2016 Mazda CX-3 tops in Car and Driver Comparison Testing - Torque News
The 2016 Mazda CX-3 small crossover went on sale just this month, and already it has beaten the pants off the competition. In the September issue (pages 87-97), Car and Driver meticulously compares the Chevy Trax LT, Honda HR-V EX-L, Fiat 500 X Easy, Jeep Renegade Latitude, and the Mazda CX-3. In the end, the CX-3 was the hands-down winner. The CX-3 was first in 12 of the 22 rating categories. Most importantly, the Mazda CX-3 wins the “Fun to Drive” category, while also having the best fuel economy in the test. The Mazda CX-3 didn’t do well in the rear seat and cargo area categories. Of course, if those are important to you as a buyer, perhaps the larger, but still compact, Mazda CX-5 would be a more logical choice. The Mazda CX-3 also didn’t have any “Rebates” so it could not win that category. Car and Driver found that the CX-3 had it where it counts. The CX-3 was tops in not just the subjective opinion of the testers. The CX-3 was the car with the highest performance in almost every measured instrument test. The CX-3 will have advanced forward collision prevention available. Source: www.torquenews.com
