The Mazda CX-3 is very good subcompact crossover with great looks and driving performance. Where it fall short - on space - is exactly where one would expect a "subcompact" crossover to do so. If you want a versatile, highly maneuverable vehicle that will go where you need to go, from negotiating tight city streets to carrying you into weekend expeditions on country roads, the Mazda CX-3 will get you there in high style. Kelley Blue Book® has the review.

There's only one engine and transmission combination available for the front- or all-wheel-drive (FWD, AWD) 2017 Mazda CX-3: a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder putting out 146 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. But Mazda built a lot of technology into that engine, such as the lofty 13.0:1 compression ratio. In the CX-3, it's all about fuel economy, and part of the Skyactiv powertrain management system. Good news: It works, with the CX-3 returning very good fuel economy.
Looking inside, even in its Sport model, the monotone black cloth upholstery looks good, and upping the ante to the Touring model's Leatherette or the Grand Touring model's leather/Lux Suede seats with second-color piping sweetens the deal into luxury territory. With the GT you also get soft-stitched material over the gauge hood. The cockpit is geared toward the driver in what Mazda calls its "Head-up Cockpit" concept. The gauges themselves are housed in a well-defined nacelle, and the iPad-like infotainment system includes text-message audio delivery, voice command, and apps like Aha and Stitcher.
