UPDATE: At a little over 14,000 mi., my opinion of this vehicle is unchanged. When Car and Driver Magazine rates a vehicle 9.5/10, as it did the CX-30, it is worth a look. I knew of the purported quality of the CX-5. Was set on purchasing a low mileage, used, CX-5 Turbo, until I noticed the CX-30. In the 10 months I have owned the CX-30 Preferred, I have not been disappointed in any regard. I really love this vehicle. I was surprised by the car's performance. The power is very satisfying and the handling fun. It hugs substantial turns without roll. The interior is very, very nice. The blue/black upholstery (w/ white stitching) in my white CX-30 pushes the interior into high quality category. I am 6'2" and 250 lbs, and the seats are very comfortable; plenty of room. No more than two people ever occupy the car, so I keep the back seats folded down. I was really surprised that I fit a full size memory-foam mattress in the back. And, no Nissan continuously variable transmission! Mazda decided to make their own. I have the notion that some designers gave this vehicle a significant amount of consideration.

test drove all 3 a couple weeks ago in ft collins, co. all 3 had the turbo's. very nice especially the cx30 for me and the cx5 for my wife. the cx30 seemed a little faster and rode a little better for me. when you kicked in the turbo on all 3 you had better have a hold on it. nice power when you need it and would personally be disappointed without it. "look ahead "places your speed out in front of you like it is riding above your hood. nice safety touch.

We've had our CX-30 Premium for two months now and it just continues to impress me daily. The safety and convenience features this car has are just incredible. We're coming out of a 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport and let me tell you. There is NO comparison between these two vehicles. Fit and finish, ride quality and cabin quietness is simply unsurpassed in this price category. Well done Mazda!!

Turbo closed the deal for me - smooth acceleration great zip off the line , all the tech and styling / comfort of German luxury but at the Mazda price. the non touch infotainment , for me a big plus, bose stereo great sound. on the ride..perfect balance of grip and smooth , great styling and luxury feel. This one tops the 21 cars i have previously owned.
