The 2015 Mazda CX-3 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mazda CX-3 2015 prices range from $10,780 for the basic trim level SUV Maxx Safety (FWD) to $20,900 for the top of the range SUV Akari (FWD).
There’s nothing that should be of concern to you, the Mazda diesel is quite reliable.

You need to decide on whether you want an SUV or a hatch before you do anything else. The SUV gives you a better view of the road, is practical, and the CX-3 is a good choice, but hatches can also be attractive. I would rule out the Mazda2 in your case, as it would seem to be too small for your needs, but the 3, Corolla and i30 are all good cars that would deliver on the things you want.

Cynics might say that carmakers using the shorter intervals are simply gouging customers; others might say it’s prudent to service your car more often to keep them ticking over in tip-top shape. Mazda recommends servicing its cars, including the CX-3 every 10,000 km or 12 month, whichever occurs first. I’m inclined to err on the conservative side and service more frequently.
