Mazda CX-3 (2015 - 2020) 2.0 SE 5d Auto Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
GOOD POINTS. A handsome looking car with excellent performance from the 2 litre petrol engine driving through a PROPER automatic gearbox with a torque converter. Also a PROPER handbrake not an electronic push button waiting to go expensively wrong. Currently achieving over 44mpg which may improve further as the engine runs in. Good riding and handling qualities on the 16 inch wheels. I also road tested the Sport version on 18 inch wheels which I cannot recommend.
BAD POINTS. Poorly laid out interior as already mentioned. I wish the infotainment screen would fold flat when not in use as it looks like an afterthought. Restricted rear visibility makes parking sensors essential. No spare wheel as standard but I was able to specify a space saver kit at extra cost. I find the i-stop function really annoying and have to remember to disable it before every journey as the default setting is for it to work. It must result in additional wear to the starting mechanism and is in my opinion an economy measure too far.
TO SUMMARISE. A real driver's car which could be even better with a little more attention to detail. Despite my criticisms I am glad i bought it.
How reliable do you find the car?
No teething troubles so far. Everything works as it should.Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
I knew from reviews that interior space was limited, but better use could have been made of it. There is no front parcel shelf, no map pockets in the front seat backs and all the door pockets are very small. The fresh air vents are set too low, making it difficult to direct air onto the face where it is most needed.About their car
