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!!

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
