put the dielectric grease on ... in 50 years I have never had a problem with corrosion on my vehicles.

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Yet another great car review, Sarah (sans the abandoned warehouse). Thanks for including multiple penguin friends in this review. They're so cute! I agree with you, in that this car would be really fun to drive if it had a custom exhaust, some Michelin PS 4s, a cold air intake and a tune. One of the best cars I ever owned was a Mazda 626 turbo. So their quality is a given. Keep up the great work.

[@janoycresnova9156]

You're an absolute gem, Sarah

[@geraldbly4903]

Uncorked, nice one Sarah! Mazda was originally a company that produced cork. Love this Mazda. IMHO they build some of the best cars on the market today. Hopefully their desire to go upmarket doesn’t make them unobtainable for us average people.

[@STOPPEDINCOLORADO]

Yo this channel is actually really funny, cool, and informative.

[@rodmackinnon8497]

I'd buy this car if I wasn't retired . . . the 12-year-old Mazda 3 I presently drive is the best vehicle I've ever owned, close to half a million kilometers on it.

[@WrenchingOnCars]

Yes, the signature Sarah seat bolster move.

[@BN99239]

Heck, for $450, just buy a new phone and use that solely for navigation in the car. That's more worth the money!

[@richardtargett4128]

You can buy the OEM SD card from Ebay for $50. You’d have to be nuts to pay the dealers price.

[@PhillyFan20]

It has Android Auto and Apple Car Play.

[@forlando1]

The vehicle in the video, based on features and base price shown at 0:24 has the Premium Plus Pkg, which in the U.S. now includes navigation. It's true that Apple Car Play/Android Auto makes native navigation a lot less necessary, but at least in the 2019 Mazda3, that navigation enables the nice benefit of projecting the prevailing speed limit on the head up display.

[@danielc3321]

It may not be high performance. But if you want a little luxury, some extra power, and a hatch, an upper end trim of the GTI is pretty much your only other choice.

[@zrakestephens9872]

You have that phoebe (Friends) quality about you. I enjoyed watching and thanks for the details.

[@mikegunn8667]

Hey Sarah new merch idea. Lab coats complete with safety glasses............. those buttons could take an eye out when the coat gets ripped open!

[@williamlong2682]

On one hand, I appreciate that Mazda gave us this at all, but on the other hand, I can’t help but think this was a missed opportunity. Personally I would have liked to see just a few more under the skin changes and handling upgrades to support the extra power. I think they could have made this slightly more athletic while maintaining the luxurious overall demeanor. But as Sarah said, perhaps that’s where the aftermarket will come in for this...

I owned a 2006 Mazda 3 hatch with the 2.3 engine and loved it. It was a great car in many ways and had well bolstered sport seats that hugged me perfectly. Miss that car and not a big fan of what they did with this newer version or generation. I prefer the look of my 06 over the newbies.

Hi Sarah. Love your reviews. I trust your views on design and performance. This episode you just started a new testing category that no one else does. The HORN test. It will be fun.

I traded my 2019 GLI for one of these and couldn't be happier. I mean, a 6 speed manual would be nice, but probably wouldn't be better. There's so much adaptive cruise tech that would be worse with a manual. That's just facts. Great car.

I'd say that the reference was to Corksport, as in them uncorking -> unlocking the potential out of the car. Mazda tuning is their specialty. The Corksport name taken from the reference of Mazda being a cork company, of course. Hopefully Cobb gets in on the G-Turbo tuning.

Sarah, your enthusiasm for that Mazda really shows through. Great job covering some of the many finer points, and I would share your disappointment at the lack of some of the more common amenities that other makers are including in their models. Keep eulogizing for the wider availability of the manual gear box. These cats will soon begin to listen. After a couple of minutes the sting of warehouse withdrawal was almost... Aw horse hockey It sucks.

[@mr.nmoney3554]

That Mazda red is beautiful.

[@buchajo]

It is indeed. In driving one around in traffic as my daily driver I’m amazed at the behavior of so many while driving around me. They’ll drive aggressively or try to race me. I’ve seen people in Audis and BMWs (far more expensive vehicles) seemingly get an insecurity complex and feel like they have to show me their vehicle is better even though I’m just sitting there doing my normal driving. The reality is the paint job could go on a vehicle far more expensive and wouldn’t at all look out of place....

Your review definitely solidified my decision, and besides, in my experiences with this platform, it was a no brainer😇🙏🥰Thanks dear for the entertaining review 👍

Great review Sara. I think a turbo 2.5 liter should be able to put down more hp than that these days, especially going against a pretty nice group of cars.

Ever since it first got announced with a turbo this has been at the top of my list

[@dlg5485]

I owned a 3 with the non turbo 2.5 and manual and it was an excellent car. It was already plenty quick, so I know this turbo is super quick. Mazda definitely needs to offer a dual clutch if they're not gonna offer a manual tho.

[@chaoticpuppet1]

Neat! Yay for the review. I have the '19 n/a awd sedan. As for the expensive map thing, $50 on ebay for a SD card but the slot is in the center consol. I did cork it under the hood and a muffler delete (I recommend adding a resonator for the crazy drone). Still debating a tune. There's an awd dynamic down the road from my work. And there's an aftermarket supercharger but I heard 4 people have blown their engines so I don't recommend it. Thank you Sarah and algo's

I love my 3. I went with a Polymetal Gray '21 Premium Plus Hatchback due to the black headliner and black grille accents. I wish you could get those on a sedan. The subwoofer is in the center of the emergency spare under the trunk floor. Seems like a low bean score for such a fun ride. Agree that it needs better tires, but that can be fixed.

[@SUME3R]

well done to Mazda... for keeping the basic stuff like a heat gauge, unlike some other car makers.
