2015 will be great for Mazda. We just got the new 2 and the new MX-5 is close.
First, we meet this CX-3, based on the new 2 - and it does steer as nice!
It fights the Renault Capture, Peugeot 2008 and so on. So it has to be cool.
I reckon this is the best-looking in its class. What do you think?
Just look at the roof line - very nice design.
There's good engine choice, too. No downsizing, more like rightsizing.
So: a high compression 2.0 NA engine!
The seating's good, the interior looks nice - very neat.
This sporty version has a rev-counter centrally placed.
There's HUD and many safety systems, too.
What about the space? Fine up front, in any case.
In the back, not so much when I'm behind myself.
What about the boot? 350 liters, so not that roomy.
As we thought, it's very nice to drive here - despite a raised seat.
The powertrain is great, no lag, all revs. Good old-fashioned driving!
Mazda offers 3 engines: 120 PS or 150 PS petrol.
The first is just FWD, the second 4WD. There's a 105 PS 1.5 diesel, too.
You can either get FWD or 4WD on that.
There's choice of a 6-speed manual or automatic, too.
The first is an old-fashioned torque converter, which is 'refreshing.'
It's a nice car that stands out from the crowd. On sale from June on.
+ Nice NA engine; Distinctive design
- Tight in the back; Little boot space
