[@doctorferdinand1003]

@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."

[@mikem2253]

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.

[@doctorferdinand1003]

@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.

[@gettinyolked]

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.

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.

[@Beastykato]

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.

[@Shane-fh4uu]

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

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?

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

Mazda owner since 2007. TL;DR? Speeds had a market, new Turbo 3 doesn't but should. Psst, Mazda...Anyone who wants the manual would pay the cost difference for it. Maybe make 1 manual for every 500 autos and tack on $3-4k? You'll likely sell em all. It's doable! Especially if you've already done the R&D. *I'm not an industry expert though so I could easily be wrong in the "juice is worth the squeeze" on this.* - I'm a MazdaSpeed 3 owner and will never let her go. No one would buy it for what I have in it anyway lol but the mods have made it so much fun these last 8 years. - Although I'd love to have a 2021 Mazda 3 turbo AWD Manual that is tuned and built for what the Speeds were in the past. Not just a Mazda 3 with a turbo tacked on. What's the point of all that HP and torque if you really can't do anything with it? - Car review reports state the stock 2012 MazdaSpeed 3's 0-60 is ranges from 5.7 to 6.7 seconds. The new turbo 3 has 40 more ft lbs of torque and 13 less HP and clears 60 mph around 2 seconds slower with AWD. The new non-turbo 3 is only 1 second slower than that. Obviously the new turbo 3 pulls away from the non-turbo pretty quickly after 60 mph though. In short, if one can't dust a non-turbo version off the line, why waste the money? - The turbo 3 should have a build that competes close with the WRX STI and others in that class for it to be relevant. That means it would need to be between 4.6 to 5.6 in the 0-60 and run the quarter mile somewhere in the 13s, low 14s. This comparatively slow Mazda turbo doesn't seem to fit anywhere in the market and likely won't sell well. While it's trying to appeal to sporty buyers and snag a few extra bucks from people who'd be just fine with the non-turbo it likely fails to appeal to either side. There's no reward for going for the turbo as it's built now. No manual option, none of the very nice power numbers making it to the wheels makes it a no-go for most looking for turbo AWDs in this price range. Those not looking for a turbo aren't likely to spend extra for much of the same reasons. - Mazda split with Ford who introduced the Speed series. But Mazda has its own racing heritage that broke the mold at Le Mans. The Miata shouldn't be the only one carrying the torch from those days. The 3 and 6 MazdaSpeed series had very well built motors and solid engineering focused on fun, speed, mod-ability coupled with practicality. RX series and Miatas are purely 2 seat roadsters (there's some RXs with "for show"back seats). You can put a car seat in a Speed then take it out to reduce weight at the strip on the weekends for your stock 14 ish seconds of glory. You can mod that to a 9 or 10 second range in FWD Speeds and still daily drive it at a reduced comfort. - I focus on modding and power making it to the wheels. Others focus on its sporty "dad-car" image that can hang with other stock competitors and so on. The Speeds just offered a great base model for options, exploration, possibilities and was respected in its class. The new turbo 3 is missing this. It doesn't have a clearly defined class. Customers really don't exist in this middle area Mazda created. Which is sad because I think this is the closest we'll get from them testing the waters with turbo 3s and may scrap the project quickly blaming a lot on the wrong data points. It's not that customers for their turbo 3 don't exist, they very much do! The problem is this version is much like what was stated in this vid...it's just a Mazda 3 that happens to have a turbo. It's not specifically built to harness the raw power it clearly has or the manual transmission this customer base largely prefers. That deletes a huge amount of interest. - For some perspective, we just bought a new CX-9 Turbo last month. We would have left with two new cars if the "Speed" existed. So, there's one sale waiting to happen if that helps!

Mazda, it’s time. AWD, Turbo is perfect. Only thing missing is manual! You have the demand, please make it happen!

[@Ruluxx]

No manual is a huge let down especially since the Mazda 3 already has a manual

[@kermit1]

If they had a manual you wouldn’t buy one anyway

[@Masterahsoka]

If they had a manual you wouldn't buy it anyways, that goes for the people who liked your comment.

[@SeanRosairo]

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.

[@kc510]

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 had to buy an old car for an awd turbo car with a manual. Guess what kind.... A Mazdaspeed 6 just because there's no options out there. I didn't want to be another guy with a subaru. I know it wasn't a blockbuster then but the country was in a bad place economically. Itll work today and would've work the past 10 years. It's time....

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.

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.

Everyone will demand the manual, few will actually buy it. Mazda is smart and knows this.
