Struggling between “2024 facelifted honda hatchback hybrid with this cx 1.5 plus. Test drive both, to be honest city hatchback more quiet and current feel. Can please suggest if im going to drive the car at least 10 years?
If you are intending to ferry passengers and cargo, the HRV is still the best choice with its bigger cabin and boot space. CX-3 is more of a lifestyle car for single or young couples. Much less starting family.
CX3 Is the best looking Mazda in this sky active generation, period. It looked great 10 years ago, and it still looks great today. And it’s so fun to drive, the 1.5 engine is so rev happy and it’s quick enough. Build quality is also excellent, much better than (cheaper)Hondas in recent years. The only downside is the rear cabin space, which is the result of long engine bay design from Sky active engine. All Mazda models have this downside, but particularly the small ones suffer more (the 2, CX3, 3, CX30) compared to their class competitors.
Reckon there's also hardware constraint to this. And AFAIK Mazda doesn't offer a software update that upgrades MZD Connect (old) to Mazda Connect (new).
