There’s a reason crossovers are enjoying an increasing popularity: They’re versatile, comfortable, and reasonably affordable vehicles usually packed with great features. The 2019 Mazda CX-3 is no exception. Here’s what you can expect from the newest version of this compact SUV.
Three Trim Levels
Find the perfect match when you select from one of three versions of the 2019 Mazda CX-3. The Sport trim is the entry-level model, and it comes with 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, body-color side mirrors with integrated turn signals, and a rear roofline spoiler.
Next is the Touring trim, which improves upon the base version by introducing automatic headlights, 18-inch wheels, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
You might want to consider the final trim, the Grand Touring model, if you’re in need of luxury. This trim comes with a power-operated moonroof, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and leather-trimmed sport seats.

Brake Pad Thickness
Examine your car’s brake pads periodically. You should be able to get a good look at them through the spokes of your wheels. As long as the pads are at least one-quarter of an inch thick, they are probably in good shape. If the pads are any thinner, though, they may have worn out beyond their useful lifespan and will need to be replaced.
Checking the pads is one of the best ways to see how your brakes are doing because it involves clear visual evidence instead of the interpretation of mysterious noises. But sometimes you’ll need to use your ears, too.
