I didn’t know they were at dealerships already in the US (prior news pegged them coming in autumn) This one was out and about and appeared to have temp tags

Initial impressions: It looks gooooood. The grille doesn’t look as good as CX-5 or 6, but still good. I’m still interested in acquiring one someday, or a CX-5, after I drive both back-to-back.

I definitely want to know about it more. I’m considering one.

We just got ours in Thursday last week, they're great cars, I actually really like the front and how the chrome accent on the grill extends into the headlights.

That’s one of my favorite Mazda design cues right now (headlight chrome continuance, that is). How do you like it? I’m torn between the neat packaging and size of the CX-3 and the fact the CX-5 only costs a little more for a lot more space and similar mileage. Neither seem like a bad choice.

I like it a lot, it mainly comes down to size. The commander control is a little awkward to use in the cx3, the armrest kinda gets in the way, but you can get paddle shifters and hud that you can't get in the cx5, which is nice. It's quite a bit smaller, that's the only real drawback I can see, much smaller even than my 2015 3. I like the interior a lot better though, there's some neat touches.
