2024 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Select Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Purchased brand new a little over two weeks ago. It’s comfortable, quiet, responsive and fuel efficient. I got the non-turbo due to better reliability. Impressed that I was able to get 40 mpg on a highway drive. Looking forward to keeping this for a long time.

Nice but prefer my 2018 CX-5

Had to leave my 2018 CX-5 at the dealer for service so they loaned me a CX-30 Carbon which was great because I've been wanting to check it out. Sits lower than the CX-5 so easy for myself and my wife to get in. Stylus interior like most Mazdas. Handles really well. Good sound system and wireless Android Auto is great plus wireless charging. Not crazy about the tiny rear window and rear view mirror. Mirror also sits really close to roof of car so I don't think I can fit my over-the-mirror dash cam unit on it. Not too crazy but the long but short console screen that seems pretty far from the driving position. When I put the car in the reverse, the rear view camera screen seems really small and hard to make out objects, Would prefer something more squarish like on my 2018 CX-5 or what I've seen on other cars. The non-turbo 4 doesn't shift smoothly and quite often is hunting for gears and once it gets there, the car will jolt forward. One time it caused the head rest to hit the back of my head pretty hard. My non-turbo CX-5 never did that. My last loaner was a Turbo Mazda 3 and that engine is awesome. No perceptible turbo lag and power to spare. Will probably opt for a Turbo CX-5 for my next car. Overall I like driving my 2018 CX-5 a lot better. The really big blind spot of the CX-30 is a deal breaker for me.

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.

SEATS TOO NARROW AND NO 12 VOLT OUTLET

Looks much better than it is. Very disappointed with narrow seats and the cherry on top is that it has no 12 Volt outlet. They even removed the wiring from the harness so that you cannot easily add one. I would like to meet the idiot who thought this was a good idea and the subsequent idiots who agreed with him or her.

CX-30 Just Right For Me

A lot of pep for a naturally aspirated engine. This car exceeds my expectations as far as performance. Interior materials and finish is much better the other manufacturers that I shopped for. Electronic. The ride and handling is very good . Fuel economy is great and is one of the reasons I chose this car
