Great car, terrible service and support
I wanted this care for years and finally decided to make it my first brand new car 1 year ago. Since then, I've put 10,000 miles on it. While I love the car itself when it's functioning, it has never been what they sold me because it's always broken and, even though it has an extended warranty and an additional coverage plan, which I paid an extra $5k for, the dealerships' service centers are always booked months out and, if it ever does get fixed, it quickly develops new issues. If Mazda made service and support accessible, this would be a vastly different review. I'm not opposed to working on my own vehicle or having a different shop do it, but that shouldn't be necessary when a warranty and additional coverage plan is in place and 'supported' by a major brand like Mazda. It's incredibly disheartening that I can't have work that should be covered by the warranty done elsewhere when their service centers are unavailable. Truly, it breaks my heart to write this, and I'm very sad to be having this experience with a brand and vehicle I have held a lot of respect and admiration for for a sizeable portion of my life, especially when said experience was set to cost me $45k out of the gate, and is on its way to blowing that number out of the water.

Great vehicle!
I love the way this vehicle rides. Smooth, drive and great suspension. All the extras are nice on the Premium version.

Reliable great handling CUV and efficient!
I purchased my CX-30 GS at beginning of the year. What a fun great handling vehicle. The only complaint I had was the dealership delivering my vehicle with slightly overinflated tires which initially made the ride harder than it needed to be. Easy fix as I brought the pressures down from 40psi down to the manufacturer’s recommended level of 36psi.

Great value for the price
The professional reviews I read stated that the models above the Select were not worth the extra money. What's missing on the Select that I would have liked are a Power Lift Gate and a Seat Heater. I do not need or like a sun roof because I never use it and it may decrease the headroom.
Second time wasn't the charm
I ditched my oil burning, issue riddled 2021 CX30 GT Turbo for a 2024 Cx30 GT Turbo in hopes that Mazda would have worked out some of the new models growing pains by now. I was definitely mistaken. Firstly, mazda vert quietly REMOVED the accessory socket in the Canadian models. Why? Your guess is as good as mine, and a wasted expense on a dash cam that I can't use any longer unless i buy some sort of wiring harness to directly wire the power into my vehicle. That's a huge misstep Mazda. So far, 2 months in and 5800km on the ODO I've yet to have a fuel burning issue. Fingers crossed but my hope is dashed. In my 2021 i had an issue where the advanced keyless entry wouldn't unlock when placing your hand inside the door handle when the vehicle was wet. That's something they fixed but my 2024 also suspiciously has a similar issue with the door handle sporadically not unlocking when I stuff my hand in there like it should. Most of the time it's fine tho... I'm finding randomly without warning when I start the car, if it's on XM radio everything will turn on but no sound. No, not on mute. Trying to adjust the volume yields no result, trying to change the channel - same thing. I have to switch to FM radio and then back to XM to hear anything. My dealership already reset something but it is doing it again since. *sigh* There's an annoying brake squeak that no one can figure out where it's coming from. On delivery the interior trim panels on the pillar between the 1st and second row had white lines on them in the plastic as well as a wave pattern in the plastic as a result from the way they're molded. Mazda replaced them and although not as noticeable, both issues are still there and I'm incredibly disappointed. Spending this much money for this vehicle and it looks like Mazda's build quality is quickly lowering its standards to match that of Tesla. The vehicle still handles wonderfully and is amazingly fun to drive but Mazda is dropping the ball. Big time. Whoever said second time is the charm is an absolute liar. I also never received any survey from Mazda on this purchase experience either. I guess I complained so much about my 2021 that they added me to the blacklist lol. Anyways, Mazda needs to seriously slow the heck down and improve the small quality aspects of the vehicle. You're trying to be an upscale quasi-luxury brand? Well, the proof is in the pudding and unfortunately the package I bought turned out pretty damn lumpy.
