@@inhumandescent my apologies, the B-roll footage (film of the car driving along from the outside) isn’t filmed by me, that’s all done by Mazda UK, which I take is filmed in Beachy Head.
I have to agree with you on the mazda brand front Sam, the designs and cars lately are spot on. I've found similar with some of the hybrids I've driven, the power delivery doesn't punch and throw you into the seat like you'd expect it to, its an odd driving sensation, it goes well but doesn't feel like it. Great job on the review pal 👍
I have owned and driven automatic cars for many years, but, having driven the CX 30 auto and manual versions back-to-back, I have to admit that the manual version is a much better drive. The auto makes this car's performance seem far more mediocre, sedate even, than it , in reality, is.
Bought one to be delivered this week
How are you finding it? I picked mine up a few days ago and I'm wondering why I've been spending so much on German brands in the past.
Filmed at Beachy Head near Eastbourne - my home town - would have been great for you to try out the rear seats ;)
It was filmed in Horsham, completely different area 😂
See 4:20 that’s Belle Tout at Beachy Head!!!
Didn’t know there were cliffs in Horsham ;)
And 5:10 you can see the sea!

I've driven a few other mild-hybrids with less power, and they seem to pick up better. Thanks for the comment Eddie!
I'm confused with this review. It states reviewing a 2021 grey e skyactive X, but your drivin a 69 plate, which have the first skyactive X engine?
Filmed and published in 2021.
I think the automatics transmission is a CVT, I think I know how you feel about that Sam 😅 but so love the design on this car
Manual all the way!
Automatic is a 6 speed torque converter.
