Good job nephew. I’m proud of you
Man, you're going to make me cry
W uncle
I'm a 51 year old car guy who is mainly a Corvette/Mustang/F150 enthusiast and I have to say that's one beautiful hatchback!! I love what you've done with it, and imagine it's a fantastic DD. TU!
I got a corvette and pickup but my daily is a 2 door hatch 5MT yaris, 45mpg and zipping around in the city is great
A near perfect everyday driver for those who want a nice car with versatility, and don't want to spend on a true luxury car. With the 2.5 turbo it would be hard to argue it's not a true luxury car minus the passenger options. It's also reliable. Great video man. Mazda really makes fantastic cars.
Bro love the way you present. Articulate, confident, well spoken.
Love it man. I’ve been following along ever since I got my white mazda3 like yours and it’s lookin great ! Few different things here and there but you’re a big inspiration to all my mods
man I watched one of your crosstrek videos and then checked out your newest video and just wanna say that your progression with your videos as far as audio, quality, transitions and overall editing has not gone unnoticed! Great stuff!
I really appreciate that! Means a lot!
Great job on the M3 hatch, my wife had a 08 hatch for years and I finally convinced her to get a new one so she bought the 2023 in December and she loves it. And I bought her the Red Line struts for the hood I saw on your installation video of it, looks great, thanks.
Car is looking great bud! We just installed Avid wheels on our 3 and we ran into the same issue with the center caps. Had to get the raised ones. Outside of that has been a great car. Keep it up
Love your videos and content. Great visual, audio and content quality. Humor is great too. Keep up the great work.
This car is already one of the best looking car on the road today, and your smart mods bring it to an even higher level, nice work man, great video! I would get one myself if they had a 6 speed awd option, maybe one year they will!
Just bought a 19 FWD and your videos are awesome 👍 giving some good inspiration
Very tasteful mods - personalized while still retaining all the functionality for lots of daily use. Well done sir 👍
only about a month til my mazda 3 tpp hatch comes in and I'm so hyped, i love watching videos like these to get mod ideas because they really are a hidden jem not a ton of builds to take inspiration from
Glad I came around this video! 90% of what you did is what I had in mind to do!
Bro I just got 2023 and love it! your content is definitely gonna help. 🙌🏽
What a great looking car...such a beautiful shape and so well put together...Great video.
Loved the Mazda 3 4th gen when I had it. And I loved the video man. Please keep posting this content!!
Great video man! I agree with the end of the video there are not that many Mazdas where I’m from either. I get lots of eyes and compliments and it’s a fantastic car. People sleep on it for sure
Continue enjoying it man..! Kudos to you.
Great vid! Your car looks great and very tastefully done. Cheers 🔥
Love your hatch Strady. I have a '23 CE AWD. You've given me so many ideas
Your setup is so clean. Good job!
really good looking build - thanks for the vid
This car is so slept on it’s crazy. I can’t wait to get one
Awesome video, love the car! I've been in the market for something new and this is quickly moving towards the top of my list.
I gotta say I’m already a massive fan of the mazda3 hatchback. I actually test drive one at the beginning of the year just haven’t found the spec I’m looking for for a price I wanna pay. But what you’ve done to yours is absolutely gorgeous. Very tastefully modded without clapping it out. Looks great love the build it looks like a lot of fun to drive
looks fresh man congrats!
I like the gen3 more than the 4th, but yours looks very good and clean. Congrats!
Nice HB! The very next upgrade I strongly suggest are the Corksport top engine and transmission mounts paired up with their under-pulley. This will give you a much faster throttle response and acceleration that you will absolutely feel. I am waiting for these parts to be delivered this week to prepare my engine for the VT Racing supercharger. The AFE intake is thew way to go, I run their filters in my half-bridge street ported RX8. That 2.5 is a superb and powerful engine that it's worth investing on performance mods to get the most out of it because it has a ton to give.
Love everything about your Mazda3 man! I too have a 2022 Mazda3 Hatchback but I have the NA AWD PF. I haven't done much to it just yet other than OEM spoiler and window tint but I was looking to get some coils and wheels along with the same front lip you have as well and the roof rack. I was definitely sold on the interior when I first test drove mine. I drove a Honda Civic Hatchback and a Toyota Corolla Hatchback both in manual but they didnt really hit right with me with the interior. I loved the manual for this as well but I wanted to try AWD for the one time and its amazing happy its not a CVT :) . Can't wait to see more content! Keep up the good work!
cvt sucks lol
Great video! I'm thinking of purchasing a Mazda 3 Hatchback and your video is convincing me even more!
You won’t be disappointed if you do!
nice to see guys getting the 6speed. looks great.
Tell you what bro, everytime i see one on the road I always admire the looks. I love this Mazda 3 Hatchbacka lot. I have a 21 Civic Type R and im jealous of your car lol, Its a very beautiful, elegant, and sport looking car in one. I love what you did to it also. Looks great !!!
So glad I stumbled onto this channel. Good stuff, bro! You definitely inspired me to do somethings to my car. For the chips, try out the Mazda pen. Would love to see what your thoughts on that are.
Appreciate the love and glad I could be an inspiration, that means so much! Appreciate the video idea, I’ll definitely look into it! ✊🏾
Great video! I just sold my f150 and bought a used 3 hatchback with turbo, AWD premium. This is my first Mazda ever and so far, I don’t want to stop driving it. Paint issue will probably happen to mine as well but I’m getting it detailed and ceramic coated. Your information and the way you presented was on point. Greetings from Nashville!
Beautiful, nice mods. I have this car too and all I've done is the strut tower bar, black carbon side mirror caps, and a 3M clear bra. I want to do tints and UHP A/S tires next. The Toyo Proxes that it comes with are OK but I imagine there are better handling tires out there.
I’ve been heavily considering buying one of these. This video seriously has swayed me in the direction to
These cars are like top 3 most beautiful Mazdas ever and probably the most beautiful hatchback ever made. I absolutely LOVE them. I went looking for one last year but couldn't find the spec I wanted and i ended up with an Accord Sport 2.0 and while I adore my Honda..i cant help but stare at the 3 Hatchback when i see it on the road.
oooh i might have to get that exhaust kit for mine. love that sound!
Nice rundown...hope this is my next daily.
Hey bro great vid, nice car!
Great vid pal! That new burgindy interior is just beautiful! Makes me want to buy a new Mazda 3 just for that 🥰
Yeah I really wanted the red interior but unfortunately the red interior paired with the manual is hard to find :/
Your ride looks awesome!
Wow man, this car is clean - props to you. I've been considering grabbing one of these cars and this video helped me make the call.
Sweet ride. Kudos!
Love the mods. Simple yet elegant
Looking good brother!! Love it!
Appreciate you!
Great job so far !!👍
Appreciate it! 🙂
How are you only at 4k subs man with video quality like this you deserve so much more!
Appreciate that my man!
Looks great!
Nice car and great job on the video.
That is one sick looking 3!!
Great Stuff ❤
looks cool nice work
Looks very clean! Was going to get the older model, the Looks was eye catching but did research and had a lot of problems...hopefully this new model is more solid 🤔
Love your car man and i love those wheels its sick. I might upgrade to these wheels for my i20 Nline
What a beautiful car, I finally got one
Much like most of the mods to your Crosstrek, I love what you've done with this Mazda. These Mazda 3 manual hatchbacks are on my short list. It's lines/body are unlike anything else. I live in Texas too and my one worry is the ground clearance considering how bad the roads and streets are where I drive. Have you heard of a lift kit for this vehicle(2023-2024)? Just a couple more inches of ground clearance would be a huge difference. Thanks for sharing the mods. Your Mazda looks amazing.
With my Anovia Titan I was able to install the Anovia center caps. By the way tried the Anovia wheels after I saw your Anovia wheel video. Thanks.
Love your car man right now I’m driving a 21 sonata n line … man I’m thinking about getting one of these .. great choice of mods
nice vid man, Go Road Runners 🤙
ive owned a 2010 2.5 6 speed for a decade, and it's finally gotten to be too much to repair, so im looking at a 2022 AWD turbo tomorrow, i cant get over how nice these cars look. Love the look man.
That car looks super nice!
very nice car friend i hope it lives a long long life have a good day :D
This thing is clean, I can see myself doing some of these mods to my Mazda 3.
Love my 21 hatch turbo. Can't wait to deck it out.
I'm strongly considering getting the VT superchager for my '22 hatch. Too sporty and beautiful of a car to be so far behind the type R, Veloster N, and other hot hatches. From what i've been researching you can get boosted 300crhp and 230-250whp and not risk engine/trans damage. Works for manual trans as well, more power than the turbo version for less the cost
Do you have a link?
Looks very good!
Sheeesh this thing is clean I dig it
I just picked up a 2021 Turbo and stumbled on this channel. Brandon you an engaging presenter making some thoughtful, quality content. I especially liked the Corksport mid pipe with HKS exhaust episode and all the videos comparisons.
I really appreciate that man!
@@StradysWorldwill this be good for a new driver who is 24 good job?
i bought 23 ' carbon edition hatch,love it
I have the same tints on my red mazda 3 and a roof rack. Love it. Mine is a 2014 6spd with 360,000 miles. I haven't had to do any work to the engine, original clutch still, no seals are leaking. Last mechanic who did my oil change asked me when I had the engine rebuilt because he couldn't believe how dry the engine bay was. I just took a clay bar to it last week. It's looking good.
That’s awesome! I hope to get the same life out of this 3.
Im a Subaru guy but i gotta say thats a very clean build 🤙 cheers!
yo ride's smokin' man!! cool
As a lube tech, I agree with your bumper lip install.
Great work. I just got the 2023 and am totally in love with it. Taking this baby to the retirement home :)
Clean! Nice.
nice looking car man i also got a mazda 3 2021 same color as yours , mines 2.5 regular no turbo i put a corksport short ram intake on it and replaced my 21 inch resignator with 12inch one , she rumbles when i start her up, sounds awesome i also put some coating inside on mine too cause of the scratches but beautiful interior looks baddass outside with those rims
Good video and great looking car. My wife has a 2016 CX-5 Touring FWD that we bought used in 2016 with 21k miles on it. It’s not mine so it’s not modified (I would have all the CS stuff on it). Hers is also white and the rock chips have always been bad. They use fewer coats or something it seems like. Anyway, the only real thing I wanted to say was she’s now at 189k miles and we still have had no real issues. One thing under warranty at the beginning, batteries, brakes, basic stuff. One front end link broke for the sway bar so replaced those. Still on stock struts and shocks even without issues. Otherwise absolutely perfect. With all the basic maintenance, these 2.5’s last forever.
looks great... great vid, love my M3 2016, thank goodness for covid just hitting 46200.
I'm in Texas as well and my black miatas hood is destroyed from rock chips. I think the roads here are rough. Great looking car!
Ride looks dope
Nice car young man. Your World rocks.
That's clean.
Very nice. Thanks and algo's
Really nice looking! Hoping to get the Mazda3 as my first car. Id love to see you wrap it! And maybe a carbon fiber steering wheel?
Wrapping it is definitely something I plan on doing someday! Also the carbon fiber steering wheel is definitely on the list.
I love the plate location on the front grill
Just bought a 2024 version of this manual transmission in soul-red crystal metallic. Only one available in Houston. Its so nice!
Just got my 22 M3 turbo hatch! Love your videos- very informative. Do you have a link for the rain guard/visors? Thank you sir!
I have them linked in the video description of my visor video kzhead.info/sun/mMeDkciPbmiGlYk/bejne.html
Where do you get the lip? Can you link it? Love the review man!
I have the 2021 sedan and have had zero issues. Just maintenance and like you it's like a Mercedes without the price.
Love the car inside and out, did such a bang up job on the additions; both stylish and practical!! I had a question tho- where’d you get the ‘SHIFT SHROUD/ COVER’ from, I’ve been looking to change mine??
I got mine from a company called Shift Royal. But you can find them everywhere especially eBay or Amazon!
I'm saving this video. I got the Homura machine grey. Not a fun of esthetics interventions, more of a purist, but you've done a great job.
Best out there for the price!
I love your video bro, i planning to buy mazda 3
Appreciate it man! And definitely you can’t go wrong with this little hatch!
Big ups on not drilling. 👍🏼
Very nice setup and I'm a fan of this and was looking to scoop up the AWD version but I am not keen on the leg room in the back. Good power and AWD but that legroom detered me.
Good video👌🏻👌🏻
2022 Mazda3 Sport GT Turbo here. I wanted a manual fwd but Canadian winters can get snowy. I just had my window visors removed, I found them absolutely useless, the sun still pierced through the lightly tinted acrylic, and they make a slight wind noise ahh! Found out I can just drop all 4 windows with the remote fob anyway. And I only put my roof rack on if I have to carry something, wind noise! I got the ambient interior light and light up stainless steel door sills and love those!
Nice Ride 😊 Keep up the mods, it is looking good. You might want to go in and look at the Turbo version now just to see the body. That thing has subtle changes that look sexy. ... I have a 2016 with the 6S Manual and 2.5. It is a base model pure commuter car. I have 106K on it now. The only issue, and I mean only issue, I have encountered is around 60K the Brake pads will start to disintegrate and the calipers will eat your rotors in a couple days... it happens fast. Maybe 1 week from the 1st chirp to grinding rotors. So keep a watch for that. The rear calipers lasted until now (106K) but I just had them replaced as those were eating pads in 4 weeks. Also, I have no undercoating, not paint protectant and no rust or fading or pealing and I live in Ohio (Rust Belt). Mazda did a bang up job on this vehicle. 👍
