A front facing car seat provide comfortable space for my wife and daughter. I'm 6' 2', my wife if 5' 4' and I have a 3.5 year old. Sure its small but you should know that in research. I've owned my CX3 for several months now and I find myself enjoying the drive more and more. Twenty-seven miles per gallon is sill okay for speeds between seventy and eighty. Average mileage decreases with speeds over seventy. It seems best during sustained speeds of 60mph or less. Although I average 31mpg, I often find my gas mileage about 41mpg. I like having the sport size platform of Miata, with some added head room and a little more living space. I normally get better gas mileage with CX3 because I am more relaxed while driving. It is quieter than Miata, not quiet as good in corners, but darn close. I like the CX3 seating better for long trips.

It is still very dependable, but smaller and more cramped. I have a twenty year old Miata and just replaced tires, brakes and plugs on it. Navigation, Lane Change Assist, Gravity Assist, Back-up camera with warning assist is just a part of the package. I chose this vehicle because it was obtainable in my price range with an upscale package that included some accessories that are missing on many more expensive cars. The family enjoys the sun roof and riding environment and experience. In the GTX which I purchased is very comfortable and fairly quiet. Front seats feel roomy for a small vehicle.

More importantly, I find it a comfortable and … affordable vehicle to drive thus far. Passengers have complimented me on the ride. People have gone out of their way to approach me and praise the paint color. I like the color and the fact that it's small, easily cleans and shines well. If I had to choose one car for all around purpose, light duty, good gas mileage and over all performance, this car may be the one.
