Towing trailer or caravan.

Hiya folks,
Just wondered if anyone here tows with their CX3, either a trailer or a caravan.
Petrol mainly but diesel comments as well.
If you do, or you know someone who else who does/did, how do you/they find the vehicle for towing.
Any comments most welcome.

Re: Halfords or main dealer?

Eight months ago I bought a CX3 from my local Mazda dealer. As time went by it gradually developed a knocking sound from the front of the car mainly on right hand corners over poor road surfaces. Two months back after spending some hours looking for the source of the knocking I traced it back to fro...

Re: Q85 battery replacement / I-stop.

To those on here who have used a CteK charger. Do you disconnect the battery from the car electrics or leave it connected as if in normal use.

My 2015 Q85 battery is the one fitted to the car originally. Due to this virus running around I have been forced to 'shield' for the past few weeks so unfortunately haven't used the car as much as I usually would. As the battery is heading towards five year old I am considering renewing it before it...

I run a 2015 2.0 petrol CX3, and have noticed that when I press the start button to turn the ignition on, the oil light comes on and then goes off before I try to start the engine. Does it , should it show low oil pressure or does it just indicate oil level? Being new to the car I am uncertain of ex...

Another CX3 convert.

I joined the ranks of CX3 owners six weeks ago and so far have enjoyed the experience. I bought a 2015 Sport Nav 2.0 petrol manual with 43,000 miles on the clock in Dynamic Blue after trading up from an Astra 1.8SRI VVT. I must say the Mazda has impressed me, it's quieter than the Astra, apart from ...
