From that one video, which I shared with my wife, we both felt like we had driven it already and understood it. We bought one in Preferred, Machine Gray, and simply drove it off the lot. We have not regretted it one second. Simply stellar. Would I have liked a turbo? Sure - the 5 had it. Did I need it? Nope. Wish I had found Mazda years ago? Yep.

Dave Coleman is awesome at explaining the tech stuff. Especially interesting was his explanation as to why there is no manual transmission at this time. I found the reference to the diesel spot on. My past VW TDI manual was hard to drive smoothly sometimes because the torque drop-off at the wrong spots in your mind's shifting rhythm. But once the car was chipped, that smoothness and synchronicity was there. So the answer seems to be to add more HP to the engine, Which also means to add bigger brakes, a new suspension, etc. Just as Dave laid out.

The same could be said for Australia. We don’t get the 2.5 Turbo (not yet available in RHD) but we do get the 2 litre SkyactivX. It’s an odd choice as we get both the 2 litre and 2.5 litre SkyactivG engines. The 2 litre X engine falls kinda between the two G engines but manages to do nothing really special; more like a slightly more economical 2.5 with slightly less power. Probably makes more sense in Europe/UK where the 2.5 isn’t available. I think making the X engine available as a 2.5 litre would have been a much better solution for Australia.

...among enthusiasts who were looking for a new Mazdaspeed. But that isn't Mazda's market because that is a very small number of people. This car is aimed at the vastly larger number of people who would otherwise be shopping for an entry-level luxury car, and it does that perfectly.

I have a 2020 CX 30 2.5 liter AWD. Put Blizzaks on last winter and it was excellent in ice and snow. I live in upstate NY and we got some serious 12"+ storms and always have ice. BTW, the 2.5 with 6 speed transmission is plenty quick. I mean plenty. Sure the turbo is torquier, but I'd at least drive the non-turbo then decide. Great car. Handles great. The 3 would likely be very similar.

It´s a compact car and a pretty one for 35k$ ... Kudos to your in-depth and honest review! Would I buy one after this? Nope - but buying a Mazda 3 I would also go with the basic engine and manual. Much more fun for sure.

I swear you are just never going to satisfy everybody. Bc honestly Motto man I cannot think of one car that will produce that same amount of power with all wheel drive and definitely as a hatch that you could buy here in America for 35 or less. Heck you can’t even buy a hatch like that for that amount in Europe that wont cost you at least 40 grand.

Well this stock is faster then a stock speed3. The turbo 3 comes in under 6 seconds 0-60 and the speed3 is a 6 sec 0-60 car. So what could you do to change a speed3 into the turbo3 is the question?

Depends on the size of the turbo. Smaller turbos spool up fast and will give you more boost down low.

Agree with motoman, for $35k, there are just too many choices out there that is way better than this car. No manual. No way gonna spend $35k on a car with torsion beam. Even the $19k Corolla has an independent rear suspension, and they were coming from the torsion beam. While everyone else upgraded, Mazda downgraded.
