Yes they probably have! But call me sentimental and old habits die hard, I check in to this forum everyday.
I also intend to return to Mazda in the future and am keen to keep up with the CX3 which is a great car
If I was changing cars in the near future I would look seriously at one of the new Citroens with their advanced comfort suspension and seating, possibly a C4 Cactus or a C3 Aircross, but as my annual mileage is low it would be a waste of money to change for several years.
For a fraction of the cost of changing, I intend to extend the warranty when it expires and address the CX-3's worst faults by :
1.) Fitting softer compound tyres, probably Michelin Cross Climate which are available in the 16 inch wheel size.
2.) Having the interior professionally soundproofed. Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) seems to be the most effective material, but I need to research the subject further and find a recommended installer in my area. If anyone has experience of soundproofing a CX-3, now is the time to post a reply!
When I do eventually change, I hope that the economies of scale will have brought the prices of hybrid and/or all electric cars to more realistic levels, for they are the future whether we like it or not.
