Sweet Ride
The CX 30 Turbo Premium Plus we bought this week replaces a 2016 ILX we traded in. We love the ride, zippiness and responsiveness of the car. The tech takes some getting used to and doesn't always seem intuitive, but isn't that usually the case with new technology? We paid extra for the white color, which really blings with the black accents. Also added all weather mats and cargo tray with net.

Just right amount of practical and fun
Bought the car end of 4 months ago. Turbo premium trim. Turbo packs a punch and it has been a blast to drive. Test drove a slew of luxury and regular car brands and when I fired up the turbo premium I knew it was the right car. Wanted something smaller that could still haul some stuff. Drove 228i, civic si, accord, Lexus IS, Volvo s60. Mazda hit the mark on luxury feel with regular car pricing. And no insane maintenance costs (hello bmw/volvo). Great handling. All the safety tech. Bose stereo sounds great. Getting 26-29mpg depending on city or highway. Folding the back seats down to haul stuff (fit a 65 inch tv unboxed and laid down in the back, on another trip filled it with countless bags of potting soil). Only complaints. Road/wind noise from door seals on highways. Cx5 has more substantial and staggered seals. Cx30 just has one seal and it isn’t cutting it. For how nice everything else is on the car thought this would get more attention. Beyond that, 0 complaints and would buy again.

Impressive
I test drove the Preferred and Select models in April 2025. Love the unique exterior look of the CX 30. The interior is upscale as well. Driving it has a sporty feel and you definitely feel the road underneath. Fun to drive for sure. What surprised me was the interior room in the car. After reading expert reviews, I had the impression the interior was very tight and somewhat claustrophobic. I am 5'10" and weigh 162 lbs. Contrary to some of the reviews I found the front seats comfortable and rear seating quite adequate for me, and this is after adjusting the front seats to where I would be sitting. I had probably 3 to 4 inches of space before my knees would touch the back of the front seats. Some negatives: Front seats are a bit stiff and the car is a bit noisy until it transmission finds the right gear. But the car has plenty of pep. Also, my low back hurt somewhat even with the car's lumbar support. I would use a seat cushion for more support if I couldn't adjust the lumbar support to my liking. Overall, I really like this car and the price is quite reasonable. It's on the top of my list when I will be buying a vehicle in the next few months. (To clarify, I test drove the non-turbo models and that's what I would buy.)

CX-30
I liked all the extras this model offered. It was a cute car - easy to drive and maneuver. It was peppy enough and I probably would have offered, but the driver seat was very uncomfortable, and this was only after the 20 min. It also had a lot of blind spots that I was not comfortable with.
