The Mazda 3 Turbo Hatchback. This. Now this has been my favorite mainstream Mazda to date. Let’s discuss. I was very much reluctant to let it go back to the press dungeon for starters. But in this time, I fell in love with this 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo Hatch. As a daily, especially with Mazda’s new premium ethos and this Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint, it’s perfection. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

🏁 @Alllcarnews Spec Sheet: Under the hood is the 2.5L Turbo 4 making 250HP (227HP in 87 octane) and 320 lb-ft of torque, (310 lb-ft of torque on 87 octane) a decent amount of power in a tiny sedan. Power is sent to all four wheels only through a surprisingly good 6-Speed automatic. 🏁

+The Mazda 3 Turbo is a balanced and refined driver. The steering and the steering wheel are perfectly weighted with a nice balance, all without being too heavy or over boosted. It is NOT a sports car, but rather a premium hatch with better than average handling, grip, and torque.

+The interior.. for $35k as tested, steps a class above. Materials are premium, with supportive seats, satisfying buttons and no hard cheap plastics.

+ The hatch’s exterior styling is striking and sculpted and the extended air dam and rear spoiler are perfect touches. Kodo design still is a top tier.

-Rear legroom is.. not good. I can barely sit behind myself (i’m 6ft tall/ 182cm)… and let’s not talk about the blind spots.

-For the premium plus package, I wish Mazda included power mirrors, a power passenger seat, and maybe even cooled seats.

-The i-Activ safety sense systems work though are by far class leading. Subaru’s EyeSight offers better active lane keep/steering assist, though I prefer Mazda’s radar cruise control.

ACN EXTRA: Should you buy it? Don’t have kids or lots to haul and want a solid, premium, refined hatch with a true dynamic edge? 10/10 yes.
