Love the Mazda

Ramwerks, 03/16/2024
2024 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Purchased my Mazda after driving a Ford F-150 for 5 years, the Yin and Yang of vehicles. The truck was fantastic. I was looking for the following in a new car, in no particular order: - Reliability; want to keep the car for 10 -15 years. - All Wheel Drive: live in the mountains so this is a must have. - Good gas mileage. - A real transmission; no CVT, see reliability above. - Fun to … drive, dare I say Sporty. - Quiet when going down the road. - Comfortable front seat. - Great stereo. - Nice interior. - An SUV, it is easier to get into and out of the higher ride height of an SUV. - Wealth of Driver aids. - Affordable; got a great price with 0% financing. My kids are grown and the vast majority of the time it is just me in the car. Occasionally it is my wife and I in the car. So, the smaller rear seat area is non-issue. It took me two years of research, reading reviews, a few test drives and 0% financing to get me to finally decide on the 2024 Mazda CX-30, S Premium. As much as I wanted the Turbo the increased cost, slightly lower fuel mileage, and potential for longer term increase in repair costs pointed to the non-turbo car. So far, after a whopping 1,500 miles, I love the car. It is everything I had hoped for and expected. The gas mileage is about 34 mpg in mostly highway driving of 75 miles per hour. It rides superbly, love the heavily weighted steering, it is sporty and fun to drive (for me it is a much better driving car than my wife’s Audi Q5), the stereo is wonderful and with the back seats down there is enough cargo capacity. It is so much easier to park than the truck. Has done fine in the snow and ice; just need to slow down a little with the OEM all season tires. Will put dedicated snow tires on the Mazda next winter. Really like the center dial instead of a touch screen. Took me about 5 hours of driving to get comfortable with it. All the buttons and controls feel solid and are laid out in a easy to use and intuitive manner. Overall, a great car. Will see how the reliability is long term. It is not perfect, but I could not find the perfect car. A few nits. The cellular reception is worse for some reason with Apple Car Play than when the phone is just in regular use. For example, it can take a while and needs more bars of reception to load Pandora with Apple Car Play vs. just using the phone and no Apple-Car Play. The wireless charger seems to heat up and not always work, trying to figure out if it is my older phone or a real Mazda issue. The center console does not hold a lot (Oh ya, this is a subcompact car). Miss the Ford's ventilated front seats. I am adjusting to the Mazda’s engine power. It takes a little longer to get on the highway, pass going up mountain passes, and overall to get up to speed than the Ford F-150. Yet, it is no problem going over 11,000-foot mountain passes while exceeding the speed limit. The benefit is gas mileage right at or better than the EPA estimates. (got 38 mpg on one highway trip recently) My gas bill is almost cut in half from the truck. Extremely happy with the car and look forward to seeing how it holds up in the long term. Also, love the Deep Crystal Blue Mica exterior.
