I own 2, 5 turbo. Bought after your review) This is a great car! Gorgoeus inside and outside. Extremely reliable

Man you speak so smoothly and the way you explain things is super friendly and enjoyable. Loved the video!!

[SB-edgz]

That intro is incredible. Well done!
I used to own 2019 Mazda3 until I got 2021 CX-30 turbo. Lower the seat and thigh support all the way, and move the seat forward until your feet firmly touch the pedal and foot rest. Surprisingly, this solved my back pain issue.

These types of videos are my favourite. All the videos are great, but I love the slower pace and to get your thoughts and opinions.

Also awesome to see more of the man behind the cam. Mike brings the energy, Ian allows me to focus on the details.

Combination of the flashy visuals with the thoughtful review makes this the best car channel on YouTube!!

You can go in front of the camera anytime. You’re doing a great job.

Got a 2023 Turbo PP hatch with the aero kit and no noise so they must have fixed it. It's my dream 3. Luxurious and a blast to drive every single time. 🖤Mazda🖤

I think you did a great job Ian, you seemed comfortable on camera, and I think having you and mike do some duo reviews would make some interesting videos.

I’ve leased a white 2019 GS FWD 2.0 Hatch which was wasn’t for long but performed well . My wife brought it to Costco without me knowing to get an oil change, forget to take out oil pipe out of the engine then started it and completely destroyed the engine ( Costco paid around 20 grand to have a new 2.0 engine installed during the pandemic so I didn’t lease that one for long but I actually let them keep it and upgraded to the 2.5 GT AWD, Polymetal grey, Red leather, HUD, pretty much all options, wanted more power so I traded in for a GT AWD Turbo and was very impressed with the added power, the great cornering ability and solid all weather handing in both Turbo & Non Turbo AWD’s. I think the car is beautiful especially in White, the lines are accentuated by some colours more than others. But a friend of mine who owns an M3 jumped in one night and he was blown away with the quality and interior design immediately then once he felt the performance was surprised. Now obviously it’s no M3 but it’s an extremely well designed car, great all year daily driver that with some added Blizzak’s deals with Canadian winters with ease.
I have the same issue with the middle sliding compartment, the piano black pieces are a scratch magnets and I agree seats look stellar but lower back pain for sure after some longer drives. Overall living in Canada with this car and dealing with snow storms this AWD hatch is great.
Appreciate the video !
Recommend the car especially the price, solid performance & reliability.

Great Music, Great Editing, and Great content! Keep up the Quality work Mike and Ian. You guys are creating a one of a kind channel. Can't wait to see you guys at a 1, 000, 000+ subs!

This is a really refreshing approach. Usually youtube car reviews only have one star and they seem to be an expert at everything about cars but you bring this amateurish feel for those like us who start to notice things about our cars at really random moments, like an epiphany

[jamesaquino]

Ian, there is this subtle humility about this video that made me watch it a good 10 times at least. Your narration is complementing Mike's upbeat approach with this laid back style, the way you did this is like Mazda paid you to do it. We're waiting for our first Mazda to arrive in a few weeks, and this made me excited to immerse further into the Mazda ecosystem. Kudos!

40, 000 km on my '21 100th anniversary turbo hatch and im loving it!!
Best car I've owned since my 93 prelude.

[mikethemech]

Great vid. I must say you’re a natural, no gimmicks, no drama.

[Kirbykin]

I’m so happy you mentioned Vredestein! Their tires are amazing 👏🏼

[drewmurray]

Great job, Ian. I bought a CX-30 Turbo in part because of your initial reviews on the Mazda 3, and I’ve enjoyed it! I’d be happy to see you in front of the camera again, solo or with Mike.

Sharing the same sentiments, 3 plus years of ownership on a GT 3 Turbo AWD 2021 in polymetal gray, red interior in Alberta.
Minor issues I do have of the car is the fuel tank size is smaller compared to the other cars of this segment but livable with nevertheless.
Was concerned of the rattling some people spoke of and started to hear some which fortunately was just the front passenger seat railing needing WD-30.
After 37k km, I can say that the transmission really limits the potential of the car for track & more hardcore driving, but spirited driving in rolling hills, it's perfect.
Biggest gripe I have are the brakes, too small & weak for the power/torque of the car. Similar cars like the Volvo C30 Turbo & a Golf GTI has better brake sets than this car OEM stock.

Overall, great car especially for winter driving. I drive daily to the office and it's never a bore. The cold climate I'm in is perfect for the turbo, that AWD and control is splendid, the interior is comfy, and the maintenance cost is unmatched and rivaled by only of the Nissans & Toyotas.. I'm also seeing that the car is holding its value better than the previous generation.

I intend to keep this car for a long time so mods are in the plans - mostly corksport parts to get bigger brakes and give it a better sound. It's a good enough daily family car & will be my little girl's car when she enters college in 4 years, which I'm confident this car will be very much aging well in terms of looks and safety, as well as reliability.

Really an enjoyable car to own, yes it's not purely a hot hatch, but it blends in that lux & sport very well.

Great job Ian! Loved the editing, the shots, and all camera movements!! Loved the video! ❤

[deinemudda]

Great job in front of the camera. I drive a Mazda 3 AWD with manual transmission and 186 horsepower. For the German/European market the 2.5 Turbo is unfortunately not available. I can confirm that the interior and the haptics of the materials are very premium and comparable with German OEMs like Audi or Mercedes. The manual transmission give kind of sportiness. Best greetings from Frankfurt/ Germany.

I brought mine for $36k in 2023. Love it got a downpipe and cat back exhaust. Intake and a tune from Mazda sauce tuning love the car
