2019 Mazda CX-3 consumer reviews

I traded my 07’ Mx5 for a 2019 cx3 GT AWD crystal blue w parchment leather. I love the cruise control you can set it and it basically drives itself. It will slow and speed up, it also stops for you if you’re at a stop and you don’t use the (auto hold) or forget to, if you start to go and there’s a car in front of you it will stop the car for you. It’s saved me from having an accident several times. It reminds me of my Mx5 of course that’s not a fair comparison, but it’s fun like my Mx5 just as fun in a different way. I like the size and all of the options. But the main reason why I choose the Cx3 is because I love the way it looks. Most smaller SUV’s are ugly. But the Cx3 is different. That’s probably why the Cx3 is still in production in some parts of the world. Yes there’s a 2024 Cx3 and it hasn’t changed much in almost 10 years. Too bad it’s not still produced in the US. My best advice for anyone looking to buy a Cx3 is to test drive a few different trim levels. (Sport, Touring and Grand Touring) personally I can’t always see at night, so I decided that I needed the LED headlights and I wanted the Bose sound system. But after owning it for 5 years and 40k miles I think Bose car stereos are overrated. It shouldn’t be a dealbreaker the regular sound system is just as good. But really think about the features that are important to you, and don’t settle. For example If you want Car play or android auto, then tell the dealer that you want car play installed or your not going to buy from them and I’m going to bet that they’ll get it installed for you. Just keep in mind that the Sport model and the GT model are priced differently for a reason. Personally I have mixed feelings about the AWD system, it’s amazing how it works but I don’t think it’s necessary for the majority of people. Thanks for reading. I hope you find the car that works best for you.

So far, the car is excellent! It’s small, which is what I wanted, good on gas, and oh so pretty!! It’s the perfect car for someone that has older kids! I love it

It’s been wonderful to have a far and it’s running great and alignment is great. The only negative thing I can say is it smells like a heavy smoker had it and wasn’t aired out properly. But at least that’s the only draw back. I’ll take it!!

Love the all wheel drive . Excellent in gas , I really would like to know what the performance is in the snow . I won’t dare go throw flooded streets because I think the car is too low . Could use a couple of inches above ground

So far I love it! Beautiful exterior and interior, it's supposed to be small but it does feel small to me, it's exactly what I need and it drives really smoothly I also like that it has a nice kick to it so when I need it to react fast it reacts quickly. Super comfy too!

I do appreciate what this car offers: safety, good gas economy, heated seats, fold down seats, plenty of charger ports (3+), good sound system, comfortable bucket seats, and blind spot warnings, automatic transmission (NOT CVT) What I wish this car had: would have loved a sunroof, the leg room if you have long legs is TERRIBLE, trunk space given its a crossover is not great, doesnt have lane assist or anything "fancy" like that. I struggle with blind spot visibility sometimes for when i want to turn and look. I got lucky and got a 2019 with 6k miles on it for a great price, always ask dealers for loaner cars for sale! Overall, this is a good car for getting from A to B; you're just going to have to shell out for the features more so than you would on a competing car (HRV, for example).I ultimately went with this car due to the price point, safety, warranty, and reliability rating. Mazda is now above Honda. I refuse to drive a CVT after my Nissan repeatedly died.

As a reformed smoker, they did not clear the cigarette scent as good as I would have liked it....otherwise, is really very clean Good car and good value

I love this small car. It's nimble and responsive; manoeuvrable; easy to park; good safety features. This car is being phased out. I had to lease the 2019, as the dealership wasn't sure they would receive any grand touring CX-3's in a 2020 model. The primary use was in-city driving, not commuting, see below.

This is my second CX3. It just fits me perfectly. They improved the center console from my previous one, otherwise not much difference. I love driving this car and just looking at it makes me smile. Although the horsepower doesn't seem like a lot, the torque ratio makes all the difference, it has plenty of "git up and go". I went down from a Grand Touring to a Touring this time and thought only thing I would miss was the heads up display (which is phenomenal) but what I realize now is that I miss the Self Locking feature. If I walked away with the key, the car locked itself. Genius. Still have heated seats and mirrors, Blind spot warning. It's front wheel drive, but no "torque steer". Basically I love this car.

So far so good. For being a smaller car (it is smaller than my sedan), it is very spacious and doesn’t feel small. The was of driving it and I am short in height. I can see fine. I feel safe especially on our icy roads
