You think cars are cheap specially the new one? Your wayy too privilege. Poor people - Wish I can afford a bike. Middle class - Wish I can buy a new car. You - Wish I can buy a sports car. Rich people - Wish i can buy a plane. What a funny world we living xD HAHAHHAAH
Since Mazda and Ford parted company, they leaped ahead to the next level. They are quietly knocking spots off most competition, in terms of quality build, performance and sheer gorgeous good looks. I own a CX3 and it ticks all my boxes. These days with boxer engines and scary cvt auto boxes, Mazda retains sensible auto transmissions and naturally aspirated engines with next level Sky active technology which is next level.. And fuel consumption for this badass 2lt motor is great👍👍
Love it! Such a premium compact SUV. I could watch you review Mazdas all day long. Love my Mazda3 and Mazda vehicles in general. Great review as always, Joe
Just bought a cx3 gs. Lots to learn this was a very positive review thank you. I would like a video on how all the accessories w 20:43. The instruction book is huge I bought it used but only has 44000 klm
Thank you Raiti! My stepmom has one of these, it's very sporty and drives well. Really like the toggle wheel for changing the infotainment everything is at reach in the driver side. She loves her CX-3. Thanks for the camara work McNeil!
Semi Zonk for not mentioning the name of the color - Deep Crystal Blue Mica. There is a lighter blue available too - Eternal Blue Mica, which is really a nice color. Most dealers are deeply discounting remaining CX-3 models now that the CX-30 has hit the showrooms. The Kia Soul and Honda HR-V may be the most practical in this segment but the Mazda definitely has the sportiest (is that a word?) appearance.
Very nice cx3 I've been wanting to see this 1 for some time. 8.1 seconds is understandable in a car like this. Nice styling obviously handcrafted. Thanks Joe.
Hey Joe, are you ever going to do a documentary about being part of a group of identical octuplets? That's the only way I can explain how you seem to put out 19 posts a day! ;-)
The best designed compact small SUV in my opinion the interior is also beautiful well built with excellent materials used. Hopefully Mazda will use the Mazda 3 platform to give a longer wheel base and a bit spacious back seat but I don't want them to change the exterior look I like the floating roof treatment. The new up coming Mazda CX-30 is also good but I would prefer this design. Gorgeous car.💕 🏎
After test driving both 2019 mazda3 Awd and Cx-3 Awd , which in your opinion had better snap off the line acceleration without using sport mode . I personally felt the Mazda3 didn’t have as much torque although it has the 2.5 .
I think that the mazdas should copy the Mazda 3 hatchback. Such as get rid of most of the chrome and change to black. Black/dark grey rims standard. Black large grill. Just looks better in my opinion
I agree with you and I'm very sure Mazda will adopt that design language on most of their up coming smaller models specially the interior including the CX-5. I would love the see the next CX-5 in black out exterior treatment like the Mazda 3 in Polymetal Grey or related new colors like I've seen on a new Mini Countryman.
Sorry, Joe. Like most Mazdas the CX-3 offers attractive styling. But I simply don't understand the appeal of these mainstream "hatchbacks on stilts," especially when they offer so little actual UTILITY. With a maximum of 44.3 cubic feet, the CX-3 has less overall cargo space than a VW Golf (53.7 cubic ft). Want to use the cargo space behind the second row? The CX-3 provides a maximum of 12.4 cubic feet of cargo space versus the Golf's 17.4 cubic feet. Looking for the best gas mileage? The Golf is rated at 29-37 vs the Mazda's 29-34.
It is a commuter car...cargo utility isn’t the priority for “commuter” cars. If you need more utility then get an SUV or minivan. I get it some in its class will have more space but most people overbuy (getting more than what they actually need)! People who own these types of cars don’t drive everyday with loaded cargo...
@@ztekz It's not a case of "driv(ing) everday loaded with cargo." It's a question of versatility. There are hatchbacks with better driving dynamics and hatchbacks with more room. What you get in the CX-3 is a vehicle that claims to be a sport UTILITY vehicle but doesn't live up to the label.
Stephen Hendricks, depends on how you look at it. Like I said it’s simply a commuter car...yes maybe Mazda advertised it as a sub compact SUV when it’s really just a subcompact car with AWD. At end of the day, people can knock the car down but people still buy them. If you look at all the other competitors in its class the CX3 isn’t that far anyways (in terms of space, engine, capability, etc). Does it have the largest cargo capacity? No. Roomiest? No. It has its strengths but also weaknesses...the same could be said about the other competitors in its class. Just depends on your priorities and preferences.
@@ztekz I think we're saying much the same thing. As I said, the CX-3 is a "hatchback on stilts." Not the best hatchback and certainly not the best SUV in its class.The difference in our point of view is you put a positive spin on the CX-3 while I don't think it measures up.
Luv the little cute blue metallic Japanese jelly bean! If I had my choice I'd prefer the option of a manual or paddle shifters. Kinda competes with the Toyota Corolla hatchback & the Mini Coop in my opinion. Mazda is heads & shoulders above their competition when it comes to both interior & exterior design!! Excellent job Mazda!!
I wonder if the Mazda cx-3 sport will be a high maintenance just like Mini Cooper S. I owned Mini Cooper S and NO wonder why BMW is so expensive! BreakMyWallet
do you think a cx3 remap ( 170 hp ) with air intake, exhausts, low spring from cork sport and tyre of 225/40/18 instead of 215/50/18 OEM can feel like a little sport car ( miata spirit ) ?
@@dillonsrt yeah but you might want to consider the price. I think this one is cheaper than Mazda 3. And the looks isn't that bad doesn't it? It's pretty decent. Don't get me wrong, i know what you meant.
Raiti's Rides haha yes sorry car angles. They're just to round. Cars look stealthy now. This car looks like the turtle shells from mario kart on n64 that spin around the kart. Volvo understands .Hyundai and Toyota go the memo.
I like when people reviewing cheaper cars. I mean most of us only can buy these kind of cars instead of those fancy sports car.

I literally only watch your reviews on cars. so to the point and DETAILED. Gives you an almost virtual feel of the actual car.

This petite CUV looks a lot better than the Ford EcoSport/Honda HRV/Kia Soul/Hyundai Kona.
Pat Labuca I totally agree with you!
Definitely getting one of these
The Kona is especially ugly.
you just helped me make my choice,thank you make sure that dealer keeps you dude!
Love it! Such a premium compact SUV. I could watch you review Mazdas all day long. Love my Mazda3 and Mazda vehicles in general. Great review as always, Joe
Thanks you for letting me share them with you and for your great compliments!
Same as me I love Mazda car of this generation and I'm wanting to have one in the near future, my first Mazda was in the late 80's the 323.
Just bought a cx3 gs. Lots to learn this was a very positive review thank you.
I would like a video on how all the accessories w 20:43. The instruction book is huge I bought it used but only has 44000 klm
How do you like your cx3? I'm thinking of getting one as well
It’s nice looking but a little small for me. I’d go for the CX5 if I was buying a Mazda.
Nice review Joe! 100,000 subs are coming soon!👍🏻👍🏻🥇🇺🇸
L S I think you hit the nail on the head!
L S thanks for sharing the excitement with me!

Henry Montenegro I really appreciate that!
Gonna have to go check out Ed Morse and test a few Mazda's out. Great video once again dude.
Thanks man! I appreciate your support!
I’m saving up for this car now
# first car
@@Jmulla3x that's what I did. I love it
Just bought a 2018 certified pre-owned Cx-3 Grand touring with premium package only 14,000 miles on it I love it

Jay Patel don’t let the 0-60 fool you. It’s very fun to drive sounds great and feels faster.
I am so glad that I. could share this one with you!

M McBride you just cracked me up! I really appreciate you saying that! Documentary is coming soon!😉👍🏻
Great video. Do you still have a Focus RS? I love that color blue.

The Mazda 3 is a little heaver. I like the proportions of the Mazda 3 way better.

I guarantee whenever they redesign this thing that's what it's going to be
ImmortalCayenne that’s the direction they are moving with all of their models.

Anyone try putting a six foot kayak in with all the seats down? If not how easy is a roof rack install?

Dylan here from West Palm Beach. Do you review older vehicles? I own a 2009 Mazda 3. I haven’t seen any TH-camrs do a decent review.
Hi Dylan! I try to cover them all! If you are every in Clearwater I got you covered!
I want one of those little guys. Its just me, so interior room is fine.
Mitsubishi has a good deal on their Outlander last year they where selling them for $18,000.00 ..
Outlander is kinda okay too. Maybe Outlander Sport, it's smaller if u looking for a compact and easy car.
My guess none around the push start because of the high touch of it and the chrome rubbing off with that much use? Just my assumption

Where is the Tacoma TRD PRO video?
H L hitting tomorrow! Do I have you excited?
@@RaitisRides Yes!
Get ready!
Sporty and responsive.
AGREED!
the soft armrest is almost NEW for 2019
Would you really say that this has a comfortable ride? I've heard that it has a very firm suspension.
I felt it was. I would need to drive it for longer than 20 mins but it felt really good.
I drove a cx5 and cx3 back to back today and they both drove nearly the same. Quality feel. A tad more engine noise for the smaller engine.
do you think a cx3 remap ( 170 hp ) with air intake, exhausts, low spring from cork sport and tyre of 225/40/18 instead of 215/50/18 OEM can feel like a little sport car ( miata spirit ) ?
No, i would not buy this to try and make it miata ish. Wont work, trust me
Just buy a mazda 3 or a miata or brz
DRTuned makes an ECU tuning kit for the CX-3
I have the 2016 ,get the 2016 not really a big difference alo now much cheaper.
That thing looks so short calling it a compact SUV is generous
I love it! LOL
But at least the roof is higher than Mazda 3.. i think..
@@kristiadihartanto2623 it's about 6 inches or so taller. It still looks so tiny

Nice review. For that price point that’s a pretty good setup.

I love the cx-3 but the cx-30 is what i’ll wait
I totally agree with you Patrick!
Another great review!
Superb review! Love the honesty and I learned so much! Gotta have one!! Zoom Zoom
Thanks Christin for saying that and letting me share this with you!

Great car info, could you please show us the new hyundai 2020 pallisade sel model. Thank you in advance.
Always paying tribute to the "Big Gulp"!
Heck yeah!
interior looks exactly like ' KIA FORTE 2019 " , identical .
You really think so?
Mild Zonk :LOL
itsjustme 🤣👍🏻 semi-zonk
This is the review im looking for
Is it comfortable for a 6'4" person?
I just got this exact same trim level in AWD. I'm 6'1'' and it's pretty good. No chance at the backseat though
Not a fan of the angles
Are you referring to the angles of the car?
Raiti's Rides haha yes sorry car angles. They're just to round. Cars look stealthy now. This car looks like the turtle shells from mario kart on n64 that spin around the kart. Volvo understands .Hyundai and Toyota go the memo.
It looks kinda cute
AGREED!
I love this vehicle 👍❤️
Just got one for uber! 😍
Enveng how’s it treating you 3 months later??
Lost me at 148 HP.
I feel your pain!
@@RaitisRides I would love this to be a turbo version because it looks like a little hot hatch. Reminds me of the Toyota Matrix
Like if you saw a Miata drove past at 15:03
I got mine
I am so glad that you were able to!
infiniti Q30 it competes easily with it.
Kona kia seoul Honda hrv

Good point Stevie!
A very nice looking small car
