Problem with seats

2021 Mazda CX-30 2.5 Turbo 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Bought my Mazda Cx 30 Turbo 1 year ago. Love the look and drive. At 8000 took it in noticed some bunching under leather on driver seat. They said they would check again next service. Now at 15,000 there is more noticeable creases and what appears to be the inside under leather bunching up, plus now my center console is rubbing against the side of my seat when I open console. Dealer sent pictures to Mazda, but they not wanting to do anything at this point. My concern is what the side of my seat will look like after the console rubbing, and the look of wear already on the seat. After this low of km this is a concern of quality they put into their seats.

Sporty Sub-Compact SUV

After selling my 2006 Tacoma and trading my 2018 F-150, both at top dollar, I bought two Mazda CX-30's for me and my spouse at Jim Click Mazda Tucson. The buying process from start to finish took about 2 hours total. Rene, a 23-year sales veteran at this dealership was polite, easy to work with and took care of us out the door. I have only had my CX-30's two weeks, but I have really enjoyed the drive and use of this small, but zippy vehicle on Tucson streets. Its 186 hp engine delivers fast acceleration and easy handling. I enjoy loading and unloading groceries in the back and both vehicles easily fit in my garage. The heated seats quickly make chilly mornings comfy. I'm 5 ft. 8 in. and the driver's seat fits me like a glove. Free oil changes for life is a convenient inducement for me to want to take my CX-30 back to the dealer as needed every 6 months. I am excited about owning and driving this AWD SUV and I am looking forward to an LTR with my Mazda.

Good Vehicle But Lacking Some Basics

I would have given 5 stars as the dealership (112) Mazda in Medford, New York)and Joe Caggiano (salesman) were exceptional....My complaint is with Mazda and the CX-30 appointments....I leased the CX-30 Premium model (the highest package until you get to the 2.5 premium plus) and was shocked to find that although the car had gadgets like heads-up display and adaptive cruise control (they call it Mazda radar assist with stop and go) it lacked certain “basics” that have been in every vehicle I have owned over the last 20 years like Auto dimming rear view mirror (I haven’t had a car with the manual rear view mirror since the 80’s), home link (ditto) and what they call front and rear parking assist (a warning when you get too close to objects when parking)....I admit that I didn’t ask but since these things have come in every vehicle I’ve owned for the last twenty years I never thought about it....Again, I am not complaining about the dealership and sales team but definitely about the appointments on the vehicle.... Wake up Mazda and come all the way into the 21st century....Just a warning to check every detail in a new Mazda and to not take anything for granted...

I want to first state that my daily driver is a 2019 Audi A6 and this car was purchased was purchased for my wife. This Car handles better than anything in its class and punches way above. I looked at forester, Crosstrek along with Hyundai and the cx-5 but then took this out. Yes it is on the small side but it is solid, fit and finish is up there with germans. Really very little to complain about except lane assist not as good as Audi and gas mileage could better. No matter what are you thinking of do your self a favor and look at this. This is not a large vehicle I am 5'10 and have plenty of room but if you are over 6' and stocky this will most likely be too small for you.
