Seriously, this is the most sensible review of the CX-30 I've ever watched. You reviewed it the way Mazda's are designed for. Mazda's are designed to be driver-centric. It's meant to be enjoyed, to be DRIVEN. Mazda's don't go with crazy power, but adequate to get the business done with acceptable consumption. A Mazda of this size is not meant for a growing family; a starting out, may be, so don't expect ample rear seat space. I see a lot of reviewers scream and shout about the rear seat space. Can't they judge it for the purpose it was designed for? Anyhow, Sarah, thanks for a most sensible review.

Exactly!! It's not meant for a family... just one person who occasionally might have someone in the backseat... or like someone said if you have a dog (which this car is basically me) and do the occasional not so hard-core off roading... if they want a family they should go to the cx5 or cx9

Meh...The Crosstrek has always managed to have decent rear legroom. It just needs to offer the 6spd with the 2.4T...or the Crosstrek with the 2.4T.

I bought this car with the 2.5 Turbo trim and its by far one of my favorite cars I've ever owned! So much fun to drive. I look for excuses to take it out!

I love how Mazda was able to cleverly lift an existing platform (which is quite good in it's own right) and get a very, very competitive "CUV". I think this actually makes more sense than most of the CUV's in the market. Great Review!

@Just think What about the CX-5 is terrible? They are very comfortable, they don't feel number, like a lot of other CUV/SUV do, and it actually looks nice. They are a smaller company, that has a smaller market share. While they have had to adapt to a changing U.S. market, they continue to offer innovative engines, and stayed focus on driving engagement.

Pretty sure they were referring to the generation 4 Mazda3. I personally think the gen 4 Mazda 3 made a few mistakes compared the gen 3. They made it lower, going from 6.1 in ground clearance to 5.5. MIght not sound like much, but if you're a car person living in a snowy area, you want that 6-6.75" sweet spot (which is so rare now...). They made the windows even smaller and pillars even bigger, adding to the claustrophobic feeling. And last, I think while some may like the blacked-out look of the wheels and trim, I have a feeling it looks too "try-hard" for many.

Not surprised about your reactions. Mazda is the only Japanese company I've been paying attention for some time. They've been overlooked for to long.

Well done, as reviews go. Your style of evaluation, reveals the best of what this vehicle can do. Good job.

Thanks for your review! You did a better job than any Mazda sales person could ever do. I think I just found my next car. BTW, I agree with you. I prefer lifted hatchbacks too.

FINALLY!! Someone else who likes the plastic cladding like I do! I’m moving to the mountains where it snows so I’m trading in my soul red ‘18 Mazda 6 GT turbo for this! Great review! Thanks for sharing❣️

Love all your car reviews Sarah. You are the most fun to watch analyst and after watching your video, my jaw hurts a bit cuz I find myself smiling all the time. Love this review on CX 30. One thing is missing though. You often at the beginning of the video, raised the car up high and showing details of the chassis and explaining the components. All in all, 5 cookies, 5 penguins, and 5 beans. All the best Sarah

I love anything AWD and Rally inspired. Also Sarah's ❤️

Crosstrek STi. I thought I was the only one who wanted to see that. I've seen a few lifted Crosstreks and they look really nice.

What you called the hill decent button is actually the Off road traction assist button. Almost like x mode but tuned quite a bit differently and almost smarter in a sense. Love your reviews!

Agreed, the 2.5 has more than enough power to make CX-30 a blast to drive. But the newly announced turbo version has 36% more HP and a whopping 72% more torque. That’s back to the future time travel ready performance. Just add flux capacitor.

You're the only person I've seen really punch it in some corners. Love it! Great review as well!

Impressive car, I think it will do well. You're right Sarah, that engine w/a turbo would have been the icing on the cake. Great review!

Just found your channel. You had me at "Group B era rally racing". I am looking at the CX30 for my next vehicle and in all the reviews I've seen, yours is the only one that has really tested this off road. Throw on some Motegi 141 16" rims and a 70 series tire and this thing would be great for cottage runs and fire road hooning. Bring on more "lifted" reviews.

Great video as always - I usually don’t like hatchbacks but I like this car.

Brought the cx-30 the base model AWD in black & I still luv it I can't wait until the snow

I loved watching this video, and seeing how much fun you were having with the on-road and off-road capabilities of the CX-30. It's always great to see you get excited about a car. Which is why I won't be buying one of these since you already convinced me to buy a Veloster N!!

@bradzimmerman3171

3 ай бұрын

lol marcus it’s your $ a Veloster…really

That looked like a lot of fun, and the turn signal "clack, clack" sounds like a 60s or 70s Citroen! I once took the flasher unit from a 1960s 2CV apart just to see what it was like and the relay arm had a little plastic hammer that struck against the inside of the plastic housing. That was all. Simple but effective, and gave a very characteristic sound.

Over the years I’ve owned three Mazda 3 hatchbacks and two CX-5s, my present one being a 2018 CX-5. And the CX-30 is looking more and more to be my ‘spare/fun’ vehicle. Great vehicles for the price, especially this one.

I wanted to buy this car last year after covid hit and car companies were handing out deals. I ended up with buying another Mazda 3 premium only because the CX-30 was NOT offered with a manual transmission! I test drove it and it was nice but then got back in my 2014 Mazda 3 six speed stick and immediately ruled it out. I just like a manual transmission. You are correct on the Mazda premium adaptive headlights too, those things rule when you live out in the sticks like me.

Awesome video been following for 2 years keep up the good content

Great video, Sarah. That Mazda is really impressive, as you've demonstrated. I really like your new rating system: meatballs, cookies, beans and penguins. Makes perfect sense to me. Always nice to see the penguins along for the ride. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next review.

Got rid of my 3 as it was too low for me, due to spinal injury, looks like the 30 is an option now though. Nice looking car.

When the Turbo comes out soon it would be much fun to drive in the dirt Rally Style. Your reaction while driving in the dirt made my day., Mazda fan here.👌

Good review as always love your videos they are never boring thank you

Oh wow this review was so fun! Thank you Sarah!

Loved this review. Super entertaining to watch. I just ordered a 2022 CX-30 and it will arrive in three weeks. I can't wait!

This CX-30 is absolutely Gorgeous!!! Classy, Preppy, sophisticated, fun and capable. Couldn’t ask for more in a vehicle! Awesome review of this Beauty!

Yeah...so cool how it goes up that hill !!! And...black wheels to this white and black color combination would look awesome !!!

Good to see you looking and sounding well & happy. Hope your health keeps on improving. Great review too. I like a bit of body roll when you’re pushing on, makes for a smoother more comfy ride too. It is a good looking car. You are a fine woman. All in all good to watch

So far I AGREE with you on your choice of looks on these... an most other stuff too. I love your reviews too-- you I TRUST... you don't "baby" the cars-- like most do..and I LIKE the info- plus your quirky style makes it fun.. THANKS.

Wow, I am pretty impressed with this little Mazda. It seems to be made pretty well and do a pretty good job, especially on the trails. Put a true off-road tire on it and I bet it's a great package.

You are the best reviewer out there. Other ones bore me too much and I find I'm fast forwarding to try and find info or things I want to know about

Based on your review, that little sucker sounds pretty impressive. AWD plus the turbo, that sounds awesome. 250 HP and over 300 ft/lb of torque. That would be a monster.

I truly LOVE my limited special turbo edition cx-30!!!! Feeling enjoyment each new drive!!THANKS MAZDA!!

First time I find this channel, this lady is an amazing reviewer !

I actually got a CX-30 turbo and considered your review since I like to goto the mountaisn but also love sportier vehicles.The vehicle is a perfect balance and I came from a 2020 Stinger GT AWD 3.3 TT that was great but being so low limited where I could go and sitting low to the ground worrying about damaging my rims or scraping the fron end was getting old.Such a relief to know the vehicle is capable f some offroading.

I really like the newer Mazdas. My son has a 2017 CX5 and it's a really impressive vehicle. Solid and well made. That thing seems like a really capable, fun little vehicle. I think if my wife didn't already have her Forester and really like it I'd try to talk her into getting one of those. Not for me, I love my 4Runner too much. I can only imagine what it would do with more aggressive tires on it. Your scoring system makes perfect sense to me. Another great review, Thank you, Sarah.

I wished I'd seen this review when I was looking to buy one it's by far and away the best review and most entertaining. I did buy one in the end and agree with everything you said. It's a great option if daily life means you need to be sensible and practical yet refined but don't want to totally sacrifice driving fun. It's the smoothest drive ive had yet and that's over some mercs and BMWs and range rovers. A lot more fu than most of them too!

I like Mazda CX30 because it great looking crossover and it safe crossover, I can't wait until get one real soon.

You pushed this more on bare dirt than anyone else I've watched. And I can agree can do gravel slides around a cone tested and super fun in the snow.

Just bought a CX-30 this week. Was wanting a CX-3, but no manual transmission available so went for the more refined drive of the CX-30.

Nice delivery, well done...I test drove the turbo CX30 the other day, I did womp on it at it just plain got up and boogied! But I ordered the 2023 non turbo and it should be here the end of Sept, I figured if I had the turbo I would go broke putting gas in it because it's hard to not mash the gas pedal, although here in CO it should be fun in the snow with the AWD Cheers!

I really enjoyed to watch it. Thank you.. :)
