2018 Mazda CX-3 Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Mirrors too far from the body of the car. There is no center console and very little storage. The radio system is funky and hard to work. The car itself is ugly car. There are no armrests. I am not a fan of hatchbacks anymore. The defrost is super slow. Takes a long time to heat and cool.

There is no space to place personal items for work ty we driver or passenger while driving. The space for “SUV” is very small and compact. I had more space in my Hyundai sedan. While I do like the bucket seats, on long drives when the bucket seats are up, there is still no room for stretch legs or have any leg room.

I bought Mazda CX-3 in 2017 and since then I had just a headache. The doors won't open. I took the car to dealership 6 times, and the rear passenger door still won't open from inside. The trunk door will not open when the car is running. The tires gets low every 6 months. The service dept is not capable of repairing their own vehicle problem. Now it is of warranty and I am considering taking my Mazda to Hyundai service dept. My Hyundai is 2013 and never gave me so many problems. If there is any it is fixed from the first time by Hyundai dealer. I will not recommend Mazda.

Would not recommend Mazda CX-3. I bought it in 2017 and had only headache with it. The doors won't open. Took it to dealer 6 times, and still rear passenger door will not open from inside and hatch back won't open when the car is running. I need to turn it off to open it. The tires get low regularly. The service dept is incapable to fix any of these problems. Now it is of warranty and I consider taking Mazda to Huynday service department. My Huynday is 2013, and never had so many problems. The service dept can fix problems from the first time. I would rather buy a Huynday next time than Mazda that has no quality in it and lousy service dept.

Sou um fan do símbolo "Mazda", assim passo a descrever:- Sendo proprietário de um veículo MAZDA, mod. 5, há cerca de 13 anos, sem que contudo tenha tido problemas de maior, no dia 16/08/2018, por ter uma paixão pelo símbolo “MAZDA” , resolvi adquirir, um novo veículo da mesma marca, modelo cx3, ambos adquiridos, na NIPAUTO Faro, qual não é o meu espanto aquando percorridos cerca de 8000 km, o veículo teve de recolher à oficina da Nipauto, por problemas na suspensão dianteira, sendo que aos 9144 km, deu novamente entrada na mesma oficina, por ter acendido a luz respetiva de aviso de manutenção, depois de uma semana imobilizado na garagem a aguardar lugar na oficina. Uma vez na presença dos técnicos, fui informado que o problema se devia ao óleo saturado, por efetuar, viagens curtas na cidade e seria imperioso proceder à substituição do respetivo óleo, o que foi feito, facto que não corresponde à realidade, pois mais de 80 %, dos Km percorridos foram em viagens longas, nomeadamente Algarve/Lisboa, Algarve/Porto e vice-versa. (I am a fan of the "Mazda" symbol, so I will describe: - Owning a MAZDA vehicle, mod. 5, about 13 years ago, without having had any major problems, on 08/16/2018, for having a passion for the “MAZDA” symbol, I decided to purchase a new vehicle of the same brand, model cx3, both acquired , at NIPAUTO Faro, which is not my amazement when traveling about 8000 km, the vehicle had to collect from the Nipauto workshop, due to problems with the front suspension, and at 9144 km, it entered the same workshop again, for having lit the respective maintenance warning light, after a week immobilized in the garage waiting for a place in the workshop. Once in the presence of the technicians, I was informed that the problem was due to saturated oil, due to making short trips in the city and it would be imperative to proceed with the replacement of the respective oil, which was done, a fact that does not correspond to reality, since more than 80% of the km traveled were on long journeys, namely Algarve / Lisbon, Algarve / Porto and vice versa.) No dia 01/08/2019, foi feita a manutenção correspondente ao ano de uso, quando este veículo havia apenas percorrido 12323 Km. (On 08/01/2019, maintenance was performed corresponding to the year of use, when this vehicle had only traveled 12323 km.) No dia 30/06/2020, dado ter necessidade efetuar uma viagem longa, em virtude do óleo do cárter se apresentar próximo do seu máximo “X”, contactei a oficina, que coloquei ocorrente do que pretendia fazer, fui aconselhado levar o veículo novamente à oficina, uma vez ali, aquando a quilometragem era apenas de 18600 km, os técnicos, informaram que iam proceder a exames técnicos diretamente com a mazda, pois algo de anormal se passava com o veículo, uma vez que o este apenas havia percorrido 6277 km, tal situação, não era normal, em virtude do óleo em situação normal deveria percorrer cerca de 20000 Km, após exames ou não, fui informado que o veículo não apresentava qualquer problema e teria ser substituído o óleo, facto que não me opus. Por tudo o que descrevi conclui-se, que aos 18600, já foram efetuadas 3 mudanças de óleo, o que é absurdo, tanto mais que os Km, percorridos foram feitos em viagens longas. (On 06/30/2020, given the need to make a long trip, due to the crankcase oil being close to its maximum “X”, I contacted the workshop, which stated what I wanted to do, I was advised to take the vehicle again to the workshop, once there, when the mileage was only 18600 km, the technicians informed that they were going to carry out technical examinations directly with the mazda, as something abnormal was happening with the vehicle, since it had only traveled 6277 km, such a situation was not normal, due to the oil in normal situation it should cover about 20000 km, after exams or not, I was informed that the vehicle had no problem and the oil would have to be replaced, a fact that I was not opposed to. From all that I have described, it can be concluded that at 18600, 3 oil changes have already been made, which is absurd, especially since the kilometers traveled were made on long journeys.) Assim e pelo exposto, penso que irei ter um futuro n***o com este veículo, no que diz respeito a despesas de manutenção, pelo que solicito a V. Exª. Um estudo aprofundado sobre esta situação, e, deste modo a respetiva resolução. Depois desta situação e percorridos cerca de 3000 km, km estes percorridos em viagens de longo percurso e longa duração, verifico que o óleo novamente tem subido de forma galopante, estando-se a aproximar da letra "X", facto que é completamente estranho. Refiro ainda que até ao momento ainda que após esta exposição que enviei à marca, não tive nenhuma resposta, na resolução deste assunto. Nota: adoro conduzir o veiculo. (So and for the foregoing, I think that I will have a future with this vehicle, with regard to maintenance expenses, so I ask you. An in-depth study of this situation, and thus the respective resolution. After this situation and about 3000 km, km traveled in long and long journeys, I notice that the oil has risen again in a galloping way, being approaching the letter "X", a fact that is completely strange. I would also like to mention that until now, even after this exhibition that I sent to the brand, I have had no answer in resolving this matter. Note: I love driving the vehicle.)

Hate counsel controllers, dislike radio display, too small, no arm rest, performs well, powers up easily, relatively fast, good gas mileage, but truly dislike features. The color is nice. I do not love the hatchback style. The seats look cheap. The interior is undesirable.

It is very small no room, the back seat is very small and can only comfortably fit 2 people and there is still no leg room without the front seats being all the way up. Also there's no middle console which is really weird design for a car or SUV like this

Performance of this car is a strong point. This is the most fun crossover to drive. It is actually speedy among subcompact crossovers. Handling is sharp and responsive, and it is easy to drive in the city. Power is modest it is quick for the class with 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds.
