I was long intrigued by the CX3 and decided to Trade my 2018 Mazda 3 hatchback base model for it and couldn't be any more happy its basically a mini CX5 but with much better fuel mpg. Hope one day Mazda will bring it back.

For transparency I adore Mazda, been driving one since July 1991. Combination of rural & suburban driving with 33+ mpg. I have not noticed noise as an issue, has the tightest steering I've ever enjoyed with the smallest turning radius. Plenty of giddy up. My wife has a van and I have a pick up so I don't use the rear seats all that much for passengers but have not had a complaint when used. Traded in my 2012 Mazda 6 for this, some might say a step down ... I'd call it a downsizing with style.

The suspension is so firm that the ride is not comfortable when going over bumps on the road.

The title best describes this car, and all other rivals. It is extremely annoying to spend a couple of months test-driving different brand small SUV choices, as they are all way overpriced and extremely underpowered. The Mazda cx-3 is no exception, especially in the base sport trim. What is amusing to me, and should be to anyone else who actually wants more for their money, is that engineers continuously build underpowered cars.This is the norm for small SUV's and the CX3'S rivals.The Ford Escape, Honda CRV, Kia Sportage, Volkswagen Tiguan, Chevy Equinox, and Jeep Compass. The Mazda cx-3 is being sold fairly well mostly because of its exterior styling, which is very modern compared to others. I owned the 2016 Mazda 3 and interior quality and craftsmanship, tho way above average, was lessened by using cheap materials, and by not offering better standards. Consumers need to demand more for their money. There is no reason at all, given other engine choices that are used in different models by each brand, that the standard for small SUVs should be a 200 horsepower engine. My 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo has 200 horsepower and achieves 33 miles per gallon on the interstate. Why then I ask you,do we HAVE TO spend upwards of $30k and more to get WHAT SHOULD BE THE STANDARD IN AN SUV?The CX3 is a great looking car,but it's insulting to me,engineers though a paltry 2 h.p bump was even an idea on the "tweets list".148 hp makes this car sound like a sewing machine,and just doesn't justify an industry average,base msrp of $21 to $23k dollars.I for one,am tired of being ripped off.You should be too.

I like nothing about the car but the gas mileage is decent! I have no room in my console area, it takes me a lot of time to get it up to speed to get on highways, and I think now a gasket is blown a 2019 and I’m having engine problems under 60,000 miles ! It’s junk and I will never leave Honda vehicles again, first time in my life I decided to try something different and never again!
