- There's no way you've not heard about the Mazda CX-3.
It's one of the oldest models currently still going that was part of the 'BIG MAZDA RESET' generation. Count 'em up, that's a full 10 years ago now.
You might be asking what's it still doing hanging around after that long.
Well, the answer is that it's still really quite good. It only lacks the visual punch because we're all too familiar with it - a victim of its own competence, maybe. Alongside newer cars, objectively, it can still pull the looks. Those aren't gimmicks, they're good genes.
Elsewhere, the truth is that it still shows up as a really well rounded little crossover. Comfortable, well-built, practical, and, oh yeah, way more fun to drive that it has any right to be. Even now, 10 years after it first entered the scene, it's still got some lessons to teach the upstarts and pretenders.
At RM115k and only going up from there, you could probably find something flashier or stuffed with tech, but the Mazda is special to those who know what they want - specifically, those who have test driven the CX-3. And if you want this, there’s really no alternative.
If you've passed on it before, it might be worth taking another look.

This guy deserves more views and subs
He's a legend at his trade. I'm watching him from South Africa
Very much appreciated!
@@IAmCruz100 Too kind! 🥲
I have never owned a Mazda so maybe this will be my first, after watching this video of course. Good review😁
You look so enjoy driving the car. May i know the power of this 1.5l compared to other 1.5l? Like myvi, vios or city. How is it feel and its power?
Best eng host imho
Salute very good english👍
Are you sure about AC vents for the rear? In Australia, rear vents were added a few years ago underneath the front seats.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Can the infotainment system receive an software system update to look like the newer Mazda infotainment system or is it not designed for that?
Reckon there's also hardware constraint to this. And AFAIK Mazda doesn't offer a software update that upgrades MZD Connect (old) to Mazda Connect (new).
Struggling between “2024 facelifted honda hatchback hybrid with this cx 1.5 plus. Test drive both, to be honest city hatchback more quiet and current feel. Can please suggest if im going to drive the car at least 10 years?
Between those 2 options, we'd go for the Honda 😁
That plastic cladding around the car is a deal breaker for me. I was contemplating between this and CX5.
What if: cladding is totally non-beneficial....other than allowing automakers save on paint 🤔
Totally agree!
This or HRV S spec?
If you are intending to ferry passengers and cargo, the HRV is still the best choice with its bigger cabin and boot space. CX-3 is more of a lifestyle car for single or young couples. Much less starting family.
Honda WRV or this?
For the value, we'd go with the Honda. We'd say it feels slightly more spacious inside too.
Elegant and premium look cx3, value wrv.
Most definitely cx3
CX3!

CX3 Is the best looking Mazda in this sky active generation, period. It looked great 10 years ago, and it still looks great today. And it’s so fun to drive, the 1.5 engine is so rev happy and it’s quick enough. Build quality is also excellent, much better than (cheaper)Hondas in recent years.
The only downside is the rear cabin space, which is the result of long engine bay design from Sky active engine. All Mazda models have this downside, but particularly the small ones suffer more (the 2, CX3, 3, CX30) compared to their class competitors.
