I am in the market for a new car and really really love the CX-3! I am not too concerned about the lack of cargo area, I drive a Mini Cooper right now and ANYTHING is a step up. Do you all love your CX-3? I drive over 2 hours to work, and want something I really enjoy driving. Debating between this and a Subaru Crosstrek. Any thoughts? Thank you!

As I've asserted elsewhere, the CX-3 is the Practical Man's Porsche Cayenne, but with better styling and miserly fuel consumption ... a reasonable solution/compromise on all parameters. To me it's the replacement for a 356 I had many, many years ago. Your Mini Cooper is no doubt faster, but in comparison the CX-3 will almost seem like a mini-van.
I've several friends with Crosstreks ... old technology, narrow ... and I believe soon to be restyled/replaced.
Is it fun to drive? Yes! Love it? Well, not quite like my ol' 356, or is that just nostalgia ... FSU, all-nighters, football, sorority row ...
