2016 Mazda CX-3 User Reviews

"I believe the 2017 Grand Touring and 2016 Touring were comparable in power "

"I believe the handling was comparable between the Grand Touring and Touring."

"The bigger 2.5L engine seemed peppier than the CX-3s 2.0L engine, it seemed to accelerate a lil quicker than the CX-3"

"The CX-3 is obviously smaller, and tighter turning radious, felt like driving a go kart, stopped quickly, and sharper than the CX-5. The shocks were ok, and you didn’t feel all of the bumps like other reviews have mentioned, maybe I got the slushier tires or something from the dealership, but this was only a test drive, I didn’t end up buying one. "

"The CX-5 looks like it should be the size that it is, the CX-3, looks too small, and the CX-7s and 9s look like a stretched out version, of what it should look like...the CX-5"

"Again the CX-3 was adequate front seating for a sub compact car for my daughter, but compared to the. CX-5, which we ended up buying, there is no comparison. Much more room, much more comfortable overall."

"There wasn’t enough leg room in the back of the CX-3 to get into the back seat, once in the car the head room was ok, and the foot room was adequate, but getting into the back seat wasn’t easy, and I’m only 6’0 tall, the CX-5 is perfect size for the whole family"

"The rear cargo area of the CX-3, was enough for a couple of golf bags, and if that’s all you need this car to do, then you are fine, but the CX-5 fits more, and drives relatively the same, very easily."

"Storage space, more power with the 2.5L motor, roof racks, blind spot, Bluetooth, navigation, 40-20-40 rear split fold down seating, comfortable cloth seating, sunroof.....all of the above were better than the CX-3 in comparison "

"The over all size of the car, even with comparable features, bells and whistles as the CX-3, you just seem to get more from one car. If you purchase the. CX-3, you are kind of limited to just one type of vehicle use, grocery getter, golf club assistant, commuter.... You don’t really have a “stepping up” option to this car. Where as the CX-5, you can step down to the same type, and role as the CX-3 pretty much, so it’s really two vehicle types in one car, overall rating wise."

"We meant to by the CX-3 for the looks and similar body size to the older Rav4 SUV my daughters first car displayed. Upon test driving both, and matching the cargo spacing needs, and performance, the CX-5 is just a better SUV overall. So I am unbiased, until you test them side by side, you really can’t judge them."
