Hi everyone,

I will soon be the proud new owner of a Mazda CX-3 :D As soon as I saw the car I fell in love with it!

The car will be used by me and my sister. Done a lot of research about the car and size was the main issue in most reviews. After finally seeing the car in real life it was actually bigger than i expected. We are both 5"10 and i could fit in the back seat.

Went to the dealer beginning of May with the intention of buying the car and having it in 2 weeks time. We were told they had just been informed about the new model coming out soon. This was a bummer as it meant we have to wait even longer, but happy to be getting the new model with the colour head-up display :D

We placed our order on the 18th of May for a Sport Nav 2WD in Soul Red with manual gearbox, black interior and the safety pack. We were told the earliest delivery date would be end of July/beginning of August :(

Can't wait to finally get my dream car in July/August.

Gus, as you bought your CX-3 at exactly the same time as we did, have you now got the same darker colour soul red front and rear crumple zones as we have? So far on this forum, we seem to be the only ones with this unique feature!

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. When I said I wanted Soul Red he didn't mention anything about this. Perhaps a call to the dealer is required to ask about this ;)

Sorry for the confusion Monica. You can't actually specify different shades of Soul Red for your new car. My question was to Gus as I understand that the first CX-3's to hit the UK comprised of body panels (metal) sprayed at a different location to where the crumple zones (plastic) were sprayed. This resulted in a noticeable difference in shade - particularly with models in Soul Red and Dynamic Blue. I believe Mazda have now solved the problem and your CX-3 should arrive painted all over in one identical colour. Trust this helps.
