The 2017 Mazda CX-3 AWD is a highly nimble, stylish subcompact crossover known for its sporty handling, premium cabin, and predictive i-ACTIV all-wheel-drive system. Built on a subcompact platform, it drives more like a fun, lifted hatchback than a traditional SUV, making it perfect for city commuting and foul-weather driving. However, it sacrifices rear seat legroom and cargo capacity compared to larger competitors. [1, 2, 3]
