Thanks to reading this forum before I purchased my '17 CX-3, I had the dealer put the aluminum footrest (dead-pedal) on the carpeted left hump. Best accessory I ever added. MY GT came with the folding armrest (with the storage slot) but I saw pictures of the armrest with a built-in storage compartment. I think this part is available only overseas and not in the mainland USA. If Mazda dealers had this, I would definitely buy this and upgrade the one that is there, though it really isn't so bad now that I've been using it for the past 3 weeks. Years ago, I owned a Honda CR-V which came with front armrests attached to the sides of the front seat (like a captain's chair). Later on, the Honda dealers offered the armrest from the Element, which was much larger and had a storage area under the armrest pad. It was a direct replacement and I did the swap myself. Would love the Mazda dealers here to offer a similar alternative with the UK armrest.
