Is the 2021 Mazda 3 Turbo with Aero Package a better hot hatch to buy? 

How much you got for it?

@@kevinng2180 I got it for $30.8k. Premium Plus package

I’m so jealous. Here in Europe the Mazda’s don’t come with turbo’s due to EU emissions...

@@tsenif at a dealership brand new? And after taxes or before?

@@AMR15H also how much is insurance for it

Thank you Zonko tracker!

😂

I’ll add another zonk of my own, the puny exhaust sound

Legend

A zonk for a manual Passenger Seat? Power passenger seats are not offered in this class or pride point

Thanks Brent! You are so awesome!

Very well said

Good call!

Just like everyone says they'd get one if it had a manual, but they just keep getting automatics. What a bunch of hypocrites!

Welp, I did (I have the Mazdaspeed 3) yet Mazda treats it like a red headed step child in practically every way. That said, this isn’t a hot-hatch. No one in their right mind is tracking this car. This IS a sporty alternative to the base Mazda 3 though. I’m glad Mazda is making this, even if it’s not for me.

@@RandyAugustus Haha, you're so right! I have a Mazdaspeed as well and every time I took it in for service I spent about 5 mins explaining which engine it had, or had to wait days for spare parts, or pay an exorbitant price for said spare parts...even though it shares 90% of those with the old CX-7. Oh well! I still love my car even if she's starting to show signs of age living in the rust belt :)

I know right!

When you tell the car: “hold my beer”

Mazda never break so the cup holders will be collecting dust. I drove a 2005 Mazda 6 for 11 years and never had a motor issue. The only real issue I had was paint fade and a few small rust spots breaking through. Mazda makes very dependable vehicles.

Could that be mazda hinting major repair work could be coming soon.

@@NoHypebeastZay HAHAHA!

Wow same exact cars I was looking at. I just got my 2021 polymetal grey turbo hatch yesterday. No regrets.

@@Loooooooooooooooool Still very happy over here after 6 months. Glad you're enjoying it too. Funny how you usually spot your new car everywhere when you first buy it. I never see this one around.

@@benf1111 update please owo

@@thatsreallyamoon it's been a little over a year and I still love it. If there was any complaint it would just be about having problems getting Bluetooth connected or the behavior of controls when I play RU-vid podcasts while android auto is connected but I've done some reading and I think it's my phone that is the problem (Pixel 3). Absolutely love the car and am still just as happy with my choice. I kept finding new cool things about it even after 6 months. Lots of extras.

@Dwayne501 the view is quite limited but there's multiple blind spot warnings (on the mirrors and the heads-up display as well as audible Blindspot warning system) that I never feel unsafe. Also, I really don't feel like I'm not able to physically see everything with the mirrors. Plus, the 360 camera is great. As a matter of fact, I almost didn't test drive it because I was worried about that but realized it was no problem after the test drive. I happened to prefer the dial system after having tested cars with a touch screen. I found that touch screens forced me to lean over and we're distracting whereas the dial is comfortably next to my hand and I have memorized how to navigate the system without looking. Also I happen to like the system's simplicity as compared to a bunch of eye candy but that's just me. I recommend you test drive and see if your concerns are answered or not too.

Thanks Junior!

I totally agree with you Adam! Thanks for showing Lori some love!

I got try it on mine. I got a 2019

Why would you want to do that?

@@Kev_inn_ I did small bursts not all the way to the floor. And if you put your phone near the exhaust and record you’ll hear it

That is so awesome! Congrats!

Good eyes man!

Does it come with an xbox ;)

What car is that lol

Hi which car did you buy. I’m looking fat the Mazda hatchback

Thanks Kevin! That really means a lot and I appreciate your support!

Nice call! Congrats!

You mean a Mazda 3 HB? Good luck getting your order filled with the chip shortage.

Lots of practice that is for sure!

Wives no longer laugh at husband's jokes after a short while. Just roll their eyes, that's it.

@@nsbioy My wife lol.

I totally agree with you!

That is so awesome to hear Ryan!

This is so very true!

Thanks man! That really means so much!

The jdpower survey might help

Is have to say that title goes to first gen Mazda Speed 3.

Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!

They are a small company selling very few vehicles but they sure work hard doing the best of the best with the budget they have. I worked for mazda and is one of the best reliable cars and designed like art.

I am so glad that you are liking this one.

I am so glad that I can share this one with you!

Italian take with Japanese reliability...... !

Thanks for letting me bring it to you!

The MX30 will be using cork as a trim for the center console in homage to that long ago heritage.....

I can totally understand where you are coming from!

Get one the mazda much more reliable than the jaguar.

Thanks for letting share it with you!

You get an A+

Ya ya

Look at the competition and NONE of them have ventilated seats.

@@RaitisRides Agreed Joe but like I stated Kia did in 2014 Soul! Why not Mazda 7 yrs later. Guess I keep the Soul! Lol.

The Soul isn’t a competitor to this car. I think you may be interested in the CX30. Sits up a bit higher and more airy than the 3. It does have ventilated seats. There’s your Soul competitor....

@@buchajo I am fully aware my 2014 Soul! Is not a competitor. I'm referring only to the options I mentioned.

Great minds think a like!

I know how you feel!

That really means a lot Patrick! I totally agree with you!

Most likely because a lot of people complain about chrome, especially on more sporty cars, so automakers just gloss black everything out. Me personally I don't have any problems with chrome but many do.

I know right!

@@RaitisRides It’s perfect for that. Sometimes you just need everything pushed together.

You are a wise man!

How’s the rear diffuser holding up? I was going to buy it also!

@@wolfeazy3526 Just fine

Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!

Sport mode does

You’re correct. Have to turn traction control off to keep it from auto upshifting in manual mode

Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Veloster N is just a budget Hot Hatch. You can get both with the Golf R. Over in seas they got the Audi RS3 Sportback and Mercedes A35 & A45/A45S.

Nice call mike!

Great car, but no Mazdaspeed. The point of Mazdaspeed is to be silly. And Manual. The current Mazda3 is neither silly nor Manual with the good engine.

I also have a 2014 green envy FiST.😎🤓

That is so awesome Chris!

I know how you feel!

AGREED!

The experts agree with your experience too - rated number one most reliable vehicle in 2020 - Mazda.

That is so very awesome of you to say! Thanks for sharing your great experience!

@@RaitisRides and thank YOU for educating ALL of us. When we decided to ditch Mazda, it was your reviews on the Honda Civic Hatchback, EX-T Coupe and Lexus UX that help us pull the trigger on each unit.

Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!

USB in center armrest. Is the one for the back passengers. AC is more than effective since they use the same component as the cx5 cx9 cx30. So the additional vents aren't really required.

Thanks for catching it! I appreciate you letting me share it with you!

Thanks for letting me share it with you!

It’s very very comfortable - I have the benefit of directly comparing it to the CX5 as I have both in the garage. Let me tell ya... the 3 wins hands down over CX5 on seat comfort and the cushy middle front armrest/console. The big fail for the 3 is that there is no power for passenger front seat in 3. Heck there isn’t even a manual lever to adjust height ..... that’s a zonk. Aside from that the 3 is a fine place to ride in... even at triple digit speeds MPH out on interstate it’s quiet and composed.

This does stand out. Sit in it. Test drive it and see. Looking at a picture of it on a phone doesn’t really do it much justice.

Thanks brother man!

I can totally understand that!

Agreed!
