The morning after delivery! |

Can you spot the fourth air vent? The round ones have red trim rings. |
|

Mazda says the 2.5 won't fit. But plenty of room around the 2.0. |
|

Neatly assembled engine delivers good power and better efficiency. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Intake manifold extends beyond cover. |
|

Unlike the HR-V's, the CX-3's rear seat doesn't fold low or nearly level. |
|

Cargo area is also smaller than most. Opening doesn't extend even as far down as raised rear floor. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
An unusually tight rear seat for a vehicle with rear doors. |
|

Though the lumbar bulge doesn't adjust, I found the driver seat supportive and comfortable. |
|

The controls are well-designed. The instruments are not. Nearly useless tach. |
|

Similar face to other current Mazdas. Does the large grille over-promise? |
|

JUKE interior is more campy, with a center console inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank. |
|

Also some padded and stitched surfaces, but not as visually exciting as the Mazda's interior. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The CX-3's interior is even sportier than its exterior. Artful use of red elements. |
|

Quirky JUKE has more upright proportions than the other two. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Far more practical than the Mazda, yet still plenty curvy. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The CX-3 looks most like a compacted Infiniti FX from the rear quarter. Fashionable hidden pillar. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The CX-3's unusual proportions are most evident, and least appealing, when viewed from the side. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
The JUKE's styling exemplifies like it or hate it. Lights atop fenders visible from driver seat. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Better proportions than the Mazda despite a higher roof and roomier interior. Less clunky moldings. |
|
2016 Mazda CX-3 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Sporty curves. But an overly long nose and wide black wheel lip moldings disrupt the proportions. |
