If you want a SUV but you also don't want a SUV then it's a good choice

[@mooauto2388]

x) true it's just a lifted madza 3 but driving these things is amazing

[@DestDroid]

Wow, that is a nice interior.

[@edwardvega9089]

brooo, u smashed the rear door! hahahah

[@maximus9401]

love how quick that transmission is. Better than some "sporty" planetary torque-converter automatics in more premium cars

[@alexlam24]

Even Matt Farah complimented it.

[@franka6790]

Mazda really knows how to make such a good car

[@CarsJavon]

Nice interior

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Love the direction that Mazda is going with its SUV line. This and the new CX-9 are exceptional value for money

[@AndresSalazarAutos]

That 60 to 0 seems very undramatic, no abs noice, no tire slippage, just perfect stopping, at least it looked like it!

[@tyramail]

I think the CX-3 would be way more fun to drive with the 2.5 L available on the 3, standard on the 6 and CX-5.

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

What a brilliant car. Especially for the price. I wish the cx3 had a turbo option but I heard the engine is a high compression engine so adding a turbo would be a challenge

[@NonAlcoholRider]

good sound:)

[@unknownmister22]

When you gonna make test of s8 or new q7??You are the best support for you from Serbia!!!

[@mrlracer7]

one question, by the end of the video are those suspension rattles or was it stuff bouncing around? thanks :)

[@MisakiLeasim]

Sounds like it's going super fast until you see how many MPH it's doing. I wouldn't mind it though, nice vehicle overall.

[@orange_turtle3412]

You could say the same thing about every muscle/sports car too.

[@superstarcandysucksassuttp2543]

Cool

[@roadsfortheworld3469]

Great video again guys :), I wish I could do reviews, but I just have two cars I can do videos with :D

[@ethantenorio6014]

I have the 2018 version but this looks exactly just like it lol

[@miguel3079]

Did you had the cx5 Mazda

[@2660MHz]

which one should I buy between FWD 120hp and 4WD 150hp?

[@coddoctor9374]

California played and snow?

[@pdztc]

velocimeter Caddilac?

[@K03sport]

Oh look, a soul red Mazda presscar...who would have guessed. I'm not a big guy and I find this car small on the inside and that's after driving a mk4 gti for 14 years...if it had more squirrels under the hood, it would be be better, but as it stands, it just doesn't bring enough to the segment (even w/AWD) for me to choose it let alone like it.

[@azteck98]

why no manual mazda?California plates with snow on the ground?

[@water892]

I'm pretty sure it's because it was imported to California from the factory. I could be wrong, but it's just a press vehicle, so it goes around the United States.

[@azteck98]

+Sam Mehta no Mazda said no manual for the american market

[@ststc7637]

engine?

[@Xt3rel]

Este es un suv para las personas que buscan un suv inicial

[@12345612378186]

reverse censor is better than the camera

[@markwilliams6378]

People always complain how Mazdas are loud and noisy. This CX3 doesn't seem that loud to me especially for the class

[@markwilliams6378]

Fastest in it's class though

[@JakeBlackHawk]

Is it MPH or KPH?

[@akitamancom]

around 3:26 mph!

[@mwells2683]

Add an aftermarket cold air intake to that and you are off!

[@canalforadoar4458]

alguem do brasil? kkkk

[@DMN3901]

Thumbnail= crash about to happen.

[@muhammadtaqiyyuddinfahmi630]

MOBILNYA ANAK GAUL WKWKWKWKWK -_-

[@DIMAN99RUS]

So loud engine sound....

[@hubertwalter1749]

+DIMAN99RUS I would not say that its loud, the microphone used for recording the vid was just very good. You can hear every detail.

[@maximus9401]

+Hubert Walter the mic was not very good. It got blown out just from the rev at the beginning at 3:46

[@chrissorreda4982]

+maximus9401 This is a Binaural microphone. Read about it then come back. Sigh.

[@jbm0866]

This thing looks cool, but so does the cheaper Mazda 3. If you consider the Mazda 3 also has more power, interior/cargo room (GT hatchback) the only 2 reasons anyone would choose this instead is because they either like the looks a bit better or need AWD. For me it's a no brainer, 3 all the way, don't see why Mazda even made such a thing when the not much larger CX5 is better all around, and the Mazda 3 as well.

[@takuan650]

Almost all of the review test cars have that disgusting white leather trim on show. Makes me wanna puke! Otherwise not a bad little car.

[@nitrogliserin]

such a nice car with pathetic performance

[@nitrogliserin]

+Matthew Cusanelli yeah I know. It's not built for performance but if the car doesn't have much power then what's that loud noise for? Mazda do this every time. You know it doesn't have to be that much loud.

[@nitrogliserin]

+Matthew Cusanelli Mics could be the real reason but last year I drove the new Mazda 3 1.5L petrol engine and exhaust was too loud compared to a car that only has 100hp! I believe Mazda does this on purpose.

[@markwilliams6378]

It has a 146hp engine , what kind of performance do you expect

[@2660MHz]

which one should I buy between FWD 120cv and 4WD 150cv?

[@ststc7637]

4wd 150
