Love this new Mazda. Great fuel efficiency, good power and very quiet. I have heard that the back seats don't have enough room, but actually it is enough room. The select trim has everything you need and a little luxury.

Was between the CX30, Hyundai Kona and Subaru Crosstrek. Did a bunch of research online and was leaning towards the CX30 but once I did a test drive there was no doubt. Well styled, ergonomic interior, quiet, amazing sound system and more than enough power to get me where I want to go. Have had my Premium CX30 for nearly two weeks and each drive makes me love it more.

I was considering a kia seltos, hyundai kona, honda hrv etc... Found out about the mazda cx30. After test driving I knew it was the right car. Tons of safety features, comfortable leather memory seats, good mpg, awd, sunroof, xm radio, wifi, bose stereo, head up display and enough room for my needs. Very luxurious for the price. I would definitely recommend.

I have owned 3 RX-7's and an MX-6 over the years so I can't say this CX-30 surprised me at how great of a little vehicle it is. They were among the very best cars I've ever owned. Fun to drive,never boring,totally reliable and all were great looking inside and out. This 2020 CX-30 that I've had for a little over two months is exceptional. I've not enjoyed driving this much in a long while! It is in my opinion,a luxury rally car. Refined handling,quiet,responsive engine matched with a very good(non CVT) transmission,most comfortable driving position and seating,every control seems to be in the perfect spot. I simply can't find anything to dislike. I traded in a very nice Audi A4 on this Mazda and it was a very good car for me but I can honestly say I have not missed it one bit.If you are considering this vehicle make sure to give it a good look. In my opinion it's on par with any small premium crossover (BMW,Audi,Volvo)out there and will save you a ton of money while providing the same amount of quality and MORE fun driving! If Mazda starts making a turbo 6speed option available...they will have to start building a new factory to keep up with the demand. Update.....it's now 8 plus months and this CX 30 has only gotten better! The mpg has improved with engine break in and now avg. 30 mpg. We had lots of snow and ice this winter in Pgh. Pa. and this little crossover was a beast on ice and snow on the hills of western Pa.. In fact,it actually felt a little more sure footed than my old Audi quatro..and that is saying a lot. I'll just leave it at if you don't need a huge suv you would be very wise to give this vehicle a good look. Update: It is now Sept.14,2023 and I have enjoyed every mile in the 3 plus years of ownership of this CX30. It simply doesn't give me any reason to dislike or complain about it. The ONLY thing I have found to nitpick is in order to store my golf bag,I need to flip down one of the back seats. That is it! Totally reliable,no issues,excellent gas mileage(getting better with more miles driven) and the handling on twisting roads is something to experience. If you are looking for a small suv/crossover that punches way above its weight class check out a CX 30! March 18,2024...this little Mazda is still a great vehicle. Runs like an Invicta watch(looks like a high end very expensive watch but priced so all can enjoy it!). Buy one and you will not be sorry.

Great Compact SUV (CUV)- Very Upscale!!!

What shopping for a smaller CUV that my wife could use like a small stain wagon. Looked at ALL of the competitors VW Tiguan- too expensive, Honda CR-V and HRV- CVT transmission killed the deal CRV was okay otherwise. Hyundai Tuscon, more expensive and cheap looking inside. Power of the recipe was nice however. Went to a local Mazda dealer looking at the CX-3. Okay car, but felt a little underpowered and small. Ask about the CX-30 expecting a much higher price, leased the CX-30 for 20 less a month than the CX-3. Drive like a sorry little semi-luxury vehicle. Feel in love with the looks of the exterior and the class of the interior. Was a no brainier. Leased on the spot and haven't looked back. Highly recommended!
