Love the car; Hate the shifty Mazda Company

After owning the Mazda30 for 3 years I received a message from Mazda that my "trial period" of connection to its app, which was free when I bought car would end unless I began paying something like $20/month and remote starting would end. I did not sign up. Despite assurances from local dealer that I would still get alerts on the dashboard, like low tire pressure, this did not happen. Pretty chintzy, if you ask me. I also got upsold to numerous add-ons that I've never used.

First of all, I have always liked a spacious station wagon, and was driving a Volvo 850 and Audi A4 Avant in the past. When my A4 broke down, I realized that there were no station wagons available in the market, and ended up buying a Lexus RX350. That car was as spacious as Volvo, but was too big and too tall. I'm a cyclist and have a roof rack, but the roof was too high even for a 6' man. Then, "compact" SUV emerged in the market, which is actually close to a station wagon. At first, I was looking at Crosstrek, and Lexus UX. I know Subaru AWD has a good reputation, but the interior looks so cheap for the price. UX looks sleek, but is very small. Actually, its cargo capacity is as small as Corolla hatchback. Then, I found CX30. It's not as spacious as Audi A4, but is big enough for my family and for four bicycles. The interior looks as good, or even more luxurious than Lexus UX. The cabin is very quiet, and the handling is responsive like a sport car, which is totally different from my previous RX350. What's good about CX30 is its fuel efficiency. It goes 32 mpg non-highway, and 34 mpg highway, as opposed to 20/22 with RX350. It's so fun to drive now. Thank you, Mazda!

Great driving car and features, particularly safety features, without having to buy the Premium.
