Mazda CX-3 2016

The 2016 Mazda CX-3 range of configurations is currently priced from $12,985. 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.

This is what Peter Anderson liked most about this particular version of the Mazda CX-3: Solid value, Good driving experience, Equipment levels

The 2016 Mazda CX-3 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1200 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

  • 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.

  • What's the best: Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, or Mazda CX-3?

    So many options. It's great to hear that you have had such a good run out of your Corolla, and that you would happy with another one. The Corolla is certainly a good option. So too is the Mazda 3, which would satisfy all of your needs. Both cars would be good choices. The Mazda CX-3 is a different car in that it is an SUV and gives you the advantages of a high driving position for good visibility and the flexibility of a wagon style body. It too would be good option, and I would suggest that you had a test drive of it to see if does what you want. All three are well built, reliable and I would expect them to give you many years of good service.
