If you want a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rayskillmannortheastmazda.com\/used-mazda-cx-3-indianapolis\/\">used Mazda CX-3<\/a><\/strong> that is more recent, then the 2020 and 2021 model years are also good choices. All model years of the Mazda CX-3 can seat up to five people, but the rear seat is better for children than adults. Some model years of the CX-3 can tow up to 2,400 pounds when properly equipped. Most used Mazda CX-3 models come with FWD, but some are also equipped with AWD. The specs for the used Mazda CX-3 from 2016 to 2018 are basically the same.<\/p>\n<p>All models make 146 horsepower and get up to 29 MPG in the city and35 MPG on the highway. All models in this year&#8217;s range also have a five out of five-star safety rating from the NHTSA, and they also have a three out of five reliability rating from J.D. Power. The 2020 and 2021 used Mazda CX-3 has slightly more horsepower at 148. The fuel economy for these models is basically the same as before. The safety and reliability ratings are also the same.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w5jsNs4SxsM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=123&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<h2>Common Used Mazda CX-3 Issues<\/h2>\n<p>The used Mazda CX-3 does have some issues to report, despite its overall good reliability.

The main issue reported for the used Mazda CX-3 is the AC system, which is known to malfunction after two to three years. This can be an expensive repair, but if it happens under warranty, you\u2019ll probably be covered for most or all of it.<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"daassociates-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B003M2F7NI\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"4c9620eac35a8b086e102d3e161a731d\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Used Mazda CX-3 Overview<\/h2>\n<p>The Mazda CX-3 is a popular <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotcars.com\/mazda-cx-3-2016-worth-today\/\">subcompact crossover<\/a> <\/strong>due to its fun driving experience and good fuel economy in urban environments.
