Mazda CX-3 2.0L SKYACTIV GTX AWD

Under AED 80K, the Mazda CX-3 could be a compelling option as the SUV crossovers have appealing looks and slight premiums. This includes the luxurious and comfortable interior with a sleek, modern design and seating for five. Then the CX3 gets features like a remote keyless illuminated entry system and automatic climate control with a pollen filter. Then selection of leather seating, a sunroof, and a Bose sound system for an enhanced experience. The CX-3 is equally appealing from exterior too, for example short overhangs, a roof-mounted shark-fin antenna, black side body garnish, and dual exhaust outlets.

What prompted me to give a serious consideration to the CX3 is the number of safety features that are on offer. I know several of its competitors also offer but I think Mazda is way ahead, in terms of its features. Like the entire i-Activsense suit gives you confidence and high comfort and protection with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, etc. There are several customers like me who now want a more safe car, and so it becomes a key selling point for me at least before I make a purchase decision.

When I first came across this model, I could easily point out certain alterations that its recent or most upgraded version has witnessed. Few very noteworthy such changes are like there are certain visual tweaks in terms of its fog lights, taillights, grille and bumper. Now comes the turn to define its interior section. The moment I got into it I was introduced to a space that has seen revision in terms of its luxury. The exterior may seem to be pretty compact yet the interior section offers enough of space to ensure the passengers are not deprived of enough of head or leg rooms.

Mazda CX-3 exhibits the penchant of the brand for exciting driving dynamics, sleek styling, and upscale interior design. I’m especially amazed with its ride quality and handling. It floats like a cloud on the city streets and I don’t feel any kind of discomfort over bumpy roads. Its responsive steering makes it effortless to find its way through fast, flowing turns. Body control is quite good, and everything from high-speed highway dips to speed bumps is dispatched beautifully. Another great thing about this vehicle is that broken pavement doesn't take a toll on its ride quality.

As far as my knowledge goes this is the smallest edition from Mazda when it comes to subcompact SUVs. The car has lot of aspects to intrigue potential car lovers. Say the cabin quality is actually plush. The driving demeanor will always leave a lasting impression in driver’s mind as it is so much fun filled. The exterior styling is equally captivating and cheeky one. Must say this can be easily considered to be one of the noteworthy options when it comes to small crossovers. The moment you drive this on twisty roads its eager chassis will wonderfully cooperate with you to simplify the driving experience.

I'm impressed with the handling of the Mazda CX-3. I have ridden even the most luxurious cars, but no other car handles better than Mazda in its class. Even though the car is small, it fits all the members of my family well. I'm 6' 2", my wife if 5' 3", and my daughter is 3.5 years old, and this car provides comfortable space for everyone. The acceleration doesn't take my breath away, but it is enough for daily commutes. It also looks good and is very responsive. The only area where it needs improvement is the suspension tuning, which is a bit stiff.

This car has put me on the advantageous side of owning a four-wheeler. This was my first ever purchase of a four-wheeler and I was not sure of my wit in choosing the right vehicle that curtails the hindrances on the road conditions of the middle east region, my residential areas. But this car just did not fail me. With a 48-liter fuel tank and a very good mileage of 6-l for every 100 kilometers, it has allowed me to tag it as a very fuel-efficient vehicle. Moreover, the functionality and drivability of this car are also to the point.

Simple, Sophisticated yet Elegant Design inside out. Best Compact SUV ever built. The Kudo design is exceptional and Unparalleled. Japan

I have been driving the Mazda CX-3 for over nine months now. The day I purchased it I knew that there was something different about this car. Not only does it have beautiful looks but also boasts a subtle and well-designed cabin space that favours the driver as well as the passengers. The 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine comes mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and delivers enough power and torque for the daily commute. There is ample legroom and headspace inside the cabin and the boot is pretty big as well. To sum it up, the CX-3 is the best compact SUV ever built.
