This is a family I want my family to hang out with 😆

[@edhcb9359]

Bought this car for our daughter for college. It’s tiny inside. Definitely not a family truckster! 😂

[@JohnnyErnestoCampino]

I have a 2 year old and a CX30. It's fine.

[@sentinurse]

We had a CX-30 for our first car in the US. It’s okay for a single person, but it’s just cramped. Wife complained of the window line making it claustrophobic, lots of blind spots and gives her headaches. She’s 5 foot flat. We did a 5 day trip around Arizona, and we realize even with the rear seat folded down we don’t have a lot of space to put our things in the car. Driving wise it’s very sporty and agile. Nothing flashy, but gives you confidence in driving around curves.

[@Atomicbri]

We have oned one since 2020 (2021 model) NA engine in Soul Crystal Red and it has been the best car! It's only 2 of us so the back space is never used and friends have never complained about it. I kind of see the CX-30 like a CX-5 "coupe" even though I hate calling anything without 2 doors coupes, but it is like the BMW X2 type vehicle. More sporty than spacious. Though I have hauled a lot of stuff from IKEA and worked just fine!! But Mazda makes a great product and I would definitely buy one again.

[@webonics]

Look at Micah getting all techie with the AI images and audio. 🤓 Great channel!

[@saadayahgbolo60]

Family isn't about blood, It's about love. ❤

[@jeremyorwhatever]

And that’s what powers a Subaru

[@Kiss__Kiss]

@@jeremyorwhatever 🤣 For sure!!

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Amen to this!!!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review as always guys!

[@justincredible1990]

From the side profile, this car looks like an angry Daffy Duck.

[@Snake-ms7sj]

C'mon automakers, stop with the gloss black plastic already. Looks cheap, reflects sunlight, and shows fingerprints and dust.

[@Stinger430]

Your reviews always perk up my day. Love the CX-30, I'm so not a fan of that Sand colour. So boring. Thanks for another terrific review Muzios!

[@McSMACKthe1st]

I had to rewind to see the duck right before the Trim Recommendation because it went by so fast I thought I was seeing things. Like “did I just see a duck”?😂

[@paultruesdale7680]

Nice, that you can touch the screen instead of just messing with the NobbyJobby, couldn't resist it! Best small family review on You tube.

[@LuhanKaiXander]

I have the ‘24 CX-30 2.5 S (which is the complete basic) and it’s perfect. Yes, there are a few things I’d change but overall I am so in love with my car.

[@radudeATL]

Honestly, they could take all this Mazda goodness that I love so much and implement Honda levels of interior packaging and outward visibility, I would be so happy. Speaking as a current Mazda owner…

[@spol1622]

I just got one 4 days ago. The very next monig, day after purchase, warning about faulty start button came up (had to set up service visit after I couldn't erase it myself). And today morning, I noticed that paint is pilling off of the drver side fender. I like the car, but it's certainly a bad way to start a new car ownership. I will talk at the dealership about the paint, but if they do nothing, I will just cover it with a touch-up paint for now (the spt is not large), but will give it to the body shop at the time that is more convenient for me.

[@user-jp9gi2jl4m]

Nice video. Micah

[@hereigoagain5050]

As Kiddo has gotten taller, getting in and out has gotten easier! To keep your reviews consistent, you'll have to stop feeding her :) "Sorry! No veggies today. We have standards to uphold!"

[@FlowStateNewOrleans]

Evie is right about the Taco Bell smell. I looked hard at the 2022 CX-30 before deciding to wait a while to move on from my current car. I would only want it with the Turbo engine. Testing a couple of different trims, at the time, the Premium Plus was really what I wanted, though I might have been able to settle for a Premium. The non-premium trims were missing too much in several areas. The car world of 2022 with its dealer markups on everything meant that my local Mazda monopoly was pushing the price on the rare Turbo Premium Plus to $40k. At that price, I'd have paid the extra for a Golf R. I likely will revisit the CX 30 in the future, though.

[@rosseypik114]

Godfall at one is spot on, but play Detroit with a significant other or close friend and it's a ton of fun. Not sure I'd consider that one a sacrifice of game for gfx.

[@AarmOZ84]

I love Mazdas, but the CX-30 is more for young people starting out on their own and not for a family car.

[@len9743]

First world problems. Family of 4 in nissan versa all day long.

[@muffdiver4973]

I really liked the ending. 😂

[@jonathankleinow2073]

I'm confused about the seat belt warning complaint. You've mentioned it before on other Mazda products, but every car I drive does the seat belt alarm chime when you start the car. How is Mazda's different than, say, Honda's? Is it the chime itself that's extra annoying?

[@LuhanKaiXander]

With some Honda vehicles you can trick the seatbelt to make the noise stop but with the CX30 you can’t and it won’t stop until someone buckles in.

[@YourLForever-f7e]

micah = awesome

[@dystopia-usa]

Great vehicle & I own one currently, but not the vehicle segment to purchase if aren't into smaller vehicles as a preference, need a lot of cargo space, or plan to seat adults in the rear seats. Should be a no-brainer to understand this, but many apparently don't. If you want/need more cargo/hauling space & rear seating comfort then buy the next segment up (such as a CX-5 or larger), instead of whining that the CX-30 is too small.

[@tony2tooth661]

Greatest car show on KZbin non debatable 😂❤

[@tedrik1346]

Neighbor is trading it..says too cramped/claustrophobic with blind spots..love your family reviews!

[@springertube]

Yes, this ^^.... they really need to do something about that belt line. Too much of the Camaro effect going on there. Makes you wonder, does anybody beta test this stuff before final go-ahead for production? Not to stereotype, but especially if the design studio is in Japan it really is confounding. Electronic sensors and cameras notwithstanding, innate visibility is a big part of the safety (and enjoyment) equation.

[@Snake-ms7sj]

High belt line, small windows and big ugly black plastic wheel arches (which has received much criticism from past reviewers). That seems to be the thing about Mazda ...... if they have a design that gets criticized, they stubbornly will not change the styling. Anyone remember the Mazda 3 when they went with the joker face restyle for the second generation 2008-2013? many people hated the look, but Mazda kept it for 5 years.

[@seve2190]

@@Snake-ms7sjThat look was actually only around for 3 model years… 2010-2013

[@Snake-ms7sj]

@@seve2190 Yep you are right don't know what I was looking at. SEEMED longer. Saw those ugly joker faced versions arriving around for years afterwards. It was a shame because the first gen hatchback was one of the best looking hatchbacks made in my opinion. Still looks good even today.

[@vagabond1776]

CX-30 still looks good…would be even better with the Miata’s 6spd manual.😃

[@slighwentwalking2024]

I test drove the CX-30..... and I liked-ed it....I liked-ed it 🤔 It was small and it handled great... it had a premium feel.....I took a pass on it but I can see its appeal.

[@chemjam92]

What about the Toyota Corolla Cross?

[@mtkk22]

This is an extra small/ subcompact crossover SUV. Mazda CX5 has more leg room in the second row seats and more cargo room.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

I only wish that this Carbon Turbo trim came in more colors than just baby puke brown

[@levigato125]

Get rid of the oversized flares and piano black interior. Then I would buy it. I miss the CX-3.

[@jngobngo]

I've always wanted to like this car but way too cramped feeling inside 🐍 The hood to car ratio is also strange

[@mistertee5000]

100% right about the Taco Bell Smell!

[@gene978]

I see Kiddo is still using a Booster car seat. I looked up how tall you must be to out grow the booster seat. I know People who worked for me that were retired age that were not 5’ tall. They were just under 5 feet tall. Would they need a Booster to legally drive or ride? 😂

[@WarHammer1911A1]

Just import the Mazda6 wagon...

[@tecwzrd]

8:41 steping up your videos with AI now lol. Mazdas are decent little cars but I'd rather have a 2025 Toyota Camry at that price point.

[@davidanderson-22]

These look really good lowered.

[@bill4632]

This is way too small for me. Even though I enjoy the single life.

[@denault3985]

Looks a little small for the Muzio family, normally you drive larger.

[@danielmiedema5836]

They should offer that interior color in all exterior colors..can't stand that sand color with ugly black wheels

[@owenmcdonald5922]

I love this car. Unfortunately, in Europe, we get an asthmatic 2litre. Come on Mazda, give us this turbo unit.

[@vikvc]

How is a 2 L engine asthmatic?

[@owenmcdonald5922]

@vikvc 118hp. Ford get more from a 1 litre 3 cylinder

[@Vietothief]

cutee

[@jacobyo99]

These are tiny inside. So is the CX-5 for that matter

[@sleepercell45]

Obviously this isn’t a family car come one 😂

[@macaron3141592653]

Quick answer, hell no. A civic hatchback is better.

[@diydrivenGA]

How so?

[@capta1nmark]

Great car, I might get this when it gets a due redesign, hopefully less cladding lol
