Nice pics. How'd you like driving the car? That blue really looks great on the car.

The CX-3 is a great little package. There was no Honda HR-V though. It would have been nice to test them back to back.

A few notes.

The Subaru CVT and throttle input were horrible.
The Jeep you cant see anything close in front. The rear seats are hard as a rock.
The CX-3 even with a solid rear beam is still a better handling package than either of them.

In reality im sure Honda will sell more HR-V's than CX-3's. But the overall winner to me would be the CX-3 with its driving dynamics and stellar interior, even though it has less cargo room than the HR-V.

I'm in agreement. Same experience driving the three vehicles, however, I was blown away by the AWD demo versus the Subaru Crosstrek. With the front wheels on rollers, the Subaru's front wheels were spinning at 2,000 RPM before the rear wheels engaged. The demonstration is quite compelling. Check out the first few minutes of the video: https://youtu.be/9aPpoi9s3Pw
