Mazda CX-3 2016

FROM
$11,660

The 2016 Mazda CX-3 range of configurations is currently priced from $7,984.

Our most recent review of the 2016 Mazda CX-3 resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: The Mazda CX-3 is a fine example of what can be done in the mini-SUV segment while also offering a stylish alternative to a "normal" hatchback. The trade-off of less than stellar interior space is more than made up for by good equipment levels, fine looks and a capable road warrior whether in urban or country areas.

Mazda CX-3 2016 FAQs

Wind causing too much noise in 2016 Mazda CX-3

I am not aware of a wind noise problem related to the fitting of weather shields. Were they Mazda weather shields, or were they aftermarket items? If your Mazda dealer supplied them, go back and tell them of your concern and ask them to fix it.

How does Suzuki Vitara compare to rivals?

The new Suzuki is pretty good, apart from the constantly variable transmission, and gets The Tick. But you should also test drive the Mazda CX-3, which tops the class, or the Honda HR-V if you need more space in the back.

What's a good SUV that's easy to get into?

The CX-3 is the best in the baby class and gets The Tick. It’s not great for value and could be a bit small. You should also check the latest Subaru Forester, which is much improved.
