Sitting in the garage waiting for the car to come round after it's service I spoke to one of the sales team, they said that there would be a new CX-3 radical overhaul coming in 2019, he was hinting that it would be a body re-design. I might wait for that, but it depends what it'll look like, of course!
Next car

It was that lack of choice when specifying a PROPER auto, i.e. a torque converter, which resulted in my purchase of the CX-3.
The new Suzuki Vitara might have been a contender, but the auto was only available in top spec, loaded with silly gimmicks which I did not want or need. At that price level it cost even more than an HR-V CVT auto, and the nearest dealership was in the middle of nowhere.
As I normally buy new and keep my cars for up to 7 years it will probably be a hybrid next, unless battery technology has improved enough by then to make an all electric practicable. There is no mains gas in my village, so on the Economy 7 tariff an overnight charge would cost next to nothing.

The update will probably also include the new Skyactive-X engine.deep blue wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 9:29 am

Favourite is another one, as long as FY19 brings something exciting
As the Sport Nav spec with Auto is now a must for us now, there is not a lot of choice out there
CVT rules out C-HR and HRV, price scuppers VAG
What else is out there?
Something with a 13amp plug!
SINCE FEB 2018 I NO LONGER OWN VEHICLE

Well I'll be collecting my next car this Friday with my CX-3 returning to the Mazda dealer next week who's buying it off me cash.
I've really enjoyed ownership apart from the few oddities that Mazda like to 'entertain' us with.

Any clues to make and model ???
