My favorite car off all time
I am 72 years old and I have owned a lot of cars over the years. I have had a total of 3 Lexus, Nissan Murano, and Hyundai Tuscon most recently. None of them come close to my new CS 30 Turbo. For me, it is perfect with just a few things missing, like a power passenger seat, ventilated seats, and lane assist. UPDATE: I am a car guy and when I was putting 40-50K. miles a year I tended to trade in before the odometer hit triple digits, That means at least every 2 years for 30 years. I love the CX turbo. I like the fact that it has few "nanny" features. e.g. I hated the 2022 Hyundai Tuscon. It was over-engineered. The Mazda is one of few cars left that do require touch screen confusion to operate the radio or HVAC. I strongly believe touch screens are a dangerous distraction causing the drive to take eyes of the road while operating The CX-30 fits my needs. Tight turning circle, turbo power for pulling out onto traffic, and just enough room for everyday errands. Given this might not be big enough for some, especially for families, it perfectly fits my need fo.r fun transportation with the perfect blend of utility. I love it Update: 10/8/24 Still the best I've ever owned. Sure there are some ergonomic tweeks I would like to see in the new modern: Just recently noticed the front directional signals are down in the bumber. Why? That is a dumb idea. There should be more storage in the front, such as pockets on the side of the center counsel. But I still would buy it again and I haven't seen anything else I would choose over the CX 30 turbo.

MORK & MINDY
2023 CX-30 Carbon Edition. Best little 4dr/4passenger sports car. Only 300 miles so far but thoroughly impressed with quiet ride, responsive handling, attention to details. The infotainment system will take a bit to get accustomed to but worth it. Only thing not happy with but understand is the A/C shutting down under throttling up to pass. Overall for the price the quality far exceeds the cost. $30705.00 for a car that is worth far more one cannot go wrong. ZOOM ZOOM & NANU NANU!😁😁 UPDATE: We purchased this in August 2023. We were impressed from the first glance of how well it was put together. The interior in our Carbon Edition is not only equivalent to, but even better than much higher priced vehicles. It is responsive, nimble, and comfortable. Engine & transmission are well matched. I do use the sport mode for in town driving and save the regular drive mode for hwy driving. Still getting used to the infotainment system, but everything new takes time. On the moose scale of 1-10 it gets a solid 9.8. Nothing gets a perfect 10, but a 0.2 deduction will just make Mazda work a tad harder. It is not a subcompact SUV for basketball players or linemen. There is your deduction. Otherwise seriously recommend this vehicle for a sports car enthusiast who just needs a little extra space. It's a Miata with 4drs and a hatch.

Nice mid-level SUV with some surprises...
Mazda found a great balance in cost by prioritizing features that customers care about and cutting costs on less 'important' things. Yes, the tires could be better, the infotainment could be more comprehensive, and engine cal could be smoother, but this vehicle legitimately competes with vehicles $15K more, and will appeal to those who want an AWD with a beautiful and quiet interior that promises to be as reliable as other Mazda products and possibly more reliable than a lot of the competition.

Fantastic Drive, Itty Bitty Back Seat
Pros: The car drives and handles amazing. I drove two others cars in this class (The Subaru Crosstrek and the Honda HRV) and the Mada CX-30 blew them away. Fantastic acceleration and handling. The interior (Premium leather) was sleek and minimalist, which made the view through the windshield less obstructed or distracting. Cons: The storage, particularly compared to others in its class, leaves a lot to be desired. I am 5;10", and once I position the driver seat there was next to no space in the back seat. As a test, my 5'10" fiancee tried to sit behind me and was only able to fit with her legs pressed firmly against the driver seat. This proved to be the deal breaker in an otherwise fantastic automobile.

2023 Mazda CX-30--Excellent Vehicle
It's an excellent vehicle for the price and I am currently averaging 29 MPG in mostly city driving. The interior is made of top notch materials and feels very "Premium." I love the AWD, all the safety features, heads up display, interior and the way it drives. I have absolutely no cons with my Soul Red CX-30.
