New small SUV

published

Had the car about a month. Easy to drive, like the big display screen with Maps, reversing camera etc. Interior is well laid out. Car performs well but the ride is way too harsh for Aussie roads. Bumps etc really jar through the suspension. Two level luggage area is not useful, have taken out parcel shelf so now have one level. Model range is very wide and price jump between the levels is exorbitant. Hope the first revision looks at the suspension...I30 etc is far better. No temperature gauge is not wise for us oldies who like to see whether the radiator has a leak and the engine is about to implode.

CX-3 is a great car - but Skyactiv auto shifts into 5th and 6th to early.

published

Have done 6000ks. Generally all very good but auto transmission shifts into 5th & 6th too early (5th at about 50km/h and 6th at just over 60km/h) resulting in the engine lugging around at only 1,100rpm, at these speeds. It will shift down (a bit reluctantly) if you put your foot down but performance feels apathetic when cruising around with a light foot. Sports mode is too much the other way and is too aggressive for normal driving. Can appreciate car is designed this way for "fuel efficiency" but if it shifted into 5th and 6th at slightly higher speeds or had a setting between "normal" and "sports", it would then be much nicer to drive.
