2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring – Premium Pocket Rocket with Soul
When did small become synonymous with boring? The 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring laughs at that notion—delivering Mazda's legendary "Zoom-Zoom" driving dynamics, upscale materials, and surprising sophistication in a nimble package that makes parking garages feel like playgrounds. This isn't a penalty box on wheels; it's a premium subcompact that proves you don't need to sacrifice fun or luxury just because you chose practical dimensions.

Award-Winning DNA: Mazda consistently earns accolades for "vehicles that prioritize driving enjoyment" and "interiors that punch above their weight class." The CX-3 captured attention from automotive journalists for "handling that embarrasses larger crossovers" and "cabin quality that rivals luxury brands." This is the subcompact crossover that made reviewers forget they were driving an entry-level vehicle.

The CX-3's design remains strikingly contemporary—the bold Kodo "Soul of Motion" design language, aggressive front fascia with signature wing grille, sculpted character lines that flow like brushstrokes, and distinctive LED taillight signatures create presence that belies the compact footprint. Perched on 18-inch alloy wheels with the Grand Touring's chrome accents, this looks expensive because Mazda designed it that way. While competitors aged poorly, the CX-3 still turns heads.

Open the door and discover Mazda's obsession with premium materials—genuine leather wraps the sport seats, soft-touch surfaces cover the dashboard, contrast stitching adds sophistication, and metallic accents catch light beautifully. The driving position feels perfectly tailored, the leather-wrapped steering wheel fits your hands naturally, and the sight lines provide commanding visibility despite the compact dimensions. This is a cabin designed by people who actually enjoy driving.

The SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder produces 146 horsepower with eager responsiveness—power delivery that feels spirited despite modest numbers because Mazda tuned everything for engagement. The six-speed automatic transmission shifts intelligently with manual mode for canyon-carving fun, while the available all-wheel drive system provides confidence year-round. But here's the magic: the CX-3 achieves impressive fuel economy while delivering driving dynamics that make commutes feel like recreation.

The Fun Factor: Precise steering communicates road texture, the suspension balances comfort with cornering composure, and the whole package feels lighter and more agile than the spec sheet suggests. This is the antidote to numb, appliance-like crossovers—Mazda engineered joy into every drive.

Grand Touring Luxury: The top trim doesn't skimp—power moonroof floods the cabin with light, Bose premium audio system with seven speakers delivers surprisingly rich sound, heated leather seats warm winter mornings, and automatic climate control maintains perfect temperature. The head-up display projects speed and navigation onto the windshield like technology from luxury sedans.

The Smart Value Play: You're acquiring Grand Touring luxury, premium materials, and Mazda's famous driving dynamics at a price that makes financial sense. This delivers upscale experiences without luxury-brand depreciation or maintenance costs.

Mazda Reliability: While subcompact competitors suffer cheap interiors that rattle and powertrains that strain, Mazda's SKYACTIV technology delivers proven durability. These engines run smoothly for years, the transmissions shift reliably, and the interior materials age gracefully.
