I bought this exact vehicle as a certified used 2024 model for $28.5K and only 5K on the odometer, doesn’t look like they changed anything for 2025.

This could have been a serious competitor to the GR Corolla if it was offered with a stick option. The GR for this year just offered an automatic, so the Toyota gives you two options to choose from now.

Far from a competitor. The GRC is built for track use. It’s a performance car. The Mazda 3 turbo is just a Mazda 3 with a turbo. The Mazda 3 turbo would go against a GTI. Although the GTI is more sporty and fun since it’s got a manual and a dual clutch offered.

If they put the base I6 in the 3, and the top of the line turbo (the one from CX-90 turbo S) into a bigger sedan (shall we call it, I don’t know, Mazda6?) WITH an updated 8AT, their lineup in North America would be complete. No need to put hybrid, PHEV or worry about EVs anymore.

The only thing broke is the record amount of years Mazda can use this design. This model is 7 years old. They keep marking up the price, removing features every year. The generation before this one is twice the car of this 19-25. The 14-18 model had multi-link rear suspension. This gen has cheaper torsion beam. The older model was built better too. Needs a total redesign.

The CX-5 is not a car. It’s a crossover or SUV or whatever the heck you wanna call it, but it’s not a car. It seems you don’t understand that, for many car enthusiasts, an SUV/CUV is simply not an option! To car guys, those are transportation appliances - not cars. I read and watch YT videos about cars - not washing machines, air conditioners or SUVs!
@_IIN01Ай бұрын
Nah… it’s a car through & through. You don’t want to call it a car because your brain immediately thinks a 4 door sedan but an SUV/Crossover/Truck/Minivan etc is a type of car… A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people over cargo. So… a Mazda CX-5 is a car that can be categorized as an SUV/Crossover. …………..but still a car.💁🏻♂️
@joflewbyu2377Ай бұрын
Yes, the CX-5 Carbon Turbo is a much better value at the same cost. The CX-5 is Mazda’s best seller. Even the CX-30 Carbon Turbo is a much better choice. Same engine and features for ~ $4,000 less. CX-30 is Mazda’s 2nd best seller. Mazda doesn’t sell many 3 models - sedans or hatchbacks.

You’re spending $6k more on the WRX and $12k more on the Nissan. That’s 1-2 years more of a loan or 2-300 dollars more a month. A HUGE difference in a daily driver. Not mo mention the 3 can reliably get 33 mpg highway and 27 in town on 91 octane. Plus insurance doesn’t classify it any differently than the base model so it’s $100 w month or less to fully insure. The cost of ownership over3 years is astronomically lower.
