The Mazda CX-3 in a 1.5-horsepower version of the 105 Skyactiv-d with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive consumes very little and drives very well. The sporty look and quality of the interior are also its strong points. among the defects, instead, we find a trunk below average and little room for rear passengers. The price for the Exceed version is interesting, especially considering the equipment.
La Mazda CX-3 it's the little sister of the Mazda SUV family, but that doesn't mean it's the most immature. Indeed new CX-5 (she came out a few months ago) was very inspired by her, especially the look. The CX-3 is sleek, clean, harmonious, especially when dressed in red. The interior may have been copied a bit from the Mazda2, but it's still very beautiful, simple and exudes quality. And there is also an engine 1.5 diesel Skyactiv-d da 105 CV, a small gem that consumes nothing and does its job well, although not a power monster.
The version with front-wheel drive and manual transmission is in this case inexpensive, even with the maximum configuration. exceed, which really has everything you want.
CITY
La Mazda CX-3 in the city it is easy for him. It is compact (length 428 cm) which makes it manoeuvrable and above all suitable for parking. The clutch and gearbox are light and the visibility, at least from the front, is very good. Of course, the version with automatic transmission makes driving in the stream more relaxing, but the hand lever is so pleasant to maneuver (Mazda has always done it well) that you don't let it slip too hard.
IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
We come to the guide: Mazda CX-3 - despite the appearance - he does not have a sports vocation, but this does not mean that he drives a bad car. The steering is precise and linear, the accelerator is tiltable (a detail that is always a pleasure), the finish is soft but well thought outAll of this makes the CX-3 a pleasure to drive around corners as well as on the highway. Pits are never a problem and the engine cannot hear its own voice. That's right, the engine. 1.5 Skyactiv-d has modest power (105 h.p. and 270 Nm of torque), but it is liquid, regular, elastic. And, above all, it is not devoid of power, also due to its low weight. (total 1275 kg) aircraft CX-3. Consumption is also excellent: the declared figure is 4 l / 100 km combinedand real consumption is just around the corner.
шосе
I am not even afraid of long journeys. With adaptive cruise control and Head Up Display (unique in its segment) Traveling on the highway in the Mazda CX-3 is a pleasure. The engine struggles to overtake and resume in high gears, but if it gets stuck at cruising speed it has little power and no buzz; that's what is expected of the 1.5-strong 105.
Too bad for little room for a long family trip, the only drawback, but not insignificant.
LIFE ON BOARD
La Mazda CX-3 It has objectively very well done interiors. Simple, but non-trivial, complemented by beige leather packaging. Leather package... Everything is within reach and the infotainment system is intuitive and easy to use. To be considered real prize a little "softness" at the top of the dashboard would have been enough, but we're close to it.
The problem with life on board is more in space. The two adults behind it are not entirely comfortable and 350-liter trunk leaves much to be desired.
PRICE AND EXPENSES
La Mazda CX-3 1.5 Skyactiv-d 105 hp. with equipment exceed coast 25.270 euro. This is an attractive price: very rich equipment (full LED headlights, automatic climate control, cruise control, head-up display, Bose® Premium audio system with 7 speakers, lane keep warning, 18-inch wheels) and the engine is so low. that it seems to be running through the air. In addition, there is also quality, perceived or otherwise, which is undoubtedly worth the cost.
In short, if you don't have a family and are looking for a beautiful B-SUV that drives well and consumes little, it's hard to find the best package.
SECURITY
La Mazda CX-3 it is stable and safe and equipped with all the most advanced driving assistance systems. Braking can be improved.
