We got our CX-3 last night. It's a CPO service loaner with 2100 miles on it.
The radar cruise control is nothing short of magical.
IMO, every car should have lane departure warning systems retrofitted without a switch to turn them off. That way the festering anal sores that I share the road with might actually remember to use their indicators.
I'm pleased with the size of the vehicle. When I saw it at the Chicago Auto Show, I was irritated by the fact that it was smaller and yet more expensive than a Mazda 3. When we were shopping for cars smaller than our 2009 Infiniti G37x, I was shocked that the Mazda 3 was only 6" shorter. After parking it in our rather small parking space, I've decided to look at it as paying a premium for something that's easy to park.
A few minor quibbles...

A few minor quibbles...
- There's more road/wind noise than I'd like but I knew that going in. Comparing a small Mazda to an Infiniti isn't really fair. I may see how much I can get for the OE 18x8 wheel/tire combo and getting some 17" wheels with some quiet "grand touring" summer tires (I already have snow tires left over from the Infiniti that will fit).
- Holy crap the center arm rest is flimsy. It flexes and creeks even with my limp noodley arm on it. What's with it being hollow and having a spring inside? Do they think I'm putting my phone in there or something?
- WHY THE HELL ISN'T THERE A HOMELINK MIRROR OPTION?!?!?
