!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! got me thinking about the CX-3, and I forgot that I had all this insider info.... oh and some other site was reporting on MSRP so I decided to take a peek and.....

They’re auto. They’re ALL auto. You can’t (yet) get a CX-3 in any trim in the US with a manual.

I’m pretty sure you can’t find any of the new mini CUVs with a manual transmission, unless it’s a Juke or Renegade.

What’s this then?

Besides, it’s a crossover. People don’t tend to buy crossovers to have fun in. Get a Mazda 3 instead. Much more practical/faster/more economical/ better anyway. Or a Mazda 2.

No option at all? Or are they gonna do like the 3 with the 2.5 and bring it later?

As of right now there’s nothing. 2.0L and AT. AWD is an option on all trim levels.

European. So it’s not that Mazda doesn’t want to make one, they already do. They apparently don’t see American consumers buying one.

In Europe we also get a 1.5. A 1.5 turbodiesel that is.

Is it the same 2.0 as my 3? If so it would be the makings of a more fun cuv

Slightly less on both accounts. Detuned to protect drivetrain? Don't see how 10 hp and 5 tqs could have that much effect. Maybe to keep it from outdoing their 3?
