2018 Mazda CX-3: Full Review | Grand Touring, Touring & Sport

[@LilJRider]

Your walkthrough and review is ridiculously helpful... you are an absolute natural at doing this! I totally subbed and will watch ur other vidz! Im kinda torn btwn the Cx3 and Cx5 lol

[@CarConfections]

Thanks so much, and welcome aboard! Both CX-3 and CX-5 are great choices!

[@baubaleena]

Don't be torn between the cx-3 and cx-5, go for the 3008.

We bought the 2018 CX-3 Sport AWD version about 2 months ago and it is great! Initially drove the Grand Touring model and were greatly put-off by all the extra gadgets put on that version. The sport model has everything we want without the very distracting extra cameras, head-up display, and cluttered, multi-colored interior of the up-graded model. Fun to drive, over 30 MPG and very comfortable front seats. For the two of us, the lack of rear interior space is irrelevant. Put the rear seats down and there is plenty of room for all our stuff when we travel. We live in wet and occasionally snowy western Oregon and it handles great and is relatively quiet at highway speeds. The 16" wheels on the Sport version give a bit better ride quality as well. Very happy with this rig. Besides, this car just looks good!

Do you think it's better than a Kia sportage?

[@brixtonwa]

Great review and I appreciate how you cover all trims.

[@renzoc]

I'm 5'11 and I remember how small and uncomfortable the seats were. The seats were too small. My father who's about the same height sat in the back and his the top of his head immediately hit the ceiling. If you're a short person this car would be ideal for you. It's a shame because I had my heart on purchasing this model.

[@jeffdeleon3567]

Have you tried adjusting the seats? I’m asking because I’m 6’3 and I was considering one of these as a daily driver

[@wernermunzberger7341]

i drive the cx 3 ...and it is a very nice and wonderful car !!! I love it ;-)))

[@txredkim867]

Sitting at the Mazda dealership now, buying a GT CX 3, Manual 6 speed, in White ...

[@jaysondasco4560]

Do you know when 2018 cx5 will be out ?

[@CarConfections]

+Jayson Dasco I don't know anything exact, but since most of the other Mazda's have rolled over to 2018's I imagine the CX-5 will also fairly soon. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelcrain4276]

For the warranty do you get both the 3 year and 36 thousand miles or do you have to choose? Or is it which ever comes first? Sorry I'm only 16 and just starting to drive so I'm just wondering.

[@CarConfections]

+Michael Crain For warranties you have to go with whichever comes first. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelcrain4276]

Car Confections okay, thanks. Amazing review btw. I love how in depth you go with all your reviews! Keep up the amazing work!

[@jesper7869]

great car, lovi it

[@ianchambers881]

Would you recommend thing for a first time buyer car

[@CarConfections]

+Ian Chambers I think the CX-3 would be great for most buyers, so long as you don't need a ton of cargo space or have a large family. Thanks for watching!

[@ianchambers881]

Car Confections ok thanks

[@ComblessMan]

Great video, wish you took a drive but it really was a great detailed view. I only ask that next time you wear long pants. Hairy knees don't sell cars. Thanks. The mrs. and I are going back and forth between the CX3 and the CX5 and now we have both changed our initial positions. I'll pass this on to her.

[@dtlordgrim6789]

2018 car but info and duide released in 2017?

[@Dshowtime718]

No remote start???

[@CarConfections]

Mazda doesn't offer it from the factory, but it can be added as an accessory. Thanks for watching!

[@princeyi17]

mazda is the best

[@timdumoulin8004]

I can't believe you don't get the 2.5 ,litre 184 hp engine like the Mazda 3. What a let down

[@Blueoptimus12]

Tim Dumoulin I can’t believe there isn’t a Turbo version. Everything else is great.

[@ynp1978]

No center arm rest?? No thank you!

[@hudasbarabasestas]

ynp1978 it comes optional and it is awesome!

[@39Hundred]

ynp1978 the armrest is a $2000 option. I got it and it’s worth it! 👍🏼

[@Montana270]

I don't have one but honestly the way the cockpit is designed I never am sad I don't have one

[@curtisperson8239]

What's a guy to do "without" a "armrest" ? daaaa...

[@Mixmastermez]

I was thinking the same things.. I'd have to sit in it, but that's a deal breaker right there.. I mean wtf?

[@pimpmafuqa]

6.2 inch ground clearance? nah. Stick with an outback or forester.

[@alonefire3380]

I wish they made another generation of mazdaspeed cars

[@herohour6496]

What the hell, u need to pay $300 more for GREY????? That's beyond stupid

[@colorsafebleach5381]

Hero Hour it’s a mica paint. It’s something you have to see in person to really appreciate it! I paid extra for the black mica, and it looks so much better than just plain black.

[@ashwinjogaratnam9417]

First view

[@RichardRSmith]

I don’t want to buy another Turbo engine because they fail and provide poor gas mileage. I am not interested in a 6 cylinder while 95 percent of Camry owners such as myself want 4 cylinder naturally aspirated for reliability and for gas mileage. As for these apps which could be run on a cell phone mirrored to a car’s head unit display way over by the passenger why would I want to use my cellular data usage limited resource each month for the cell phone when I don’t have to given that all cellular carriers have dead cells where then the app - whichever app you want to discuss Scout GPS Link, Apple iPhone CarPlay, Android Auto, Google Maps - all would QUIT WORKING lock-up freeze leave you unable to use the app for navigation. And no app on any cell phone can integrate with the head up display - just only on the head unit display way over by the passenger. Honda’s decision to make all their gas engines on Accords Turbo engines will cost the owners for years and years into the future and how do we know this because it works now on the 2017 Honda Civic 2.0 Turbo Model R providing only 28 mpg highway compared to up to 41 mpg on the Camry new 4 cylinder 2018 engine and because those existing owners have found it most unreliable already and don’t forget it will fail completely with a huge invoice in the future. Toyota’s decision to provide their embedded NAV which works so well finally now on the 2016 and 2017 Camry XLE 4 cylinder and Camry Hybrid just only on their 6 cylinder making-up only 5 percent of all Camry owners is equally a huge big mistake which I tried to let them fix. Toyota’s is a marketing restriction. Honda’s only non-Turbo engine on 2018 Accord is their 2018 Accord Hybrid which is a normally aspirated 4 cylinder but that will not come out until NEXT YEAR. Is Honda admitting by the fact that their 2018 Accord Hybrid will not be Turbo that you will get better gas mileage WITHOUT a Turbo ? Yes. Is Honda admitting by making the 2018 Accord Hybrid non-Turbo that Turbo engines fail ? Sure they are they have all the repair bills for the Model R now Civic from 2017 with the same 2.0 Turbo 4 cylinder engine. These are the only 2 midsized cars with the telematics they both have on them for 2018 at any price. You need to read this statement by me. If you reply I will reply to you.

[@wil3zra229]

Why are you talking about Toyota and Honda in a Mazda video..?
