I am wanting to but a new Mazda CX-3 and would like the AWD version but as is common with many makers now it only comes as top spec sport nav (many extras I neither need nor want). I need a car that can get me to work on Dartmoor in all weathers but is also fun to drive. I wonder if it would be better to go for the 2wd model with winter tyres which would be a cheaper option ? Also, how much more ground clearance is there on the CX-3 over an average car - I ask as I am aware it is less than the CX-5 which I also looked at but ruled out as it is too big for my needs.
