I would think the downside is the penny pinching by Mazda for small features. It was my only consideration until the Trax came out and offered heated steering wheel, seats, leatherette, upgraded audio, upgraded infotainment, black wheels, led headlights, and more space for less.

All of those 10 reasons are minor drawbacks and somehow funny i must say compared to the quality of this car. As far as the oil consumption concerns, if you live outside US and you buy an atmospheric engine its the best choice for reliability over time. I have mine cx 30 for 2 years and it never loose even a mm of oil! For me its a fantastic premioum quality car and with no competitors at its price and especially at the first edition it has more than everything you want. I must say that the info screen was designed intentionally by MAzda so that you want distract your attention while driving and trying to touch the screen with your hands. One of the reasons i choose this car was also this feature! Same for the aircondition buttons. Safety for MAzda is a priority compared to other competitors who they are more interested to impress the customers with touch screen etc....In real, everyday driving touch screens are more dangerous and difficult to operate, especially when a car has no buttons for the air condition.

You missed the entire point of the CX-30, it's not really a CUV, it's more like what Honda did with the Accord Crosstour or Subaru Outback. The ground clearance is good for uneven roads, potholes, speed bumps, snow, fire trails, or unpaved roads where you might worry about bottoming out the car. With all the road work going on around the nation, especially in New England a CX-30 might be a good option for a young family who wants a compact car. If that visibility is bad, then you shouldn't be driving. I drive a Mazda3 hatchback and it has poor visibility to some, but it doesn't bother me. There side view mirrors are large, the back up cam is crystal clear, there's blind spot warnings and an instrument display of a car next to you. The ride is not as brutal as you say it is, it's a lot better than Subaru that's in it's class. CX-30 is a niche market kind of car, it's not made to appeal to everyone, just like my Mazda3. Not everyone wants a compact AWD hatchback with sporty characteristics, but I'm glad they built one for those of us who wants one.

We bought at 2023 CX-30 Carbon Edition. The Infotainment system is fantastic. I prefer the dials and buttons vs. touch screen now. When you rest or your arm on the center arm rest, your hand falls naturally to the LCD control dials and buttons. I can zip through the Mazda menus and AppleCar Play faster than our Honda Pilot's touch screen. So easy to learn and get used to. Took about 10 minutes to figure this thing out. Took about a week to really get used to it when driving. Now I absolutely hate having to lean forward and LOOK at an LCD touch screen to navigate it's features when I'm driving. ...Touching screens are highly unnerving now... The smaller infotainment screen in elevated and in perfect position in relation to the window - It's practically a heads-up display. I can easily see the road in front me with my peripheral vision when glancing at the display. I don't want a giant distracting LCD display buried below the top of the dashboard that controls every aspect of the car. I'm not watching a map much less watching a movie when I drive. Winter driving is a non-issue. Snow doesn't build-up in front the headlights. What a dumb comment. review view visibility is not an issue when back up, or changing lanes. Plenty of visibility all around. The interior is snug, but it's not a "family vacation hauler" type of car - it's small. We do use it to run the family around town - and it's good little grocery getter. For the front passengers there's plenty of room unless your 6' 5"... You can actually get this car without a Turbo, so if there's a claimed oil issue with the Turbo Engine (never heard such a thing), there are other options. ...We don't have a Turbo engine. The 2.5L normal engine is fantastic. Love the body cladding - especially when driving my canoe to remote lakes down two tracks and gravel roads. So the cladding is actually (gasp) functional. The CX-30 handles rough roads beautifully - see comment above. ...have you guys actually driven this car? FFS! This car is fantastically stable and nimble when needing to accelerate to passing speeds of 80+ mph - even with the normal (non-turbo) engine. Seriously. Have you guys even driven this car?

Strange… had this in Florida. Loved it. Drove it up to Buffalo. -only time I wasn’t thrilled to be in the car. As for “control” -I’ve never driven a car that understood exactly what to do and where to go effortlessly like the Cx30. Nimble, athletic, visually striking, and an overall damn near perfect machine. The backseat being a little small aside, once we threw winter tires on the car, it became a winter enthusiasts dream. I have no idea what possible drawbacks you can say this car has. The fact that it does everything you want out of the box with no additional tinkering (and better than anything else in the price range and 30k plus above it) is reason enough to not hate it. I never once see another vehicle no matter the make and model and feel like what I’m driving is inferior in any way. In fact, I almost feel sorry for anyone NOT driving a Mazda these days, simply because their whole claim to fame is HOW the car drives. I have no idea how anyone who actually drives one can think you’ll find a more athletic and responsive machine. The MPG is in my honest opinion, the only drawback, and with what it is, I see no reason why Mazda doesn’t perfect the rotary and stick it back in a Supra competitor.

[@kevinhaig4844]

I love my non turbo CX30. I think it looks awesome. My only complaint is the climate control switches are a little too small to see right away distracting you from the road. I have no problem with the entertainment system.

[@benjaminscherliss4594]

I do agree on the Climate Control buttons being a bit small to find, lol. Guess I do have a complaint about this car.

[@b0neme]

"Minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit!" living in the North East, it gets -20 a few days a year. And even if it does, a little more heat is no problem!

[@terryneilbooth]

I think most of the issues raised apply to most smaller SUVS. I much prefer the smaller sleek entertainment screen than those larger (stuck in your face) type. They forgot to mention the premium finishes on the interior and standard extras you even get on the entry versions.

[@jeffreye4537]

The only reason on here that would be a concern is the oil consumption. I’d have to look into that. The biggest contradiction here is the supposed sluggish acceleration and then the picture of the turbo engine that propels this car to 60 in under 6 seconds. Lol. I drove this back to back with the CX5 and yes it’s obviously smaller. I’m 6’3 and found both driving positions very comfortable. The most remarkable difference is in the handling and fun factor. The CX30 was so much better driving it wasn’t even close. Acceleration was effortless with the turbo too. The only concern I have is the sacrifice of some utility. I look at this car as a good mix of sporty and SUV. It’s very quick and nimble but you also have AWD and decent ground clearance for any season. As far as visibility I really didn’t notice anything worse with the CX30 over the CX5. I think this video is more about nitpicking and opinions than anything else.

[@devastone]

I have a 2023 Carbon Edition CX-30, I have buttons to turn off the monitors and traction control, not sure what model you are reviewing. Also, the center knob works fine, I prefer it to a touch screen. This video seems to be your opinions, not facts, and some of those are wrong. I do agree with some of your statements though, it is a little sluggish off the line (I have a non-turbo version) and you have to keep the revs up for a "fun" driving experience.

[@jonboz7585]

I’d get the Mazda over a Honda HR-V due to the CVT in a lot of Honda vehicles.

[@suzana2963]

Is this channel have a problem with Mazda? or they getting from others $$$ to give bad review about Mazda? Just curious 🧐! I have got Mazda CX5 and I’m very satisfied and loved it.

[@Neesha242]

That car is much better than the cx 30 because it has more space

@@Neesha242 What? LOL

I've had my 2022 CX-30 for a year and a half I love this I would recommend to anyone I 20,000 miles mo issues at all.

[@devondelgado1818]

The oil consumption issue isn’t very common on some 2020-2021 models with turbos because defective valve seals. And it wouldn’t be a recall because it isn’t a safety issue.

What a bunch of BS!! Trolling the cx30 allright.

Did he really say that "the whole liftgate can get dirty pretty quickly"? tf?!! 🤣🤣

[@Michele-ue5eu]

"the car is unsable at high speeds", it would be nice to know at what speeds it is unstable, 100 km/h?, 150? 200? who knows. Also it's pretty minor but mazda sells it as compact crossover, not a SUV

[@Atlas_1775]

The car isn't unstable at high speeds. Video poster is just making things up

One thing I must agree with is that rear visibility is bad and the windows are so small. The window panels are very high so you can’t rest your arm

I just got one! I’ve turned off some of the gizmos. The dealer might have to disable i-stop. That screen can be turned off. Visibility is ok. I carry a walker and folding chair in the back. Performance is just fine. I don’t need a race car. I like the car.

I'm trying to figure out what and why you need an "infotainment" system in a vehicle. Aren't cars for driving? Isn't it illegal to be on your cell phone in most areas, how is playing with a google any different?

driving mazda everyday and loving it bro... i travel to other countries a lot and during my travel i will rent cars and had driven multiple brands of cars, and mazda exceed most car maker. and touchscreen is definitely a hassle during driving so im loving my buttons and knobs. thinking about getting new car and considering another mazda car. cheers

[@benjaminscherliss4594]

As someone who has had their new CX 30 for seven months now, I cannot recommend it enough. Thought I would be a Toyota guy for life but once I started researching, I would’ve waited two extra months for this car if I had to. Absolute blast to drive. Actually look forward to running errands and their reliability has overtaken Toyota and Honda and no CVT transmission.

[@DuaneAndersonawesome]

how much is toyoto paying you ?

[@front2427]

Mazda and Toyota same company pretty much

[@carseye1219]

I'd just begun looking for one. When I saw the title of this video, I thought "Oh no!" but none of those reasons would be deal breakers for me. I'd be a little more careful about oil consumption but that's about it. I like the looks. I'm a single guy so the space issues are not relevant for me.

[@rddungan55]

I love mine I am so surprised how great this suv is you will not be disappointed

[@donborvio]

I doubt you get this oil consumption, and if you do there's a problem. If you get (got?) at turbo model...you should change the oil every 3k miles to keep the turbo in shape and let the engine idle for a little before turning it off to prevent carbon build-up.

[@JUNJUN-lw2vr]

Drove one yesterday to Reno Nevada. Drives and handles very well. Even took Highway 88...lots of curves. It was awesome! On top of all that fuel consumption was superb 9:07

[@ebruli.cigdemisletmer6655]

I have 2023 CX 30 and it's an excellent car. It is very easy to control the screen by the center knob. Only the back seats are little bit small. But smooth drive and luxurious interior.

[@TravelCarsPasicevoPhotography]

enetertainment is one of the best in class and faster than other brands, without lags...very very reliable, relativly fast (8.8 0-100 km/h), average consumption 7-7.5 lit, even less...choose 150 horse power motor, because he is better handling the weight of the car 1465 kg with manual...this car has one of the heaviest hoods on the market, I preferably want 30-50 more horse power and lillte mora leg room in the back...veryz quiet car, good insulatio...not even single error for 2 years, stress free ride...

[@donzole3180]

Which engine do you have? I am looking to buy one with 186 hp, whats the fuel consumption on it, on 130km and on 150km, I want to buy it for longer trips only, so I will be driving 130-150 most of the time.

[@TravelCarsPasicevoPhotography]

150hp

[@timkudryavtsev4133]

I totally agree with a person down in the comments area that these 10 "reasons" are just minor cons of this car. Extra oil consumption is not based on facts and allegedly just a report of a few drivers (where? how many? etc). I agree though with the limited visibility and cladding points you raised. These are valid points. The rest are just nit picking. Last point of " poor stability" - what does it even mean? Being firm and unstable on the road are two different things. It is like comparing a car with coilovers and the car without an antiroll bar. All Mazdas are generally on the firm side. This has been since Ford owned Mazda. I own 2 Mazdas and they are both on a firm side comparing to competition. That is what I like and it is a matter of choice. Also, safety packages are designed for general masses who do not even know what stability or traction control is. So even if Mazda added a feature where you could switch it off - the vast majority of people will never touch this button. What people care about is reliability, looks and tech. I would add by saying that tech is where Mazda is slightly behind. For example infotainment system and all of it`s downfalls. Reliability and looks - Mazda nailed it.

[@cherylbrantley4736]

I will take a CX 30 over a Kona any day.

[@chanwing1536]

Everything is v.good MAZDA CX 30 comparison with other cars . It’s practical & easy to drive more powerful & reliable . It’s still best in class & right choice for me have been drive for nearly 3years. I will definitely not agree what you going to say more

[@carinlobo7077]

If youre buying this car, you need to ensure that your insurance covers storms, floods etc.. my car speakers were completed ruined after water seeped into the car. Which would also mean there is some gap at the doors for water to seep in😢

[@differencemaker242]

Well yes, no matter the car WATER will find a way in. If any car drives into deep water that water will flood the interior. No car is built that tight to prevent that. It's not a submarine. Watch any video here on KZbin where a car drives into high water and you'll see it flood.

[@mvillar24]

So, if I'm personally happy with a 2015 Mazda 3 Hatch, how many of these negatives still apply to me?

[@Atlas_1775]

I went from a 2017 Mazda3 hatch to a 2022 CX-30. The CX-30 is basically just a slightly bigger, lifted, awd version of the Mazda3. None of the negatives will apply, because the "negatives" he mentions are blown way out of proportion. My only complaint is that it feels *slightly* underpowered, but for what it is its actually powered just fine.

[@marcosv8426]

@@Atlas_1775 Thanks for confirming what I suspect. I'll definitely test-drive the CX-30. I'll probably try the Turbo Premium model to see if it is worth sacrificing 3 MPH for the extra zoom-zoom. It does suck that in the 2023 CX-30 trims, I need to go turbo if I actually want the Bose speakers and Sirius XM radio support, which I had in my mid-trim 2022 Mazda3 hatch.

I disagree with whole video, I have driven 90k on mine, it's good to great in all categories. Mine is 2.5l no turbo. No issues so far, I still have the original brakes. It is big in the front seats and comfortable. I would say stay away from all small turbo compacts. If you like the Kona be prepared to get in que for a new turbo and engine, they are cheaply made. There's this thing called a snow brush to clear the snow 😂 .

[@RiotShieldMan]

After working for a Mazda dealership for 5 months, I have absolutely fallen in love with the CX-30. It also sells like crazy. Soooooo...yeah...it will 99% most likely be my next vehicle.

[@michelleschaefer1727]

I just bought a 2024 cx30 3 weeks ago and just love mine. Fits me just fine. Rides great and I bought it in gunmetal great. Gone over many potholes and seemed smooth to me. And it's very stable at 70mph.

[@2033regency]

I found out that the gas cap door won’t open. I asked the dealership why this would happen and all they said was it was something they can’t fix. Fortunately I was just stopping to top off. I got out to add gas after turning the car off and the gas door would not open. I got online to see if this was an ongoing problem and I could find 3-5 entries complaining of this issue. The fix was to wait it out. I drove to the dealership and when I got there I checked the door before checking in and it was working. This can be a very dangerous issue if you were low on gas and didn’t want to wait in the area you were in… (an unfamiliar area of a unfamiliar town) - I drive a cx30 2022

I am driving one now as a courtesy car while my dealership works on my Mazda 6. I kind of like it. Maybe the only concern is some of the nanny features. High beams turning on in heavy traffic at night. Some of the monitoring features did not work on a frosty morning. I have not noticed any of the other complaints mentioned in this video yet. I get to keep the car for a few more days.

[@jaydub8282]

If you listen to most of these pointers and agree, youre looking at the wrong car. Maybe you need a suv cx50, cx90 and/or you havent realized the cx30 is a cozy crossover with everything included for a nice price. Source - I drive a 2023 Mazda CX-30 AWD Turbo with Premium package.

Thanks for these advises I am going to upgrade Mazda3 to cx30 ❤😊

[@pachhhanel]

I come from Corolla 2020 HB with a sparetyre (basically no trunk) so this is like a ship to me. What i love about this one is: 2.5 atmospheric engine Price Interior is perfect even better than some entry levels of Mercedes etc. Trunk is more than 500 litres. Compact, so it is good for a crowded city. You can open the trunk manually and from the outside (can't really believe I am getting impressed by that) From the outside looks great, especially from the front. Resale price.

For the ice and snow in winter, you don't need to heat up the car to free the windshield wipers. Mazda has heated windshield wipers designed specifically unfreeze themselves in winter.
