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.

Great style, bad fit

I have had my 2023 car for over 2 years. 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 passenger 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 I don't 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-liter engine and regular transmission are hard to find. That is why I decided to buy it. I love the build and quality and do not know what other brand (affordable) I would buy to replace my current vehicle.

My review is for the 2023 base model that I have had for almost a year. It’s the best 23k I have ever spent. Plenty of power and a hoot to drive. Fantastic on corners. Clean aesthetics. Downsides are the smaller cargo space and tighter rear seating, but that is not a problem for me. But the small gas tank is annoying. Still, would not think twice about buying this car again.

I had a 2021 CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus. The 2023 CX-30 Premium is plenty zippy with far better gas mileage: 31.2 vs 25.2 overall. Some of the features of the Turbo Premium Plus were nice, such as 360 mirror, rear crash prevention, auto dimming rear view mirror, and Home Link, but I don't miss them. I'm getting 340 miles on a tank of gas compared to 290 with the turbo.
