So just an update on my CX-3 - Got it at the end of June and with 2500 km (1553 miles) on it we (my wife, daughter and I) just took it on a 4300 km (2672 mile) 12 day road trip to New Orleans and back. So if anybody passed a black CX-3 (with Ontario plates) anywhere East of the Mississippi in the last ten or so days, that was us.
So how did it do --- GREAT. Couldn't be happier. Comfortable, quiet, handles beautifully and we had lots of room. Folded down one of the rear seats and had no problem packing everything in. Seats are very comfortable. Engine performed flawlessly - cruised all (5-9 hours per) day at or slightly above the speed limit. Over the total trip averaged 7.6 litres per 100 km (31 mpg). Only slight issue is the fuel tank size - range is a little short - would appreciate if it was just a couple of gal. larger.
Drove the length of the Natchez Trace Parkway (440 miles) with the cruise control locked at 52 mph and just enjoyed the scenery and the car. What a beautiful park - something to be proud off.
For those lamenting the lack of an arm rest, I just want to say I didn't miss having one in the least. Nav took a bit of fiddling to get the settings correct - but once I did it works fine. Really got used to having the heads up display and would recommend to anybody to have.
Engine has lots of horsepower for this car - never felt a lack of power no matter the hill size or when pulling out to pass.
To sum it up - got home today liking the car more than when we headed off.
