If you don't need the space of the larger models, this is my favorite model on the Mazda lot. Every other competitor has caveats like cheap interiors, little power, shit availability, or some combination of the 3. With the CX-30, it rides nice, has a class leading interior, good power, decent fuel economy, and the right amount of features.

Bought the CX-30 for my 5ft mother and she absolutely loves it. The CX-5 or CX-50 is comically big for her. Some people do like how small the CX-30 is!

im 6ft 2 with a 34 inch inseam. I can fit fine in the back.

Gonna miss u two together, u guys have great chemistry together and entertaining as reviewers. By far my favorite with car reviews.

Really gonna miss the buddy cop reviews of this channel. It’s what made you guys special. Don’t know if it’s the best move for the channel but wish Charlie all the best in his new digs. Hopefully there is a tearful reunion in the future.

In 36 years of driving and ~20 vehicles my turbo premium cx30 is my favorite.

After driving this, you won't enjoy driving other major Japanese compact SUVs. Cx-30 is that good.

I don’t understand why reviewers knock the amount of trunk space and back seat leg room in a small car. Its a SMALL CAR! Duh!

I test drove the CX-30 and CX-5 and went with CX-5 because it was bigger. They both drove nice as Mazda's always do!

As a quick seat-belter (quite possibly one of the fastest in town), I have been able to keep my cx-5 ding dongs down to a minimum. No annoyances whatsoever

I've had my 2022 CX-30 Carbon Edition for 19 months thus far. No problems, issues or complaints to report, other than I had to black-out additional portions of the vehicle to make that thick body cladding look palatable to me & properly integrated into the vehicle design. This is my first Mazda & I've come to believe that they build better ICE vehicles than either Toyota or Honda these days.

Americans: the CX-30 is too small Europeans: the CX-30 is such a big car, you'll have to pay a tax for that, and another tax because a 2 liters engine is obviously way too much. At least we have the option for a manual transmission, and a battery to make the car a "mild hybrid", which is nice.

I am buying a used 2023 CX-30 AWD Turbo. You don't need a turbo. You want a turbo. My wife and I are both short so the size issue is not an issue. I talked to a guy getting his daughter's CX-30 washed. He said the brakes are soft. It isn't that it brakes slow, but ther is a bit more travel compared to a sporty car that engages the bakes almost immediately.

I've got the Turbo 2021 Soul Red / White Interior. It's a sweet ride. I don't have a dog or kids, so the size is perfect. It's a great road trip car.

Good vid! As a soul red/white parchment cx30 owner i can tell you, yes, the interior feels much bigger in white than black...yes, the back seat leg room is stingy but i never use the back seat so not an issue for me. As for the admittedly too small gas tank, i still get about 320 miles hwy with that tank and usually i like to get out and stretch every 250 miles or so on road trips so i just stop at a gas station. As i never use the back seat for people, i removed the headrests so no issues folding them flat with the front seats all the way back. I prefer small cars (perhaps from living in europe) and this fits the bill for me. I looked at the Taos and cx5 but both are too big for me

Got this same car in March of last year, love everything about it except the cup holders

It’s funny seeing how you laughed about how impressive 37 mpg is. In the UK people would find that horrible😂. This car is great and so was the video!!

I tested this and I actually don't think the back seats are that bad. But it depends on how far back the front seat are pushed. So if the front people are not big and don't need to slide the front seat back too much then the back seats have OK room. Child seats are another story though but for that there is CX-5

I"m down to confusoin now as to which one I'd like-- so I've reached the point where the only way I'm going to decide is go DRIVE some!!!

Love my 2021, fun to drive and is awesome in the Michigan winters. Do not believe carbon edition is worth it. New my 2021 was $26,000 for Preferred with added wireless charging, Bose system, and convenience 3 package which give you a lot of the Premium package up grades. And I agree you do not need the turbo.

Excellent review. I've been on the fence re: the 2023 CE and the ONLY reason I"m on the fence is lack of Bose. Is it worth the additional cost in fuel (I'm in WA state - most expensive gas in the USA) and get the Turbo for the Bose or are there plans in 2024 to add the Bose to non Turbo CX-30? Inquiring minds want to know.

While the NA is just enough for the CX5, it is perfect for the CX30. You get better reliability, better mpgs for the average city communter, and it sounds pretty good when reved and kind of a throwback powertrain. If only Mazda went perfomance hybrid vs creating a turbo engine.

The cx3 was a tiny little car that you could pack a lot into. Ex: 1 week worth of camping equipment and supplies including luggage, toiletries, and provisions. For ppl who want a small car and storage capability it’s a great car. Also feels less confused than the cx30.

Good point about the soul red paint with red interior. I mean who cares if the shades match, you only see one at a time. And it's not like Mazda hasnt already committed the fashion faux pas of mixing black and brown with interior materials😂

Why do people unnecessarily push the front seats all the way back? Doesn't it feel/get uncomfortable. Also genuinely cant tell if the space in the back is small or the range of motion for the front seats is more.

I’m seriously considering a CX30, but I love how high up I feel when I drive the CX5. Am I going to lose a lot of that if I get a CX30? Thanks for any replies.

Hey guys great review. Just wondering how tall y'all were so as to understand how small leg room is in the rear? Thanks

Australia gets the CX-30 from Japan. The brakes are a constant complaint. Even models here you really need to stomp on them.

What colour do u think is the best for this car? Soul red crystal?

They’re on the left of the steering column…Use your turn signals.

Wow, my stupid 2007 Yaris has great sounding door closes.

Nice vehicle on many leveled but in need of a refresh. Had a 2020 Preferred but when the lease was up looked elsewhere due to the fact nothing has changed on them.

Looks like willow run

Are these still made in Mexico?

$31k is cheap bro... 😂😂😂 singapore cost $196K for mazda cx30 2L engine.. hahaha

The guy holding the camera is annoying. The man on screen is trying to describe how his driving is, and the guy is interrupting him.

Take the gender out of your demographic recommendation, it’s 2023. Younger, older, families, singles, couples, off-roaders are better descriptions.

As viewers, you guys make us feel really uncomfortable and talking over eachother really sucks. But great video quality

Going 80 in a 55 zone on public roads and rolling through stop signs is embarrassing and dangerous for a car reviewer

Nobody cares about your college dating experience.

First comment

Outdated and that infotainment system with no touchscreen is lame.......

I own a 2021 Mazda cx-30 premium. The ONLY thing i like about this car is the Bose sound system. Everything else sucks. Low mileage range compared to other similar cars. Too much plastic. This car scratches SO EASILY!!!! I am shocked Mazda has not been sued for this. Mazdas look great but they are cheap for a reason. The materials they use are ridiculously cheap and scratch easier than a lottery scratch off ticket. And the entertainment screen is fking garbage as well. I regret ever getting this car and everyone should avoid Mazda all together
