Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
Rent the CX-3 for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $117.80 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
