I have had a lot of acorns hit my cars this year, but so far I haven't noticed any dents.

it was a loud sound i will say that' a bit louder then normal. but then the trees on our estate are on the large side 75 ft. the only problem with dings is the car loses value when you come to trade in?

A bigger tree doesn't give you bigger acorns, just the terminal velocity may be a tad higher

Whilst driving yesterday had a big bang on the roof of the car whilst I drove under some trees, I stopped to have a look and was very dissapointed to find a dent in the roof of my car. I managed to remove it by using a MINI DENT PULLER SUCTION CUP FOR BODYWORK PANEL REMOVAL TOOL CAR & VAN, I purchased it from eBay seller, it took quite a few pulls to remove the dent from the roof of the car, and I can confirm that Mazda Roofs are nothing like as strong as any of my previouse car roofs. I have never experienced dents on the roofs of me previous cars due to falling conkers etc, and I have had heard them hit the roof. The doors are a similar problem which will no doubt start to show dents from other cars doors being opened and hitting my car. Yes as prviously mentioned Mazda have reduced the thickness of the steel certainly on the roofs of the CX-3, and the door skins also appear to be easily deflected by even slight pressure to the outer skins. I wonder whether the same problem occours with other makes of new cars regarding the strength or lack of strength of the body panels. Would be interesting to here from other car makes owners.
