Like many Mazdas, there are a raft of practical benefits to driving the CX-3. The vehicle aims primarily to keep the occupant comfortable so it has been designed around a well sculpted seats and a quiet cabin experience which provides convenience in long drives. Better yet is the fact that its fuel mileage translates into fewer stops at the petrol station and more coin in your pocket to buy birthday cakes for Mother Mary or help Father Brule build a skate park. Safety is a top priority as well, offering blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning that will take matters into its own hands to avoid accidents. While the Mazda is inconquerable in terms of performance — packing satisfying but not overwhelming acceleration and sharp, direct handling for a fun drive. The Mazda doesn't make us learn a new language to have reliability and fun in the city or on the open road.
