Fantastic Drive, Itty Bitty Back Seat

2023 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

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.

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.

We bought our first 2024 CX-30 in January to replace a disappointing 2024 Hyundai Elantra for our around-town car. Our touring car was a 2022 CX-5. After driving the 30 for several months we decided to replace the 5 with another 30. My wife and I are empty-nesters and almost all of our driving is without passangers. We do frequently travel so we purchased the roof cross bars and and Thule cargo box for our golf or skiing gear, depending on the destination. We recommend the Mazda all-season floor mat option as a better alternative to Weathertechs. The Mazda options are much easier to clean. Why the 30 over the 5? We really enjoyed the 5. It was great for towing my motorcycle and had significant cargo room. But I just enjoyed driving the 30 more and more. The 30 is quieter - less road noise, less wind noise. Entry and exit is just as easy as the 5 and at 79, that's really important. The interior is awesome for its class - lots of soft materials and no plastic squeaks. Visibility is excellent and there is a long list of safety features. The ride is superb and strikes a perfect balance between sporty and posh. It's simply both fun and comfortable to drive - a rare combination at the price point. Transmission gearing is excellent and the power train allows solid acceleration from stop lights. We live north of Syracuse and really appreciate the AWD given 5 months of potentially serious snow. My wife and I use the same front seat settings so we opted to forego power seats and save $$. Good for us but otherwise recommended. In 59 years of marriage we have purchased over 35 new cars for ourselves, children and soon, coming of age grandchildren. Among those, our first Mazda was the GLC (Great Little Car), the predecessor to the Mazda 3. We have had 2 Mazda 3s, 3 Mazda 5s, 1 Mazda CX-5 and now, 2 Mazda CX-30s. Every one has been trouble free. While we started with a GLC, now we have two GLSUVs.

Mazda not Hyundai

My lease was coming due on my Hyundai Elantra. I was looking at the Hyundai Kona. The dealership also sold Mazda. I ended up with the Mazda CX-30. Both vechicle packages were in the 30 K range. Hyundai was front wheel drive while the Mazda was AWD. Also the Mazda interior was much nicer and more comfortable. Mazda had leatherette seats, the Hyundai cloth. Madza had power seats, the Hyundai did not. The Hyundai motor was 146 hp. and the Mazda 192 hp. The Hyundai had 17 inch tires and the Mazda 18 inch tires. I will state that the center knob to control the gadgets is a learning curve. Also, no heated mirrors on the Mazda is a bummer. Over all, the control of the road and ride was very good.

Cute ride but not for me

Purchased 2023 CX-30 GT turbo November 2022 and picked up January 10th 2023 Pros • It's a cute compact SUV with great handling and nice power. • Decent options for the price. Impressive package • Sharp looking • Great sound system • It handles well on curves and has nice acceleration. Cons • It is not for taller people. We are 5'10 and 6'5. • Cabin noise when driving • Key fob is not conducive to people who need glasses. You can't read the icons on the side. • No start button on key fob • Instrument scene/pan is non touch and I'm not a fan of the mouse pad on the centre console to manipulate your instrument panel. • Does not drive well in the snow with over 3 to 5 inches of accumulation. It hydroplanes even with AWD and decent snow tires. Too light. I thought of adding sand bags to the cargo area. • Poor location for cup holder in front. Tall cups don't fit in this awkward location • Blind spots in back while driving After driving through 2 decent snow storms in Baltimore, Ontario, Canada in the last 2 weeks, I decided this car is not for me. I have never had issues driving in snow of any accumulation until I drove this car. It's the first time, I actually felt nervous and not safe on my way to work. I'm 58 and a decent, confident and very capable female driver. I bought the Turbo with Awd which met my needs and expectations but not for living in the country in Canadian weather. I have now traded my Mazda CX30 for a new Jeep Cherokee on March 16th, 2023.
