Off-Road: 2016 Mazda CX-3 AWD on Everyman Driver

[@Kilkee4sheezy]

Mazda, if you're reading this, I bought a cx3 because of this video.

[@MartinoVoltolini]

Did you alredy get it? What model? How's it goin? I'm totally in love with this car and might buy one in a month

[@Kilkee4sheezy]

Yep. Got a CX3 touring AWD in Feb this year. If you can live with the small trunk and don't often have 4 adults to transport, it will be a great fit.

[@merterdeger7367]

I love love how the cx3 looks but I feel like Mazda 3 hatchback will be the better option for me

[@darionross4286]

Mert Erdeger but your missing out on some stuff you could do with the AWD gets 28 mpg city and 32 mpg highway

[@c.i.a.4618]

Zoom-zoom!

[@Obercincy]

I think the attraction of your off-road videos is that it shows just how truely capable these "soft-road" SUV's are. Most owners will NEVER take their cars to a place like this but you demostrate that the "everyman driver" can take a SUV like this off road and have fun and their vehicle won't let them down.

[@everymandriver]

+Eric Oberhaus I totally agree - Dave, Everyman Driver

[@ThoriumHeavyIndustries]

+Eric Oberhaus You wont believe how the roads in east germany looks like :D

[@kokoyap]

ha ha, I was watching this and thinking - he should try it on really "soft roads", because these doesn't look so bad

[@Shahzam.1]

I had Mazda 3 2015.....when I drove this car I changed my mind I got this 2016 gt model it's really fun to drive and you have no problem in snow I love it.

[@samueljacob45]

I must say, I work at a car dealership, and I generally LOVE all your videos! I even send them to my customers to give them an overview of any vehicle that they are looking at! Keep up the good work man!!

[@SystemRichie]

I like how you actually read your comments and take it into consideration. Great job man

[@pedrof830]

This is really not meant for off road use, it's mainly to help in snowy conditions

[@jonsch8275]

Nice video Dave! Haven't driven a CX-3 yet, but we have two CX-5's and love them.

[@mikflores]

The AWD system is more predictive in the CX-3. It also starts in AWD all the time, then lets off as the computer decides from the various sensor inputs.

[@robvas]

Watching just to see if this one gets stuck in the mud!

[@johnnytampocao7671]

I love the way you do maximizing what this car is capable to do although this is not designed for this purpose. If this car can how much more of the bigger brother the CX5. Mazda really doing a very good job.

[@hyena-chase2176]

the suzuki vitara , is the best in this class of car imo plus you get 7.3 inch ground clear....great vid thanks

[@TheHelghast1138]

Your video sold me, I was debating whether not to get a Honda, but I really love this vehicle, thank you for this upload! :)

[@WayywayyH]

I test drove this car, i really like it and it drives nice. The back seats are cramped though. No leg room and have to duck to get in/out.

[@jasonpreslar6251]

Good video. Love the real life snow and hilly terrain testing.

[@hxcmusiclife]

It goes against the Jeep Renegade, not Cherokee

[@pedrof830]

+Modern Music Life Absolutely

[@bloodandwinearered]

I simply do not need more storage space than that. With the seats folded down I find it more than satisfactory for me. Does not this car come with Bose speakers? I plan on moving to a rural location. The short road to my home will be a dirt road. I find this car would be perfect for my needs.

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Im amazed that you would take this vehicle off-road because the CX-3 is clearly NOT designed for that. It performs OK but I can see users putting on their safari hats and doing the "Land Rover" imitations! Brave boy

[@everymandriver]

+Mr. Mazda It was just for fun and now people know it's much more capable than advertised :-) - Dave, Everyman Driver

[@theadventuremiata9533]

I'd love to own one of these someday. Other than passenger room shortcomings, it seems like a really complete vehicle that looks great.

[@quintonmenchan663]

Thanks for doing Mazda. I love Mazda! Keep it up!

[@brianerickson6495]

Do Subaru crostrek plz thinking of looking into it

[@daxterreid]

Always look forward to your off road videos.... Literally got so excited when I read the title.... Thanks for the videos Dave, keep it up!

[@panaoutsios1990]

It's the same height as demio but awd and little bigger But those demio, axela and cx3 are beautiful

[@samronalexander9191]

CX 3 is a beautifully designed SUV. However, if occupant safe is a concern, please check out the CX 3 (side) crash test.

[@Tcflohr]

I'm only here for the top gun references

[@mextijuas5]

really good videos especially the offroad. I'm a jeeper, so I might take my future crossover to my local camps or some mild offroad (not play, just getting there). what I don't like about this car is that they should of added the E parking brake, that would save space in this small car. the bigger cx5 has it and also the rear leg room sucks. I'm 6'1 and I just didn't fit. what I like it's price and those different color on the inside.

[@jennywithay8344]

Watching this now as I scope the used car market and I might just buy this car because of this video 😊

[@aaa20106]

I love your sweater where did you buy this from

[@vinayrajdev]

That was a very good review! Thanks for doing this Dave and keep up the good work!

[@scopriorosa]

I saw this suv on the road and am obsessed. Live your video you covered everything. Thank you. Except I'd like to see this tow something. I want to be able to tow two quads.

[@BTC909]

Hey Toyota look at what the little Mazda can do!

[@723lion]

Toyota will get you kill if u take a Toyota off road... good luck with that 70 years old 4x technology from Toyota.

[@Matter-of-Fax]

I love this car for my fiancé, but can I ask where the Jeep Grand Cherokee off road video is?

[@jeronskiyeg]

Nice off-road video Dave

[@SeanBrennan007]

Hi Dave, Could you see about doing a review on the new 2016 Toyota Rav4. Curious to see how the Hybrid AWD-i system works as compared to the non Hybrid AWD system. Thanks!

[@redapplepie100]

Enjoyed your vid. Will be getting one of these babies in a few months.

[@marlonmullon]

I hope you do a snow test with Mazda 3 2016 hatchback specially manual.

[@mikeh7434]

Hi all!! How does the CX3 compare to the Suburu impreza/cross trek moving off the line? I had the 2012 Impreza and loved everything else about the car except for the performance. Thanks!!

[@hemipwr321]

Hey Dave, have you done a Off-Road & Review for a Subaru Crosstrek?

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

Dude, I love your videos. It truly shows just how capable these crossovers are. This Mazda is one of my favorites. In your personal opinion, which crossover would you choose that are in this class. Also can you test an element awd through this?

[@wa8820]

Love these videos!

[@R777-RLM]

I used to be a Mazda fan, and have owned one, but now except for the Miata they offer two engines for the whole lineup, and killing the V6 and adding a turbo to the 2.5 liter for the CX 9, and do SUV's really need 18" wheels? This is a trend I hope will go away, because it brings expensive tires that aren't as good in the snow, more road noise, and harder hits to the suspension with the harder sidewall low profile tires. Also are the engine RPM's in this type of vehicle so crucial, that it requires a large center mounted rpm gauge?

[@letsgonow5641]

+ron mortensen I agree on the tire part..When my sister bought a Mazda 3 years ago she waned the bigger tires.. i suggested she go with the smaller tired but was in love with the larger rims..it does have one benefit..better handling..but the cons generally outweigh it imho..but its what the public wants..we just bought the Cx5 tourin w the 16"...no the rpm isnt crucial these engines loved to be revved as he points out..its just a design..some cars have been doing something similar.retro thing..Also the V6 was a Ford design engine that while a decent engine didnt give great gas...with all the regulations EPA/Cafe its about MPG these days..oh an the Miata in the Us offers only one engine..this same engine in the cx3, which is the base engine for the mazda 3 and cx5, it has less HP in the miata/cx3 since they had to use a smaller header/exhaust..oh and the other models come with the smaller tires..

[@R777-RLM]

+Luis Coqui I didn't catch that about the Miata being the base 2.0L, but you pointed out my disappointment in today''s cars, everything is dictated by the far to powerful EPA. You have to buy a truck, larger SUV, minivan or sports car for a standard 6 or 8 cylinder. My Jetta 1.8L Turbo 4 cylinder's best mileage is 26 MPG, and has been the most unreliable car I've owned. Modern cars are heavy, and now we have small engines to handle the load, I'd take a long lasting V6 over a hard working 4 cylinder, especially a turbo charged engine, because that small MPG increase, won't pay for a new engine.

[@letsgonow5641]

+ron mortensen Yes the Miata engine is the base engine in the 3 and Cx5. ( slightly modified to fit in the miata) The miata is a niche car that sells in low #s. They arent going to develop a separate power plant for it. The research for new modern engines costs $$$. Its always been this way. Yes its not the manuf its the government. They want more efficient better gas mileage lower emissions. The one way to meet that was to turbo charge a 4 cylinder. Mazda is actually the one manuf that resisted this in the US. They went with the Skyactive high compression instead. The reason they turbo charged the CX9 is that they currently do not have a V6 in their portfolio. Especially one that meets these new standards. The old Cx9 V6 was a gas guzzler.( by todays standards). Plus for the most part Mazda has ended its ties with Ford. Again it cost a ton of money to develop. The Cx9 sells in low #s they would break even if they had to develop a new powerplant for it. However, i wouldnt be surprised if they came out with a V6 in the near future. I knew a few years ago they were going to go that route with the Cx9. The engine is capable of more power but had to tuned to meet these new regulations.

[@R777-RLM]

+Luis Coqui Luis, you seem very knowledgeable about Mazda's, I admire that. I've studied cars for 35 years, and it's sad to see car and truck makers doing a lot of the same things they did in the 80's, because of the so called oil crisis then. Today it's climate change, but the results are the same. It was great to watch vehicles go from under powered, unreliable junk, to cars with plenty of power, and a significant increase in reliability and longevity. Now they seem to be drifting back again. By the way, I had a 1989 Mercury Tracer, base on the Mazda 323. It was one of the best cars I've owned, It cost 9,300 dollars brand new, with a 1.6L 4 cylinder engine, and beautiful soft two tone velour seats. I prefer cloth, but today's cloth seats, even in higher priced cars, look to me like the seats in an entry level car 15 yrs ago.

Dave is it true Mazda is recalling the 2015-2016 Cx-5s and 2016 Civic?

[@letsgonow5641]

+Kylo Ren Yes its for a minor problem that can be fixed in 30 minutes..its more of just in case...the Civic is by Honda..the civics ( first batch) have all been recalled they didnt tighten something in one of the pistons and the engines are shutting off.

Hey Dave, which vehicle would you recommend for a family with 3 small children?

[@everymandriver]

+Angie Gault no, go bigger.

[@Caliyope]

+Everyman Driver yeah, this is SUPER small for us!! Which SUV would you recommend with a 30k budget?

[@mykullee]

+Angie Gault Definitely Mazda CX-5. Great driving dynamics, with excellent efficiency, stunning styling both inside and out (KODO design). The 2.5L SKYACTIV-G with 184hp, 185 lb.-ft. of torque, will treat you very well.

[@buildmorefarms1007]

+Angie Gault Mitsubisho Outlander 7 passenger, large enough for a family, safe, reliable and just made 100 improvments for the 2016 model year. It is usally heavily discounted also and has the longest warranty of any Jap brand. Also can be had for well under 30k.

[@mykullee]

buildmorefarms100​ Might as well add that Mazda has "Unlimited Milage" Warranty in Canada. Bumper to Bumper, Powertrain, Corrosion Protection, etc... all Unlimited Mileage.

Cx-3 is superior to the Honda Hr-V.

[@ststc7637]

[@djw1091994]

Not in terms of utility but in other ways it is superior.

[@massimolettuce]

@@djw1091994 design of the HRV is debatable

[@djw1091994]

@@massimolettuce can't say I like it more than the cx-3 but the interior is larger and better/more storage spaces. I've considered getting one in the past but I can't stand the CVT and low power engine. I need something that I don't always have to floor the gas pedal on to get stuff done, as fun as it is to drive fast in a slow car and push it hard it isn't very relaxing.

[@massimolettuce]

It turned the AWD system OFF, permanently after trying to gently rock the car out of snow ... Had to go back to the dealer to get it turned on ...... WTF ??? NO RESET BUTTON ? It did slightly better with 4 Hankook Winter i-pike snow tires on it ..... But nothing compared to her previous Suzuki SX4 with Full Lock up available...!!!
