{Car Review} Quality Time with the Gals Cruising in the 2016 Mazda CX 3 Wednesday 30 March, 2016
Hi all another car review. This was a real fun review as I got this my birthday weekend! So yes I was riding in style the week of my birthday in the new 2016 Mazda CX3. This cute preppy subcompact are was exciting to drive as I had lot of festivities to enjoy it in for the celebration of me and other holidays. You guys know I stay on the move, different events but this time its about being with my gal-pals!
I think what makes being an adult so important is to keep the connection with your friends. It can be hard, and as I turned this milestone birthday last month, I am making it a mission even more to hang out with my close girlfriends more often – and sometimes that means arranging trips or even going out to eat for brunch! You all know how much I love brunch. So before I move forward on how I celebrated my birthday and holiday with my girls – lets get into this fun sedan!
Cute sunroof
I really enjoyed driving this baby. It very much reminded me of the sporty red Madza 6 I reviewed a few months back. All of the features are seemingly the same but there were a few differences. Obvious difference the burgundy accent leather placement within the side panel of the doors and near the clutch was unique. I also think this car is slightly smaller, less intimidating if you arent going for the super sporty feel. More of a personal comfort every day classic car.
It;s main features include a backup camera, Bluetooth, dual-zone automatic climate control and automatic wipers.Highly equipped with Bose sound system, smart navigation, leather seats and LED lighting.
Traveling to New Orleans to Mardi Gras for my birthday
New Friend I met in New Orleans for Mardi Gras for my bday
I had a ball for my day birthday trip to Mardi Gras this year. I am not gonna flood this post with pictures because what happens in Mardi Gras stays in Mardi Gras lol. I’ve been several times before, it is always around my birthday – and this year it was on my actual birthday so I celebrated with my two friends. I decided for my birthday I X’d all of my original plans to throw this big milestone birthday party and decided to go to the party. My friends Tarren + Alexia I love them because they went with me within my two day notice of cancelling the party and went with me. Now we didn’t take the Mazda CX-3, because we went on a day party bus down there – but next time we will be taking a roadtrip to New Orleans. I actually drove the SUV version (Mazda CX 5) last year to Jacksonville,FL so Mazda’s I already know its perfect for the road! Tarren + I are blogger friends together so we want to make it a travel trip so next trip I would love to take a Mazda CX series.
When I came back from Mardi Gras I came back to celebrate with my friends who couldn’t come to New Orleans with me last minute and hosted my annual Galentine’s Day party. It was my Galentine’s Day/Birthday brunch and this was my 4th year hosting it. Galentine’s is so important for me to celebrate because V-day is my favorite holiday and it always me to have intimate gathering with my friends whether we are single or not and be each other Valentines. It’s special because its always over good food, we give each other Vday cards and gifts so everyone can get V-day love and a great ways for all of the Gal’s to know each other.
People usually assign this day for their “lover” but its ok to love on your girl-friends! So it was fun and my friends are all awesome! Another great celebration for my birthday.
We went to this restaurant called HobNob for the Brunch and it was my first time. Look I was here for the bottomless mimosas but the food was really delicious for a brunch! I am a super brunch snob and this place was really good. This isnt a food review, so maybe one day I can do a full review. For now this is just a sample and I will be returning!
Loved driving this around the city for my birthday week
The Mazda CX-3 pricing starts at $19,960. Mazda’s compact crossover comes in three different desired colors.

I’m a Mazda fan already, but the red leather accents are really saying something. You can’t go wrong hanging with your squad. That food looks amazing, I need visit HobNob.
First of all, Happy Birthday!!! Love the car! It’s not big enough for my large family, but would be great for my son who is about to get his license soon (eek!)
Looks like you had an awesome time driving around in this car. I have always loved the Mazda brand. We had a Mazda for a long time and it was very reliable.
Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you celebrated in style. The car looks brilliant but a bit big for me. I should hopefully pass my test this summer and I think a smaller car would be better for my first.
This looks like a fabulous ride. Mazda cars are being packed with more and more features! When we’re in the market for a new car, I’ll definitely keep this one in mind.
Happy belated! It looked like you had an amazing birthday and sweet ride. It’s funny my car has a back up camera and I had a rental that didn’t have one a few months ago and everything just felt wrong haha. I was like I have to turn around?!? WHAT? LOL
That’s so awesome that you make time with your friends. It looks like you have a great time too! Over time I’ve really fallen away from my friendships but seeing you here motivated me to get a hold of a few soon!
What a nice looking car! Looks like so much fun. I wish I could have some quality time with my girlfriend who are all back home and I haven’t seen in so many years!
This brunch though!
My friends and I are a bit scattered over the country so we stay connected through GroupMe, outrageous phone calls and overdosing on each other (over food and drinks) for hours when we’re all home together. It’s beautiful.
Glad you had a great time with your friends (and with the car).
Would you believe me if I told you that I have NEVER even been in a Mazda? It looks like a cool car though. I’d drive to that restaurant for the food too!
Happy Birthday!! I took photos of my visit to Mardi Gras for my birthday as well but never posted it. I figured I miss the opportunity since Mardi Gras is over. However, this post has motivated me to post about it anyway.
Happy Belated Birthday Blessings to you! What a fun trip and even more amazing is that it fell on your birthday. The ride looks compact, stylish and ideal for a city trip with limited parking. 🙂
Love the look of this car, I always had sunroofs in my cars and I love them! Our current car is the only one that I haven’t had a sunroof in and I miss it.Love mazda’s they are good looking cars
What a cute car. I love that it has such a compact design, but that it was still made with maximum space for its size.
Happy Belated birthday, it sounds like you celebrated it in style and that Mazda looks gorgeous so jealous. I need to start driving like yesterday
Lately, I’ve just been connecting with my friends via phone or text. I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had time for a non-business outing.
I like the interior of this!!! I’ve never driven a Mazda before, surprisingly, but this looks pretty nice.
LiveLifeWell,

Looks like you had a really fun birthday weekend. Time with the girls is always fun!
What a cute car! I love that it’s smaller. And that brunch – yum! Brunch is my very favorite meal.

The Mazda CX3 looks impressive. It’s spacious, elegant and would a perfect car for a long drive.

It definitely looks like it would be a great car for road trips. It’s such a nice style too.

I LOVE IT! Such a cute yet sporty car. I want one. If I didn’t have 4 little ones to tote around, this would be mine!
That looked like such an awesome time. The Mazda sounds great. My boyfriend has a Mazda and he loves it.
You look so cute in that car! What a fun day to drive around and have fun with friends. I have a few friends who have Mazdas, such a great car!

I love Mazda and it’s cute and compact and doesn’t look like it has a lot of buttons because some of these new cars….lawd hammercy.
I love a girl’s trip and having a new car to ride around in would be perfect! I like that car and how it seemed spacious even though it was smaller!
That’s a cute car. Too small for my needs but I love it as a single ladies car. Looks like the perfect car for you.
Happy belated! It looked like you had an amazing birthday and sweet ride. It’s funny my car has a back up camera and I had a rental that didn’t have one a few months ago and everything just felt wrong haha. I was like I have to turn around?!? WHAT? LOL
Happy late birthday! This looks like the perfect car for cruising around in lots of trunk space.
That’s so awesome that you make time with your friends. It looks like you have a great time too! Over time I’ve really fallen away from my friendships but seeing you here motivated me to get a hold of a few soon!
Wait! This is a car? It looks amazing!!! I thought it was a SUV and looks like you had a fun time.
What a fun celebration. Happy Birthday and that car looks great esp the interiors !
Happy birthday!!! This car looks so luxurious yet practical. I really love the interior but not sure how I feel about the shape of the car.
Very cute car! I love brunch and the food looks so good.
Me and my girl friends would love to go on a roadtrip with this kind of car. It’s cute! Anyway, i love your dress, fits perfectly to your boots.
I recently went to a VW wagon from vans & SUV for 25 years. Took a while to adjust, but loving it now. Especially the 45 mpg. Cute car and fun trip.
That car is gorgeous next to you, seriously cool. Thanks for sharing a review of this mazda. I think it looks like a rockin’ car for sure!
You must have felt like a queen driving around in that car! All of those features had to make you feel secure which is what you want in a new car.
What a fun and great celebration. Love car, so cool and attractive huh! Glad you shared it.
Wow, I’m really liking this car. Well done. And congrats on you birthday
You ladies are too cute. I need some quality time with my girls. Heck, I’d kick in this by myself!
I drive a Mazda and I just love the cars they make. This is such a cool vehicle, I love the red interior!
What a nice looking car! Looks like so much fun. I wish I could have some quality time with my girlfriend who are all back home and I haven’t seen in so many years!
I will have to take the Mazda CX 3 out for a test drive. I have been looking to replace my older car.
This brunch though!
My friends and I are a bit scattered over the country so we stay connected through GroupMe, outrageous phone calls and overdosing on each other (over food and drinks) for hours when we’re all home together. It’s beautiful.
Glad you had a great time with your friends (and with the car).
What a great looking car! It has so much room and so many features!
Oh, this is such a beauty – and all of those features…sigh…maybe one day. And please pass that plate…so amazing.
Seems like a fun car, or you make it so :).
I agree with you about keeping friends.
Would you believe me if I told you that I have NEVER even been in a Mazda? It looks like a cool car though. I’d drive to that restaurant for the food too!
Looks like you had a fabulous time! I have a yoga retreat planned with a friend next month!
I enjoy trips with the girls. They are always fun and relaxing! The 2016 Mazda CX3 seems like a nice car.
Happy Birthday!! I took photos of my visit to Mardi Gras for my birthday as well but never posted it. I figured I miss the opportunity since Mardi Gras is over. However, this post has motivated me to post about it anyway.
Ohhh, I love the interior of that car! The two tone with the pop of red is fierce!
I can tell you had a blast. I actually thought this was an SUV, but it’s a super cute car and definitely perfect for hanging out with gal pals.
Happy Belated Birthday Blessings to you! What a fun trip and even more amazing is that it fell on your birthday. The ride looks compact, stylish and ideal for a city trip with limited parking. 🙂
Suck a cute little car. Looks like you were cruising and having a ball! Love the little sun roof- nice touch.
The Mazda sounds great!! It sounds like you had an amazing birthday and sweet ride.
This is such a cute vehicle! I love how sleek and stylish it is.

Happy belated birthday! I get together with my friends for brunch, coffee, dinner… whatever we can squeeze in.
