No longer have little ones so it’s just my car. There is no comparison to my 2007 Kia Rio. The little guy was great while I had him but needed a serious upgrade. Now that I’m getting a little older I was looking for a little more clearance. Did a ton of research and for the price range the Mazda cx-3 was the best overall value. One final note my brother had a Mazda3 and put over 250,000 miles on it with just normal maintenance. This was great testimony to the quality of Mazda.

I am 5'3" and looking over the hood is a problem....I had to buy a tail bone cushion to raise me up another 2" so that I can see over the hood.....The hood should be slanted down a little for better visibility for short people.....I am still trying to learn all the electronics and there is many to learn and understand...I have not checked miles per gallon and it has a small gas tank.Back seating is bad...and radio cannot be turned off unless all is off.....GPS had to be updated as soon as I got it and it was a pain trying to update the card.....finally found a site that helped with my Mazda GPS update.... no cargo space one minion could fit

Cute in and out...but that's it. NO TRUNK RELEASE!

Other than being cute in and out, engine is very under powered especially when more that one person inside. If you haul 4 people, expect to switch on Sport mode, meaning no OD in order to keep the revs high and mpg low. Car has no trunk release of any kind, not even the inside push button that any basic car has. For a $27,000 car, this is sooo cheap. Wished I catch it before buying. Cargo/trunk is the size of a Honda Fit. Even that has remote trunk release- inside button AND key fob. No Android Auto and Apple CarPlay if you want your phone paired. Honda has it on all its cars. This car is OK for ONE person that doesn't do shopping and only wants to drive a "cutie" with useless 19" wheels. Don't waste your money if you want more that that.

I’ve only had this car for six months and I dread driving the CX3 until it’s paid off. The gas mileage is pitiful. Averaging only 240-260 mpg on a full tank of gas. I’m planning a road trip soon and anticipating many, many more fuel stops. Now on to the acceleration. It is slow and sluggish. Make sure you have plenty of room and time if you want to pass anyone on the road. The CX3 has no cubbies for change, umbrellas or other miscellaneous items you keep in your car. My best advice, say NO!!

Junk

I am 58 and this is the first time I have ever left a Honda to try something different! Big Mistake the Mazda Cx3 horrible, it’s a 2018 58.000 hundred miles on it, it’s in the shop for a blown head gasket luckily under warranty but we have to wait until they find another engine and won’t offer me a rental car to use for the 2 ta 3 weeks they said it may take! Before this happened from day 1 I hated this car so many reasons, it only holds so many gallons of gas like 290 miles, no console, no arm rest, no space at all in the front! I can barely get it up to speed getting it on the hi way, it’s noisy, no frills, anyone saying this is above a 3 must of never had a Honda or even a decent car! When I get it back as I am going to struggle to find rides to work and home as they have accepted that something was faulty and won’t give me a car to use, I’m unloading this junk the very next day!

This car probably should not exist. Way too narrow, not a comfortable ride.

Very good little suv but limited cargo space I wish it was 3 cylinder 111 horsepower n159 torque and improvement in miles like engine cylinder deactivation which reduces gas consumption and move led lights also move paint choices for every Mazda model
