Five Things I Love About the 2017 Mazda CX-3 #DriveMazda

Every year I make the same mistake and think that things will slow down after
the holidays are over and we'll have time to just sit around and do nothing. Every
year I am wrong! As my kids get older, there just seems to be less and less down
time for pajama and movie mornings like I had when my oldest was little.
However, I have always been a person that liked to GO! My mom says one of
my first sentences was when I hopped in the car behind her wheel, started driving
the wheel, and said, " 'N go? 'N go?" She said I never stopped going!
And wouldn't you know it, my kids have my GO gene. They are always asking
me, "Mom, where are we going today?"

I loved having the 2017 Mazda CX-3 for a week because it made GO-ing so easy!

It's classified as a "subcompact crossover" and I loved it's smaller size, but that it

still had all the great features I loved in the Mazda CX-5 and  Mazda CX-9.

So, let's count down the five things I loved about the Mazda CX-3 and check out

it's best features and why it might be perfect your family.

{FIVE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE MAZDA CX-3}

{1} It is SOOOO easy to park!!!

When I took my kids to their school Open House there was this parking spot

that a minivan couldn't park in! Three people tried to park there and after they

gave up, I zipped right in to the spot in front of the school and they were all

jealous of my amazing parking spot! It's compact design makes it a breeze to park

in almost any spot. 

{2} All the available safety features!

Since my kids are with me about 90% of the time I am driving, I am crazy for

safety when driving. I get upset with drivers that mess with their cell phones or

fail to signal before changing lanes. So I love that the Mazda CX-3 has all the

great safety features that I've come to expect from Mazda. Blind spot monitoring,

rear cross traffic alert, active driving display, and front and side impact airbags

are just some of the features that you will appreciate in the CX-3.

{3} The trunk space!!!!

When I heard that the Mazda CX-3 was a "subcompact" vehicle I was worried that

there wouldn't be enough trunk space. But we loaded up the family to go to

LEGOLAND on a rainy day and there was plenty of room for a stroller, umbrellas,

jackets, and snacks. Everything we need for the day fit perfectly in the trunk,

which left space for the kids to sit in the back seat unencumbered.

{4} The advanced keyless entry and push button start engine.

When your hands are full and your toddler is running in the opposite direction

that you need to go in a parking lot, the last thing you want to worry about is if

you remembered to lock car. The Mazda CX-3 has the option to lock itself when

all the doors are closed and you walk away with the key. It was a game changer!

It made life so easy. I also love that I can push a button, leave the keys in my

purse, and bam! the car starts. It's so easy. You will love it.

{5} The exterior color options!

We had the Mazda CX-3 in the Crystal White Pearl Mica and it was so sparkly and

pretty in the sun. However, if you crave color in your life, there are seven other

color options - including a gorgeous Soul Red Metallic - for you to choose from.

The Mazda CX-3 GT also has a gorgeous interior with leather and suede sport seats

and a leather wrapped steering wheel that is heated! So awesome!

If you're in the market for a subcompact crossover that is perfect for a commuter
or a family of four, then you need to check out the 2017 Mazda CX-3 GT.
