In The Words Of Britney Spears: Oops!!…They’ve Done It Again…Mazda That Is! Mazda 2017 CX-3 Touring AWD. #DriveMazda @MazdaUSA
I don’t know about you, but when it comes down to Mazda vehicles they really do take the time to manufacture great vehicles. I have had the pleasure of reviewing many Mazda vehicles and I have yet to come across one I didn’t like.
With that being said, a week back I had the pleasure of reviewing the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Touring AWD, and the first thing that came to my mind when experiencing this vehicle was Britney Spears song: Oops!!…They’ve Done It Again…Mazda That Is!
Let me tell you more about this awesome vehicle. The 2017 Mazda CX-3 Touring AWD has a creative bold style and is also equipped with the SKYACTIV Technology.
What many of you may not know is all Mazda vehicles, including the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Touring AWD carry a 5star safety rating with the government. When the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Touring AWD was delivered to my home, I was floored at the beautiful Cermamic Metallic color! The 2017 Mazda CX-3 Touring AWD is not a large size vehicle at all, it’s more of a smaller version of Mazda CX-9 crossover if you ask me.
The 2017 Mazda CX-3 with SKYACTIV Technology exterior has a peak of the front fender pushed rearward to lie beneath the base of the A-pillars.
The side view of the CX-3 coveys a sense of extended body size. You can visually see careful attention was devoted to creating the rich expression and subtle change in each of the body surfaces. The 2017 Mazda CX-3 employs Mazda’s high strength SKYACTIV body which effectively absorbs impact energy from any direction to suppress cabin deformation. Safety has to be number #1 in everyone’s life, and with the SRS airbag system, front seat structure that firmly support the occupants head and door armrest designed to absorb impact, you better believe Mazda took all that into account to make sure everyone is safe.
The 2017 Mazda CX-3 also has your standard lane departure warning which I love so much, smart brakes, standard rear backup camera. As for the horsepower within the engine, yes honey, it has some great get up and go power.
Let’s go deeper, the 2017 Mazda CX-3 – engine and Drivetrain has a Skyactiv G2.0L 146 horsepower at 6000 rpms, with also 6 speed automatic Skyactive transmission. The 2017 Mazda CX-3 compact crossover came with so many cool features, like keyless entry, standard push start, Bose 7 speaker audio system, blind spot monitoring, Sirius X-M satellite radio, navigation system, one power moon roof and 18″ alloy sporty wheels.
I was totally amazed at all the cool features within this compact crossover! Let me just throw this out there, you will definitely look at the size and think this vehicle is small, but don’t let the small size fool you! It’s fully packed with the latest technology for a comfortable, safe ride!
The Mazda 2017 CX-3 Touring has a premium seating package which is “Beautiful” and very comfortable! As you see below the seats are all wrapped in leather with a touch of red accent from the front to the back.
Inside you will also see a leather wrapped steering wheel, USB ports, Bluetooth hands free phone button, 7″touchscreen, cruise control, heating and cooling controls and much more
The trunk space is not as large, but it is doable to work with. I placed one of the boys skating boards inside so we could go to the park. As you see, it was able to fit, but really didn’t leave much room left in my opinion, but again this is a compact crossover.
Well, if you ask me if I would purchase the Mazda CX-3 Touring? I would say yes, I think it’s a wonderful vehicle and a great car for a small family, even for a teenager. As always, Mazda vehicles hold a soft spot in my heart, because they are reliable, equipped with the latest technology, safe, and very sporty looking!!
My overall experience with the 2017 Mazda CX-3 was amazing, the first thing we did was hit the highway to visit our National Air Force base! We came by just in time, the kids had just enough time to capture one of our military planes landing! It was truly a wonderful sight to see!!
All I can say to Mazda, is “Keep up the good work Mazda”, you make Americans very proud to drive your well made manufactured vehicles! Plus, I love that Mazda not only specialize in providing consumers well made vehicles, they also give back to the community with their Mazda Drive for Good Charity program!
Do you know, since 2013 Mazda Drive for Good has donated more than 12.9 million dollars to provide monetary donations and community service throughout the year? Mazda provided me with a $25 charitable giving card to submit to my favorite charity on my behalf, I selected to donate to St Jude Hospital for St. Jude has such a big place in my heart. Thanks so much Mazda for allowing me to donate to a charity that definitely needs help, and thanks for all you do by building exciting vehicles and helping other communities…I applaud you!! In The Words Of Britney Spears: Oops!!…They’ve Done It Again…Mazda That Is! Mazda 2017 CX-3 Touring AWD is ready for YOU!!
Thank you so much Mazda for allowing me this opportunity to test out the new 2017 Mazda 2017 CX-3 Touring AWD. To learn more, just visit MazdaUSA.com

This is a great review and a nice looking SUV!
Pretty interior, but way too small for me.
Nice looking car but I’m afraid with our back problems it may sit too low. It’s easier for us to get in and out of a higher SUV type vehicle.
The car looks very cute and economical.
This looks like a really nice car.
I have never owned a new car. This would be a nice one. Little chance of it happening, but a nice dream!
I have not had a lot of knowledge about the Mazda but sounds like I would like one. Nice looking. I wonder if they have a hybrid.
I love the Mazda! I also absolutely love Britney Spears so nice job on the reference! 🙂

This car looks very nice. Thanks for sharing!
Have heard about Mazda for years but have never actually owned one. Might be a consideration.
That’s a pretty car! I’m thinking about getting one for my daughter! 🙂
Seems like a reliable little guy. I had a Mazda for years.

This car looks sharp! It has a lot of great features that I wish my car had like the rear backup camera, Bose audio system, keyless entry, and sporty leather seats.
That is a nice stylish ride. Very sporty looking.
I am a hatchback fan!! Currently in a Nissan Versa but this looks amazing !!
That is so awesome that they provided you with a $25 dollar donational card.
Very pretty! I actually like the size. Now that we don’t have any kids at home we no longer need a large vehicle.
I like that it’s AWD. I live in an area with snowy winters.
The car looks awesome.

Beautiful!
Nice car! We chose the Honda CRV over this last year but it was one of our front runners.

This is very nice. It looks like it has plenty of room. Really cool.
Love the title to this post, lol. This is seriously such a beautiful car! I love the size since it’s not huge but it still is a SUV and has so much space. I am definitely debating on getting a SUV for my next vehicle!
This looks like a nice car!
Such a cute car and I love that you showed us the engine. As a former mechanic’s daughter I appreciate that!!
Great looking car with lots of great features. Mazda 5 something to try out!
Great gas mileage. I agree on the trunk size. I need lots of space.
My husband was totally anti imports (although they’re all built in the US these days) until all three of my daughters ended up buying them. Daughter #1 is a Toyota driver. Daughter #2 is on her third Mitsubishi (a hit-and-run driver took out her first one just three months after she got it and it was on her birthday). Daughter #3 loves her Mazdas (she had an RX-7 but her husband made her give it up – the husband is out of her life so she bought another RX-7). Well, two years ago we got our first Mazda. It’s the Mazda 5 and I just love it! After years of all the problems we had with our Chrysler vehicles (the only make the husband would even look at), I finally have a reliable vehicle! I just wish mine was bigger. That’s the one thing I miss about my old Chrysler mini-vans.
Nice compact car that is great on fuel. Just bought new car otherwise I would check it out.
What a nice car. I would love to own this baby!
Oh wow! Looks like a wonderful car
Looks awesome! Love it! Beautiful car
Looks terrific but I almost need a bus with my 5 kids.

They sure do make a great looking car. AWD is a great feature to have, especially where I live in New England.

Mazda is a perfect commuter car I need to buy one soon
Looks like a fine car, I would definitely look into the Mazda brand if I were car shopping, that’s for sure.
I drove a Mazda when I was in high school and I loved it. It looks like a really nice car.I will have to check these out next time I am in the market. Just bought a car, so it will be a few years.
Love the sleek design of this Mazda! Looks like such a great ride!!
NIce car!! Hate to admit but I do love the bells and whistles on a car. Would love to have a new car like this but don’t do a lot of driving now that I have retired.
Such a beautiful car! My son has a Mazda and absolutely loves it, best car ever!
This really is a nice looking car. I am so sick of minivans and would love something like this next.
Awesome vehichle!
This does sound like a great vehicle. I love all the modern technology, especially being able to see the blind spot. St Jude has a special place in my heart. Thanks for a great review.
That’s a nice looking car.

It’s a nice looking car and it has some great features.
Love the look of this car. We have two, but I need to buy one for my son. This would be very nice.
Love this little vehicle’s looks! Touchscreen is great. Lots of room in the trunk area, also.
I’d love to buy a new car if I could I would get this one. I miss my suv/jeep. White although not sure I would get white ha ha

I’ve never owned a Mazda vehicle before,but this one looks like a sporty little vehicle!
Nice looking car. I like Mazda, I just wish they’d make more of a bigger sub style.
I owned a Mazda years ago and i loved that car, it had so much get up and go. This really is a beautiful car and I’m in love! The interior is gorgeous and exactly what i would want! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and photos. I’ve been wanting to trade my car for something more ME and this looks perfect!
That is a really nice looking car and anyone I know who has owned a Mazda has loved it.
Oh that looks so nice! I am going to be looking for a new vehicle in the next year or two. I have to go and check these out! I love that it has the 5 star safety rating!
