Review: 2020 Mazda CX-30 AWD - Is it the best small crossover?

[@Jenz123]

PHENOMENAL CAR. I bought the 2021 cx30 and do not regret it one bit !! Beautiful car inside and out and so fun to drive. Responsive, nimble, easy to drive . Premium interior and high quality feel and look. Mazda paid close attention to every detail .

[@smallstudiodesign]

*S O L D* ‼️ I bought mine yesterday ... picking up tomorrow. Regarding touchscreens ... I have an iPad ... it gets so grubby / fingerprinty ... Among many reasons, the fact that the CX-30’s infotainment centre isn’t touchscreen and relies on dials / buttons sold me ... screw the b.s. about touchscreens ... not in a car while driving.

I love the look of this new CX-30, I just wish the plastic cladding was scaled back just a little. And like some will say, it would be cool to see the 2.5T in here at some point.

[@2004cyrus]

DNeese The Runner modern steel used in car doesn’t rust, hence the warranty just in case. Mazda can’t seem to shake this old reputation. I don’t work for Mazda. But I always jump in to defend them, my parents bought their first Mazda in July 1989 and it was a wonderful manual transmission 626 LX or Ex. It was really really nice and Japan was putting out great cars including the very successful Honda Accord that my parents cross shopped. That car was passed down to my crazy little brother then from him to my crazy cousin Heather who delivered pizzas out of it for 5 years! It didn’t die. She crashed it during an icy winter in 2007. Oil changes were constant but I know my brother and then Heather drove the cat piss out of it! Meanwhile the parents bought a Mazda MPV in 95, an MX-6 in 99 and have bought 3-4 pre-owned Miatas. Now they have a CX-9 and a Mazda 3 and a Mazda 6, all less than 5 years old and going into their retirement. Meanwhile I was buying various Mazda’s and am currently into a new leased CX-5 and I own a 2016 Mazda 3. All that said, my siblings and other relatives own Mazda’s. We all like them. We keep going back to Mazda as they have been better than some of our Honda’s and certainly Nissans. I can buy about anything I desire under $55-$60k and I love the Mazda’s. Still fun, still quality and better all the time, efficient and affordable! No CVT! No rust! No paint problems! Just normal Maintenance. Mazda seems to not have a wide mass market appeal. There are reasons for that’d course like a small dealer network etc. but poor reliability and lack of fun-factor aren’t among them. I love to go take new Mazda’s on test drives. There are no perfect cars and especially at the price range of $20k for a new base model Mazda 3- but they manage to do an excellent job imo and in the comment section of any Mazda comment section you find on KZbin!! I hope you give them a chance if it meets your needs! Take care of the Mazda and the Mazda will take care of you! Let me know what you think! Good day.

Stephen Hendricks there you are Stephen! You don’t miss a review do you? Lol

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@2004cyrus Well, for the record I usually restrict my strong negative comments to the bloated CX-9. In fact, I have a long positive history owning Mazda vehicles. It's true I once had a Mazda 626 whose engine literally exploded 7000 miles after I purchased it new but after the engine was replaced under warranty I drove it another 100K miles without a problem. And I owned an AWD Mazda MPV that probably saved my life when I was able to get it out of a ditch in deep snow on an isolated logging road in the Cascade mountains. I even owned an RX8 with a rotary engine that had to be towed to the dealer each time it flooded when the engine was turned off before it warmed up to have its spark plug replaced. But having learned my lesson I always made sure not to let that happen and driving it was a hoot and a half. I've never owned a Miata but if Mazda built only that vehicle it would justify the existence of the company. As for the CX-30 I just wonder about the strategy of offering vehicles that seem to overlap one another in terms of market categories. There's the Mazda3 hatchback, CX-3, CX-30, and CX-5. All of the CX's in the sub-compact to compact crossover categories. The CX-30 is among the largest of the sub-compact category and the CX-5 the smallest in the compact category. The CX-3 and the CX-30 seem to overlap in term of both size and price. And other than ground clearance the Mazda3 hatch seems to offer what the smaller crossovers offer. Perhaps Mazda knows what they're doing but it looks to me as if they have a set of vehicles that are likely to cannibalize the sales of one another.

[@2004cyrus]

Stephen Hendricks I think all of the manufacturers are experimenting with the lately smoking hot crossover market. They’ll see what overlaps and cannibalizes the other as you say and focus on what the consumer is buying in the next 3-5 years and adjust. These companies are slowly become more nimble with their global platforms. That’s the beauty of capitalism- companies of all kinds adjust their product lines to meet consumer demands. Nothing new there. And you are hard on the CX-9 for some reason. You say it’s bloated, have you been in any domestic suvs and crossovers in the last 10 years, those are the definition of bloated. To each his own but I’ve driven many of them since the MPV and I happen to think they are great. But I do love Mazda for the price paid. Do you not find the Toyota Sequoyah or Honda Pilot to be bloated ?

Looks like a lifted Mazda 3.

[@mitchellsteindler]

No

[@tinhinnh]

it is but the back looks better here

[@gallyun1]

@@mitchellsteindler yes...lol

[@rebsiot]

It's literally a lifted Mazda3 with a wider hatch, cladding to make it look tougher and the cx5 info screen. I don't even think mazda is pretending. Savagegeese points this out (different style and focus equally good) Why mess with a great car. Lift it 6 inches and they sell millions more...because it's a cuv now. Wtf I'll keep my 19 Mazda3 stick 😁

Review: 2020 Mazda CX-30

[@Me_Caveman]

My mechanic listens to my radio more than I do. People born in the last 30 years own a phone.

[@robertroccii7117]

No it isn´t.

[@spynles7947]

One reason I personally wouldn't buy one of these is that torsion beam axle. Backwards step in my opinion.

[@peterjordan2738]

Best looking vehicle in its' class...Say good-bye to the "cladding" and I may purchase one. Mazda went the "cheap" route on this. Too bad. Also go to touch screen as well.

[@christopherpaolera4772]

The cladding actually protects the car , more cars should do it.

[@shelleyj1780]

Sounds noisy

[@kin357]

It's not

[@FlyingGentile]

Wish there was a manual

[@worrywart1311]

There is in Europe and it gets rave reviews.

[@jreid641]

Why don't they offer some better colors for this car. What they do offer is boring and bland. No fun what so ever!
