Agreed - as the owner of a CX-5, I would recommend you get a CX-5. On the question of turbos, I’ve previously owned a Golf 5 GTi, Audi A3 1.8T Sportback, BMW 320d, I can say that turbos have their pros and cons, but is not absolutely necessary even here in Joburg. In my CX-5, I only feel the need for more power when fully loaded with 5 passengers, plus their luggage, with the aircon on. Sure, a little more power would be nice to have from the naturally aspirated engine, but I can tell you that this engine will outlast ANY turbo engine. When driven calmly and smoothly, I am getting 7.1 l/100km average fuel consumption, which is brilliant for a mid-sized SUV. Mazda’s naturally aspirated engines are so under-rated because they are designed to be hyper-efficient and reliable, not for outright power. If you want to dice at traffic lights, then Mazda is not the brand for you, but expect your fuel consumption, engine reliability and insurance costs to go for a loop with a turbocharged engine from another brand. Your choice.

Madza's stubbornness on its engines is the only thing standing on its way to greatness... They are well priced and a great package... They need to update the tech, though. The price!!!

It's always the singing intro at the beginning for me❤

The price difference in Mazda's range is maniacal, especially when comparing this model to the CX-5. However, I can appreciate this offering. It's brilliant for older individuals who are technologically challenged and dislike fussy tech. The wheel control for the infotainment is reminiscent of older BMWs and Benzes, making it a familiar and comfortable choice for those who have been priced out of those brands. Additionally, this model is perfect for those who find the step up to full SUVs a bit too much.

Shoutout Maseve ❤ Thanks for giving us more car view while you are reviewing ❤

mazda products have great build Quality and they are very reliable, CX 30 is overpriced.. my choice is still CX5.

I love it, I would get it or get a used CX-5 carbon edition or Individual for that price, This car is not aimed to sell like hot cakes, the people who buy these cars are the kind of people who buy cars like your X2, those individualistic and not your typical choices like T-Roc. I love the approach to the tech, cos mostly we set up things as we leave once you going you dont need be fiddling with any screen, I love it. Its not the easiest but its exclusive. I would get this over any Kia,Hyundai, Haval or Cherry

Reba you are doing really well, always look forward to hearing your input

The back exterior looks hideous Masebe but the interior is amazing. I like the interior minimalist design but the infotainment screen could be slightly bigger. Price tag yona aowa... I rather go for Kia. And you do look amazing sister. Keep up the good work.

are we not gonna talk about the ghost at 6:35 to 6:36. that freaked me for a moment. loving your CONTENT and rao bona ko platform tse dingwe Maseve...

I love it too, stunning 🔥

I drive a 2020 Mazda 3 and it basically looks the same as that 2024 Mazda CX30`s interior. Mazda needs to innovate!! Maseve, you should be able to pick up and drop the calls on the steering wheel buttons. No need to swivel norbs.

I like the car but its too expensive. Don't worry we understand you very well. Thank you so much ❤❤❤

This was such a fun and authentic review and the advice at the end was very helpful!

This thing is a beauty 😍

Great work as always please do kia carnival 2025 please please

JOLION 1.5T CITY EVEN PRO, IS A PERFECT ONE. SORRY MAZDA

❤Lekker review

CX-5 is the one

I normally like the screen for navigation display. Where's the display on this one

Id really like to know your opinion on the BYD cars we just got in a review. Hardly anyone in SA has reviewed them (understandably) But id like to get ur take still

Can you please review cherry tigo 8 promax?

Today I was third 😂😂😂 yohhh but anyway im here. The review 😊

i was waiting for that "Mazda Ledombolo"

So glad you reviewed this car Reba💃🏽 💃🏽💃🏽my mom is looking for a new car and it’s between this one and the Kia Seltos. Can we get a review of the 2024 Kia Seltos as well. Thank you for the amazing content as always🫶🏽

Lol the way you get nervous vele around cops!? Wow. You’re always cute vele. Thanks for another dope review

Mazda gets points on reliability however in this generation it's just boring. I think mazda needs to up it's game in design as well as tech to keep up with the Asian competitors

VW Taigo will do

So an extra R60 - R70 on your CX30 installment a month gets you a mid spec CX5. I would rather sacrifice not eating bacon na maqanda once a month and go for the CX5🤣...Pricing is waaay off..

Hola Maseven great car problem no turbo and the price

You look amazing ❤❤CX5 for me

it's funny how the cheaper Carbon Edition looks better on the exterior than this top spec

It's nice yona I'd buy plus I'm a simple guy nje ishoda nge red paint nje yalaveka ntsena yona I'd buy

😢😢😢Mazda right now after watching Masevhe's review 😂

I love the CX-30 top spec, but i think the pricing is a bit compromised like the T-Roc.

Is this a top spec without sunroof?😮

You are good at doing your work 😅

Boots is 1series E81 82 87 mo Pitori....😇...Not gonna say anything about 'potiro hangara botetema' song 😂

Mara wa tseba wena Reba ba tlaba bare o no phela o le negative 😂😂

we love you babe❤❤❤❤

We have to accept one thing about Toyota n madza that you don't get a sunroof. 😢😢 but however this car a very reliable especially Toyota n madza. But I wouldn't buy the cx 30 I will go for x Cx3, cx5 or cx60

Ford Puma is another option worth checking out

Personally I hate the segment. In my opinion, it's a Mazda 3 on steroids. However, the build quality is above average especially considering the vast Asian products on offer. Again, build quality top notch, reminiscent of the Honda, those things are made to last. All things considered, I'd go for the Renult Capture.

Mpheng T-Cross R-Line 1.5

The intro song masebe 😂😂😂😂

You know you can drop the call from a steering control button right,😎

Hi Reba, quick suggestion. Whilst you're singing in the begininininging lol or intro, please show the key. Alot of car reviewers/journalist's don't do that. Not sure why because it's one of the most important items of the car. Hold it up or something, anything please show it.

Nah would rather go for cx5 for that price as well..!

This car looks nice but I also agree with the things you are not happy about. I personally don't want a car with no sunroof especially with that price.

You not cute.. you're beautiful...💐😍

Ive honestly fallen out of love with Mazda in the last 10 plus years. They look good now but im not getting yhe appeal outside tha The old 2009 Mazda 3 MPS was the last cool Mazda for me

No cat, no dog, no man? let’s sort the latter out. Where can I submit my CV 😀

Mazda just needs to pay a bit more attention to their engines, maybe just gooi a smaller'nyana turbo because ey man those engines are lazy and i hope they fixed their mirror folding mechanism because it just gives up too quick. Also i hate the gloss plastic on the centre console because that part gets scratched so easy and quick.

Zoom!!! Zoom!!! 😂

I would rather look for a low mileage CX5 model

Too simplistic dash and interior for my liking. Nothing catches and retains your attention. E didimetse thata

At that price, might as well just get a cx5.

Also there's too much plastic finishings for that price.

Ku laveka Gucci

2024 Mazda is still saying No To Turbo!😭😭😭

Hay that interior is ugly. Yho the Infotainment screen is too far there is that boring gap hay hay hay✖️✖️✖️

Can you do Toyota Corolla Cross please!

Mazda needs to stop sleeping on themselves... goid brand yess but hai guys life has moved on they can do better than this... interior is giving 2019 nyana so... there's no sunroof nyana exterior is basic very little creativity... wake up Mazda

This car looks like a dolphin, hate the design

Cars are expensive, 600 block for cx30.🥲 Ke shap shem, rather ke reke Corolla Cross or something.
