Penny for your thoughts? Considering trading CX-5 for new Mazda3

The 3 is much smaller inside. I can comfortably sit behind myself in the CX-5 (I'm 6'2"), but my knees were stuck in the seat back of the 3 when I tried this. If you don't need the interior space, I found the 3 to be a much better driver's car. I hope they will make a Mazdaspeed version of it.
 
i don't know your personal financial situation, but IMO it's an awful idea. If there was a serious problem with the CX-5, either mechanically or in terms of what you need from a car, then I could see why you would do it, but it sounds like you now just find the 3 more appealing. To that I say - that's life. The grass is always greener. Sounds like a serious waste of money, but as others have said, to each his own.
