I owned a Mx5 GT for 11 years and unfortunately needed to get a slightly larger car but the choice was clear and that was a Cx3 GT AWD. Bought new in 2019, has every safety feature and convenience feature available. It’s paid off! And it only has 44k miles. I love the way it looks and the way it drives. It reminds me a lot of my old Mx5. I still love driving it even after 6 years. It has been very reliable and it’s saved me from having an accident several times. I find it fascinating that the Cx3 came out in 2015 and as of 2025 it is still sold in some countries with very minimal changes. But looks wise it’s remained unchanged for a decade, to me that says Mazda got something right with this car. In 2016 it received a 5 star IIHS top rating, and it even scored high on the recently updated IIHS safety standards. My favorite features are the radar cruise control that almost drives the car for you, the adaptive led headlights are amazing they turn as you turn, the auto brights are just genius. The Bose 7 speaker sound system is great. But the heated parchment leather seats are comfortable and classy with the power drivers seat. Believe it or not the 2019 has a total of 8 cup holders, 4 in the front and 4 in the back. The one touch power sunroof is a welcome feature (highly recommend) but lastly the way that the AWD system works is genius…it uses several sensors to detect the need for it and it activates automatically. (It uses the outside temp sensor, and the speed of the auto rain sensing wiper(s) as well as your speed and use of the front or rear defrost & engages the AWD if it thinks it’s needed) the led taillights are bright and sporty. It’s the perfect size for a single person or a younger couple, it has adequate cargo room for trips and the back seats are 60/40 foldable. And if you so desire you can opt for a rooftop cargo rack. One more thing I’d like to mention is the impressive resale value. Oh and the heated steering wheel is very welcomed when it’s 15° outside. I hope this helps anyone looking for a great looking reliable small suv.

Fantastic little car. Small yes. But a great fuel efficient commuter or starter car for a young professional or family. Mine has the white leather seats and I love the interior. Note: if you dont get Navigation your clock will only ever display the correct time if your phone is plugged in. You also cannot unlock the truck while the vehicle is on which means you have to turn it off when dropping someone off and they need something out of the trunk. Other than that is has been perfect for the 62,000 that I have had it. Handles like a dream on snow and ice with winter tires. Heated steering wheel and wiper park are my favorite features.

Will not start when it is really cold!

This is the second year I am finding my car will not start when it is really cold. I have a new battery, and my car is only a 2021. I just do not understand. I have not had this problem with other cars I previously owned. Disappointed.
