Has anyone done an apples to apples comparison of this versus the Mazda 3 hatch with AWD Turbo?

I haven't driven either, but my assessment is they are basically polar opposite in every way except the relatively small hatch/cargo capability (the 3 being a bit better) and relatively high power for their size.

The 3 isn't available in a manual in the AWD turbo configuration, right?

No, because it's not apples to apples. It's hand built, 300hp with driver adjustable AWD and power going to all four wheels. Versus, a production 185hp FWD with a computer deciding which, if any, rear wheel might get a little power.

How so? Mazda 3 is (from an admittedly quick google) only ~100 pounds heavier in curb weight. It has an arguably nicer interior, which is part of that.

The GR Corolla feels like a special-built car from the get-go. The boomy exhaust, the firm ride (it has a stiffer ride than my GR86), and the immersive feel of the engine is what really differentiates it.

Lol of course! I even asked the sales people if I can keep them, it makes a nice souvenir with the GR logo lol. I haven’t checked my air pressure though but it’s been cold so I want to say it’s ok. The ride is firm but in a good, performance car-kind of way lol.
