2024 Mazda CX 30 - Bargain Luxury
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 дек 2023
- There are a lot of things that don't make sense to us. The 2024 Mazda CX 30 is one of them. How can a vehicle that looks so nice and be so powerful be priced so well? Not only that, it is actually fun to drive! Well, this week on Hood Slappers, Jared and Colleen take a look at the 2024 Mazda CX 30 and find out how Mazda did it. There were a few changes for Mazda's 2024, and in this review you will find out what those changes were, but also get a pricing breakdown, feature breakdown, and be given a real and practical rear seat test. There is no messing about here.
Mazda brings a level of luxury to their lineup that nobody else does. Remember, Mazda doesn't have a luxury division, so they are more generous with their features, materials and styling quirks. In the Mazda CX 30 GT that we review here, we give it a good test drive to see if the hype is real.
So come join us this week as we review the 2024 Mazda CX 30 and see if we can make sense of it.
*Thanks to Forbes Waterloo Mazda for letting us review this 2024 Mazda CX 30*

I bought the Mazda base model CX-30 S 2.5 AWD Engine, cloth upholstery bare to the bone model without all the bell and whistles, like a turbo engine, heated seats, remote controlled liftgate, leather trimmings, moonroof, and all the extra comfort trimmings that can add to $36,000. I paid $24,900 for a base model. I have no regrets whatsoever!!
I test drive the cx-5 and the cx-30, and frankly they both drive the same. The driving dynamics, excellent handling on turns and curves, city traffic maneuverability, comfort, and drive on both models are practically the same; except the gas mileage and price, which the cx-30 excels over the cx-5. Yes, the cx-5 is much roomier, but not by much. I am a tall medium build guy, but I still feel very comfortable in the cx-30 cabin. The cx-5 while definitely more spacious, it is at least $5000 more then the cx-30. I am loving my cx-30 more and more each day; it is a very comfortable, safe, and fun car to drive, and a great value overall!!
Thanks for sharing. That’s great feedback. We are actually reviewing the CX-5 soon, se we will put your comment to the test.
Thanks again mate.
And the CX-30 has better Breaks than the CX-5. You can stop it from 100-0km/h in 33,9m!!!!! I know it because these Breaks saved my Life on January 26 when i met a Ghostrider on the Street!!!!
Thanks so much for that. I'm so torn between the CX-30, CX-5 and the CX-50. I have always loved the CX-30 but being 6'1" I'm afraid of the lack of leg room.
@@MH-vw9ni I am 183cm. that´s over 6foot I think. I have enough space for me. If you want more Space please wait some months with the deal and look at this car. Renault Symbioz. It´s the same size like the CX-30 but you have more Space inside and for luggage. 492L up to 1582L. And in the back you can extend it from 492 upt 592L!!!! It´s this car i mean:ruclips.net/video/0H-P4BBASrs/видео.html It will come in September to the Dealers here in Europe!!! i am waiting only for this Car. It´s an Fullhybrid!!! 4,6L for 100km in WLTP!!! CX-30 has 5.7L with the Skayactive X-Motor. Please wait until next Year than will we also get the new CX-5 with Fullhybrid Motor maybe from the RAV-4 with 212HP and also 4.7L for 100km!!! There is much more Space for you in the CX-5. My predecessor Car was the CX-5 but it was to great for me.
Thx for sharing !
Will go this saturday to sée one and same approach liké you : base model, family daily, that will take the miles, in Bad weather, winter ... for a second sporty car I would like and keep for decades.
Which motorisation did you take ?
After owning and driving sedans for 29 years, I had a change of heart for SUVs and bought a 2023 CX-30 Turbo Premium last week. Buying my new Mazda was NOT a mistake at all. It has more than plenty of "get up and move" acceleration and is more comfortable for road tripping than the small and mid-size cars I used to own. The cramped back seat space doesn't bother me at all. I'm single with no spouse nor children, so it works great for me.
Can we create a Tinder profile for you? :) Just kidding. You are absolutely right though. Especially when coming from a sedan world, this is the next best thing. It's still compact and drives so well. You didn't make a mistake, you made a great choice mate. Have fun!
Haha. Love the wit in this video! My wife and I are a young couple (with no kids yet) who are involved in a lot of outdoor activities. We hike, bike, camp and take day trips. We were looking for second vehicle to replace a Ford Explorer that we gave to a relative. We did a lot of research. I was initially looking at a Toyota, Honda, Subaru or even Ford. I also considered some entry-level luxury brands. However, the Mazda was a better value in terms of what came standard even at the lower trims. Our trim came with soooo much in terms of engine power, safety features/ratings, AWD along with some surprising premium features.
However, the most interesting factor came in speaking with other vehicle owners. I didn't really hear people complain much about Honda or Toyota (apart from the Corolla Cross's and CHR's lack of horsepower). Subaru owners were highly enthusiastic about being highly enthusiastic. However, I noticed that Mazda owners of the CX-30 were highly enthusiastic for the vehicle that they purchased. Even when I considered vehicles on Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, etc., Mazda owners just buzzed about how much they LOVED their purchase. So, given the higher horsepower/torque, standard features (such as the sound, safety, interiors, etc.), no CVT, etc., it just felt like a good value.
So, I took the plunge and ordered a 2023 CX-30 -- in Platinum Quartz Metallic -- earlier this year. When I finally got it (in the Silicon Valley in Northern California), I was surprised. It was the first time that I actually sat in one. I admit that there was a size adjustment (having used a Ford Explorer). We have been so impressed! I have been happy with my purchase every time I've driven it. This vehicle is great in the mountains, rain, snow, dirt, off-road camping, etc. It's not a large SUV. In fact, I would argue that it is more crossover than SUV. It's fun to drive and just looks great (and elicits plenty of compliments). I feel the premium value every time I drive it.
Holy Moly! You went from an Explorer to a CX-30?!? Well we understand the size adjustment then.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We always enjoy hearing from viewers with their own personal experiences. This is great stuff.
Mazda did a fantastic job on the CX 30. Everything you said is right on the money. You didn’t have to purchase a luxury vehicle to feel the quality. It is actually fun to drive other than many other small SUVs. I bet you are enjoying the change in the amount of fuel you are paying too. :)
All in all, you made a great choice. Keep enjoying it. Have a Happy New Year.
You enjoy what you do and it shows! Keep up the good work😎
Thanks a million. And another thank you for watching and saying hello. We appreciate the support but are even happier that you enjoyed the review. Have a great week ahead
My six month driving the cx-30 base model; and loving it! for a single professional like myself it is ideal! no complains about fit and comfort for a 5'11'' 163 lbs guy like myself. It is quick and responsive in both highway and city driving.
This is fantastic. Thanks for keeping us in mind and presenting your feedback. This is great stuff.
Enjoy it it! We would love to hear more as you continue to drive.
Thanks guys! keep it up i like your reviews, just subscribed.
Oh man. Thanks so much. You are very welcome and welcome to Hood Slappers.
Good Cx-30 review, I agree with you guys.
Pros: Mind boggling bang for the buck value (power, interior, steering feel, base AWD and 2.5 liter engine). Best value in the segment by a mile.
Cons: What blind spots? Basically a Mazda 3 interior so kinda cramped.
Almost feeling like Mazdas losing money on these to get bigger market share, and its working! Compare it to Corolla Cross, Crosstrek, HRV, etc, it's so much better.
Oh man, Mazda is putting big bucks into some of these newer vehicles. They still offer decent base trim, but their top trims are some of the nicest in any non premium brand.
FYI, it will take up to 3 tanks of premium gas for the ECU to adjust and give the increased horsepower, per the manual.
Thanks so much for sharing. Three tanks is definitely out of the budget for us, but we appreciate your insight. Thanks for watching.
Great content, keep it up!
Hey thank you so much for checking us out. Hopefully you either learned something or had a laugh. Either way, we appreciate you saying hello.
I have a 2012 Mazda6 that I've NEVER had any issues with, so I'm shopping for a new Mazda. This was fun and helpful. Basically no one ever sits in my backseat (ew, kids lol), and I like the vibe of a short subcompact SUV, so this is basically perfect.
Thank you so much. Cards on the table, this was actually a fun drive. If you’re coming from a Mazda6, there is no reason you won’t enjoy this. Every SUV claims to be fun to drive, but this one actually is.
Thanks for watching!
My friend just bought the 3 row Mazda and that thing is nice! The interior of this vehicle looks like a smaller version of the same thing, which is a very good thing. Mazda has started to get it's poop in a group now that they are divorced from Ford. The size seems to be in a weird space between a compact and a sub-compact vehicle. The rear seat room is really quite sad as you guys illustrated quite well. Red-Headed Brad's observation that it would be for retired people seems about right; a couple that occasionally dives around their grandchildren. Brad though buddy... pineapple and bacon is the greatest pizza known to man, it's only competitor is pepperoni and mushroom.
Pepperoni and Mushroom over Pineapple any day! Thanks for watching Bleatmop. Always great hearing from you mate. You’re spot on, Mazda has turned a new page with their design and it’s being taken quite well.
As for the back seat, it is tight for adults. We are sad to say, the chips didn’t make it. They were all crushed for the most part.
Thanks again for watching. We love the support.
I have the 2020 GS model which I have owned for about 3.5 yrs now with not a single problem. Same colour as your video. Enjoy the touch free display, takes a bit of getting used to, but far easier to use without taking your eyes off the road and far safer. Enjoy the power of the 2.5L non-turbo engine and 6-speed transmission, get great fuel economy. Purchased this over the Seltos due to the nice interior, engine and transmission. Got the aftermarket hood struts so I don't have to bother with the hood prop, which really annoys me.
Nice choice. We absolutely loved it. That screen takes some getting used to, yes, but once you get the hang of it, we almost prefer it.
Thanks for sharing and for saying hello. Keep on enjoying your CX30. The funnest driving small SUV we have driven.
love you guys
Thank you so much. We are glad you said hello.
Love your video
Thank you so much.
Good review and I think this will likely be my next car (non-turbo mid trim though) to replace my current CX-3 (still wish they sold it here in Canada though)
As for the back seat complainers, what do I care, I'd hardly be back there. A kid can fit in there though for young families and people in other countries get by with much less and smaller cars.
Besides, most people drive alone 90%+ of the time.
On the otherhand, as much as I like the CX-30, my heart belongs to the MX-5 Miata 🥰
We completely agree. The demographic of this car won’t be using the back seat much anyway. It’s perfect for its target demographic. You will enjoy it no matter the trim you choose. But the Miata. That vehicle has a special place in Heaven. Legendary.
Thanks for watching.
The Apple CarPlay is wireless in Canada on the higher trims for 2024 models.
You are correct. We showed it while driving the vehicle. We like how it becomes either touch screen or you can still use the toggle.
Thanks for watching. Love RUSH. How many times have you seen them live?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Nice. I saw them 9 times. First concert was way back in 1991.
@krom9897 holy cow. That’s fantastic. A band like no other. Nice guys too.
Thank you for the video. It's entertaining to watch. It looks nice on the outside but..... I can see a few problems inside after watching your video.
Hey thanks so much. We are glad you enjoyed it and we are thrilled you could take something away from the video. Hopefully it helps with your decision.
Have a great day
I love these Mazdas-- hope they never f..d it up trying to get too fancy.... I'm seriously thinking of getting one of these.. or a CX-50 (kind of torn because I love the STYLING of the CX-50)
Both are great. Mazda is is doing just enough to make their vehicles brilliant in design. We did review the CX-50 as well. If you’re ever bored, go check it out.
Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial AGREED- Mazda is BRILLIANT in everything they're doing- another point making me lean toward them..my issues is- CX-30 or CX-50 as I really like the styling of the CX-50 and the fun and feel of the CX-30..
Are Canadians the only ones that say Mazda like mad, or map? Instead of like mom or mop
@@maxxbenzz7842 Don't know--- doesn't matter to me. By spelling- you're CORRECT.. the O sound over an a- is an asian thing... from JAPAN-- as in karate Pronounced Kah- rot ee... instead of kay rate!! which would be correct by english- so doesn't really matter as long as we know what you're talking about. AND it's a GORGEOUS car either way- no matter which of them you're looking at.
I just didn't know if I was mispronouncing it. Not being a dick
Does it have cylinder deactivation?
Very nice video! Could you guys share how tall you are? Grandma is 5’4” so I think she might be comfy on the back seat? 😂 thanks!
Grandma will be absolutely fine in the back seat. Colleen is about 5’6” and Jared is 5’11” tall, not long. :)
yall are hilarious 😂 this made my day
Aww. Thank you so much. Well, now you made our day. Thanks for watching and for saying hello. It means a lot.
Especially the pronunciation of Mazda😂
@kerryoaki8681 again with the pronunciation of Mazda? Ha
Can cylinder deactivation be turned off in the base model? Thanks.
According to our Mazda experts, the answer is no. It can not be turned off.
Our question to you, is there a reason you wouldn’t want it operational?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Potential wear and tear on the cylinders. Yes, I know the computer rotates which cylinders are on/off, but I remain cautious. Besides, didn’t Mazda temporarily remove that feature due to some problems? I’d also read online that the turbo version does not have this feature. Is that true? Thanks again.
We appreciate your feedback. That's good stuff to consider for sure. Thanks for sharing Jon.
Buy a US model maybe, the US models don't have "i-stop" (stop/start function) or the cylinder deactivation. Settings allow the flipping between C/F and KM/Miles.
@@jonboz7585 Turbos don't have it, non-turbos have it. Personally, I wish I had gotten a turbo to avoid it because it's very noticeable. Only had my CX-30 for 6 months and cylinder deactivation has ruined my driving experience. And yes, it was recalled for exactly the problems I'm experiencing in my 2023. AVOID.
Issue with phone calls. Microphone volume is so low people cant hear you on other end. 2024 CX-30 Sport bought November 25.
Really? Very interesting. Did you bring it by for Mazda to have a look?
Waiting for my plates to come in and get it looked at.
We would be very interested to hear the results. Thanks again for sharing.
I bought a new 2024 CX30 2.5 S Premium non turbo in Soul Red Crystal on April 1st.
So many things about it that I like and the performance and handling is miles above my previous car which was a 2014 Kia Sportage.
However there are some WTF moments as well with the Mazda. How can you have a really nice beautiful backup camera like the CX30 has and yet there is no beep or warning of any type when you back up? Even my Kia has that and it is a base trim level. Also, the lack of little storage cubbies and other things is a little bit disappointing. The center console while nice is just a big gaping hole and anything you throw in there you will have to dig around to try to find it. I purchased a tray insert that sets in the top and has some divided areas for common things you might want to carry around with you on a day-to-day basis.
Also, I wish the opening where you reach to close the door had a bottom in it instead of it just being an open space. That's another area where you can easily put some stuff in there that you might want to grab quickly like some quarters to pay a toll or some mints or gum or whatever It's just a real handy spot to grab quickly from the driver's seat. So, I also ordered some aftermarket plastic cups that just drop into those openings and give you that little bit of storage space. I realize there is a little flip down storage area on the left side of the dash but that's so small that it's almost like they put it there just as a place to store your keys. Which maybe that is exactly what it was there for.
As far as some of the features, if you're going to put wireless charging into your vehicle you should make sure that it at least works. I have had nothing but problems in the short time I have owned a car with the wireless charging. It constantly overheats. After doing some searching on the internet it would seem that I'm not the only one who has that problem. And it is also something that goes back a few years. So Mazda why haven't you fixed that?
Overall though it is a fast peppy car that is fun to drive. And isn't that what Mazda has always been about? It was a great idea for Mazda to put that 2.5 SkyActive G engine in it this car.
This is great. Thanks for the real world experience. Stuff like this is always appreciated and hopefully finds its way to potential buyers. Thanks for the comment.
I noticed when I test drive the CX 30 is, the poor rear blind spots,
We always say that blind spots are a factor based on muscle memory. Once driving it for an extended period of time, the areas to look at when changing lanes will be second nature.
The mirror warning lights really help for this.
I got the base model and installed my own blind spot mirrors and I feel much more confident now. During my test drives, I had similar concerns. With the select models and above the blind spot monitoring feature seems good enough but I like being able to visually see what's behind me at any time
@@JamesVanCleaf Thank you for the information. I will install blind spot mirrors. Same here I like to see what's behind me.
Does it have a real transmission or is it a CVT?
Great question. Mazda is one of the few Japanese brands that are using a traditional automatic instead of a CVT. The CX-30 in particular has a 6 speed automatic.
These look and drive way cool! Fabulous interior. The only factor that keeps me from pullin the trigger is the black plastic on the wheel well… I wonder what Ernest would think? 😂
See that’s a great point. Black plastic over wheel wells cheapens a look. More trim levels with that option, or additional packages. Matching colour rocker panels and wheel wells are so nice.
Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial The OTHER factor is the elephant in the room- HYBRID! Every vehicle sold here in California should have a hybrid 😂.
YOU are like ME - NOT a small guy-- so how does it work for YOU? That helps me see what I'd feel in it. I'm researching now- and will be going to do the actual drive after I get all the info I can from on here.
Our advice would be try it yourself. There is no getting around it, it was tight. The good news is that I would never sit back there. ;)
I'm pretty big, 250 pounds and im comfortable driving it, but obviously with big puffy coats and everything it's about like driving a sedan/corolla.
@@athropos Good to know- THANKS.
Pineapple on pizza is awesome! The Hawaiian, with Canadian bacon, olives and pineapple = great! Try it, you'll like it!
Just purchased a CX-50 instead of the -30. Only reason: golf clubs. They are nearly identical in drive and interior design, just more cargo space. Oh, and get off Nickelback!!!!!!
Haha. Sorry. We thought that might ruffle a few feathers putting Nickelback in there.
Thanks for watching. Great point about the golf clubs. That’s a huge consideration to a lot of car buyers.
Have a great day
I love my 2022 Mazda CX-30 Carbon Edition & it's been a 100% problem/issue free experience now for the almost 2 years that I have owned/driven it. It is borderline criminal though that Mazda didn't also black-out the front/side chrome trim & silver roof rails on this vehicle, since it looks so much better that way considering all that black cladding (I did that to mine & more aftermarket with some black satin vinyl wrapping). I have most of the various tech features turned OFF though on my CX-30 (don't need/want them) & have no desire to connect or use my smartphone with my vehicle (it stays in my pocket while I drive & is ignored). Back-up camera & blind-spot monitoring is about the only useful "tech features" IMO.
Agree with safety. The crash avoidance system barely works.
Thanks for your insight. It is nice to hear from owners sharing their experience. The chrome issue is funny though. The blacked out chrome would look amazing in that colour. Great choice. Chrome is hit and miss.
Thanks for watching.
Personally, my favorite feature in my 2023 CX-30 is the adaptive radar cruise control. I live and work in the Silicon Valley. We also take road trips nearly every weekend. I've used radar cruise control in other vehicles; however, Mazda's just works so much better than most of them. I've tested it to the point where I didn't break in sudden congestion. It works (i.e., slows and/or brakes) every time. I've even tested it at a sudden brake and it did so (although I was scared to even test it). The lane-keep assist isn't particularly groundbreaking; but, it works as well as the Toyota and Ford (imo). I've read rumors that an update to the lane-keep assist might be coming to even some of the recent year models.
I'm thinking if getting one how many miles you put in it
CX30 and Google Pixel Owners...I think we are family 😆
Ha. Now why is that??? Thanks for watching.
I bought 2024 CX90 3 months ago.
Hey that’s awesome. We reviewed that in the summer. What a great vehicle. We loved the cork on the dash as a shout out to Mazdas roots. If you have time, take a look.
Thanks for watching. Have a great new year
Sorry, last minute 6:22. Was hoping we just talk about the vehicle by this time.
Always leave them wanting more. Thanks for watching
Recorded horizontally,:)
Haha. No comment.
I am looking for this car as a daily cause I need to protect a second sport car and avoid that one from eating to many miles / year. Value for future !
It seems this mazda has everything ! Good engine (not the turbo one) for reliabily and longitivity + simplicity for maintenance/tco ! comfort, good upgrades from last years (toyota level). So wait and see !
Maybe this mazda + the other one 😎👍🍾
Thanks for watching. You can’t go wrong with a Japanese Engineered car. Mazda is is great brand with some fun designs and ride quality. But let’s forget about all that. What’s the sports car?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Il will be an alfa Romeo Giulia quadrifoglio. I go go Mazda tomorrow. I will see their models and if I can get something good AT the correct Price, it will do it. But I am sad at the same Time if I have to Say goodbye to my RS3 🥂🙃
Let us know how it goes.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial
I go and sign the purchase of a New Mazda 2024 facelift CX5 this Tuesday. Homura machine grey manual 2.0L 163HP.
I have decided to keep my RS3 as well. I will make it like new (small paint repair, and full shadow black look (wrapping).
@xtadeus4777 very cool. Enjoy it! We know you will. :)
I think I'll get one of these instead of the CX-50 and LIFT it-- and put the offroad tires on it-- (wild peaks or nitto ridge tires).. Might get standard engine and have a SUPERCHARGER installed- (much better for the engine reliability and endurance-- as they create almost NO heat- and the boost is gentle and is through the entire range of pedal-- no lag- and will give almost the same mgp).. MUCH better..
Blimey!!!! If you do that, can we review it?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Still trying to decide- and it will be late Spring this year-- so depends on wht's left for me to get in the 2023 line- I don't like some of the design changes for 2024... but YES- if I end up with it and do that- SURE. I've spoken to my 20+ friends all over the country that are MASTER mechanics- some RACE pros- and others and they all say YES- it would be MUCH better. One guy on here did a Mazda 3 already- first in the US!!! He's run it for over a year and says it's GREAT- almost same MPGs, and the boost is "gentle"-- and NO issues AT ALL.
@davidwayne9982 it’s nice to have friends in those positions to help with these choices.
2.5 is crazy for that size of car
It goes like stink.
I would prefer the black or maybe dark brown terra cotta interior.. do NOT like white or red interiors.. I'm alone- so I couldn't care less about the space in back- will NOT be hauling passengers.. at all- well maybe ONE- that will be beside me infront.
The odd person in the back is fine. If that’s the case, this is a great unit.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Well, as I said, Im alone-67 and won't be out that much and if I DO have anyone with me it would only be ONE person- beside me. so I'm liking this more all the time- even though the STYLING of the CX-50 is kinda calling me pretty good too.
@@droiddevx03 Why? too cramped!!!
How tall are you two for reference?
Great question. Jared is 5’11” while Colleen is 5’6”.
We hope this helps! We suggest trying it yourself too.
Thanks for watching.
Nickleback platinum album LOL
It’s true though. No? Ha
Thanks for watching.
What's a GT Turbo? Not very encouraging to take these guys seriously with that mistake.
Doug, thanks for the comment but please note that not every country uses the same trim level names. Here in Canada, we have a GT Turbo. If you’d like, we can share the features and details that are specific to that trim. I hope this clears your mistake.
Thanks for watching.
Mahhhh zda not myazda. Great video though.
Must be a Canadian thing. :)
Thanks for watching.
hmmm. ok, with the 60 40 back seats folded down can a grown man lay down and sleep in the cargo hold? I'm looking for a cheap overlanding vehicle, this would be perfect if I could fit my 6'2" frame in the back to sleep whenever I wanted. 😉
We insist you go to a Honda dealer, ask them, and insist to try it. Once finished, please let us know how it goes over. Haha.
@HoodSlappersOfficial Honda? I'm not getting your drift.
if I could afford a pilot or 4 runner I wouldn't have a problem obviously.
Our apologies. We meant Mazda.
@HoodSlappersOfficial it's OK, I'll still watch your channel, no harm no foul. keep up the good work 👏.
@Boogenhagen100 thank you so much.
They didn't make it for large people! I thought it is clear.
It was my big coat!
Mazda cares about driving dynamics. And decided to go upscale. Folks building Mazdas have been doing in a long time so they are well screwed together.
And welded together. Hopefully it’s not all screws. ;)
Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great week ahead.
Doritos got free ad
Should we ask for free Doritos? That would be fantastic.
Push button start is a feature?😂 what car doesn't have that now?
You’d be surprised! Thanks for watching.
The Ford Maverick
Checkmate. Ha.
I have a CX-30 Turbo Premium. I love this car. I could give a you know what about the back seat comfort. You guys didn't mention your respective sizes, but you both appear to be bigger than average people, so I would never consider putting you in the back seat. The front two seats are where the comfort is. I view it as a performance crossover, not a utility vehicle. That's why my other car is a Subaru Outback.
Performance crossover is a great way to describe it. At least for the Turbo. Having that extra loser makes a huge difference in the CX-30.
Thanks for sharing.
I think it was made for ppl like me 4’11 😅
I don’t know. Even at 4’11” those seats are a wee bit tight. :)
Thanks for watching.
I'm 5'10" and fat, I fit in fine but it took a couple times to figure out the best way to get in. Make sure you have the seat where you want it.
Great insight. Thanks for sharing. How fat are we talking here?
325 or so, losing it is a slow process.
Yea? Good for you mate. Slow is still progress. Maybe you’ll encourage Jared to do the same. :)
Thanks again for watching. Best of luck on your journey.
I'm SICK of all the- have to be NEW every 2 minutes.... I think when you get a GOOD thing going- KEEP IT until it no longer sells THEN change it-- a LITTLE.
That’s exactly what Mazda is doing. Bloody brilliant.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial AND I love the screen is mostly NO TOUCH- and that is a safely feature most of the reviewers are MISSING-- I towed for years in Cali- and 87% of the accidents I worked were CAUSED by some fool messing with a screen (big one or phone) and after you clean up some wrecks where little kids or babies are killed- you start to really HATE these and any fool that messes with them WHILE DRIVING. they need to be made so they DO NOT operate while the vehicle is IN MOTION.
@davidwayne9982 some screens are voice activated. This helps eliminate some of the screen time while driving.
Too bad the fuel economy sucks so hard, she's pretty. Also, I like Nickelback, and Pineapple on Pizza. 😊
Whoa whoa whoa. You can’t like Nickelback and Pineapple on Pizza. It’s one or the other. Ha.
Thanks for watching.
Bargain?? These things start at $25 k!
Ya kidding me?
These days for a small SUV, it’s a bargain.
Just show the car, those little jokes are not working
Bless your heart.
I can’t with all these corny jokes, bye Guys good luck with your channel. You’re going to need it.
Bye Cheryl. Thanks for watching.
Y'all are cute...and you are built Ford Tough!!!
Thanks? Haha
Would be MUCH better with NO stupid moon roof at all-- and in fact they should be OUTLAWED in cars... they're just a hole in the roof that weakens the structure for safety and will always LeAK eventually... and are NOT needed in any way.
We appreciate the comment and appreciate your viewing. Truthfully there are a lot of features that aren’t needed, but more so wanted. Things like heated seats, touch screens, massaging seats etc. They aren’t for everyone, that’s why automotive brands offer different trim levels.
As for the moon roof being outlawed. Keep in mind, the roll over crash test is the most difficult to pass through the IIHS. A lot of brands can not put in the much wanted panoramic roof because of the strict standards. So, for a vehicle to pass with a pano roof is a huge achievement. The standards aren’t lowered by the testing agency, the vehicles are made stronger by the manufacturer. We would advice looking up safety ratings when purchasing a vehicle.
Thanks again for saying hello.
4:30 uh, excuse me?!? 😳 family show here..
Haha. We were careful to say knees. Thanks for watching.
There is no such thing as a 2024 Mazda CX-30 GT Turbo. The 3 turbo trim levels are Carbon Turbo, Premium, and Premium Plus. The carbon level comes in a unique paint and seat coloration, but no HUD or other premium features.
It depends on where you are from. Here in Canada, we definitely have a CX-30 GT Turbo, and it’s fantastic.
Thanks for watching.
stop commenting on pineapple on pizza
Never!!!!
Pineapple on pizza is disgusting
Cold Hard Facts. :) Thanks for watching.
Strongly disagree - pineapple on pizza is good.
Well, obviously we can’t be friends, but we do appreciate you watching and commenting. :)
I heard this too. Hmm
Is that thing a tad small for you? You don't look super cramped being a bigger guy
It’s just a big coat. ;)
Traffic… it looks like they live somewhere in Washington or Oregon doesn’t look like Los Angeles traffic to me or New York traffic 😂 I have a Mazda CX30 and I love it ❤
Focus on the car not on the faces.. Too many irrelevant off topic subjects .
Thanks for watching.

Everyone loves corn! :)
Couldn’t watch this. Looking for a no-nonsense review. This is all-nonsense. Tried to watch but this presentation is too annoying.
Can you try a little harder please? :)
Thanks for giving us a shot.
Kinda Cringe ngl
We are middle aged. What more do you want? :)
Thanks for watching though. Have a great day Ngl.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial na all other car reviews are dull and car sellsy, y’all got it right
Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoy them. :)
...cuz it's made in Mexico.
We spoke to someone who is from Mexico. They said that having a job at an automotive plant was so hard to get into, and pays so well, that the employees in Mexico work extra hard to keep their job because it’s so good. Plus, Mazda still has quality checks. Just a thought. :)
Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial your response is respected but maybe placed in the wrong context. I was not shitting on Mazda's Mexico plant. The initial message of your video was "how is this good car so inexpensive?", well the CX-30l is assembled in Mexico for the North American market with lower costs to counter the strong Yen/weak Dollar exchange, as many manufacturers do to avoid import tariffs. That's all what was meant.
Other automotive manufacturers also have plants there for a long time as well, so it's nothing unusual, and quality seems to be on par. Kaizen is real.
@awaketoliberty ah! Ok. That makes sense then. We are so often told the quality is an issue from Mexico that we just assumed you were going down that road. Thanks for clarifying.
Made in mexico. Hard pass
But Tacos are made in Mexico. You can’t tell me you would pass on tacos too.
😂 the constant mispronounced "Maazda" just take me out of it. Sorry.
No problem at all
All the "humorous banter" isn't good. Not funny, even in an ironic dad-joke way. Just stop. It makes the video hard to watch.
Yikes. Thanks for watching.
No worries. It’ll take more than an edited comment from someone named vampire squid with three “likes” to stop us from doing what we love. For every comment like that, we will always find more like yours. Good looking out. We appreciate the support Anonymous.
