34: Mazda CX-3

The Mazda CX-3 is another car that has been around for some time now and the crossover has a loyal following. But the market for these small cars has become crowded to say the least, and the Mazda isn’t unique. You’d think a company that prides itself on the driving experience would put a little more work into this car. The CX-3 is lacking in a lot of areas which has sent buyers to other automakers. The interior quality isn’t on par with a lot of the cars in this class and the powerplant has become dated.

The Mazda Skydrive technology was nice at one point but nowadays it’s just a middle-of-the-road option. There is a lot to like about the CX-3 from a design standpoint, but the nuts and bolts could use some updating. Mazda is working on a replacement for the CX-3 so if you were going to opt for one of these I’d hold off. The current model of the car has just become dated and the price tag doesn’t fall in line with the product.
