People don't understand Mazdas until they actually drive one. Once upon a time I rented a mazda 5 for a trip to vegas, yes the minivan with 3 rows. I Fell in love by it's performance and automatic/stick transmission. I never went back to toyota, nissan or honda. I can't wait to upgrade my 2013 hatchback to this model, I love the brick red leather trim and the black rims.

[@CallAnExorcist_1]

Absolutely! I just get my new Mazda 3 Turbo AWD! 🔥 I young man of 56 years-old and have previously an Acura TLX 2015, and after the vehicle start to have electronical issues, and constantly go to the car dealer for the reset of the computer, then the issues jump to the transmission and have to get a new one at price of 8K plus another 3 more weeks at the shop...I offer to sell the car with failure and just get a small portion it value. In the mean time I look for GTI, GLI, CIVIC, K5 de KIA and hands down the best is Mazda 3 Turbo AWD with Polymetal and red/black interiors. The car is just amazing, powerful but at same time comfortably...and a little extra is way more sexy. I strong recommend this car, worth it every penny.

[@brandonbeckham8803]

Good point! I think my only grasp is the torsion beam in the rear. You can feel the vibrations compare to Corolla or Civic. And that’s where German suspension engineering comes in.

[@brandonbeckham8803]

German full multi-link suspension is wonderful. But I really want to see where mazda goes in the coming years. they are so close to the entry luxury segment. They just need to change out some of the harder plastic in some places for soft touch and please mazda put rear A/C in your compact cars.

The sedan version of this car is a serious sleeper commuter car. I love that you can go down to 87 octane.

[@RaitisRides]

So very true!

[@desertmike680]

Agreed! In regards to using 87 octane - I've had an '18 Mazda 6 with manual for the past 2 and a half years. During that time I've alternated between 87, 89 and 91. When using 87 or 89, my car will knock/ping a bit. Using 91 will diminish it a bit but it depends on the quality of. With that, if I use cheaper 91 octane, it will continue to knock/ping. If I use better quality 91 octane, it does not. I learned my lesson on it, so use higher, quality 91 on all current, Mazda's.

For the "no 93 octane in my state" issue, find racing fuel, usually 108-110 octane, purchase in approved container (they won't let you dispense into cars), and put in 1.5 gallons of it into tank, top off with 87, and that will result in about 93.5 octane on a full 13.5 gallon full tank.

This is the most comprehensive review of the Mazda3 GT Turbo I've seen to date, and the fact that you use real world measurements (Double meat subs, twinkies that won't burst, etc.) really speaks to, well, everyone who eats! Hilarious food aside, the Mazda3 GT Turbo is a real world sleeper. My wife got the sedan in Feb this year and we've humbled an overwhelmingly satisfying number of drivers since then. This is the perfect car for her and the price point is staggering. It's a different drive/feel/experience compared to my 2018 Civic Si coupe, I'm very fortunate to have both in my life (oh, and her haha). She came from a 2016 Mazda3 and this upgrade was beyond night and day.

Thanks Mario! You are so very right!

[@sachemrock]

Good point about the switch to multi-beam rear suspension from independent rear suspension. Why did they do that? That move was not consistent with their corporate credo about their focus on driving fun. I guess life is all about compromises, especially as it relates to the almighty dollar. Lastly, excellent point for all the people lamenting that’s it’s not a revival of the Mazda3 Speed, no Mazda3 Speed ever had an interior of this quality. As an aging car enthusiast who no longer looks appropriate driving a car with boy racer styling this vehicle is at the top of my list when I have to replace my 2013 Acura TSX sport wagon.

Some of the Zonks you gave have available options. There's an Aero kit which gives a front splitter, even better sides, a better spoiler, and rear diffuser.

Thanks Joe, I just drove the hatchback after the driving sedan. The hatchback is a little more aggressive in it's ride. Sport mode is great.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@khronin]

I just bought one and came from a 3.3 TT Stinger in which i sold and made thousands on.I was able to buy this CX-30 premium plus outright and it is plenty fast.I can easily get on the HWY at 100 MPH or more very easily.It has so much torque down low that you can get off the line with it and beat most cars--the Stinger was just overkill with how fast it accelerated.I think in cold weather--93 octane gas and some bigger performance all the way around that this could hit very low 5s to 60 and maybe break into the 13s in the quarter.The fronts lose a little traction--but the AWD is balanced for both performance and AWD.My Stinger was AWD and no matter what car I ever get again--I am always springing for the AWD--this CX-30 lets you take corners more aggressively then an Audi A6 or Q3--which is saying something.
