I took it for an extended test drive and yes it's a nice drive, but it's not a lot of fun, but it's not designed to be quick and handle well. My wife loved it though so that's the main thing as it will be her car.Strangways wrote: ↑Sat Apr 21, 2018 5:23 pmIt won't take you long to realise this is as much fun to drive as a hot hatch, and I'm told the auto box is one of the best and the paddles are more fun than a gear stick (paddles more fun than a gear stick!!! maybe I dreamt that bit).Grumpydad wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 7:53 pmThanks for the welcome, I'll hardly ever use it, it will be used by my wife mainly. I prefer little hot hatchbacks with a manual gearboxStrangways wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 7:20 pm Hi Mike and welcome to the forums. I'm sure you and your wife are going to enjoy the CX-3.

Lovin the auto box on mine... but prefer the stick to change rather than the paddles which are useful for checking you're in the highest gear etc when on auto. Very chuckable car.... just wish the sat nav history would work. Better half's got a Jazz '12 cvt..... world of difference

This is my daily run about, had it since new, and within a week had it remapped and engine upgrades so it's running 235bhp. Puts a grin on my face every time I drive it.ptirving wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:21 pm Lovin the auto box on mine... but prefer the stick to change rather than the paddles which are useful for checking you're in the highest gear etc when on auto.

I'm a petrolhead but getting old but young at heart lol. Before the st, I'd been running BMW M3's for 6 years, a Boxster and various other sports cars.
