One thing worth mentioning is the CX-30’s crash rating. Mazda holds a patent (with Sumitomo Metal industries) for the strongest ultra high tensile steel in the automotive industry. They first used the Samurai sword inspired steel sparingly in the first CX-5 but in their later models they have used a lot. The fact no other car company can use the same steel is showing. The CX-5 was the only car to pass in the IHSS recent revised side impact. Meanwhile the CX-30 is the first and only vehicle on sale in Europe since EuroNCAP’s 2009 testing revision to receive a 99% for frontal occupant safety putting it slightly ahead of the Mazda 3, which in turn is just in front of the Tesla Model X. This means the CX-30 beats out everything every other car manufacturer makes.
5:45 Mazda updated the CX-30 to do exactly what you specified. This is marked as “Releasing the parking brake automatically” and just requires all of the following to activate: The engine is running. The driver's door is closed. The driver's seat belt is fastened. The selector lever is in the D, M, or R position.
Fellow ‘21 Mazda owner here! Mine’s a 3 hatch with a 6-speed! Been super happy with it and your videos were part of my choice! Manual is no Civic Si manual but still feels pretty good and it’s been easy to learn as a new stick driver. Revs drop really naturally with the NA 2.5, and much prefer its power delivery to a 1.5/1.6T. The parking brake thing is actually kinda handy with the stick, tho. Drove mine from San Francisco to Seattle and it was a great highway cruiser. Super quiet, nice safety tech suite (manual still gets radar cruise!) and I averaged 37 mpg. Totally with you on the infotainment/cabin simplicity. Just a few months and I’m already super used to it, tho my center console and airbag cover also have a few scratches.
@@garrettw99 THANK YOU! I hear so many reviewers bitch and whine and complain about “the AnCiEnT, dAtEd, oLd 6 SpEeD aUtO” when Mazda still programs it beautifully and it returns competitive (if slightly lower) performance and fuel economy. Also means it doesn’t gear hunt all the time like a 9 or 10 speed. Could an 8-speed deliver better 0-60 and mpg’s? Sure. But the Mazda 6-speed auto is still perfectly fine for getting the job done.
I know I'm getting old when someone expresses appreciation for the "simplicity" of a car's infotainment system that takes "just a few months" to get used to.
Hey Topher. To answer your question about the automatic parking brake, you have to turn the ignition on, hit the Auto Hold button, and then push down the Parking Brake switch for at least two seconds (or longer) until a sound is activated. Hope this helps! P.S Love your videos man, keep up the amazing work!
I have the base model with awd and i love it. It is very practical for me and is much better in the snow then my 97 corolla was. It's not a sports car or my dream car but it is sporty to drive. Since i drive alone i don't really care about rear legroom.
These videos are really great, man. For those of us who would have a hard time getting out for a test drive, it really gives you the basic experience of driving the vehicle. The noise reduction at speed alone is selling this car to me. Glad to hear you and your wife are enjoying driving it. Would love to see a comparison vs. the Hyundai Kona!
I drove a Kona and a turbo cx30 and a non turbo cx30, I will be picking up my preferred package CX30 in Oct, OK the Kona took it out for a test drive and immediately returned it to the dealer, for some reason it just didn't feel right, maybe because I drive like this guy and it was the turbo model, it had the 1.6 Ltr motor and I don't think it would last too long with that turbo on it. BTW the milage on the turbo CX30 is only about 1mph less than the non turbo, problem is it's such a blast to drive you won't be able to stop punching it so you won't get the stated milage. OK peace out
This is the same weird "issue" on my 2016 lexus as well as my brand new 21' honda... my wife will drive it on memory setting 1 , i use memory setting 2. whenever I drive either car and press #2 and it adjusts, the moment I shut the car down and start it up again, it will revert to memory setting #1 and I then have to wait for the entire start up ordeal to finish before going to my #2 setting. I wish the cars would just stay on the memory button it was last on...
hey people! i have a ‘22 Mazda CX-30, and it seems like Mazda fixed that issue where it reverted from setting 2 to 1. i usually use setting 2 to sleep (since i sleep in my car in my lunch breaks or whenever i want to close my eyes for a bit), and even if i turn my car off, it stays on setting 2 until i press the setting 1 button.
Aalrite now Yuuus arguing 'th smtng called memory seat settings. Really? There is war going on in Europe and ppls dying + all d other probs in d world. You cannot find perfect automatic setting of d seats of Your car and arguing about it. Hmmmm..... Hard life? No? 🍭
The Topher rules 💯 They say that it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. Seems like this might be the case for this vehicle. I learned to drive way back when on a Mazda 626 coupe 5 spd MT (rwd) - was fun to whip around on dirt farm roads.
I just bought a CX-5 Turbo a few months ago as a future family car, and the cramped interior specs were exactly what sent me away from the 3 and CX-30. Enthusiasts can whinge about cars getting big, but rear-facing seats really require space back there. There are some exceptions like the Civic and Elantra that seem to do it right, but it can eat into the trunk space and (at least in my situation) when you're packing for trips, more people, or also carting dogs around, it's just not realistic. I'm still mad there's no 6 wagon, but your shot of the rear seat going past your seats in the middle is the kind of thing that makes me glad I sized up. You helped steer me in the direction of Mazda, so thank you for the content!
The CX-5 Turbo might be a little too tiny for american families. From what i gather, you should buy an enormous tank for your trips to the mall, when you have a single baby. The CX-30 is barely bigger than a motorcycle in terms of space, i get it....
its funny when I was a kid we had a tiny plymouth horizon for 4 kids..this is luxury compared to when i was a kid. i love your reviews you really take the cars to their limits and explain things very well.
Regarding the memory seat, memory on your car seat (i.e. slot 1 and 2) are independent from memory to your keyfob, which means for each keyfob you have you will get an extra memory slot. Typically, (say your the main driver) you would want to match your slot 1 on your car to your keyfob so that when you unlock your car your seat will automatiaclly adjusted to your seating position (hence eliminate the issue you have when you unlock the car and it keeps adjusting to previous memory setting). To do that you just have to position yourself to your seating position and press hold [SET] and then [1] until your hear *beep*, then you would wanna press [SET] and press hold unlock button on your keyfob until you hear *beep* once again and now your seating position 1 and your remote position should sync up (note that every time you wanna make changes to seating memory you would have to repeat these step)
I owned a Mazda 626 for nearly a decade and then a Mazda 3 hatchback for another 6! I loved both of them for nearly every drive. The family couldn’t fit in the 3, so we went to a Wrangler, but Mazda does such an incredible job!
I’ve had a 2020 Mazda 3 for and a year and a half now, love the car, 18k miles running strong, just wish I got the one with headed seats and the Bose audio
Hey Quandtimus how much did you get your mazda for? My dealership is trying to sell me the CX-30 select for 30K and I’m trying to see if that’s a good deal
Bought a mazda cx-5 touring a few months back, and even though it's almost a base model, still super happy with it. Mazda has really stepped up their game
I can confirm the 1 and 2 memory positions are independent of the keys. You effectively get four memory positions (per key, per number) So suggest storing temporary memory on a number and regular one on your key
One thing I like about your videos is that you give honest reviews. You're expressive about things that would annoy you, no matter how little. I don't like to be told something ppl think I want to hear. When I pick out my first car, these videos will help me make a choice!!!
I appreciate your remarks comparing - from a real-world, daily-driver perspective - the naturally-aspirated 2.5l to the turbocharged model, and whether the difference in performance is really "worth it." For me, it seems not.
I just got me a 2020 nissan versa sv. All glory to god!!!!!! I orignally wanted a toyota but i'm grateful, this car ended up being perfect for me. In the future i'd love to "upgrade". I have videos on my channel of the process of getting my car, car tour, decorate my car with me etc.. i like watching this kind of videos!
I have the 2020 GT AWD model (Canada) and my only gripes about it are the small fuel tank, no 360 camera and awful OEM Bridgestone Turanza tires. I've read it on a few forums but some people seem to have a bit of distortion in the windshield glass that I can see but only from a very specific angle. Other than that, I'm absolutely happy with my CX-30.
The tank size situation on the turbo is abismal. People getting 280-320 miles 100% highway and 180 city. They really should've added a few more inches to the 3 hatch to get at least 14-16 galons.
14:05 I had a 2018 Crosstrek and traded it for the 2021 CX30. I miss the space the Crosstrek has but I love how it drives. Even my dad that has a 2020 WRX loves how the CX30 drives.
For the memory settings they keys settings are independent to the 1 and 2 you can set on the door. So you hit set and then hold unlock on the key to set the memory for that keys position and its independent from what you set to 1 and 2.
I have a 2021 CX-30 AWD w/ the N/A 2.5L 4-cylinder and I do like it, the way the car drives makes driving more enjoyable then it used to be. I agree with all of your complaints about the car too although I haven’t had any chips on the glass so far. The CX-30 is definitely not a family car but more a 2+2 vehicle
I’ve driven both. The civic hatchback is quite a bit roomier. Not as “premium” (previous gen) as the Mazda. I looked at upper trims on both. Bought the civic and have loved it
I have a 2018 Crosstrek Touring. I also have a 2018 Honda CRV Touring. The CX30 interior is leaps and bounds beyond both those cars. The Crosstrek has stellar AWD and LED headlights that turn. The CRV is actually pretty nice over all but does not have as nice of an interior as the CX30 either. Those 2 cars are the top of their lines. The CX30 is levels above at any trim level.
I have a '21 3 sedan. As for the parking brake as long as your seat belt is fastened you just put the car in gear and drive off. The parking brake will disengage automaticly.
Well put together my friend, your review is spot on. Im a new owner of the 3 hot hatch since last month. Ive also noticed the windshield being easily chipped as well as the paint being on the thin side and chips easily. Cant wait to see what mazdas gonna do with the vision concept..
We're seriously considering a 2023 CX-30. It just seems to provide the most 'bang for the buck.' I had been considering a Toyota, Honda or Ford; however, the local inventory for those manufacturers is just scarce with prices inflated much higher than MSRP.
I just bought my first Mazda 2014 iTouring fun vehicle. I think this brand is slept on by the general public. Agree or disagree? If you agree, why do you think that is.
@@houseofhas9355 Marketing may be part of it and I think the dealer network is another. Mazda’s dealer network is much smaller than, say, Honda or Toyota. In some areas, like LA metro where I got mine, there are plenty of Mazda dealers, but in other areas, a Honda or Toyota dealer is more likely to be nearby when a Mazda dealer is like an hour away.
The keys and the buttons have different seat memory settings (there are 4 in total), so yes, memories do have to be set up for the button and the key, or you could just set it up with your key.
Windshields seem to be made super cheaply these days. All my old cars from the early 2000s still have their first windshields with minimal chipping. And then all my cars from 2015 and newer have almost all had their windshields replaced. I have 2 3rd gen Mazda 3s and they both gets chips and cracks easily. It seems Toyota also has cheap windshields.
I've got a manual Cx30 in Europe, shame that you don't get it in US but since your market is almost all automatic, I understand that decision from a smaller manufacturer as Mazda. Their manual is glorious, such a delight to use. Ah well, off to a drive we go again :P
If the braking brake automatically sets every time you park and you drive through slashing snow there's a possibility of it freezing over night. I know when I lived in the north we didn't set parking part during winter,
We used to have a 2013 cx5 and 2015 Mazda 3. We changed to a 2018 crv and a 2021 Honda Accord. I always wanted to go smaller but it would never work out for the 4 of us. They’re now 13 and 10 so I can’t go small till they have their own cars. 😏
hey man, just came across this video since i have a 2022 CX-30 turbo, and i’m glad you’re loving it! i noticed that in my Mazda, the parking brake disengages every time i move into drive or reverse, which is pretty nice. my old ‘21 CX-30 base model has the same issue as yours, but it seems like they changed it in this lineup. take care!
Agree completely with your comment about the auto trans 12:15 Savagegeese and the car nut guy (both have mechanic components in their reviews) have often said it’s best auto on mainstream vehicle. But Mazda really went to town on it ensuring it was quick, direct in feel and economical avoiding CVT at all costs. It has a lock up clutch to ensure it can change gears quickly removing the notion of a slush box from what would otherwise be a slow fluid coupling in a torque converter Mazda make easily the best mainstream manual too putting the MX-5 short shifter style into MX-30 mainly in the UK though Re cross trek…. CVT means you need to be both patient in how unresponsive it is and deaf because it can squeal (particularly when towing). Ironically when a CVT is working as it really should, it should be making you hit quite high rpm Both Subaru and Mazda are small but they have very different takes on what they do. Mazda is more refined and a drivers car. They’re also best in an accident
Would you say the CX-30 gets close to the 3 in terms of handling or is the 3 still better? I’m eyeing this or a Mazda3, but I’m also thinking I’d want a taller car so I can see slightly better and have a bit more tire sidewall.
Size comment… so the problem isn’t the car but the niche choice in car seat. We use an isofix (UK) 360 car seat (that rotates) and there’s plenty of room for me (6ft) in the front passenger seat.
Great work on the video! Your initial CX-30 Turbo review helped me decide on which car to buy when I was moving. I now have a CX-30 Turbo of my own in Canada. Would take it over a new X2 or Mercedes GLA (Still hideous btw) anyday. Only real complaint I have is that I can't pop the trunk unless in park with the parking brake on and all doors unlocked. Other minor nitpicks are that the rear end tends to clatter over rough pavement a little too much for my liking and that the Canadian model doesn't get a 360 degree camera or front parking sensors (I think they're available on US CX-30 Turbo premium and premium plus trims, should double check this though). Either way great personal ownership experience review here and keep up the quality reviews! 👍
Yes you are right here in America we have the option to get the front and rear parking sensors. I have a 2020 CX 30 premium and I have had air-conditioning issues since the first day, first it would begin to blow warm air with the Aceon every time I would accelerate and then when I let go of the gas pedal the cold air will come back after taking you to get your mini times they finally said there is a software upgrade which eliminated the issue however after that issue was taken care of the vehicles air-conditioning system was not able to keep up with California heat. I have never been comfortable in my car neither have my passengers it just doesn’t get cold enough like a CX5 Mazda3 Or any other type of Japanese car. After taking the car to the dealer about 7-8 times they replaced the main onboard computer thinking that would solve the issue however ever since they did that sometimes when I have the air conditioning on it will start blowing anything out of the vents and now sometimes when I turn the heater on it also stopped blowing anything out of the vents, so I am curious if you have ever experienced my issues?
@@rrange no issues like this with mine, however I agree that the A/C Core is a little weak, although I can tolerate it just fine even in the Toronto heat.
It actually has 4 memo seat 2 for button and 2 for your 2 keys (reasoning is you or your wife can use different key to unlock it and have different seating position ready)
Been looking at this vehicle too. Rear leg room isn't that big an issue for me. But the meh fuel economy combined with the small fuel tank (which now AWD is standard for 2022 so the small size is really your only choice) is making me 2nd guess. Might just get a Civic HB instead.
I compared this with the civic hatchback. Ended up buying it because I’m tall and felt cramped in the Mazda. The interior on the Mazda is very nice. I love the Honda Civic HB sport touring l except for the road noise. I hear the new gen is better though
These cars aren't hatchbacks anymore, they are liftbacks. They actually blatantly admitted it with the new Acura Integra liftback which has the exact same body as the Civic 'hatchback' I have no idea why they still call them hatchbacks. In the Mazda forum a 2nd gen owner said his dogs would happily ride in the back of his hatch and he got a new 4th Gen 'hatch' and his dogs can't stand up anymore in the back.
If I didn't have a family, I would have bought the Mazda 3 instead. The CX30 is a good compromise between practicality and fun, especially with a manual gear box (which is available in Europe). The micro-hybridation we get also get rid of the lack of power at lower revs.
Wouldn't it be better to wait a little bit and replace CX-30 with CX-70? European version of it (CX-60) as a plug-in hybrid should be available around middle of 2022, so it should be possible to buy CX-70 around the same time.
This is basically just a slightly raised Mazda3. Everything else is basically the same, including dimensions and most features. But imo the Mazda3 looks better and I prefer the ride height of the Mazda3 as well. And of course the Mazda3 has optional manual and slightly cheaper. 13:32 seems like he picked slightly higher ride height over the manual since he could have bought the Mazda3 manual if that's what he wants.
Mazda has to offer more adjustability as far as drive modes in the future to compete, at least something between sport and normal. A lot of people don't use sport because it holds revs too high when cruising but want the throttle response.
And while they're at it, we need a eco mode or a snow mode with deadened throttle response. Ever try to drive a car with an ultra touchy gas pedal in snowy and icy roads? It's stressful, I'll tell you that.
How is the rust? I watched your original video describing the Krown rust inhibitor application process and wanted to know. I have a 2018 Mazda 3 that still hasn't been rust protected, so would love your take!
I would double check if using latch system in the middle seat is ok. Most of the time you aren’t suppose to “borrow” the latches from either side like that due to geometry issues. Only a handful of cars have 3 sets of latches in the back seat.
What is your current odometer? Is it mainly city driving or is there some highway in there too? Has the avg mph dropped at all? What octane gas do you put in it? Do you have an update on the undercarriage? In one of your earlier videos, you mentioned that you had undercarriage protection put on around 800. I drive in northern climates as well (MN) and I am interested in what you did there.
Current mileage is 16,600, it’s a pretty even 50/50 mix of city and highway driving. About 25 miles/trip. Undercarriage is perfect a year after the krown rust proofing, would definitely recommend a thin oil-based coating for those in the salt belt.
Thanks for your video. I am between a crosstrack and a XD-30. The only thing that annoys me about the crosstrack is the outdated interior- come on Subaru.
I saw a video where if you put on the seat belt when you get in the car, break to start the car, and then press the accelrrator, the break will disengage.
What about paint quality? I have a 2020 Mazda 6 grand touring reserve and find that the paint chips extremely easily. Otherwise love the car, but am a little disappointed at how easily the paint gets damaged. Both by rock chips or anything brushing up against it.
I never figured out the details of it, but if you're willing to explore reddit and the owners manual, I heard Mazda did make a way to permanently disengage the automatic parking brake. I was going to try it on my soon-to-be CX30. Thanks for the great video!!
Are you sure it has active noise cancellation? It should have been advertised somewhere. Audiopilot is noise compensation only, by increasing the sound volume.
What do you think about the new CX-50? It looks like a combination of the CX-5's more spacious interior and the CX-30's newer tech. I loved the CX-30 overall, but it's just too cramped and its rear visibility is awful. The CX-50 fixes almost everything. However, I am torn between the CX-50 and the unreleased CX-70, which will be RWD based with an I-6 engine. Ughhh
It's a pity you don't get the Mazda 6 wagon in Canada. That would be ideal for your needs and preferences - everything you love about the CX-30 with a heap more space.
Yes, PLEASE bring back some affordable, reliable sport wagons. So tired of the overpopulation of SUVs. The wagons have the same, if not more, amount of room for all your gear as SUVs but way more fun to drive. Cheers
Speaking as an auto glass technician I should say that your windshield is not weaker. All windshields are the same. The reason you have more rock chips on this car than any other car that you've had, is simply because you've gotten more rock chips. Rock chips do not average themselves out over time... You can do a decade without getting a single one, and then get five in a month. The other reason you might be getting more rock chips is simply the angle of the glass.. if the angle of a windshield is egg shaped like a minivan, then the rock will hit an angle and half the energy will deflect, if on the other hand you have a Jeep Wrangler, where the windshield is basically a wall, all the energy of the rock will be absorbed into the glass. Every model of car takes a different shape of windshield, each with its own little unique angle.. also because of the height of the vehicle above the road, you will get more or less rock chips depending on how much of your windshield is driving through the sweet spot of typical rock trajectorys... Also a lot of vehicles have bigger windshields than other vehicles, and the more glass you have , the more glass there is to break.
If you want a Highlander Hybrid, do yourself a huge favor, get the nicest 2011-2019 with the V6 that you can find. I swear the build quality is better in the older ones, and the V6 is 100% worth the less fuel efficiency by virtue of it's refinement, smoothness, and muted throaty growl while driving. Just my 2 cents.
We test drove the CX-30, CrossTrek and Seltos. ...we picked the CX-30 Carbon Edition. We drove CrossTrek first, came away thinking that was going to be our car. But the moment we took the CX-30, it wasn't even close. The fit and finish, the ride and comfort, all heads and shoulders above the other two. ...the only thing that's keeping Mazda from owning this segment, is the lack of a "touch screen" with their infotainment system. I heard their argument, and it's just nonsensical stupid justification. We look at the LCD screen more, dialing through menus, where we could just reach over, swipe, push a button and be done. They can keep the display elevated, so your eyes are higher, and not looking down into the car. I totally agree with this. But not having a touch screen makes it much more fussy than it needs to be. When Mazda finally realizes they need to change that idiocy, they could own the CUV segment. The CX-30 is a phenomenal car otherwise. Especially if you're single, or this is a second car. We have a Honda Pilot for the big family hauler, and now the CX-30 to drive to work, and a little grocery getter around town. It's also going to be the car I use to haul my canoe on long trips up north ending in gravel and dirt roads to remote lakes. The long trips is a big reason I preferred the CX-30 over the CrossTrek - more comfortable for longer drivers. Can't wait for ice out... :)
@@ChicagoBulls1984 - I’m 6ft. plenty of room in the front seats. I can easily sit in the back with my front seat placement. I don’t feel cramped in the front seat, I’ve seen that term used in some reviews, I feel cozy. My wife said “it feels like a nice warm blanket”. Lol. …it’s perfectly comfortable and everything is in easy reach. Mazda killed it with this car. The more I drive it, the more I like it. I want to touch upon this one last part one more time, being that I’m here…. While the lack of a touch screen infotainment system is likely what’s going to prevent some people from buying this car, the system Mazda uses is much ado about nothing. Doesn’t take much to get used to. I’m a photographer, have switched from Nikon to Sony to Fuji back to Nikon over the years. Each menu system was different, and every fanboy user complained about someone else’s menu system. It really never takes more than a couple of days getting used to it. In fact, the navigation in the menus is really well thought out, and easy to navigate. You’ll find shortcuts here and there as you use it and play with it. It’s kinda uncanny how they placed those dials in the exact location where you rest your arm, and the hand just falls into alignment.
здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста какой лучше автомобиль выбрать Mazda которая на обзоре, Mazda mx-30 basis 2020г, Skoda Octavia scout 2021г, Audi A6 2021г ? Какой будет легче обслужить ?
i love how mazda does their interiors, it looks modern and classy at the same time
Mazda interiors are really nice! even if you had cloth seats, they feel really nice and they hug you right in. i’m happy that Mazda is doing ok now
@@marlonmalave7098also the build quality is just amazing, i’d say its on a little bit bmw level

Really good point on the parking brake and manual trans. If only they programmed the parking brake differently for the automatic
The automatic is also a 6 speed...
@@buildmorefarms1007 it’s a good 6 speed. Holds revs, shifts smooth and relatively quickly. At least it isn’t a CVT

Hey Topher. To answer your question about the automatic parking brake, you have to turn the ignition on, hit the Auto Hold button, and then push down the Parking Brake switch for at least two seconds (or longer) until a sound is activated. Hope this helps!
P.S Love your videos man, keep up the amazing work!
And what does this do?
What does this procedure do?
@@Jykobe491Probably turns off the auto parking brake when the car is turned off. At least Thats similar to how I turned it on a Civic and Accord.
I just noticed that the speedo leaves a little red trail when you're going over the speed limit, that's pretty neat. Haven't seen it in other cars.
Its a BMW thing, i have it on my X5. I believe it was introduced in 2015 when BMW Introduced their digital gauge cluster
I thought that was only occurring when he was in front of a stop sign it would illuminate a picture of a stop sign on the dash
I just bought a Premium cx 30 and pick it up next week. Still watching videos because I'm SO excited! Am happy to hear your thoughts after a year!
Just got mine so far impressed
how do you like it so far
I have the base model with awd and i love it. It is very practical for me and is much better in the snow then my 97 corolla was. It's not a sports car or my dream car but it is sporty to drive. Since i drive alone i don't really care about rear legroom.
I want a CX 30. Great thing about your videos, as a Western Wayne county resident, I always recognize the roads you are driving.
I have a 21' CX30 in California, I really like it, very responsive in Sport mode. Bose 12 speaker stereo sound great. Average 26 mpg
These videos are really great, man. For those of us who would have a hard time getting out for a test drive, it really gives you the basic experience of driving the vehicle. The noise reduction at speed alone is selling this car to me. Glad to hear you and your wife are enjoying driving it. Would love to see a comparison vs. the Hyundai Kona!
I drove a Kona and a turbo cx30 and a non turbo cx30, I will be picking up my preferred package CX30 in Oct, OK the Kona took it out for a test drive and immediately returned it to the dealer, for some reason it just didn't feel right, maybe because I drive like this guy and it was the turbo model, it had the 1.6 Ltr motor and I don't think it would last too long with that turbo on it. BTW the milage on the turbo CX30 is only about 1mph less than the non turbo, problem is it's such a blast to drive you won't be able to stop punching it so you won't get the stated milage. OK peace out
I own a 21 Mazda3, and you're right about the memory seats. If you don't want them to revert, you need to program them to the corresponding keyfob.
This is the same weird "issue" on my 2016 lexus as well as my brand new 21' honda... my wife will drive it on memory setting 1 , i use memory setting 2. whenever I drive either car and press #2 and it adjusts, the moment I shut the car down and start it up again, it will revert to memory setting #1 and I then have to wait for the entire start up ordeal to finish before going to my #2 setting. I wish the cars would just stay on the memory button it was last on...
@@henlolneh are you both using the same key? You need to use the driver 1 and driver 2 keys to correspond to the memory settings.
@@henlolneh owned a 2017 RDX, same issue
hey people! i have a ‘22 Mazda CX-30, and it seems like Mazda fixed that issue where it reverted from setting 2 to 1. i usually use setting 2 to sleep (since i sleep in my car in my lunch breaks or whenever i want to close my eyes for a bit), and even if i turn my car off, it stays on setting 2 until i press the setting 1 button.
Aalrite now
Yuuus arguing 'th smtng called memory seat settings. Really? There is war going on in Europe and ppls dying + all d other probs in d world. You cannot find perfect automatic setting of d seats of Your car and arguing about it. Hmmmm.....
Hard life? No? 🍭
The Topher rules 💯
They say that it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. Seems like this might be the case for this vehicle. I learned to drive way back when on a Mazda 626 coupe 5 spd MT (rwd) - was fun to whip around on dirt farm roads.
I just bought a CX-5 Turbo a few months ago as a future family car, and the cramped interior specs were exactly what sent me away from the 3 and CX-30. Enthusiasts can whinge about cars getting big, but rear-facing seats really require space back there. There are some exceptions like the Civic and Elantra that seem to do it right, but it can eat into the trunk space and (at least in my situation) when you're packing for trips, more people, or also carting dogs around, it's just not realistic. I'm still mad there's no 6 wagon, but your shot of the rear seat going past your seats in the middle is the kind of thing that makes me glad I sized up.
You helped steer me in the direction of Mazda, so thank you for the content!
The CX-5 Turbo might be a little too tiny for american families. From what i gather, you should buy an enormous tank for your trips to the mall, when you have a single baby. The CX-30 is barely bigger than a motorcycle in terms of space, i get it....
6 wagon (6 estate) is available here in asia. But since there r many bad roads crossovers make more sense.
its funny when I was a kid we had a tiny plymouth horizon for 4 kids..this is luxury compared to when i was a kid. i love your reviews you really take the cars to their limits and explain things very well.
Regarding the memory seat, memory on your car seat (i.e. slot 1 and 2) are independent from memory to your keyfob, which means for each keyfob you have you will get an extra memory slot. Typically, (say your the main driver) you would want to match your slot 1 on your car to your keyfob so that when you unlock your car your seat will automatiaclly adjusted to your seating position (hence eliminate the issue you have when you unlock the car and it keeps adjusting to previous memory setting). To do that you just have to position yourself to your seating position and press hold [SET] and then [1] until your hear *beep*, then you would wanna press [SET] and press hold unlock button on your keyfob until you hear *beep* once again and now your seating position 1 and your remote position should sync up (note that every time you wanna make changes to seating memory you would have to repeat these step)
I owned a Mazda 626 for nearly a decade and then a Mazda 3 hatchback for another 6! I loved both of them for nearly every drive. The family couldn’t fit in the 3, so we went to a Wrangler, but Mazda does such an incredible job!
I’ve had a 2020 Mazda 3 for and a year and a half now, love the car, 18k miles running strong, just wish I got the one with headed seats and the Bose audio
Have the 2019, wish I got the heated seats and bose audio too!
Hey Quandtimus how much did you get your mazda for? My dealership is trying to sell me the CX-30 select for 30K and I’m trying to see if that’s a good deal
@@Emily-ln5ko I know this is so late sorry, I bought it with 4K miles on it in September of 2020 for 18k
6:27 Yes you also need to re program it with the key. I noticed that too with my 21 CX-5 Carbon Edition.
Bought a mazda cx-5 touring a few months back, and even though it's almost a base model, still super happy with it. Mazda has really stepped up their game
I can confirm the 1 and 2 memory positions are independent of the keys. You effectively get four memory positions (per key, per number)
So suggest storing temporary memory on a number and regular one on your key
The key works as designed. It mirrors the memory for each key, so needs to be synced.
One thing I like about your videos is that you give honest reviews. You're expressive about things that would annoy you, no matter how little. I don't like to be told something ppl think I want to hear. When I pick out my first car, these videos will help me make a choice!!!
My mom has one of these in the UK with a manual transmission. lovely car to drive
You drive your car on a very easy road.
However you are very talented. He drove skillfully, avoiding obstacles.
You are an example to me too
I appreciate your remarks comparing - from a real-world, daily-driver perspective - the naturally-aspirated 2.5l to the turbocharged model, and whether the difference in performance is really "worth it." For me, it seems not.
I like the infotainment and instrument cluster in this a lot more than what's in the CX5.
I just got me a 2020 nissan versa sv. All glory to god!!!!!! I orignally wanted a toyota but i'm grateful, this car ended up being perfect for me. In the future i'd love to "upgrade". I have videos on my channel of the process of getting my car, car tour, decorate my car with me etc.. i like watching this kind of videos!
I got my for a 6 months now, glad i saw your video before that!
Looking forward to seeing how the CX-50 turns out.
“It is filthy in here”
Proceeds to enter a clean car😂😂
It gives me 1st generation GLA vibes. such a nice car. I thought I was the only who liked the rotary controller.
I have the 2020 GT AWD model (Canada) and my only gripes about it are the small fuel tank, no 360 camera and awful OEM Bridgestone Turanza tires. I've read it on a few forums but some people seem to have a bit of distortion in the windshield glass that I can see but only from a very specific angle. Other than that, I'm absolutely happy with my CX-30.
The tank size situation on the turbo is abismal. People getting 280-320 miles 100% highway and 180 city. They really should've added a few more inches to the 3 hatch to get at least 14-16 galons.
I drove one of these cause I work at enterprise. It was very nice riding, it was pretty darn fun to drive!
14:05 I had a 2018 Crosstrek and traded it for the 2021 CX30. I miss the space the Crosstrek has but I love how it drives. Even my dad that has a 2020 WRX loves how the CX30 drives.
For the memory settings they keys settings are independent to the 1 and 2 you can set on the door. So you hit set and then hold unlock on the key to set the memory for that keys position and its independent from what you set to 1 and 2.
I have a 2021 CX-30 AWD w/ the N/A 2.5L 4-cylinder and I do like it, the way the car drives makes driving more enjoyable then it used to be. I agree with all of your complaints about the car too although I haven’t had any chips on the glass so far. The CX-30 is definitely not a family car but more a 2+2 vehicle
I’ve driven both. The civic hatchback is quite a bit roomier. Not as “premium” (previous gen) as the Mazda. I looked at upper trims on both. Bought the civic and have loved it
I have a 2018 Crosstrek Touring. I also have a 2018 Honda CRV Touring. The CX30 interior is leaps and bounds beyond both those cars. The Crosstrek has stellar AWD and LED headlights that turn. The CRV is actually pretty nice over all but does not have as nice of an interior as the CX30 either. Those 2 cars are the top of their lines. The CX30 is levels above at any trim level.
I have a '21 3 sedan. As for the parking brake as long as your seat belt is fastened you just put the car in gear and drive off. The parking brake will disengage automaticly.
Well put together my friend, your review is spot on. Im a new owner of the 3 hot hatch since last month. Ive also noticed the windshield being easily chipped as well as the paint being on the thin side and chips easily. Cant wait to see what mazdas gonna do with the vision concept..
We have a 2nd gen Mazda 3 and we managed to fit two car seats by buying Britax car seats which are shorter than other brands.
We're seriously considering a 2023 CX-30. It just seems to provide the most 'bang for the buck.' I had been considering a Toyota, Honda or Ford; however, the local inventory for those manufacturers is just scarce with prices inflated much higher than MSRP.
I just bought my first Mazda 2014 iTouring fun vehicle. I think this brand is slept on by the general public. Agree or disagree? If you agree, why do you think that is.
Absolutely agree! Fellow Mazda3 owner here! Mines a ‘21 with a manual, though.
@@williamlong2682 cheers mate! Why do you think that is. Is it lack of marketing?. Or too much hype of other brands.
@@houseofhas9355 Marketing may be part of it and I think the dealer network is another. Mazda’s dealer network is much smaller than, say, Honda or Toyota. In some areas, like LA metro where I got mine, there are plenty of Mazda dealers, but in other areas, a Honda or Toyota dealer is more likely to be nearby when a Mazda dealer is like an hour away.
The keys and the buttons have different seat memory settings (there are 4 in total), so yes, memories do have to be set up for the button and the key, or you could just set it up with your key.
Again, congrats to you and your wife for having a son now~ I'm sure you will be a great father to him~^
Windshields seem to be made super cheaply these days. All my old cars from the early 2000s still have their first windshields with minimal chipping. And then all my cars from 2015 and newer have almost all had their windshields replaced. I have 2 3rd gen Mazda 3s and they both gets chips and cracks easily. It seems Toyota also has cheap windshields.
in europe we do get a manual cx 30 and cx 5 but with a smaller engine, it's a 2.0 liter 4 cyl and with 150hp
Mazda says that they have made the 6-speed automatic transmission to be even more responsive in some of their 2022 cars.
I've got a manual Cx30 in Europe, shame that you don't get it in US but since your market is almost all automatic, I understand that decision from a smaller manufacturer as Mazda. Their manual is glorious, such a delight to use. Ah well, off to a drive we go again :P
If the braking brake automatically sets every time you park and you drive through slashing snow there's a possibility of it freezing over night. I know when I lived in the north we didn't set parking part during winter,
Have you tried holding down the parking brake button to disable the auto on function. That's how you can disable it on Toyota's at least.
We used to have a 2013 cx5 and 2015 Mazda 3. We changed to a 2018 crv and a 2021 Honda Accord. I always wanted to go smaller but it would never work out for the 4 of us. They’re now 13 and 10 so I can’t go small till they have their own cars. 😏
hey man, just came across this video since i have a 2022 CX-30 turbo, and i’m glad you’re loving it! i noticed that in my Mazda, the parking brake disengages every time i move into drive or reverse, which is pretty nice. my old ‘21 CX-30 base model has the same issue as yours, but it seems like they changed it in this lineup. take care!
Agree completely with your comment about the auto trans 12:15
Savagegeese and the car nut guy (both have mechanic components in their reviews) have often said it’s best auto on mainstream vehicle. But Mazda really went to town on it ensuring it was quick, direct in feel and economical avoiding CVT at all costs. It has a lock up clutch to ensure it can change gears quickly removing the notion of a slush box from what would otherwise be a slow fluid coupling in a torque converter
Mazda make easily the best mainstream manual too putting the MX-5 short shifter style into MX-30 mainly in the UK though
Re cross trek…. CVT means you need to be both patient in how unresponsive it is and deaf because it can squeal (particularly when towing). Ironically when a CVT is working as it really should, it should be making you hit quite high rpm
Both Subaru and Mazda are small but they have very different takes on what they do. Mazda is more refined and a drivers car. They’re also best in an accident
Would you say the CX-30 gets close to the 3 in terms of handling or is the 3 still better?
I’m eyeing this or a Mazda3, but I’m also thinking I’d want a taller car so I can see slightly better and have a bit more tire sidewall.
Mazda3 is better. I remember I was impressed when my 3 arrived, while doing the test driver on cx-30.
Size comment… so the problem isn’t the car but the niche choice in car seat. We use an isofix (UK) 360 car seat (that rotates) and there’s plenty of room for me (6ft) in the front passenger seat.
I just bought the 2.0L version with 155 horse power. In my country all models have the 360 cameras as standard feature.
Really liking this Ownership Review style
I love my 2021 CX-30 FWD Premium.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the upcoming CX-50.
Great work on the video! Your initial CX-30 Turbo review helped me decide on which car to buy when I was moving. I now have a CX-30 Turbo of my own in Canada. Would take it over a new X2 or Mercedes GLA (Still hideous btw) anyday. Only real complaint I have is that I can't pop the trunk unless in park with the parking brake on and all doors unlocked. Other minor nitpicks are that the rear end tends to clatter over rough pavement a little too much for my liking and that the Canadian model doesn't get a 360 degree camera or front parking sensors (I think they're available on US CX-30 Turbo premium and premium plus trims, should double check this though). Either way great personal ownership experience review here and keep up the quality reviews! 👍
I like the X2 better
Yes you are right here in America we have the option to get the front and rear parking sensors. I have a 2020 CX 30 premium and I have had air-conditioning issues since the first day, first it would begin to blow warm air with the Aceon every time I would accelerate and then when I let go of the gas pedal the cold air will come back after taking you to get your mini times they finally said there is a software upgrade which eliminated the issue however after that issue was taken care of the vehicles air-conditioning system was not able to keep up with California heat. I have never been comfortable in my car neither have my passengers it just doesn’t get cold enough like a CX5 Mazda3 Or any other type of Japanese car. After taking the car to the dealer about 7-8 times they replaced the main onboard computer thinking that would solve the issue however ever since they did that sometimes when I have the air conditioning on it will start blowing anything out of the vents and now sometimes when I turn the heater on it also stopped blowing anything out of the vents, so I am curious if you have ever experienced my issues?
@@rrange no issues like this with mine, however I agree that the A/C Core is a little weak, although I can tolerate it just fine even in the Toronto heat.
"It is filthy in here"
-Shows spotless car.
It actually has 4 memo seat 2 for button and 2 for your 2 keys (reasoning is you or your wife can use different key to unlock it and have different seating position ready)
I love the look of these cars, just not a fan of the flat black trim on the bottom.. Overall nice ride though!
Nice review! Picking one up in april this year. Can't wait. You were driving that thing like you stole it..😀
What an underrated vehicle
Been looking at this vehicle too. Rear leg room isn't that big an issue for me. But the meh fuel economy combined with the small fuel tank (which now AWD is standard for 2022 so the small size is really your only choice) is making me 2nd guess. Might just get a Civic HB instead.
I compared this with the civic hatchback. Ended up buying it because I’m tall and felt cramped in the Mazda. The interior on the Mazda is very nice. I love the Honda Civic HB sport touring l except for the road noise. I hear the new gen is better though
These cars aren't hatchbacks anymore, they are liftbacks.
They actually blatantly admitted it with the new Acura Integra liftback which has the exact same body as the Civic 'hatchback'
I have no idea why they still call them hatchbacks.
In the Mazda forum a 2nd gen owner said his dogs would happily ride in the back of his hatch and he got a new 4th Gen 'hatch' and his dogs can't stand up anymore in the back.
I love Mazda. I own a 21 Mazda CX30
No music test for the sound system?
If I didn't have a family, I would have bought the Mazda 3 instead.
The CX30 is a good compromise between practicality and fun, especially with a manual gear box (which is available in Europe).
The micro-hybridation we get also get rid of the lack of power at lower revs.
Wouldn't it be better to wait a little bit and replace CX-30 with CX-70? European version of it (CX-60) as a plug-in hybrid should be available around middle of 2022, so it should be possible to buy CX-70 around the same time.
This is basically just a slightly raised Mazda3. Everything else is basically the same, including dimensions and most features. But imo the Mazda3 looks better and I prefer the ride height of the Mazda3 as well. And of course the Mazda3 has optional manual and slightly cheaper. 13:32 seems like he picked slightly higher ride height over the manual since he could have bought the Mazda3 manual if that's what he wants.
Mazda has to offer more adjustability as far as drive modes in the future to compete, at least something between sport and normal. A lot of people don't use sport because it holds revs too high when cruising but want the throttle response.
And while they're at it, we need a eco mode or a snow mode with deadened throttle response. Ever try to drive a car with an ultra touchy gas pedal in snowy and icy roads? It's stressful, I'll tell you that.
@@clover7359 I haven't had any issuesn in snow or ice tbh. I don't think I'd want less throttle response than it does now
How is the rust? I watched your original video describing the Krown rust inhibitor application process and wanted to know. I have a 2018 Mazda 3 that still hasn't been rust protected, so would love your take!
Zero rust right up until we sold it for our Highlander 12 months later 👍
My cousin have one, his has a manual transmission.
He loves it.
I would double check if using latch system in the middle seat is ok. Most of the time you aren’t suppose to “borrow” the latches from either side like that due to geometry issues. Only a handful of cars have 3 sets of latches in the back seat.
What is your current odometer? Is it mainly city driving or is there some highway in there too? Has the avg mph dropped at all? What octane gas do you put in it? Do you have an update on the undercarriage? In one of your earlier videos, you mentioned that you had undercarriage protection put on around 800. I drive in northern climates as well (MN) and I am interested in what you did there.
Current mileage is 16,600, it’s a pretty even 50/50 mix of city and highway driving. About 25 miles/trip. Undercarriage is perfect a year after the krown rust proofing, would definitely recommend a thin oil-based coating for those in the salt belt.
Thanks for your video. I am between a crosstrack and a XD-30. The only thing that annoys me about the crosstrack is the outdated interior- come on Subaru.
I have a 2023 mazda 3. No parking brake issue. They must have updated the system
I saw a video where if you put on the seat belt when you get in the car, break to start the car, and then press the accelrrator, the break will disengage.
Hi, are you selling this via the private sale? Can't find anything on your Instagram page.
What about paint quality? I have a 2020 Mazda 6 grand touring reserve and find that the paint chips extremely easily. Otherwise love the car, but am a little disappointed at how easily the paint gets damaged. Both by rock chips or anything brushing up against it.
I have a 20’ CX-30 to compliment my BMW M240i in the garage. I actually think the steering feel in the mazda is better lol.
The memeory seats actually have 4 memory settings. One per button on the dash and one per key.
Can you wait for the CX-50 for the replacement maybe?
I have one same year and color and I love it
I never figured out the details of it, but if you're willing to explore reddit and the owners manual, I heard Mazda did make a way to permanently disengage the automatic parking brake. I was going to try it on my soon-to-be CX30. Thanks for the great video!!
You’ll have to let us know if it works!
The quietness may due to the BOSE active noise cancelling technology which is pretty good i would say!
Are you sure it has active noise cancellation? It should have been advertised somewhere.
Audiopilot is noise compensation only, by increasing the sound volume.
What do you think about the new CX-50? It looks like a combination of the CX-5's more spacious interior and the CX-30's newer tech. I loved the CX-30 overall, but it's just too cramped and its rear visibility is awful. The CX-50 fixes almost everything. However, I am torn between the CX-50 and the unreleased CX-70, which will be RWD based with an I-6 engine. Ughhh
It's a pity you don't get the Mazda 6 wagon in Canada. That would be ideal for your needs and preferences - everything you love about the CX-30 with a heap more space.
Yes, PLEASE bring back some affordable, reliable sport wagons. So tired of the overpopulation of SUVs. The wagons have the same, if not more, amount of room for all your gear as SUVs but way more fun to drive.
Cheers
I agree with you about the windshield glass
Are you an Tedward the same people? You guys sound so much alike
Speaking as an auto glass technician I should say that your windshield is not weaker. All windshields are the same. The reason you have more rock chips on this car than any other car that you've had, is simply because you've gotten more rock chips. Rock chips do not average themselves out over time... You can do a decade without getting a single one, and then get five in a month. The other reason you might be getting more rock chips is simply the angle of the glass.. if the angle of a windshield is egg shaped like a minivan, then the rock will hit an angle and half the energy will deflect, if on the other hand you have a Jeep Wrangler, where the windshield is basically a wall, all the energy of the rock will be absorbed into the glass. Every model of car takes a different shape of windshield, each with its own little unique angle.. also because of the height of the vehicle above the road, you will get more or less rock chips depending on how much of your windshield is driving through the sweet spot of typical rock trajectorys... Also a lot of vehicles have bigger windshields than other vehicles, and the more glass you have , the more glass there is to break.
If you want a Highlander Hybrid, do yourself a huge favor, get the nicest 2011-2019 with the V6 that you can find. I swear the build quality is better in the older ones, and the V6 is 100% worth the less fuel efficiency by virtue of it's refinement, smoothness, and muted throaty growl while driving. Just my 2 cents.
Wish the backup camera would be the whole width. Also looked dim. I am excited for the CX 50 :)
I like Mazda, but the dealer network is just too small. I have zero dealers in my area.
We test drove the CX-30, CrossTrek and Seltos. ...we picked the CX-30 Carbon Edition. We drove CrossTrek first, came away thinking that was going to be our car. But the moment we took the CX-30, it wasn't even close. The fit and finish, the ride and comfort, all heads and shoulders above the other two. ...the only thing that's keeping Mazda from owning this segment, is the lack of a "touch screen" with their infotainment system. I heard their argument, and it's just nonsensical stupid justification. We look at the LCD screen more, dialing through menus, where we could just reach over, swipe, push a button and be done. They can keep the display elevated, so your eyes are higher, and not looking down into the car. I totally agree with this. But not having a touch screen makes it much more fussy than it needs to be.
When Mazda finally realizes they need to change that idiocy, they could own the CUV segment. The CX-30 is a phenomenal car otherwise. Especially if you're single, or this is a second car. We have a Honda Pilot for the big family hauler, and now the CX-30 to drive to work, and a little grocery getter around town. It's also going to be the car I use to haul my canoe on long trips up north ending in gravel and dirt roads to remote lakes. The long trips is a big reason I preferred the CX-30 over the CrossTrek - more comfortable for longer drivers. Can't wait for ice out... :)
Hows the headroom for a 6 ft person?
@@ChicagoBulls1984 - I’m 6ft. plenty of room in the front seats. I can easily sit in the back with my front seat placement.
I don’t feel cramped in the front seat, I’ve seen that term used in some reviews, I feel cozy. My wife said “it feels like a nice warm blanket”. Lol. …it’s perfectly comfortable and everything is in easy reach.
Mazda killed it with this car. The more I drive it, the more I like it.
I want to touch upon this one last part one more time, being that I’m here….
While the lack of a touch screen infotainment system is likely what’s going to prevent some people from buying this car, the system Mazda uses is much ado about nothing. Doesn’t take much to get used to.
I’m a photographer, have switched from Nikon to Sony to Fuji back to Nikon over the years. Each menu system was different, and every fanboy user complained about someone else’s menu system. It really never takes more than a couple of days getting used to it. In fact, the navigation in the menus is really well thought out, and easy to navigate. You’ll find shortcuts here and there as you use it and play with it. It’s kinda uncanny how they placed those dials in the exact location where you rest your arm, and the hand just falls into alignment.
