2016 Mazda CX-3 - CNET
It just looks sportier and more athletic than rivals, and it manages to do so without looking cartoonishly pumped up for such a small vehicle. With its contrasting black fender overriders, it has a strong wheels-at-the-corner stance, particularly upper-level models that feature 18-inch wheels. However, the interior is plainly less capacious and flexible than some others in its segment (particularly the plainspoken but versatile Honda). That's not to say that the Mazda feels cramped -- engineers have done a good job of scooping out the doors and presenting a horizontally themed dashboard design to emphasize visual width. But it follows that rear seat room and cargo area are less roomy than many competitors, and a chopped greenhouse means that it doesn't feel quite as bright and airy inside. Fortunately, Mazda offers a stunning light-colored interior on top-shelf Grand Touring models that looks both surprisingly upscale and technical, but even lesser models include upscale contrast stitching and deep red trim accents. Regardless of trim level, there's a standard 7-inch LCD display mounted atop the low-profile dashboard. Source: www.cnet.com
