Great car

Beautiful shape, good to drive in the snow days. I had it for 6 years and love it. The only complaint is the small gas tank. The dealership for maintenance is good. Overall I am satisfied and bought a similar one years later for my family member.

Fun to drive, too small for real life

I wanted something different with up to date safety options. But this car is too small and too slow. I see from online reviews that the CX30 is still too small. Expensive to repair small items. Tires were crappy. Had to replace right away.

Small, fuel efficient crossover

Bought this car for variable 4wd for the best of both worlds and its safety features. Unfortunately this card doesn't have all the safety options I would want. I find it too small and the CX-5 too big.

Great Cross Over

I live up the hill, with challenging traffic and weather. This little car works very well for me, all around. Carry some load, agile, decent mpg and interior is comfy. The only complain is the engine roar abit in a cold day early morning.

Sporty all wheel drive hatchback

Fun little sporty AWD hatchback. Only downside is a small gas tank. Infotainment can be a little tricky to connect to Pandora sometimes. Six speed automatic works great and the sport function works well to hold gears in the twisty mountain roads. Good tech, but hopefully Android Auto will be added as an additional software update soon.

Very satisfied

This car is perfect for a family with one child and even better for a single person or couple. It's very small and easy to park and get around town. It looks very unique and sporty

My New CX3

I love my new car! It's a dream to drive! I love the way it handles, I love the beautiful red color, I love the style and am totally thrilled to be behind the wheel. The dealership let me drive it over the weekend and I am quite sure I made the right choice for me

Mazada CX 3

I knew I needed another car but was indecisive on what kind to get. I researched and Mazda had the best reviews for crossovers. After going to Lee Johnson Mazda and test driving a CX 3, I WAS SOLD!!! It is the BEST vehicle I have ever owned. I absolutely LOVE it. Very smooth ride and the technology is awesome. I could go on and on about the Mazda CX 3.

2016 Mazda CX-3 GT in Dynamic Blue Mica

This turned out to be the perfect car for our small family. AWD capabilities will allow us to pass the Cascade mountain range without worries in rain or snow. It's got the handling, power, and athleticism that I was used to with my 2002 Mazda Miata but with the space to hold our kids and daily cargo. The color was bold and refreshing, but not obnoxious.

Fun, zippy car but loud tire noise and labor intensive interface

The new Mazda CX3 is fun to drive. It's zippy and quick! The inside is really nice with premium leather and suede and super comfy seats. An all around good car. But, there are some downsides - loud tire noise, labor intensive radio interface, hidden cup holders and non-electric seats. Over 30mph the tire noise will drown out your radio. We've gotten used to it but it's definitely annoying. We hope Mazda makes updates to the radio interface. To navigate your phone via bluetooth takes a lot of steps and is just not worth the time. The arm rest is really nice but unfortunately hides the cup holders - want to have a grande latte? You'll have to forgo the armrest. Lastly, while the seats are plush and extremely comfortable they're manual. For $30,000 Mazda could have thrown in electric seats. All that said, this is still a nice car - pretty to look at inside and out, and worth getting the SkyActiv tech - especially if you're accident prone.
