2024 Mazda CX-30 Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Disappointed...
Recently, I switched from a 2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus to a 2024 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus. Beautiful car in and out. Infotainment screen is MUCH better than the old one: bigger and clearer. Wireless Android avto and Car play is great convenience l. And touch screen for Android Auto is long wished! Driving is great! Highly recommend!

Great style, bad fit
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.

Best deal out there in its segment
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.

Loaded with Safety Features
I love driving my 2023 Mazda CX-30. I feel much safer because of all the extra safety features like the blind spot warning lights on the side mirrors and in the images in the hologram on the windshield. And if I miss those, the moment I turn on my turn signal, there’s a chime if someone is too close to me. The information in the hologram in the windshield is very helpful because it shows the speed limit, my speed and notice of a stop sign ahead in addition to the symbols showing that someone is in my blind spot. If I use the internal navigation of the car, the turn by turn information is shown in the hologram as well. The hologram is not distracting because you can see through it. It is safer because you don’t have to take your eyes off the road to gather that information. The rear back up camera is great with a wide view and good sensors to alert me when a car or pedestrian is crossing my path. My only disappointment is that the engine takes more time to get up to speed from a stop. It’s just not that powerful, but once I reach cruising speed, it maintains it easily.

Fantastic Sports Car
Four years ago my sister finally gave up on a Mini and decided to be a bit more practical. After researching the sub compact class, I came up with a CX30 select. She paid $24,500 for the car and used it for 36,000 miles without incident. She recently retired and we decided to celebrate with a new car. Back to the Mini dealership. Unfortunately, they have not yet released the four door S and the folks at the dealership turned her off. I suggested that she might stick with a CX30 but go for the top of the line, Turbo Premium Plus. We purchased the car at Southern Palm Mazda who did a fantastic job at providing an up front price and who allowed us $17,500 for the four year old trade in. That represented over 70% of the original cost. Worried that we would have to take I95 back to Port Saint Lucie, my sister asked if I could drive it home. I could not have been more surprised. This car reminded me of days gone by when I had had an NSX and a 944 Tubo S. It really one give up about .2 seconds to those rides and was more comfortable to drive. There are many ways to look at the neat little vehicle. As a practical matter of space, it probably is a distant third. But as a fun to drive sports car with a ton of space, it gets an A++. Half way home, I convinced my sister that the car practically drives itself and she took over and has been thrilled ever since. I guess it all depends on how you look at it.
