I owned one, the 6 to be precise and I wouldn't suggest anyone to buy it. Yes, a Mazda drives good, far better than the competitors in the same segment, interior fit and finish is top notch but ownership experience is absolutely terrible. It is so unreliable, tends to break down every single month and parts are way too expensive compared to any other Japanese brands. You can buy it though but make sure to sell in when the warranty period is almost done. When people say Japanese brands are reliable, just give them any Mazda and they'll will have nightmares when owning one.
CX3 Is the best looking Mazda in this sky active generation, period. It looked great 10 years ago, and it still looks great today. And it’s so fun to drive, the 1.5 engine is so rev happy and it’s quick enough. Build quality is also excellent, much better than (cheaper)Hondas in recent years. The only downside is the rear cabin space, which is the result of long engine bay design from Sky active engine. All Mazda models have this downside, but particularly the small ones suffer more (the 2, CX3, 3, CX30) compared to their class competitors.
Struggling between “2024 facelifted honda hatchback hybrid with this cx 1.5 plus. Test drive both, to be honest city hatchback more quiet and current feel. Can please suggest if im going to drive the car at least 10 years?
If you are intending to ferry passengers and cargo, the HRV is still the best choice with its bigger cabin and boot space. CX-3 is more of a lifestyle car for single or young couples. Much less starting family.
Reckon there's also hardware constraint to this. And AFAIK Mazda doesn't offer a software update that upgrades MZD Connect (old) to Mazda Connect (new).
This guy deserves more views and subs
He's a legend at his trade. I'm watching him from South Africa
Very much appreciated!
@@IAmCruz100 Too kind! 🥲
I have never owned a Mazda so maybe this will be my first, after watching this video of course. Good review😁

Are you sure about AC vents for the rear? In Australia, rear vents were added a few years ago underneath the front seats.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Salute very good english👍
That plastic cladding around the car is a deal breaker for me. I was contemplating between this and CX5.
What if: cladding is totally non-beneficial....other than allowing automakers save on paint 🤔
Best eng host imho
You look so enjoy driving the car. May i know the power of this 1.5l compared to other 1.5l? Like myvi, vios or city. How is it feel and its power?

I like the jacked up ride height
Honda WRV or this?
For the value, we'd go with the Honda. We'd say it feels slightly more spacious inside too.
Elegant and premium look cx3, value wrv.
Most definitely cx3
CX3!

Between those 2 options, we'd go for the Honda 😁
This or HRV S spec?
If you are intending to ferry passengers and cargo, the HRV is still the best choice with its bigger cabin and boot space. CX-3 is more of a lifestyle car for single or young couples. Much less starting family.
Can the infotainment system receive an software system update to look like the newer Mazda infotainment system or is it not designed for that?
Reckon there's also hardware constraint to this. And AFAIK Mazda doesn't offer a software update that upgrades MZD Connect (old) to Mazda Connect (new).
I need this but in a whole new version. Not a 10 yr model
Totally agree!
