I had the opportunity to test drive the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Touring FWD for a week with my family. No compensation was given and all opinions are my own. 

It’s been a while since I’ve shared about vehicles on the blog, but hopefully I can bring you all some more reviews on family friendly vehicles. Helping you all with your purchasing questions and inside views! Today I’m sharing with you all the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring FWD in Dynamic Blue Mica.

My first reaction when I saw the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring was, wow that’s bright! I absolutely loved the Dynamic Blue Mica color because it’s totally different than anything you see on the road. Sure enough when I rode this fantastic car down I-4 traffic I was the only one standing out!

Not only does this compact vehicle have one of the best fuel economy gas rating that I have seen, but it drives super smooth. At times I told my hubby that it was nice to drive a vehicle in which I could find a parking space easily or change lanes by zooming by. Don’t worry, I was safe, just felt like I was zooming by everyone because of the size and shape compared to my mini van.

It really made sitting in traffic and jumping from doctors appointments a breeze. Especially when using the navigational system in the vehicle would direct me towards my destination making sure that I avoided the traffic as much as possible. 

 

Oh, just my girls and I cruising in the 2017 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring FWD! Their favorite feature? The sunroof and playing music from mommies phone!!

Another fun feature that my girls absolutely loved was the moonroof. Letting our hair lose was fun, but not for very long. Unfortunately, this is the same week Hermine visited Florida, so our letting our hair blow in the wind was very short, but we still had a chance to try it out as we drove all over downtown Orlando.

Even with the bad rain we were getting in Orlando, I felt very safe in the Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring. I loved that I didn’t have to leave the eyes from the road if I wanted to check my speed or if there were vehicles next to me when changing lanes. With safety features such as bling spot monitoring, rearview camera, head-up display, and dual front airbags just to name a few, the 2017 Mazda CX-3 really makes it easy to love.

Personally, I would love to own the vehicle if I didn’t have kids. Although, the car seats fit comfortably in the back seat, it would make it difficult to go grocery shopping or family road tripping. The car is something that I would love for my husband to get for himself, because it’s perfect for him to commute to work with an awesome Bose system and wonderful on gas. It definitely makes the perfect second vehicle in a family home.
