If you're looking for the perfect first car, you should check out the Mazda CX-3 'cute-ute'

They're also fairly adorable, wittle smushed-down SUVs that don't resemble that 1990s hatchback, which screamed "college student" or "first job." Hence the cute before ute.
We may be looking at a paradigm shift in the auto industry in the US, as carmakers abandon passengers cars - and small cars in particular, with their skimpy profit margins - and focus on SUVs and crossover. If that's happening, then car companies don't want to lose out on their youngest potential customers. It can be difficult to "conquest," say, a Honda Civic buyer if Honda has perfectly good small SUVs to move them into.
So start them with a cute ute instead!
But which one? Well, that's an easy question to answer. You aren't going to find a better subcompact SUV than the Mazda CX-3.
