2016 Mazda CX-3 consumer reviews

We wanted a small suv or crossover that had AWD and good gas mileage. This fit the bill and your site created a "price war" which gave us a great deal! Love our new car!!

Originally I looked passed the CX-3 because I thought it didn't have enough power. After the salesman had me test drive one I was happily surprised at how peppy it felt. This car is so fun to drive. The handling is fantastic like a little go cart. I live in Minneapolis and had a great opportunity to try it out in the snow. The all wheel drive is amazing. I was able to plow though 6 inches of snow up steep hills with no problem.

I bought a CX-5 in early 2015 and loved the vehicle. I saw the CX-3 and just had to have one. I purchased a Grand Touring model, Ceramic Metallic with the Parchment leather interior. Being it is a GT model, I get the moonroof, Bose sound system, navigation, automatic climate control, leather interior and other niceties. It is much smaller than the CX-5, but I don't need a lot of hauling/people space. The styling is gorgeous, inside and out. It is so much more fun to drive than the CX-5 and I actually enjoy driving for a change. Being it is the GT model, I have the Sport mode with paddle shifters that allows you to change gears as you would in a manual-transmission car. I am totally in love with this car and am so glad that I bought it, even though I lost a lot of money trading in a relatively new car.

I've enjoyed every mile I've driven so far. At this point I have only driven my new CX-3 for around 1500 miles. I drive an hour everyday to work. My CX-3 has heated leather seats, navigation system, and the Bose stereo speaker system making driving a pleasure. When I arrive at work I feel refreshed and energized ready to take on the day! Not only that, I even look forward to the hour ride home! The CX-3 cruises with style and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

I had a 2016 Acura that had a defect that could not get fixed so I decided to trade the car in. I saw the Mazda CX-3 on the road and fell in love with the styling. I did some research, test drove the car and purchased a GT AWD in Soul Red with Almond Leather Seats. This little CUV has great acceleration, good fuel economy and is really fun to drive. Smooth Transmission, very good ride with little road noise, and it turns on a dime. I was disappointed that you can not get a power seat, however I have not missed it. The infotainment system is easy to use and the Bose sound system is great! There is not an on-off button for the sound system so you have to press a mute button or pause. So when you start up the car the radio is always on unless you press mute. I am use to it now. I have owned 2 other Mazdas and they build great cars. The CX-3 is a great design and I would recommend test driving. I test drove an HR-V and it was very nov\ce looking, but it is boring to drive.

Test drove all the compact and sub-compact SUV's . None compare in fit , finish and most importantly .....sheer driving pleasure . This is not a soccer mom SUV ..... It's compact , ultra fuel efficient , drop dead gorgeous and exilerateing to drive .

It's amazing how Mazda has excelled in every aspect of new car design and performance in the last several years. Our CX-3 has all the appointments to make our driving experience comfortable and fantastic.

I got this vehicle six weeks ago, I tried all the other makes and ended up with the cx3, I'm quite pleased with this vehicle, styling is great, good comfort, ride is excellent, good gas mileage, it's just a great vehicle.
