The Wildcard Option.. // 2024 Mazda3 Turbo AWD Review

Рет қаралды 249,323

Күн бұрын

My Review of the 2024 Mazda3 Turbo. A hatch that was held back from being a performance champ. For enthusiasts that are mechanically inlined, this could make for an interesting challenge to improve upon the original design to see if it can be turned into a hot hatch with the right modifications.

agreed! i just got a '21 cx30 turbo yesterday and the fact that they have a similar (almost identical lol) style to the mazda3 brings the freshness of the 3 back up to "brand new". forever love mazda's design choices lately

As the owner of a older Mazda 3, I really enjoyed this review. My first few cars were just ok. I bought each of them because they were in my budget. Then I told myself: treat yourself with a car you truly want to have. Mazda 3, hatchback, 6-speed manual, soul red. Best decision ever. 😊

The bar has changed for this cars. When I was growing up in the 1980s a compact car meant cheap to buy, cheap to feed, cheap to insure. It also meant the seats were milk crates with fabric stretched over them, AC that was an asthmatic blowing through a straw if the car had it, a radio that sounded like an Alexa fizzing out at the bottom of a well, playground quality interiors, and a five line feature list and zero to sixty that was better measured by an appointment calendar, than a stopwatch. Hit something at more than 20 mph and you were not walking away. In the 1990s makers decided to stop punishing the buyers of these cars and started making them bigger and nicer. Now we have the Mazda 3 turbo which can hit 60 in just over 6 seconds, is awash in soft materials, is very quiet, comes with a 12 sp sound system and a 5 star safety rating. It and its peers have become respectable small family cars with the current Civic having a larger interior than the Accord did in the 2000s and so on.

We used to have a cloverleaf on which I once chucked the tail out on a 5k pound 104 in. wheel based 4wd the entire way. That lsd was a must have. The heavy duty handling package had a beefy sway bar with quad shocks. If these modern vehicles offer any performance enhancements do it.
