I've been thinking about buying the latest Mazda CX-3 on my own because many friends recommended it to me. So I decided to take the car for a test ride and check to see if it was worth all the hype, and to my surprise, the CX-3 met all my expectations. The first thing I liked about the SUV was its elegant look, complemented by Mazda's Kodo design language. When I sat behind the wheel, the overall layout of the cabin surprised me as it was subtle and spacious. When I started driving the car, it was easy to steer it around sharp corners. The suspension also works well, easily absorbing minor bumps on the road. On the engine side, the 2.0-liter Skyactiv gasoline mill connected to the 6-speed automatic transmission delivers fast acceleration and good overall performance. Even the safety features included are excellent, leading me to consider using the CX-3 in my garage.
