Unfortunately we had to hand the keys back that afternoon when our own car became available. The handling at suburban speeds was also a little more doughy than I thought it would be, expecting it to be razor sharp like our previous ‘go-kart’, a previous generation 2013 Mazda2.īut on the open road the supple ride more than compensated. The rest of the car, including tyre and cabin noise was more muted though. The engine was actually noisier than I expected when pressed, and surprisingly so when compared to our older 2009 Mazda 3 2.0L manual, which is a notoriously noisy car. This aside we enjoyed its nimble handling, interior presentation and its slightly-higher-than-a-regular-car ride height. If both the luggage shelf, and the partition floor are in place, you can still fit the biggest suitcase, but only just. When I saw both cases stacked in the boot, I thought “no way” (would the door close), but “what the hell, let’s try it”.įor all those person’s out there, wondering if their city sized Mazda CX3 is up to swallowing a large and medium suitcase in the boot, (of similar dimensions to ours), then it quite possibly can! Stack the largest suitcase on the bottom, and the medium one on topģ.Ěnd if you remove the luggage security shelf….you can JUST fit both of these cases in, and close the boot door.Ĥ.Ěll this, without the top case touching the rear windscreen, and with the rear seats still up. If you remove the floating floor panel in the bootĢ.
We were handed the keys to a Mazda CX3 Maxx Sport courtesy car recently, when we dropped our 2013 CX5 diesel off for a recall check and service.Īt home we have our two regular suitcases:Ī large, 81cm Samsonite ‘Cosmolite’ suitcaseĪ medium, 75cm Samsonite ‘Liteshock’ suitcaseĪnd we were pleasantly surprised to learn that ġ. But being a city sized car, which would be handy for picking up and dropping off family visiting the Melbourne CBD, a bit of suitcase lugging ability would still be handy. We’re lucky enough to have another car that has a bigger boot. Our 2009 Mazda3 is getting on in years and we have been looking at replacements, for sometime in the future.īut we were also acutely aware that they are not exactly known for being hugely endowed with boot space, all 264 litres of it. We have been interested in the Mazda CX3 for a while now, especially with myself being a bit of a fan of Mazda vehicles.
We’re happy to report the findings of a question that our household has had about the CX3 for some time, that others may find useful too.Ĭould it fit either our large or medium Samsonite hard-shell suitcases?Īnd could it even fit both at the same time?
