Mazda CX-3 boot space is smaller than Mazda 3 because there are 4 wheel drive variants of the CX-3.
Was checking the CX-3 brochure from Mazda Australia and I saw the engine output for the 2.0 as follows:
Maximum power (kW * rpm) 109 * 6,000
Maximum torque (Nm * rpm) 192 * 2,800
In comparison, the 2.0 engine output for Mazda CX-5 and Mazda 3 (which I check to be the same with the Philippine spec) is:
Maximum power (kW * rpm) 114 * 6,000
Maximum torque (Nm * rpm) 200 * 4,000
If these figures are true, that means the engine for the CX-3 is tweaked a little bit to access torque at a lower rpm... Sounds too good to be true though.
Passed by PSE building earlier and I think I saw a white cx 3 parked in front. It had a big figure '3' decal on the side. Couldn't take a picture though, driving.
I thought the CX-3 will not be sold here in the Philippines? I am not sure, but I think I have read somewhere that it will not be reaching our shores. I do hope I am wrong, 'coz I really would prefer this over the M3, not that I don't like the M3, I actually love how it looks, it's just because it has a better ground clearance.
Berjaya did not say no nor did they say yes. The 2 is not even available yet. If the CX-3 is coming it will be introduced end of this year or MIAS 2016. I just hope they price it in the Ecosport range.
Cx3 only looks good in pictures coz the reviews from YouTube and Google images are using 17" low profile rims, in australia, regular models are equipped with 16 rims only. With a fat body like that plus 16 rims, I dunno how it will look like
that's Great! Will wait for their formal announcement until the end of the year, if none will come, will just go for the M3.

Mazda might miss the boat kapag di pa nila dinala yang cx3 dito. Yung hyundai nag introduce na nang mga new models
Naunahan na sila ni Hyundai dito with the announcement of the i20 Cross, which also looks good. Pricing nalang mgkakatalo
Autoblog first drive: 2016 Mazda CX-3
tl;dr HRV has better interior space as expected.

Read somewhere that the aussie specs of cx3 are euro4 engine, gas and diesel variant. I guess eto reason kubg bakit di nirelease nang mazda ang cx3 ngayong year.
