Knock-out Styling and Very Comfortable

I was shopping to downsize from my lease-ending Honda Ridgeline. I wanted a smaller car but not a sedan. The CX-30 sits higher off the ground and it's very easy to get in and out of; the interior is gorgeous! Very comfortable, quiet and roomy interior up front; I did not care about back seat space as I'm the only one in the car every day. This car feels more powerful than a lot of auto reviewers give credit for; it has plenty of power for me, no doubt, and I came from a 260+hp V-6 vehicle. The car rides very smooth. I love the Polymetal Grey paint and the black/brown leather interior; I've gotten a lot of great compliments on the car overall.

Turned on a dime, looke sharp

Great performance, turning, drivability, options. Both my wife and I enjoy the feel of the vehicle. The vehicle feels like something we will keep for a long time.

Great looking vehicle

I really like the style of this vehicle. Plenty of space and comfortable to drive. No blind spots. Nice features and love the remote start from my phone.

Fun to drive, practical, with a top notch interior

Back legroom is slightly tight, but overall a comfortable ride with tight cornering and a responsive engine. Interior is amazing. I bought the select trim.

Pleasure to drive, LOVE it!

The perfect small SUV. Premium AWD trim has so many luxury features. Only thing I wish were available were power folding mirrors and cooling seats. I will be installing the homelink dimming accessory mirror and I might possibly add parking assist sensors. Everything else I wanted is there, works very well, beautiful lines and leather interior. I actually like the joystick style entertainment control. Use the waze and pandora on the android auto, sounds great. Makes tight turns and very quiet, smooth ride. Has adequate pickup even in non "SPORT" mode. Uses regular gas, good mpg. The RED exterior is breathtaking.

Great small SUV

Was looking for a smaller SUV, downsizing from a Jeep Cherokee. I test drove the Mazda CX-30 and was hooked. Didn't need to try any others.

Very Happy So Far (600 Miles)

We wanted to downsize from our 2017 Toyota RAV4, and the 2020 Mazda CX-30 seemed to fit the bill. It is very plush for a reasonably priced compact hatchback, has all wheel drive, leather seats, navigation, heads-up display, smart phone tie-in, paddle shifters and Bose stereo. The "Commander Switch" for the navigation, audio, electronic displays, etc. is really great after a short learning curve. We are pleased with the ride, power, handling and noise levels.

AWESOME!

I shop for the vehicles in my household and when my mom was in need of a new car I went to Mazda since my sister just leased a Mazda CX-5 and notice that you get a lot of features for the price. The CX 30 is amazing, very sporty, luxurious and fun to drive. No other manufacture comes close to luxury and the options that comes standard on the premium model compared to all of the other makes not even A fully loaded Volkswagen. I have a $67,000 Mercedes-Benz AMG that doesn’t have some of the options my mom’s Mazda has. It’s super easy getting in and out since the increased height. They have fixed some glitches that the CX five has had such as the low fuel light coming on at 30 miles like every other car versus at 12 miles on the CX five. It is also very safe airbags all around including Front passenger and driver knee airbags.
