The 2024 Mazda3 Premium Plus Is A Turbocharged AWD Happy Medium Compact Hatch

When you get decide between going mainstream or spending a little more for a luxury brand, the #Mazda3 has always been a perfect compromise. The current generation #Mazda3PremiumPlus is the top trim and it brings to the table lots of luxury and tech features typically found on far more expensive cars. #Mazda also offers the newest 3 with a potent turbocharged engine and AWD for a spirited drive versus most compact cars in its segment.

I own a 2023 Hatch, bought it brand-new. It's the BEST car I've EVER owned! I didn't know it was possible to love a car this much. It's impossible not to smile every time I see it or drive it. Two of my buddies have 3 Hatch's too (2017 and 2019), and they're crazy about them as well. Mazda is killing it! They're extremely reliable too, none of us have ever had a single issue besides general maintenance, with one of my friends having 130, 000 miles on his 2017. We love our Mazda's!

The screen was not designed and not meant to be a touchscreen in the first place, so it was placed far ahead for better viewing and the mazda control buttons works better than touch. It’s the people who complained and they make it touch screen. Touching the screen requires eyes off the road to see where you touch so it’s unsafe.

The ultimate car for people who want sports cars but dont want a sports car.

I own a 2023 Premium hatchback with the 6-speed manual. I love it.

I own a 2014 hatchback 6 speed manual with 214k miles on it. Never had a single issue. Drives the same as first day I bought it with 10 miles on it. Extremely reliable.

One of the many things I love about my 2016 Mazda3 is that I can my keep my arm comfortably on the armrest and control the infotainment with the rotary knob. I never have to reach up to fiddle with the screen or get fingerprints on it. I literally have never touched the screen in 7 years of owning it except to clean/dust it.

I am 6 ft 5 in tall. 220 lb. I chose this vehicle for The legroom, non-cvt and the more powerful engine. I absolutely love the carbon turbo color

Mazda is giving us luxury comfort and driving since it made its first SUV, what a gem!!!

[MiekeFidder-tn]

Best car ever. I drive a 2017 Mazda 3 and love every moment of it

[Quandtimus]

still love my 2020 sedan, 42k miles and 0 issues other than the factory tires being trash

[thewatcherM]

The thing I love most about mine is NO CVT! That being said, I would have preferred a manual; but - did I mention? - NO STINKING CVT SLUSHBOX!

'23 Mazda 3 Turbo tapping in, love it!

Have a 23 black Turbo hatch PP and absolutely love the car. The driving experience is just butter. The power is VERY nice. The design is sexy AF. The car with the aero package is legit the perfect looking hatch. Mine gone TBoned 2 weeks ago. 14k worth of damage. It's currently in the shop. Fantastic car.

2024 Premium Plus Turbo hatch with the white mica paint and it’s a superb car! I had a 2021 select hatch before this and I have no regrets on this purchase.

I tuned mine a little so I’m pushing about 300HP. 0-60 I’ve clocked is around 5.5sec. Nothing super but it’s just a fun sporty car with enough trunk space for what I do.

I just bought a 2021 with 15, 000 mi in this exact same color with the red interior and dash I love it. also having that screen so far away it's perfect in my opinion because it's right in your line of sight. Yes, not being a touch screen can be annoying at times but you get used to it.

[gooniac]

gotta love what Mazda offers!! very simple mods transform the car into a much more capable platform too! Love this style review and am always looking forward to the new stuff you show us!!

I purchased a 2024 Mazda3 Turbo Premium Plus last week and I love it! Big upgrade over my 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT.

[AcktongueBaby]

I had a 2018 touring model hatchback that I absolutely loved. I traded it in for my Ford Maverick in 2022. The one thing I miss about the Mazda three I had was the infotainment system and the dial I hate touchscreens. I also miss the audible chirp from the Blindspot monitoring, the Ford has Blindspot monitoring, but it doesn’t make any noise. It just flashes on the mirrors.

Great review as always. What I don’t understand is the obsession with powered seats. In real life, one doesn’t change the seating position that frequently and if you do, the powered adjustments takes too long. Plus you carry all this extra weight and there’s an extra cost. I much prefer manual seats

[RiOrtiz]

screen placement is perfect and I don't need any damn finger prints reflecting the sun on my screen.
