For a refreshing change of pace in our tally of the week’s most popular car reviews, try the refreshed 2019 Mazda CX-3, which takes over the top spot from the perennially popular Jeep Wrangler. Though the CX-3 has charted before, this is the first time it ascends to the top of the order.

It hasn’t taken long to climb that order, either. Published Aug. 31, reviewer Fred Meier — a fan of the CX-3 — notes that it “stands out for its looks, interior quality, sporty driving, safety tech and good gas mileage” despite some shortcomings with cargo hauling, fitting child seats and adverse winter weather.

There’s also a new leader on the video side of things.

And what’s more, that’s the only video from last week’s top five to return.
