Too much plastic on new Cx-30 , 07/29/2023
2023 Mazda CX-30 Select 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
16 of 34 people found this review helpful
When dealership delivered it to my house, new 2023 Cx-30 S SELECT AWD 2.5l DOHC 16V 4 cyl leatherette int 18" wheels. Manufactured with more plastic parts. Plastic exterior wheel well trim. Plastic interior door panels feel cheap. Center console cup holders in the worst location, up almost under the dash. Rear cargo deck lid made of weak flimsy pegboard material that will sag with any weight on it. Motor is weak and sluggish especially from a stopped position. Less than 90 miles and wish I didn't pay cash for it and could return it. But I'm "old school" and Nothing is made like it used to be!
Nice SUV

I was given this as a loaner for a few days while my car was in the shop. I also have a 2011 Rav4 which makes a good comparison. I will agree that the seats are quite comfortable, much better than the Rav. There were many safety features built in and the backup camera worked well. You need the camera because of the blind spots. The ride was very smooth, but the steering and acceleration sluggish. This would be great on long trips, but trips around town were quite boring. It is not a "fun" car. It's only a cruiser despite it's good looks. The other issue I had was the touch screen. It had a lag time on many tasks, especially when using the manual controls. My loaner only had the standard stereo and it was quirky. The other controls for the climate control were also a little odd. I put on the defroster and the unit cranked up the intensity beyond what was needed. I turned off the defroster and it still was blowing air insanely. I had to manually turn it down even though I hadn't turned it up. The steering wheel controls weren't the most user friends so I had to reach to the unit to do all this. So, overall it was "meh". I'd take the handling and acceleration of my 13 year old Rav4 any day over this Mazda.

I have had my 2023 car for over a year and I continue to notice flaws in the design: front side door too high for ATM use, blind spots on back sides due to protruded rear body style, no room in back seat for comfortable seating, not enough headroom for the driver (I am 5'2"), should have tinted top of windshield since visors are too short to block sun, and don't really trust the rear camera. Things I love: great tires, great drive, responsive engine, well-built body and classy interior (I have Carbon Edition). If the car was 4" longer, higher and wider, it would be more acceptable for me. The 2.5 ltr. engine and regular transmission are hard to find. That is why I bought it.

Mazda CX30 is a fun, spiffy car to drive. Smooth riding, great pick up, and loaded with technology and safety features.
