Love it so far!

Car drives beautifully, very smooth. I have already driven in snow and feel very comfortable. The interior of the car is very nice.

Love how streamlined and comfortable this car is.

This car meets my needs. Its big enough to cart things around yet not as large as an SUV. I really like that about it. The drive is ribbon smooth, it takes corners beautifully, the added safety features that come with the tech package are fantastic and I'm thinking I am going to like the gas milage! Its classy and beautifully stream lined and the interior is luxurious! Thank you Mazda!

Great little crossover!

You can not think of the CX-3 as a SUV. This is a crossover, small comfy, great ride and awesome performance for a 4 cyl. engine. Why you can't put it in the SUV category is the fact the rear storage area is small. seats in the rear do fold down for more space but that will limit you to 2 people in the car with a max of 3 if you only drop one of the rear seats. The only complaint so far from passengers is the rear seating is tight and can be hard to get in to and out of. I mostly drive by myself so this isn't a big issue for me. Mazda gives yo a lot for the price. Mine was 24K and has a sun roof Satellite radio, cruise control, heated from seats, power windows and locks, keyless entry, push to start, and a back up camera among other things. Coming from an older car that had practically none of this things I feel amazed! Take it for a test drive and check the storage to see if it's right for you.
