2024 Mazda3 Turbo Sedan (AWD) // Losing Its Edge? // Full Review
The Mazda3 has always been a favorite of mine, due to its great Driving dynamics, upscale Interior, and reasonable pricing. A turbocharger and an all-wheel-drive system certainly don't hurt anything. The turbo versions of this sleeper sedan make 250-hp and 320 lb-ft of torque through a tried and true 2.5L 4-cylinder SKYACTIV-G motor paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. That's quite a lot of pep for a "regular" sedan. And while the interior still holds up quite well, it's not really punching above its price point anymore since that price point is up to $37k now, when in top form. There's also no more Premium trim level in the sedan, only a Turbo Premium Plus if you want all of the goodies. However, there is a new Carbon Turbo for 2024 in Zircon Sand. Let's go ahead and take a look at how this sleeper sedan is holding up against the rest of the market.

Second the rotory knob love. My '22 polymetal hatch is still the best year round daily I've ever owned, including through heavy snow and rainfall. But the sedan still catches my eye.

There's a metallic gray sedan on the street one over from me, and I love it but the turbo really captured me and in 22 turbo sedans weren't an option unless you booked in 2021
You are raw🤝🏽

It's good to see a sedan review. Thanks
Mazda really need to black-out that thick front chrome grill/light trim on the black wheel trim versions of their vehicles. Looks out of place. That was one of the first things I had to do to my 2022 CX-30 Carbon Edition after purchasing it. Otherwise, great vehicle.
You get leather-trimmed seats in the Carbon Edition.

@@GearboxCarReviews The regular CE gets red leather. The CE Turbo is the one with the terracotta leatherette.

@@cbsadler ah, you're correct! I was focused on the Carbon Turbo, and I had thought the regular Carbon had red leatherette for some reason. I appreciate the correction!
