I Wanted to Love It
I bought a CX-30 last summer after test driving the BMW X-1, Volvo XC40, Audi Q3, and Lincoln Corsair. It was loaded with the Premium Package and a lot of car and features for the money, cost about 35% less than the comparably equipped other vehicles. Here were my major likes and dislikes after owning it for 6 months: +) Classy looking interior with a luxury look. Clean, uncluttered instrumentation and controls. +) Good handling and steering. Close 2nd to the BMW. +) I found the infotainment/navigation control knob easy to use while driving. - ) Engine was adequate but unsatisfying. 6 speed automatic was well executed but it could have used another gear of two. - ) Build quality was good but it became evident that there was lots of cost cutting in the parts and how little things worked versus the luxury competitors. - ) Metallic white paint looked a bit yellowish on the nose/front bumper versus the body. - ) Electrical problems. Battery died/car would not start three different times after sitting for 15-20 minutes with accessory power on listening to radio while I are a sandwich. Dealer insisted there was not a problem with the battery or electrical system and inferred it was how I used the car. Never had a similar issue is any other car we owned. I ended up trading out of it after 6 months for a 2021 Mercedes GLA-250, which wasn't out when I initially shopped or it would have been my hands down choice from the start. Got a great trade in price for the CX-30, Now I can eat a sandwich in my car and listen to the radio without fear of being stranded.

Sold on Soul Red
Just purchased a 2020 CX-30 and took advantage of the 0% financing. My wife will be the primary driver and she loves the sleek appearance, agile handling and the Soul Red color. Her coworkers keep asking to look at the car ! I had been researching this model for quite some time and am familiar with both the engine and Mazda since we also own a 2016 CX-5 with which we are very satisfied. The interior of the CX-30 is very tastefully done and out rivals anything in its class. Don't understand Edmunds thinking that fuel mileage is just average as our CX-5 has delivered impressive mileage over time using the same engine in a slightly larger car. Just keep the tires properly inflated.

Luxury design with top notch safety
First time Mazda buyer and user. Not disappointed at all. I chose Premium CX-30, car comes with all features. Beautiful design in and out. Many safety functions keep you alert while driving. 186 horsepower is the advantage plus 12 Bose speakers! Only a little slow accelerated from stop that I noticed some time but not a big deal. Overall is great and very happy with a new car.

Defective workmanship
Both heat and A/C had serious defective workmanship issues out the door. Now there are 2 recalls (not even 1 year old), a serious potential gas tank leak and a serious potential brake failure over a bolt. Mazda corporate is not responding to my requests for compensation.
