2016 Mazda CX-3 consumer reviews

I bought the Grand Touring trim. I absolutely love it! It is loaded with advanced features, and feels like a luxury car. Great handling on the road too!

This car is perfect for anyone wanting the qualities of an SUV with great gas mileage. It?s on the smaller side but doesn?t feel small or cramped when you?re driving. The screen is in a great place where even if you?re looking at it, you still have good vision of the road. As with other cars, the screen is set lower in the center console so you have to look down to view it. I have the AWD model and it performs like a champ in rain, snow, ice. It?s not the quickest car because it is a 4cyl, but throw it in sport mode and that changes ALOT. Just uses more gas because of the nature of the mode. The power steering is notably better than a lot of cars I have driven. The interior layout of the car is very well thought out. Sleek, modern and nice to look at. It?s also practical in terms of where everything is located.

While this car drove nicely and had good performance on streets and the highway, it was really small inside. The trunk space was good, but I felt cramped in the drivers seat (I'm 5'5" and 220lb), and there was NO leg room in the back seat. Not good for me since I need a car seat in the back. Shame.

This is such a great car! It's built well, runs very smooth, and has a look of a far more expensive car.

Love the look. Fun to drive. Consistently gets 30+mpg. The back seat leg room is cramped for adults and the interior engineering could be improved. I wish the dash screen folded down when not in use, or was less obtrusive. The arm rest needs to be up to use the cup holder. Otherwise, nice looking interior.

I love my CX-3! It looks sharp, but still sporty. It's sooo fun to drive! the only down side is it's small on space.

I had a Jeep Renegade that was totaled. I didn't like the gas mileage on the Jeep so I decided to go with the Mazda CX3 because I really like the styling. I bought a demo with onlly 6,000 miles and got a great buy! I have been very happy with the gas mileage in comparison to the Jeep. Plus this car is nicely appointed for a very good price and drives nicely. I thought it would be too tight in the load area, but I really have not had a problem. I am very happy with hit - but have only owned it for a month.

This is an ideal car that compliments my size and my taste. It has a lot of quality features that meet my expectations and curves that I admire. There are some details that bother's me. My sunglasses don't fit in the sunglasses compartment. The armrest annoyingly squeaks, it's uncomfortable and I find it to be a waste of space. I don't have a place for my small purse to keep near and hidden. After some time in the car, it would be helpful for a car that size to have a comfortable armrest that is also storage space that can slide over the cup holders when not in use. The wrist rest I don't use because it's too low regardless if my arm is resting on the armrest or not... my wrist never touches it.

I spent several months researching compact SUVs and had my choices narrowed down to 4 cars. I stumbled upon this gem when I went to test drive the Mazda 3 hatchback (not an SUV, I know). I took it for a test drive and was sold. All other models paled in comparison, when you weighed options, styling and price. I chose the Touring AWD model with the premium package. It has all the bells and whistles at a very reasonable price point. The exterior design is stylish and the interior feels luxurious. The car is fun to drive. My only complaint is the placement of the cup holders and the armrest feels a but flimsy. All in all I'm very happy with my choice.

This car has "zoom zoom"! It's quick and handles well on the road. I bought it for it's great gas mileage, and filling up dosent break the bank!
