Great little car, except for plastic molding

Had had the car for a month. Select trim. Gas mileage better than advertised. Had problems with the transmission search for best gear but that settled down. Stiff ride, but problems is with the Bridgestone tires based on reviews I've read. I don't like all the exterior plastic molding and the gap between tires and wheel well, so am going to install a shorter spring set (1.5" shorter) like Mazda use in the UK version of the CX30.

Ok, I’ve had a 2020 CX-30 for a week now as a courtesy car. It’s beautiful to look at, the interior and exterior alike. It’s quick and fun to drive....BUT.... I’m glad I don’t own it because I would have such buyer’s remorse that I would wrap it around a tree or drive it into a lake. This is the most obnoxious vehicle I’ve ever dealt with. From the lane keep assist that knocks me back on the road and makes me feel like I’m not in control, to the most irritating “no seat belt” chime in existence. The radar cruise control that will viciously slam on the brakes on the interstate if someone cuts in front of me to catch an exit. The doors that lock here, lock there, press the keyfob, no press the button, whoops the hatch won’t open back to the door to press the button AHHH! The “easy” gas door that requires a series of events, choreographed dance moves and holding my mouth just right to get open. The Sirius XM weather warnings that pop up right as I’m looking at navigation to figure out which of these three exits right next to each other I need to take “POP UP HURRICANE STATEMENT!” Whoops! Wrong turn! The auto-lights that randomly turn the brights on and off constantly. Yeah, I hate this car. I’ve spent the last week changing and reconfiguring settings, some things simply aren’t fixable. My 2015 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring is much more user friendly, much less “dummy proof” and more customizable than this CX-30. What a big step backwards. Take my advice, if you want one of these, get it without all of these idiotic “safety features”. Some things, like the doors, aren’t fixable. But having my car slamming on the brakes or violently yanking my steering wheel is completely ridiculous. If these “safety features” were any “safer” there would be cars out here murdering people on purpose.

Love my Mazda

Love it! The controls are simply laid out with push buttons and knobs, so you don’t have to fumble around with a screen. Trying to punch little boxes on a screen while trying to drive and change the settings to different functions on a screen is dangerous. Love the backup camera, bose music system, heated seats.
