General Disappointment

Limited Driver View (lots of blind spots). Read head rests cover seat when down jutting out and making ride uncomfortable in back seat. When up, they block driver rear view sight and leave about a 18 in view space between head rests. Controls in panel between seats and the toggle to select is annoying and while voice control works fine, radio stations take too many "clicks" to get to. As well, touch screen is disabled when driving. Annoying.

Zoom...Zooom

There are two things that I dislike about the car. There is no center compartment to store things in and it did not have an electric seat available. I enjoy driving the car overall and it does have lots of Zoom....Zoom. I purchased the car because I wanted something smaller but did not want to give up luxury because of that. I have had 3 Mazda's and have never had problems with them.

Great little vehicle

The MAZDA CX-3 is small in size a true 4 seater small trunk but super fun to drive. It handles like a sport vehicle and agile in my opinion. Would had kept it if not for the small size. So in honor to that experienc, I opted for moving to a bigger size with the new MAZDA CX-5. I hope this vehicle give me a similar experience as the cx-3 did for me.

I do around 35,000 a year and usually I fall out of love with my vehicle but not this time. I currently have 61,000 on my 2016 and the car is perfect in every way.

This car is loaded, comfortable, and a bargain compared to other SUVs. Other suvs with similar features cost considerably more to purchase and maintain. I average 28-29 mpg around town, 30+ on the highway. Sufficient cargo room for its size, and adults have expressed good rear leg space. It starts quick and handles exceptionally well around corners and rainy days. I’ve only driven a bit on snow and it drove fine, taking obvious precautions for bad weather conditions. I’m selling it because of personal life changes.
