2016 Mazda CX-3

Huge thank you to Drive Shop USA and Mazda USA for allowing me to drive the 2016 Mazda CX-3 this week !

Its no secret that Mazda knows their way to my heart. One thing that always amazes me is how fast Mazdas are. The 2016 Mazda CX-3 has their "Sky Activity" built into the motor. Which is kind of like having an Eco friendly car. "Sky Activity" allows the CX-3 to be gas saving ,  light weight , and able to take off right when you step on the gas. I've got to say - the taking off part was my favorite.

At first glance , the sharp lines and edges on the front of the CX-3 scream sporty. The beautiful Ruby Red will have people turing their heads. The hatchback gives a very cute look to the exterior as well.  And its size will have people wondering , how this small hatchback can be so jam packed with power. 

The 2016 Mazda CX-3 is a compact sporty car , although not much leg space is provided - the soft leather seats are very comfortable. You have just about everything you'd expect from a 2016 car. You've got navigation , a rear view camera, blind spot warnings, USB and AUX ports, the list goes on. Which all come in handy and make your experience in the Mazda CX-3 that more amazing. 

I enjoyed the subtle red leather trims and side arm panels wrapped inside the CX-3. This gave the interior a very luxurious feel. 

In conclusion , the Mazda CX-3 is for the compact and sporty lovers out there. I see this car being perfect for students who are always having to cram into tight spaces. This is even a great city car - we all know how cray Los Angeles traffic is . All in all , if your looking for a gas efficient , fast , compact , and powerful car - the 2016 Mazda CX-3 is worth looking into. 

2016 Mitsubishi Lancer

This past week I was given the opportunity to test drive the 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer , all thanks to Drive Shop USA and Mitsubishi Motors USA. 

I've got to say if simplicity is your thing , The 2016 Lancer is just the car for you. 

The new Lancer is a comfortable ride that offers you the basics of getting from point A to point B. You have the freedom to choose between 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive modes , as well as an eco mode for efficient gas saving. 

This years Lancer has gotten a new facelift. As you can see , the traditional grill has been modified to look much softer in my opinion. Which did not bother me - I found it to sill be just as attractive.

I was very happy with the space inside of the Lancer , for a sedan - it provided a lot of leg space. The week of having the Lancer , I drove a full car around everywhere. Each passenger was comfortable in the front and back seats.

Overall , Comfort and Simplicity are the words that kept coming up while test driving the 2016 Lancer. If your lifestyle requires these two things , The 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer will suit you well !
