2016 Mazda CX-3 Reviews

The vehicles favorite feature for me is the backup camera! I love being able to see what is going on behind me! Also, the Bluetooth connection is easy as pie, it is extremely comfortable, and the drive is very smooth! The leather cleans up very nicely with armor all, and easily looks like a brand new vehicle. The doors in the vehicle are large enough to hold another drink in the pockets and are an excellent size! The fact that the back seat cup holder can go into the seat is wonderful because with two kids, they have a holder for each side, and still have the ability for a third person, which is where the doors play an awesome role. And the Bluetooth sound quality is perfect!

The Mazda cx-3 grand touring is sporty and quick. The seat length is comfortable and the torque on hills is good. The layout of the controls is not conducive for driving and it is impossible to use while driving. The heads up display is fantastic as is the distance assist and lane change alerts. The blind spot alarm is invaluable as well as the backup camera. My only hesitation is the car sometimes sputters upon acceleration. And it is easy to damage the wiper reservoir if using the vehicle off road.

The look and feel of the car is superb. I love driving this car, this car would be near perfect if a few things were different. 1. The car is too small. I am 5'11'' and I need my seat almost all the way back for me to comfortably drive. When I am driving, it is unrealistic to expect an adult to comfortably sit behind me - they would be squished, and I would feel their knees pressing against my back. Realistically, this car cannot comfortably seat 4 average sized adults. 2. I wish the trunk were large enough to hold golf clubs without having to put one of the back seats down. If a sedan can hold golf clubs in the trunk, so should a small SUV. 3. There needs to be a center console in every car. I wish I had realized that there was no center console before I made the decision to buy. I thought it was a standard feature in every car and am disappointed that the cx-3 lacks that feature.

Overall it is a great car! Very reliable, great gas mileage, and quite comfortable for a smaller vehicle. For those who enjoy technology in their vehicle I would say skip this one, because it is very basic in that area. There’s a screen less radio, CD player, and room in the center console to plug in a USB that allows you to play music from your device over the stereo but that is it. Very little for those who love tech hut great those who want a simple reliable ride.

I love my little Mazda, it is able to withstand all types of weather conditions well and has not had problems in the time that I have had it. There is lots of space for a small car and it is super comfortable. The gas mileage is great especially for someone on a strict budget. I am often driving in both rural and urban areas in which that car does great. It is a very safe car with breaks that are very easy to use and the sound system is amazing as well. It is a good car for a small family or for a teenagers first car. The sports mode is one of the coolest feature where it makes it a lot easier to drive on the highway because of how smooth it is. I highly recommend this car to anyone who is looking for something small and cost effective. Overall, great car.

When I was in the process of purchasing a vehicle the Cx-3 was Mazda's new model out so there wasn't too much feedback from current owners of that model so I had to go by what Mazda's dealership told me. I had a few requirements including AWD, enough passenger space, as I was going to be using this car for work in real estate and need to be able to fit clients comfortably in my car to take out, and lastly decent gas mileage as well as affordable maintenance. At first I was just so happy to have a new car and was in a rush since I needed to purchase right away as my car had been totaled in an accident but I knew I wanted to go with Mazda or Nissan since our next car purchase was going to be an electric vehicle but Tesla has not yet come out with their more affordable model at the time. The car is very tight inside and I wasn't able to comfortably fit two people in my backseat without moving the front seats all the way up, which made my drive and the front passengers very uncomfortable. Also I had to have tires special ordered when there were nails and glass in the street ruining two brand new tires right after buying my car. I spent right about $600 on two tires and had to wait for them to be ordered because no one had the tires to fit this vehicle in stock at the time and there weren't options available when ordering I had to go with more expensive tires. Since both tires were ruined and I only had one donut and no spare at that time I ended up having to rent a car until the tires were delivered 5 days later. Even currently when looking for filters and other maintenance items for the CX-3 there's not many options compared to all the other Mazda models and find my air filters cost much more in comparison to the other filters available for the other models. Even cargo space is not as large as it appears and larger items are very difficult get into the car because the trunks small opening and door. My husband is happy driving the car, but he had a Honda Fit previously so he's used to a compact car. I can't consider this a "crossover suv" it's more the a compact hatchback with AWD. I would've went with another model if things would've been explained more honestly. But they made the car seem like consumers love it and it's roomy, with great gas mileage etc. I currently have to switch cars with a coworker every time I have to take clients out and if I wasn't lucky enough to have someone willing to do that we would've had to purchase another car for myself to be able to use for work.

The car drives smoothly and has a sporty look and feel. I have a blue exterior with a leather and synthetic combo interior with red threading which is pretty cool looking. The car runs well and has required usual routine maintenance. The front seat arm rest between the driver and passenger is quite week and mine cracked shortly after purchase. Also the location of the lever to adjust the backrest of the seats is hard to reach. Otherwise, I love this car.

I absolutely love my 2016 Mazda cx-3! The only downside is not being able to switch from four wheel drive to two wheel drive. Maintenance is cost effective and rarely needed (yet). The seats are super comfortable and despite being a fairly small vehicle it is surprisingly roomy on the inside. The stock stereo system is excellent, Bluetooth works great, and it is all easily navigated and user friendly. On top of everything, the cx-3 has better safety ratings than Volvo which is saying something. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the Mazda cx-3!

My Mazda was a perfect fit for the kind of driving I needed to do to get to school, to work, and just around town. I wanted to have the convenience of a 4-door vehicle, but the size that takes on tight city streets easily. It also featured great storage features, with the seats that collapse in the back to create a larger trunk space, which I have used on many occasions to move house, manage furniture, and other feats. It is an AWD vehicle and it gets much better mileage than other cars I have driven, so it is kind to my wallet when I do have to pump for gas. It has a Bluetooth capability that has helped me stay connected to music, calls, and has two USB ports that keep my devices charged. It is not without faults, however, since there is no center console for storage, and I have had to take it in for issues pertaining to the ac and other electronic features. Other than that, this car has been a dream and I love the way it feels to drive it.

Since I have bought my 2016 Mazda sport 3 sedan I have haven't had many issues. I did need to replace the clutch. My model is standard. It took about 2 years since I had to replace it. Other than that I have replaced nothing but the tires. It drives very smooth. I love my leather seats, heated seats at that. Also I have a sunroof and love to use it in the summer. It has a large trunk to fit anything I might need for my big family. I also have a lot of legroom even when I need to put in 2 booster seats. When I had my babies it was a bit uncomfortable because the car seats didn't give me as much room in the front.

Trim already fell off the outside of the car. And the back tailgate fill up with water from time to time. I have to go into the dealer to have it drained. Performance loves those tight turns. I have had no problems with the car. It is a little tight with the seating. Comfortable but could be a lot better. Love the heated seats in the winter. The skytrak is great. And also love the backup camera. I will never own a car without it. Do not like that I have to go inside of the car to unlock the back doors.

Smooth, comfortable ride. Quiet in the cabin. Great heating/ac system for front seat, allowing passenger and driver to individually control temps (no such extension to back seat). Radio easy to control from steering wheel but horribly hard to control from the center console. Heads -up display. Cruise control. GPS. Bluetooth. Only two USB ports, both in center console, none in back seat. Fold-down drink holder in back seat. Side mirror blind spot warning lights (love these!) And back up camera. Cannot pop hatchback from inside vehicle -- very inconvenient. Bigger/higher profile than a car, but still smaller than a true SUV. Mpg in the high 20's. Lately the computerized entertainment system has been freezing (unable to change stations or input source, etc.) -- can be re-booted, but irritating every time and it is been happening a lot.

This car drives really smooth. The design on the inside is appealing. The only thing that is a little odd, is the volume and control is down in the middle console near the cup holder, but it is definitely something you will get used to! The trunk is a nice size. The back seat is a little bit small, but it is a small car so it was what I was expecting. Overall I really like that car and I am glad I went with it. I've had it for 8 months now, with no problems at all.
