Shopping for a new car? There's a discount when using The Straight Pipes link tsp.truecar.com

I test drove this car. It is phenomenal. The infotainment, HUD was crystal clear, ride was very stable and comfy. It is fast too. If u dont review cars for a living it is fast.

AWD manual cars are sooo hard to find, basically limited to a subaru now. Please mazda please Edit: im talking about a brand new car off the lot, subaru’s, jeep’s and golf r (in north america)

Mazda has the mos elegant, simple and beautiful design out of all mainstream car makers

Wife wanted the Camry, I wanted this. This car made me forget that I was married.

The answer is YES, Mazda. You know the question.

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.

Everyone wants a manual but no one is actually buying them.

I've moved away from Mazda as a brand recently, having owned two 3s in a row. (I wanted an SUV that actually looked like an SUV, Mazdas design language doesn't work for me in that regard.) The one thing that always tends to bug me is the flak the rotary knob for the infotainment system gets. It IS weird at first but you WILL get used to it and it IS the easiest, most intuitive infotainment interface I've ever used in a vehicle. Thank you for not just canning it in this review.

Mazda, we need a manual. - 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 Owner

All I want for Christmas is a manual Mazda 3 turbo with AWD 😄

0:54 You can see the sheer number of GO PRO s mounted on the windshield of the car in the shadow casted on Jackob's t-shirt.

Mazda, keep doing what you're doing ! You're really turning around.

The spec sheet says "Zoom Zoom", but the test drive says "Well, the interior is really nice..."

Mazda: it's NOT a Mazdaspeed Tuners: 😏 yeah? Give me 3 weeks

Jakub with the subtle 16710 Pepsi flex - love that watch!

Even though the manual is still up in the air, I really appreciate auto shifter: push to gear down, pull to gear up. My sequential fantasies love it.

Lol i love the fact that You guys and Throttle House Reviewed the Exact same Mazda 3. They both got the same Plates. CRKH 554

I could never be a car reviewer. I'd just constantly be pissed that I can't afford to buy all the cars I love. At least now, I can deal with it cuz I haven't experienced these cars. Cheers to y'all from NYC.

I'm a simple man - I see TSP with Mazda 3 Turbo - I like.

Did Yuri mouth "I'm Jakub" during the opening? Haha!

I would legit dump my Focus ST for a turbo 3 with a manual.

Manual transmissions should ALWAYS be an option!

Agree to disagree, I traded in my speed 3 for one of these 2 weeks ago. It's funny how hard they tried to not be get away from the speed but the second you put sport mode on and manual mode it drives just like my fully tuned full exhaust speed 3. It feels even quicker too

MAKE👏🏻A👏🏻MANUAL👏🏻PLEASE!!!!

Thumbs up if you catch Yuri saying “I m Jacob” so that he can stay in rhythm to say “we re going for a drive”.

I am planning on getting a new car in the next year or so. I would definitely be interested in a Mazda Turbo with AWD and manual transmission. I have been driving for more than 40 years and have never owned an automatic.

Manual turbo please. Been waiting forever for it to come back. It’s definitely time!

He came so close to saying “quirks and features” but stopped himself 😂

Mazda PLEASE BRING MANUAL TRANSMISSION to the 3 Turbo!!!!!!

This is a really good looking car, the headlights look amazing!

Great review - straight to the point and minimal talk about styling, interior, etc. Great car as well. It would be good if Mazda added some more sportiness to this model: sport exhaust option, sport breaks and a bit more horse power.

2011 Mazdaspeed 3 owner here. Although I'd absolutely love a manual version of these, I understand the intelligent strategic business decision Mazda has taken by not making it an option. That being said, if a manual turbo version came out I'd 100% buy one over the golf, type r, i30n - no questions asked. 🔥🤙🏼

Imagine if Mazda made a mazdaspeed3 trim with that interior and a manual option. Good looking car, fast and torquey, fun to drive, premium interior for its price, lots of space in the rear, and an efficient skyactiv engine. Do the same with the Mazdaspeed6 and you can compete with audis and Mercedes, do the same with the Mazdaspeed Miata and you will have a car in its own class. I wouldn't considered the Mazdaspeed to be a performance option but more of a premium or highest trim option.

I’ve loved this gen of Mazda 3 and if I could get the turbo awd and manual it would 100% replace my focus st as my daily

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, WHERES THE MANUAL? I’D ABSOLUTELY BUY THE MANUAL

Wondering if you guys figured out how the steering wheel buttons are actually supposed to work instead of saying they suck like in the last video on the Mazda3

Would absolutlet love the manual transmission for the Turbo version. Would make me consider this over many competitors.

I love the way the current Mazdas look. They're great stock, but could also look amazing modded.

Absolutely yes to AWD manual! Our state requires AWD on mountain passes in the winter (I ski) and I require a manual transmission.

I really love this car. I'd love it even more if it had an available manual with the turbo and AWD!

I just bought the sedan version, all blacked out. It's incredible.

Mazda please make a manual mazdaspeed again. We really need it right now

Mazda 3 turbo with a manual is literally a dream of mine. Mazda pretty please.

0:06 the funniest part is maybe no one realize that Yuri mouthing "I'm Jakub" just to make sure he said the next line just in time lmao

I want them to put the 2.5 manual in the sedan, I test drove a manual sedan with the 2.0L and it was a lovely car, just so slow. I’ve had my current Mazda for years but love the new sedans look 😍 make it go like it looks with 3 pedals

i got the regular 2021 mazda 3 GT about 2 weeks ago and i gotta say it's great, love everything from the handling, quiet cabin, suspension and the interior, amazing interior. it makes you feel like youre driving a luxury car, especially with the smoothness and quietness while driving. also, manual for the mazda 3 turbo, it would definitely be a 11/10 if we got that manual. just saying :P

0:05 Yuri: “I am Yuri” Jakub: “ I am Jakub” Yuri: (in silence) “I am Jakub” 😂😂😂

Great review! Your 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback Review helped me discover your channel and buy a Mazda 3 hatch! Appreciate the “average Joe car” reviews.

NEEDS VENTILATED FRONT SEATS @ premium plus trim

MAZDA JUST MAKE A MAZDASPEED VERSION WE ALL WANT IT SO MUCH

Those shirts are incredible! Great job with the merch guys!

I gotta say (I do have the Mazda 3 Hatch 2020.. So before this car in the video) It isn't a turbo, but I will say, for what I have been doing the passed few months, the car has handled well with all the roads I had to be on (and I went for the preferred). Back roads, freeways, surface streets. and honestly, I have the most fun driving the car on Back roads/mountain roads. It's satisfying.

As a former mazdaspeed3 and mazdaspeed 6 owner put a 6 Speed in it, more aggressive wheels and tires package, plus some real suspension turning for the track and I will buy it.

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

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

My girlfriend is currently torn between a Mazda 3 w/ a manual and a Mazda CX-30... she likes both but prefers the added space of the CX-30. If Mazda offered the CX-30 in a manual we’d be out at a dealership tomorrow to pick one up.

Intro soundtracks are getting really good. Keep up the good word fellas.

Put the damn manual in, I’ll trade in my 2020 Camry in a heart beat

For all those complaining about a lack of manual, let’s be honest even if they did have a manual you wouldn’t buy one anyway.....

7:12-7:17 G Vectoring Control Plus is not just for AWD, it's on the FWD models as well

That intro music deserved a night time drive montage with ryan gosling...

As I was watching this, I was thinking of how close a comparison between this and a GTI would be. I appreciate you guys ending with note on the GTI as a competitor. I would like to see a head to head video with this version of the Mazda and the GTI if possible. Prior to the release of this model, I chose a GTI based on my experience driving the different versions that were available in June 2019.

👏Bring👏Back👏Manuals👏

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

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

Such a shame to finally offer a turbo and miss out on manual..

We just picked up a new CX-5 last week and we love it. Good on you, mazda.

My Mazda3 Turbo is in the shop rn and they gave me a Jeep as a rental. 🥴 I'm gaining a whole new appreciation for my Mazda as this Jeep is so not my thing. I'm literally watching car reviews of my car because I miss it so much.

I am a previous owner of a 2015 3GT Sedan ...however, Base model in 6-Speed! BEST EXPERIENCE EVER.... This in Standard/Manual Transmission is absolutely necessary!

2.5T is a great utilitarian engine and makes more sense in their crossover lineup, not in a compact hatch. The redline is way too low. I think a 2.0T with a 6800 RPM redline would be more engaging to drive, even with lower peak torque and the same 250hp.

I miss my Mazda3. At least she protected me in a crash.

Nothing beats the late 80's early 90's Mazda 323GTX AWD Turbo manuals.

Buying 100th anniversary mazda3 this weekend in t.o.!

Manual manual manual!!! My advise Mazda, just go to LinkedIn and contact Yuri for interior and technology feedback while driving to Jakub's house for driving dinamics feedback (Mazda remember that Jakub drove at Nürburgring so technically he knows a thing or two about driving). You guys are the best car reviewers on KZfaq, hands down!!! Greetings directly from Puerto Rico!!

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.

I literally own a 2017 mazda3 with a manual. The AWD turbo 3 would be a perfect upgrade for me IF it came in a manual. The fact that they offer it in FWD but not in AWD turbo is so disheartening.

Not only that, the premium plus package has a nice looking front splitter and a wing on top of the one it already comes with.

My Mazda3 did it’s job in protecting me when I got t-boned about 3 years ago. I would buy another 3 with a turbo, AWD AND A MANUAL!!!! 🙏🏾

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.

Torque is good for a gasoline car wow! We own a turbo diesel with the same displacement and it only makes like 297ft lbs so wow😱 love the engine! 😁

I was looking for my first manual car with AWD. I really like this Mazda 3 hatch turbo and I work for Mazda, but shit, they don't offer manual, so I ended up buying a wrx. it was a hard decision for me . this is car is just sexy and interior is just awesome

Manual please! Bring me back to me MS3 days..

My favorite part is Yuri lip syncing "I'm Jakub"

Having a manual, hatch, AWD, and turbocharged car is a cultural phenomenon in American culture that is a staple of family practicality and honor. Mazda, you can continue to be thought of as a unique and niche car manufacturer... if you had the balls to make one.

The Mazda 3 Turbo is a beast in the snow! it has two different personalities in the snow: so much grip you won't get stuck and HOON IT, LETS DRIFT!

"I'm Yuri!" "I'm Jakub!" "And we're going bumper to bumper on the Mazda 3 Turbo!"

Hey mazda!!! Release a manual... Please

I would totally buy this as my daily driver of it had a manual transmission! Let's go Mazda, do it!

Won me over with that 89s retrowave intro.

Such a beautiful car! Picking mine up on Monday!

The merch looks bad... Ass!!🤩 Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!

You guys got the best intro music.. it must be my age but I absolutely love the 80/90s style electronic music........ok back to cars now.

Im a current 2014 mazda 3 owner, and I had a 2005 GTI manual, 2008 WRX manual, and a 2000 miata manual before. I was thinking of getting a 2020 wrx manual, but if mazda ever introduces the manual tranny mazda 3 turbo with awd, im going to get it in a heartbeat!

MANUAL 3 TURBO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I own a '17 3 at the moment, I 100% will buy a manual turbo 3 if one is made. sincerely, previous mazdaspeed6 owner.

Amazing as usual but I want my Rex tests back 🐶

We want a Mazda in manual! I've had a manual Mazda 3 for 10 years and I love it and don't want to upgrade unless it's manual.

Bought this one 3 weeks ago, I'm loving it, for those who are considering this car you will like it a lot

Honestly, I love a manual transmission, plan to have at least one at all times in the family, but if this car as a whole is reliable...and can get a decent tube... I'm sold
