I think Mazda builds the best driving cars outside of Germany. It's too bad more people in the US don't give them a shot. Maybe if they did, we'd see more of them with a manual trans. From the ones I've owned, they're just as reliable as any other Japanese car.
Mazda has some serious design issues that cost you large amounts of money to remedy. Of the Japanese car brands Honda and Subaru perform best in my opinion. Worth the extra money to buy in my opinion. I would also choose Toyota over Mazda
Correction: SOME places in the U.S. don't buy Mazdas. Californians still love their Mazda. I see them all over the place here in Northern California. Also, Mazda had a substantial increase in sales in 2023, fyi.
I'm on my second CX-30 turbo. They are literally amazing. ❤ Mazda owner for life. I had multiple brands prior to Mazda. The reliability, power, quality build design & very adequate AWD. I live in a snowy/cold area & this vehicle is amazing.
My current Cx-30 Turbo's lease is almost up. Do you feel the current one is enough of an upgrade to lease the new one, or should I consider buying out my current one (2021)?
@@AdAce21 they haven't really changed much at all. I have a 23 after totaling my 22 unfortunately due to a deer. I would just buy out the lease & be that much closer to paying it off.
My wife drives a 2023 CX-30. Her Mazda’s AWD system is so indifferent to Michigan snow that it seems baffling Mazda doesn’t make a bigger deal out of how well it works. This is her first Mazda after 4 consecutive Subarus.
6:25 The transmission short-shifts because, almost like a diesel, the engine develops most of its power down low. While redline is 6200, torque peak is at 2500 and power peak is at 5000. Past that, you're just making more noise. So "short-shifting" is the fastest way to drive the car. The little turbo is pushing 17.4 psi peak boost, but runs out of breath at high RPMs. Mazda engineered the system for daily driving, not the racetrack - the trade-off is basically instant spool-up and virtually no turbo lag. I daily this car and it's a hoot.
"Put some aggressive tires on this thing and it will be unstoppable" 100% My wife's CX5 has Falken Wildpeak ATs on it and it will traverse basically anything you throw it at. I really want to try a CX30 now after this. thanks again Sarah.
@@quietlyridinglife1630 on the CX5 no. We went from a really shit Kumho radial and there was an IMPROVEMENT after a few hundred miles. Was still 23-26mpg on most trips. Maybe a 1.5 drop overall at highway speed
I have 2023 CX-5. I was thinking of getting some mild A/T tires. I live in NM with a lot of dirt & gravel roads. I have the factory Yokohama tires, which on these roads are halfway worn at 18k miles. Are your Wildpeaks the A/T Trails? If so, do you have any experience with them in mud?
every car they offer has a turbo offering except the miata which is neat. 4th gen 3 sedan and hatch, the 6, cx-7 & 9 before they were discontinued, the cx-5 (even turbo diesel), cx-30, cx-50, cx-70 & 90 etc. the only modern non-miata that didn't see the turbo was the cx-3.
Sarah, you are one of my favorite vehicle reviewers by far. As a car nerd AND a scientist, I really appreciate the technical and build information you provide!! You really know your shiz.
Sarah's channel is by far the most enjoyable to watch, bar none. Great humor to information ratio. Again, great facts with great humor.....................................
Sarah the off road mode in the CX-30 is only meant to be used to assist you in getting out of deep snow or mud. Its not meant to be used at all times according to the manual.
It is a subcompact, especially in the back seats it is tight for adults. The storage area is small too. There are USB's and a 12 v power jack inside the center armrest compartment, but there should be jacks by the vent in the back. Still, the interior is better than some more expensive brands. I was impressed with the performance on the dirt and hill. That Soul Red is one of the best red shade of color ever on a modern car, and you even come close to matching it with your blouse. I have a '21 CX-30 non-turbo, had it for 2 1/2 years now, have driven it cross-country from NJ and into the deep south, midwest in 38 states, has 39K on it and but for the battery (original was a cheap, low CCA's one, replaced with a better 650 CCA) and no other problems. I like the road feel, that has a real shiftable, real automatic transmission (not a CVT), the AWD gives you confidence on slippery/rainy surfaces, decent fuel mileage. I believe you did a review of a non-turbo CX-30 several years ago and you liked that too.
Love your editing Sarah. I don't know how you have time to do all that work, the reviews and put little Japanese characters and music into your videos as well. Im guessing you never sleep
Had a 2022 Mazda 3 Turbo AWD. The most fun car I have ever had for the price point. Quick, nimble, and looked great! Super soft interior, nice trim pieces and physical knobs instead of touch screens; which I appreciated. Great to take up into the mountains and into some twisties. Sadly, I needed more hauling capacity otherwise I would never have gotten rid of it.
I owned the spec and color of the CX-30 you tested. I loved the car. I started driving Uber and decided to get a bigger car and bought a Toyota Highlander. For a single person or a couple, it’s an awesome little car that’s a blast to drive.
Based on your review, I picked up a certified pre-owned 2023 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus with all the toys. The ticker had 3k on it, it was a dealer loaner/demo unit, and appears to be well kept. About 20% off the MSRP, plus an extra 12months and 12k miles on the B2B warranty as well as the power train warranty goes out to 7/100k It's a apt replacement for my 2012 3 with "spaceship mileage"
I actually just went today and signed the paperwork for a 2024 cx-30 carbon edition. 3700 miles on it. Used as a dealer loaner. 28,800. 6680 off of the original price with a better warranty.
In addition to a 95 Miata, I have a 2020 Mazda 3 all-wheel drive. I second your feelings regarding a manual transmission in these. That is literally the only thing I don't like about my Mazda 3. I'm happy that they're using what could be considered an old school 6-speed automatic, but a manual would really make the cx30 and Mazda 3 AWD kind of special
Hey nice drone shots. I've had 6 subys... And now i have 2 Mazdas... After watching your review i got a 2021 cx9. My first Mazda is a 2014 cx5 i had purchased it w/36k miles and now i have 246k it's been really reliable and i thrash it around everyday. Thnx
Another great review, Sarah. Mazda has always built quality cars and this one is no exception. I had a 626 GT Turbo for 30 years and enjoyed every minute of owning it. Keep the great reviews coming.
I think a case can be made for a manual hood holder-upper. They always work and will likely never need to be replaced because they can't keep it up........like gas struts.
Love your reviews! I have a 22 Mazda3 turbo - but considered the cx30 to cope with the Houston roads. Great cars. Pretty much all the goodies CorkSport have come up with for the 3T also work on the cx30. Their air intake / turbo inlet pipe and cat back exhaust make the engine even better! Imagine some turbo whooshes to go with your off-road fun 😊. Thanks again.
Why does no one else put the car on a lift and show us the drivetrain? I really missed this since I started reading "Auto Motor und Schport" three decades ago. Thank you Sarah.
I Daily a Mazda 3 Hatchback AWD, it got me out of a snow jam ! Not an Audi but got the job Done. Your Pro Style and Details about stuff we wana see is the best around. Gotta say you're like the Tiny Coin in the Dryer...Hott Dime ! :) Big Uppps Sarah n Tuned !!!
Our 2016 cx5 is in that deep red and still looks amazing despite not being a fully garaged car. The paint is holding up really well . We bought ours slightly used and it’s been a great car and is pushing 110k . We also have a 3 and my commuter is a CX 3 grand touring AWD and I will never sell that , it’s amazing .
One of the features I love of my CX-30 is that the headlights both auto level, and they also turn with the steering wheel. I was a bit weirded out when I first drove it at night, but it sure makes a difference when turning or going around curves.
Adaptive headlights were finally legalized in the US by the DOT fairly recently. I have older BMWs that came with the adaptive hardware anyway, and the software locked out the function. When you started the cars, the self-test would still move the headlights to verify that the motors were free, but they didn’t do anything while driving. There were separate fixed position lights for lighting up corners.
@@Palaemon44 That sounds like a smart design from BMW. Citroën had similar systems for many decades. The SM, a rare and complex machine, had a cluster of 6 head lamps the self leveled during braking and accelaration, and the inner pair swivled to iluminate around bends. All hydraulically operated.
The Tucker had a single center headlight that turned with the direction of steering in June 1947. They should be mandatory instead of the headlight off when the directional signal flashes on that side. D'oh !
You can get a manual version in the UK but it's a different engine being a 2 litre naturally aspirated Sky Active X which I think has a supercharger but only has 180 bhp. I'm pretty sure the supercharger is for fuel efficiency and not power. They are saying 47 mpg average, that's imperial gallons not US gallons
This is what the website says "An extremely lean mix of fuel and air are compressed to an extremely high pressure. A spark then ignites a very small, dense amount of fuel, which further raises the heat and pressure in the cylinder, causing the remaining fuel to ignite under pressure (like a diesel). The fuel burns more quickly and more completely so you get better performance and fewer emissions than a conventional engine." and "there is a small supercharger which helps to pressurise the air in the engine when running in SPCCI mode"@@RRr-yl8zr
I drive Toyotas for 17 years and in 2022 got myself a Mazda3. I love the way my 2022 Mazda3 premium plus drives, there's this overwhelming feeling I want to take each curve a little faster, and the g-vectoring control really keeps things planted with minimal body lean & that's even with the junk stock 18in toyo proxes. I don't track my car but i love throwing it into bends, roundabouts and twisty country roads in sport mode.
I just got the Carbon Edition turbo. Had it on some muddy dirt roads in the lake George area, absolutely a blast. Best choice in car since my fiesta st
Ahhh! I just love that Rally Special Stage! So much fun to watch - that is just one of many things that make your car reviews the best on the youtube! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
Loved the enthusiasm for the little Mazda, just put some off-road boots on it and her go. Sarah ever thought of doing a timed lap around the off-road track…. just for some added fun.
GreatJob with this video. Mazda is rocking it with their CUVs. These cars really need to be pushed to uncork the fun "Zoom-Zoom". Love my 2024 Mazda CX-50 TPP
Sarah does not ordinarily call out other TH-camr videos, especially explainer videos. Not that I would expect any of Jason's video would be anything less than exemplary, but because Sarah called it out, I feel I must go watch it. Very high praise.
I really like these little cars. I kinda want one.... but I'd probably just go for the 2.5 S Prefered with the naturally aspirated engine and AWD in either red or all black. Throw some different wheels and tires on it and it'd be awesome!
@@calebwany8422 Agreed. In these lower price ranged vehicles Subaru's AWD is the best. The AWD and their resell value carry the brand. It's just really sad that Subaru gave up on those us who want a little more power in the
Always great reviews- so thorough and knowledgeable. But, I would be lying if I said I was not also drawn to your absolute beauty and your coordinated outfits. :)
great review I never thought about Mazda a before I think it is something to look at,nice choice of lipstick and your top match the car color. Like the car and your outfit is very nice
Nice to see the shifter moves the right way when in manual mode. Some cars it's forward to shift up and back to shift down and that's the wrong way round!
very very annoying tooo it was haerd to get used to it in my mazda 3 its up to shift down and DOWN to shift up wich makes it crazy crazy easy and fun to drive
Lol AND Mazda has their very own tech speck anime cheerleader. Perfect outfit for a Japanese car review. Great job, as always. I love the format of your reviews.
11:54 - Sarah, one of the reasons we appreciate your content isn't because you just love to turn a wrench or three..it's obvious that you love to *drive*. That's why we all do this stuff, right?
I really appreciate how you pick apart the construction of these cars, too many reviewers just reading the marketing brochure at us and I like your insights
I slowed it down around 11:20 to see what the next review car is and Sarah at 0.25x sounds so funny! Like a frat girl explaining cars while really drunk.
There is a lift kit from HRG offroad that will give the CX 30 an extra 1.5 inches of ground clearance. Combined with a skid plate from Corksport and Falken wildpeak A/T trail tires will turn the cx 30 into a serious off roader.
I bought my first Mazda CX5 in 2012 but was a 2013. Fully loaded the only thing I and many complained about was the lack of power from the 2 liter. Almost 160000 Miles later and not one issue I traded it in on a new 2019 loaded this time without all wheel drive now living in Fl. The 2.5 engine made a big difference and 60000 miles not one issue.
Great review. My old cx5 also has unobtrusive Esc. Amazing how much slip it allows. Super well tuned cars. Not convinced of their turbo durability tho..N/A ones are sturdy
I’m pretty much brand agnostic, but three of my last four car purchases have been Mazdas (in fact, I work for another manufacturer). They just seem to be the answer to the automotive question I’m asking at the time. I own three currently, including a ‘90 Miata that I’ve owned for 26 years and which has been a race car for the last 20.
So glad you finally did the turbski version. I have the 21 CX30 and yeah the tires aren't great but I've managed in the snow which this car is great in snow. I'm getting Michellin Crossclimate II tires to replace the stock tires this year. I have almost 31k miles on them and they're about half worn but not going to make another winter so it's time to move on.
I think Mazda builds the best driving cars outside of Germany. It's too bad more people in the US don't give them a shot. Maybe if they did, we'd see more of them with a manual trans. From the ones I've owned, they're just as reliable as any other Japanese car.
Agree 100 percent!
I've owned a couple of 3's. I drove both of them until they literally fell apart. They held up as well as any Toyota, IMO.
Mazda is massively underrated. So fun to drive. I have a 2020 CX-30 and it’s always pleasurable to drive.

I have the same experience in northern Ontario. I have to remind myself to be careful in winter storms because it seems invincible

227hp and 310lbft on 87 octane from a turbo 4 banger is NUTS considering that's literal diesel levels of torque.
After owning a CX5 turbo for 2 years this engine really likes premium fuel more than the regular. Also helps keep the carbon build up minimal.
I think carbon build up is what's ailing our 2018 cx-9, 60k miles gently driven but idles just a teensy bit rough. Wife always puts 87 octane in it.
@@technical19d34 The valves are supposed to be cleaned every 30k miles, so you likely have some buildup.

Sarah does not ordinarily call out other TH-camr videos, especially explainer videos. Not that I would expect any of Jason's video would be anything less than exemplary, but because Sarah called it out, I feel I must go watch it. Very high praise.
Just the greatest content creator and the hardest working ! Much respect ✊
very well presented technical data on the mazda.just bought the 2023 mazda cx30 turbo premium plus,so exciting to drive and pretty to look at.
I have a '21 TPP and it's been such a great little gremlin. Glad you enjoyed it :)
The long awaited review of the Mazda CX-30 Turbo, very nicely done, Sarah. Cheers!!
I really like these little cars. I kinda want one.... but I'd probably just go for the 2.5 S Prefered with the naturally aspirated engine and AWD in either red or all black. Throw some different wheels and tires on it and it'd be awesome!
Turbo and a traditional transmission make this a no brainer in my book. Take note Subaru. Thanks Sarah.
Subaru makes it's own way through the marketplace, and their increasing sales reflect that. Take note.
@@eskieman3948 their standard AWD really carrying them
@@calebwany8422 Agreed. In these lower price ranged vehicles Subaru's AWD is the best. The AWD and their resell value carry the brand. It's just really sad that Subaru gave up on those us who want a little more power in the
Always great reviews- so thorough and knowledgeable. But, I would be lying if I said I was not also drawn to your absolute beauty and your coordinated outfits. :)
great review I never thought about Mazda a before I think it is something to look at,nice choice of lipstick and your top match the car color. Like the car and your outfit is very nice
My daily is a cz-5 (2016) with a 6 speed manual. Modded a little, and great for hauling kids and still having a fun drive.
Coffee time 😊Sarah is working 😊🇦🇺😋
Nice to see the shifter moves the right way when in manual mode. Some cars it's forward to shift up and back to shift down and that's the wrong way round!
very very annoying tooo it was haerd to get used to it in my mazda 3 its up to shift down and DOWN to shift up wich makes it crazy crazy easy and fun to drive
Lol
AND Mazda has their very own tech speck anime cheerleader.
Perfect outfit for a Japanese car review.
Great job, as always. I love the format of your reviews.
I was waiting for to review the turbo. I knew you would love it. I am buying the turbo, and I am a Subaru fan, too.
11:54 - Sarah, one of the reasons we appreciate your content isn't because you just love to turn a wrench or three..it's obvious that you love to *drive*. That's why we all do this stuff, right?
Absolutely stunning in red and the car ain't bad either
I really appreciate how you pick apart the construction of these cars, too many reviewers just reading the marketing brochure at us and I like your insights
"OK" when the brakes grab. The best surprise reaction when braking. 😊
Sarah gives the value added insight 16:13.
I slowed it down around 11:20 to see what the next review car is and Sarah at 0.25x sounds so funny! Like a frat girl explaining cars while really drunk.
Very detailed review. This is how it's done.
Best outfit this year
So far. There still is a lot left of this year....
love it!
The outfit matches perfectly the car 👌
There is a lift kit from HRG offroad that will give the CX 30 an extra 1.5 inches of ground clearance. Combined with a skid plate from Corksport and Falken wildpeak A/T trail tires will turn the cx 30 into a serious off roader.
Nice match: Mazda colour, your lipp gloss and your top! You are my favourite car reviewer (and car rebuilder!) of the internet!
Another stunning outfit from your wardrobe. The Mazda was nice too.
I like your channel i like the way you review the cars with comparison with other vehicles with a honest look
I bought my first Mazda CX5 in 2012 but was a 2013. Fully loaded the only thing I and many complained about was the lack of power from the 2 liter. Almost 160000 Miles later and not one issue I traded it in on a new 2019 loaded this time without all wheel drive now living in Fl. The 2.5 engine made a big difference and 60000 miles not one issue.
I'm not mad at all with mazda and the recent offerings. Great review 😊
The CX-30 Turbo is my FAV Mazda crossover!
Thank you for the review Sarah, look forward to these.
Love your content
My dad’s CX-50 Turbo Meridian is also hilariously fast. My wife’s CX-9 is also quick on its feet.
Currently I own the CX-5 turbo but looking to buy a cx-30 thx afor the review very helpful🙂
Just curious, did you not like the CX -5 ?
I kind of want to know this answer also. The CX-5 has a way more sophisticated rear suspension, and way more cargo space too.
Great review. My old cx5 also has unobtrusive Esc. Amazing how much slip it allows. Super well tuned cars. Not convinced of their turbo durability tho..N/A ones are sturdy
I’m pretty much brand agnostic, but three of my last four car purchases have been Mazdas (in fact, I work for another manufacturer). They just seem to be the answer to the automotive question I’m asking at the time. I own three currently, including a ‘90 Miata that I’ve owned for 26 years and which has been a race car for the last 20.
always nice to see you sarah you make my day
Nice to see a video that isn't just another boring review, great job Sarah!
So glad you finally did the turbski version. I have the 21 CX30 and yeah the tires aren't great but I've managed in the snow which this car is great in snow. I'm getting Michellin Crossclimate II tires to replace the stock tires this year. I have almost 31k miles on them and they're about half worn but not going to make another winter so it's time to move on.
I brought a 2021 Mazda 3 Manual. My first manual and I'm in love with it.
Sahra YOU DID IT, you have performed the most interesting TEST of a MAZDA CX30 AWD I've ever seen.....Go ON doing like Here, congratulations ! 😊
Excellent review, once again! Thank you Sarah!
