2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful
Frame of reference: I just traded in my 2006 RAV4 Ltd, so I’ve been living in the “model T” days for quite awhile. I looked at KIA and Hyundai, as well as Subaru. What’s not to like about the CX-30, seriously? It’s stylish, well appointed, had all the relevant safety features, and is as fast as you want to drive it. I’m ok with the lack of leg room in the backseat, as my kids are all out on their own. I have no issues using the Infotainment system, and the Bose sound system is more than adequate for my purposes. Runs on regular or premium gas, and when using regular there is no appreciable drop off in performance. My only gripe is in regards the OEM tires. They’re not up to any kind of winter driving. The dealership should have ordered them with “all weathers” for our region. That said, I’m very happy behind the wheel of the car, and I haven’t been able to say that since before the kids came on the scene.

Fun crossover that turns heads

I have the 2021 2.5 S AWD edition that has the blue accents in the car. The accents are what help make the car. I love that it gets around the same gas mileage as my previous car (2016 Kia Optima) but it sits up higher off of the ground and it has AWD. There is a little less room in the back seat vs the Optima though. The headlights on this thing are super bright and do not impact my astigmatism (this was one of my concerns). I like that I am higher off of the ground - I feel as though I am seen easier by other drivers. I have had so many compliments and people asking me what kind of car that it is. The car handles curves and hills really well - my husband drives dirt track cars and has tested this lol. Cons: Back seat is a little tight - I am 5'5" so my seat is not that far back and my son who is in a booster seat still has room but not as much as an Optima. Bluetooth settings will change on you - i.e. I like to have mine set on calls and audio - every now and again they will change to just calls. The gas tank - there is only around a 10 gallon tank on this car so I am having to stop and fuel up more often even though my gas mileage is still about the same.

2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful
This SUV is, by far, one of the most engaging, fun to drive vehicles I’ve ever owned. The body styling and interior design are exquisite. The turbo engine delivers very impressive power and it’s quite comfortable in the front seats on trips. I e driven many SUVs as a part of my job, and this is at or near the top in handling, acceleration, road feel, and sheer driving excitement. The biggest downside I’ve experienced is with the dealership in my hometown. This dealership has a service manager who defaults to, “Oh, they all do that,” and “There’s nothing we can do about that,” whenever I bring it in for warranty work. I belong to several online CX-30 enthusiast groups, and I’ll say that Mazda’s dealerships are a mixed bag. Some are very happy with their service, while many others, like me, get no results and the runaround. The next closest Mazda dealer is nearly 200 miles away, so just popping into another dealership isn’t a viable alternative for me. The last problem I had resulted in me involving a Mazda corporate mediation specialist who stepped in and had my car shipped via transport to a dealership near Seattle just to fix the faulty valve seal issue. I shouldn’t have to do this, but as long as the Mazda corporation allows service managers like the one in Spokane to operate unimpeded, I’d definitely not recommend that anyone who will be living in the Spokane area to buy a Mazda. You’ll be furious with the dealership in no time. I love the car, but hate the dealership experience. If you do purchase a Mazda, do your homework on the dealership. Get a good one and your experience will probably be wonderful. If you don’t select a good dealership, don’t say you weren’t warned.
