Mazda CX-3

Thanks to Drive Shop for giving me the opportunity to drive the 2017 Mazda CX-3. Opinions expressed are always my own.

Happy New Year! I was thrilled to welcome in the new year and even happier that I got to welcome in 2017 with the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring AWD.

Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s the beginning of another great year? I was fortunate to have an amazing 2016 filled with great food, good drinks and fantastic travels. As per usual, we welcomed in the new year with some of our favorite friends but we also had the chance to welcome in the new year with some new wheels. We were given the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring AWD to try out for a week.

The 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring AWD is a fun little car to zip into the new year. It is considered a subcompact SUV and will cost you about $28,500 for the model I drove. The vehicle has all the fun features you’d expect from a luxury car but with a sporty-side.

The seats were comfortable (bonus heated seats make a girl so happy) and for a smaller car, it was rather roomy. The vehicle seats five, but with my youngest still in a booster we could only fit four comfortably. I loved the look and feel of the seats and especially liked the trim. It was a nice finishing touch.

We were able to fit our post-holiday splurges in the trunk space and charge our new phones and devices with the USB ports.

Some of my favorite features:

The sporty look of the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Touring AWD
The color. The blue of this vehicle was so pretty. I typically only like black and grey cars but for some reason this blue color really connected with me.
Economical on gas. So much value when filling this car. As a girl who typically drives an SUV, this felt like a steal when I filled the tank.
Active Driving Display was awesome and definitely helped to keep my eyes on the road.

I mean, what’s more fun than welcoming the new year in with some wheels? If you are looking for a fun and smart car for the new year than the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring AWD is definitely one to keep in mind.
