Poor Suspension

Owned it for 20k miles now. The suspension is not firm in a sporty or beneficial sort of way, but rather feels blown out and nearly dysfunctional. This in addition to the buzzy engine noise that makes it sound like its trying too hard makes the overall feel of the car very cheap. It is also deceptively small.

Fantastic car

My CX-3 GT is 6 years old now and I love it since the day I bought it. No issues driving in snow with a good set of snow tires. This car has cost me nothing. Looking forward to the next 6 years. I usually buy and drive into the ground but it is going to last a while yet. 60000 miles so far. Best commuter car I have ever had. Fantastic fuel economy and fun to drive.

Amazing ride

What a great car. For an 8 year old vehicle, this thing moves. Feels much faster than 146 HP. Smooth ride. Lots of little paint chips in the Soul red, guessing the paint application isn't the best but at first glance, you would think it's a brand new 2024. Very impressed
