Very nice. That's the best angle to photograph the CX3 and in that sky - perfect.

Thanks! Wasn't even clean and the wheels and tires had all the "glue" from the tire shop on them still...I'll get her cleaned up tomorrow :p
 
Hi Guys, I'm a newbie too.

I've had my car since April now and am absolutely loving it.

I live in Australia, and from the reviews I've seen I think they named our model lines slightly differently. I have a S-Touring in Deep Crystal Blue with the 2L petrol and 6 speed manual.





 
Gorgeous when the sun catches it. Welcome to the club.
 
Nice! And beautiful color too (I may be slightly biased as I also have the Deep Crystal Blue lol). And I gotta say the all-black interior looks really nice with the red accents. Is S-Touring the top of the line model in Australia?

We don't get manual transmission in the US for some inexplicable reason. But the auto with sport mode and paddle shifters is a lot of fun.
 
Thanks! Yeah it is a great colour. But I'm a fan of all the colours though, they all give the car such a different look. The S-Touring is second from the top, our top model is the Akari. Allot of the features are the same, apart from the Akari comes standard with allot of safety equipment. Pretty sure the Akari is the equivalent of the GT in the US and Sportsline in Europe.

I've always preferred manual, but I never drive in peak hour traffic. Auto with the paddles sounds like the perfect compromise though, they are allot of fun! It's becoming pretty rare to have a manual transmission offered in a high level trim car in Australia too.
 
Hey guys, had a few shots on my intro, but since this is the place to put them, Ill add them here and then some. I have a arctic white CX3 GX, or sport in the US I believe is the equivalent.

The fourth pic as kinda neat, showing the difference between the stock halogens vs Purple HIDs. The fifth one is the 6K HIDs I stuck with for now, might change to the purples which were 8K.

All good stuff. Seeing the white and black in picture one and yesterday’s grey, I’m beginning to wonder why I coughed up big bucks for the Soul Red.
 
Yea I'm running the 6k's right now. I liked the look of the purples, but a. they were my friends who was putting them in as his fogs for his car, and we were just seeing how they'd look on mine, and b. while they were brighter than the halogens, I found the 6K's to be obviously more brighter, and just in general look better.

Plus location of the shots make a difference, the purple/yellow shot being around 6pm'ish outside, the 6K shot being in a parking garage, but in person, there is much more difference between the 6 and 8. Plus I intend to darken my lights, so the brighter the bulbs, the better I guess.
 
This is my ride.
Gasoline, year 2015, 88 kW (120 PS), manual transmission.
