Mazda CX-3 (2015 - 2020) 2.0 SE-L Nav 5d Auto Owner Review

The good: Really enjoyable to drive, feels safe at all times, great driving position. Has good brakes and visibility. Reasonable economy and automatic gearbox is excellent, it’s a proper six-speed auto. Has most of the toys - folding door mirrors, auto lights and wipers plus safety stuff like auto braking and lane departure warning. The not so good: Driver’s seat can sometimes become uncomfortable on longer journeys, may have improved on the later versions. If you mainly do shorter journeys, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Updating the Sat-Nav Maps is a bit of a palaver and DAB radio tends to lose signal a little. You also have to physically lock the car as you drive off as there is no option for drive away locking. I’ll miss it when it goes later this year - it’s a lease car, so have no option to keep it. For the first time ever, it is a car that I would have considered keeping.
