Big on the outside but tiny inside

published

Pros: Mazda CX3 is very intelligent looking car. We have the red and it that looks makes it expensive looking car. Very fuel effecient. Built in gps is a plus but at first I find it weird for it on the top middle of the dashboard but get used to it. Cruise control is a plus too.
Cons: The interior seems so tiny. The boot of the car is smaller than the Honda Jazz. Back seats feel very cramped.

Soul Red Paint problems

published

Lovely car to drive, handles fine. Not a fan of the istop though.
Small interior, but was the size I wanted, as I previously had a Mazda 2.
Does not seem to use any more fuel than the Mazda 2.
Soul Red paint gets stone-chips right through the paint, very frequently. My car had done less than 5000km before I noticed the problem. I have since had 6 stone chips repaired and the car is only 12 months old. In over 35 years of driving, I have never had stone chips go entirely through the paint. It is costing a lot to be repaired, and the car is not going to look good when I want to sell it. I have had 2 spray-painters do the repairs, and both say it is a common problem with Soul REd

Great car, cute, but not roomy

published

I love the look of my CX3 but there isn't a huge boot or much leg room in the back. I didn't mind this, as I don't use them too often. The navigation was hard to work out how to use & was easier to use my phone. The voice command usually gets things wrong. The car drives nicely & has been very reliable & comfortable, however, i don't think I'd buy another one. I'd say a Mazda 3 would be better for the same money.

Great car to drive!!

published

Have had the CX-3 for just over a year and a half now and I love it! It's a great car to drive, very smooth and has great fuel economy. I don't go through as much petrol as I used to in my old car! It's a great small SUV!

great

published

driving experience-wise is pretty good, handling well, but still got quite a lot of noises .. nice and simply interior, very classic. plenty of leg room and really reliable. one tank of petrol can run pretty much 600km, which is more than enough for me for one wk. the boot is a bit small though, as well as the back seat. Great for young couples, not so great for families.

Absolutely love this car! Best car I have ever driven!

published

An absolute dream to drive, very smooth and handles very well. Very spacious for a smaller car and the over all finish of the car (dashboard and interior) is amazing for the price. Extremely economical and reliable, just an all round great car. Could not be happier with my purchase! After such a great experience I will never purchase anything but a Mazda.

Smoothest ride!

published

So drive this car is wonderful it is so smooth and witha ll the extra hidden features it's a pleasure. A tank a fuel lasted my over 2 weeks with the fantastic istop feature. Interior is great and I would recommend this car to everyone who wants a small sized SUV. It's a winner!

Love this car!

published

Excellent handling, good suspension makes it a smooth ride and the comfort is ten out of ten. I adore the soul red colour. Its great on fuel economy and I make any excuse to drive it. The service at Old Mac Mazda Cleveland is brilliant. Lauren is the one to see. Its been an excellent experience all round.

My dream car

published

So glad I Chose my zoom zoom CX3 as it is a fabulous small car that is so so comfortable, easy to drive with
bells and whistles. Love the blind spot mirroring, reverse camera. Interior very stylish. What isn't perfect is the height adjustment of driver seat, however I added sheepskin covers and couldn't fault it now. The Mazda CX3 is a little dearer to run than my old echo but I expected that and for comfortable all wheel drive with plenty of boot space it's a dream.
