Hey !

I'm a new owner of a CX-3 and really enjoy the drive. However, I needed to get rid of my stage2 Mazdaspeed3, but since it was a 3 seasons car and the beater wasn't reliable enough to carry a child in winter, I think it was the more suitable decision I could make.

Here is a small list of the cars I owned in the pass years and now:
- 1987 Mazda 323 LX - died
- 1991 Honda Civic CX - sold
- 2006 Mazda 3 GT-GFX - traded for Mazdaspeed 3
- 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 (stage 2 // three seasons car) - traded for CX-3
- 2004 Mazda 3 (winter beater) - traded for CX-3
- 2014 Mazda CX-5 GS (actual wife car)
- 2016 Mazda CX-3 GT (my actual car)

I come from a medium size city south of Montreal and my primary language is French so don't be rude at my spelling, I'm doing my best even if sometime I can get it wrong. :D

Anyway, got the red CX-3 with white leather seat and it looks awesome. I'm not looking put aftermarket stuff in a close future, but I would like to later on.

Red you did awesome, I don't think there are any spelling police here :)
I bet you are looking forward to driving it in the winter as I am here in Edmonton. I bought the GS with the AWD. Did you get the Mazda Mobile Starter?

I took the white trim. I know it can easily get dirty but the look is unsually and gives a touch of luxury.

There is no armrest. It could be annoying for people who are leaning over it, so I ordered the accessory that goes over the cup holder ($350 CAD). I still don't have it yet, I'll keep you in touch about it because I'm also concerned about the cup holders.

Don't have the mobile starter. May be that's something I will consider later, could be quite useful when it's -30 Celsius outside.

=============================

I have the car for only two weeks, so I'm still on the excitement of a new car, my opinion would not be very objective.
Maybe after a couple of week I would be in a better seat to gives a more rational opinion.

=============================

Great looking pair. Hope to make a similar pose with our blue CX-5 and a new Soul red CX-3 in the not too distant future.

Looks Awesome Redbeast! The white is such a cool interior, if I could have gotten it in my GS I would have been all over it. I think I would be a-ok with the cleaning aspect of it.

I negotiated the mobile start into the deal, The only thing I am trying to figure out is why it stops as soon as I open the door. I agree with you, that it will be perfect for the really cold winters that you and I both will have this year.

The 626 was a but too expensive at this time of my life. When I had the 323 and civic, I was still at school and wasn't able to affort the price of a 626 or a millenia.
When I did complete, I bought a brand new car, and the 626 was discontinued at this point (Mazda6 could have been though but was more attracted by the Mazda3).
