AWD turbo Mazda3

Already wish it had a standard but this brings hope for the future. Mazdaspeed3 was 1st boosted car I ever got to drive and despite the torque steer issues it was a blast.

From what i read, seems the turbo is for efficiency and not for fun.

Usually when pedestrian cars come with AWD and turbos, they take out the manual transmission, as they've done here. Yawn.

I don't know how to feel about them taking out the manual transmission.

A nice DCT would be Ok, just no CVT please. BTW not sure how many more years the manual will be offered in cars.
Doubt they will exist in the electric vehicle offerings. Be rare if offered in hybrid models as well.
