    Spied: 2017 Mazda CX-9

    Did a test drive this afternoon. It was a GS-L model (similar to Touring in the US). It was only a brief test drive as most of the family was with me and I knew I wasn't purchasing today, thinking more long term. After driving a Honda Odyssey to the dealership (my current family vehicle) the...

    Spied: 2017 Mazda CX-9

    The lack of heated steering wheel is surprising since it shows as being on all but the lowest trim in Canada. Then again, the AWD is standard on all but the lowest trim as well. You would think they would keep things relatively similar between Canada and the US, but there are differences. Good...

    Spied: 2017 Mazda CX-9

    The new CX-9 comes with LED headlights on all models, not just top of the line.

    Go my first quote to buy CX-3

    Is that AWD or front wheel drive? If it's AWD, sounds like a good deal from what I can see. Also does that Grand Touring quote include the i-Active with it? Then it's a really good deal. Is it worth it going up to the next trim? I personally love the LED headlights. And it goes from the...

    2016 CX-3 center dash (2) round HVAC vents - where to buy?

    That's the kind of design you can do with all kinds of money, and when you are asking a lot of money for said car. Very cool design though. Never seen one in person so I wonder how intuitive it is to use or if it takes just a little getting used to. I definitely do like the look of the vents on...

    What have you done to your CX-3 today?

    Dropped the wife off at work and just drove around with the tunes cranked on a nice spring-like day. Still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it

    Different dash gauges

    I never even look at the regular digital readout of the speed as I'm always looking at the HUD. I only look down now to check fuel level, economy and distance remaining.

    They JUST started production, meaning they are now going to start building inventory and then ship them. Since they come by cargo ship, there is no way any are close to being in dealerships yet

    CX-3 Climate Control Issue

    Never had an issue with mine. I set it on auto and adjust accordingly. Take it to another dealer. This one obviously has no clue

    New CX-3 and Berkshire Mazda

    Congrats on the New CX-3! I also turn off the lane departure warning every time I drive it as I tend to cut the corners when I'm driving it since it's so fun to drive. I don't need a reminder every time I do it. The wife on the other hand, she always asks that I turn it back on for her.

    How does Mazda CX5 GT 2016 compare with Nissan Rogue 2016 SL?

    I know someone that just bought a brand new Rogue. Honestly like the look of it, but that's it. He got a dreadful 10L/100km (23.5mpg) on the highway. I was in shock when I heard that.

    Modified CX-3 action from Japan!

    Those look very sharp! I'm partial to the red as that is the colour we chose, but I'm with you on that last one. We looked at that colour too but, depending on the lighting, it was hard to tell that it wasn't white. The true colour really shows in these pictures with the mods they've done.

    Compare CX3 with CX5

    The heated seats in the CX-3 embarrass the CX-5. I had a 2013 CX-5. I didn't mind the seats on it as I tend to not use them as much as other might, but my wife always complained that they don't heat up as well as other vehicles we've owned. No complaints with the CX-3. In fact, she actually...

    Manual

    I miss my manual, but it's the wife's main vehicle(which I steal whenever I get a chance) so that wasn't even an option. With the paddle shifters though, the only thing missing is the clutch. It holds gears, especially if you select sport mode. When using the paddles, you are in full control...

    Maybe new owner...have some questions

    Better gas mileage. I'm averaging about 32-33mpg. Worst I've seen over a tank was 29, and that was with bombing around town for pretty much the entire tank and accelerating pretty aggressively. It just seems effortless to get good mileage. I noticed when my wife drove the CX-5, she would tend to...

    Manual

    No manual being offered at this time. And with manuals being even less popular in the US than Canada, I would be surprised to see it show up. It's a very good automatic transmission though

    Maybe new owner...have some questions

    I own a CX-3 GT AWD. I traded in a CX-5 GT AWD so I have some background with both vehicles. Now my CX-5 was a 2013, so I know it has been upgraded a little since then, with a bigger engine, slightly nicer interior and some tech goodies. I tested both engines on the CX-5 before deciding I really...

    Driver's seat height

    Seat height is lower in the CX-3 as it is lower to the ground overall. Both have height adjustments for the seats though. CX-5 has the typical height of all other mid-size SUV's, whereas the CX-3 is like a tall car. Drive them both. See which one you like better.

    Compare CX3 with CX5

    All my music is from either CD or iTunes. I don't know a lot about kbps rates other than I know people who have downloaded music only to find out it isn't a very high quality copy. An original CD or iTunes download I would guess would be more than enough for most people. Sony relaunched the...

    Compare CX3 with CX5

    Here's a good comparison. I was listening to a band called Billy Talent the other day, kind of a punk rock sound. I noticed a sound on the right that I'd never noticed before, and I've been listening to them for years. The one part of this song the drummer was hitting a crash cymbal to make a...
