hello, what are your intial thoughts of the cx30.. had ours 4 weeks and can't fault it..

 

[MAZman]

Early days, but so far impressed. Just that bit larger than the CX-3 but noticeably smaller than the CX-5. Much improved comfort and ride quality. Very pleased with the purchase so far.

 

[steve67]

we have had 2 x mazda2 and a cx3, but the cx30 is another level..

 

[MAZman]

Agreed. Also, the new Mazda infotainment is much improved over the previous generations.

welcome to the forum from another Canadian. Where in Canada?

My son-in-law just recently purchased a 2019 CX-3 GS FWD in black. I looked at the CX-3 back in 2016 but dismissed it as the back seat room was terrible and same with the cargo area, also no front center armrest, After checking out various other vehicles I stuck to the Soul and got another one.

Kitchener/Waterloo. Yes, the CX-3 is small. Originally purchased the CX-3 as a first car for my daughter. We added the optional center armrest when we purchased because as you say, there wasn't one. The CX-3 is a good car if you don't need a lot of space and for busy downtowns too. Ours was reliable for the entire time we had it and the AWD was good in the ice and snow along with a set of winter tires. Hope your son-in-law has as good of an experience as we did.

Welcome to the forum MAZMan! Have you had a chance to really use the CX-30's AWD yet? I'm curious to hear about how it performs.

 

[MAZman]

Hello Wayne43 and thanks for the welcome. I just took delivery yesterday so with the exception of a light dusting of snow and some ice yesterday and overnight I haven't had a real chance to test the AWD. There is some snow forecast for Saturday so hopefully I will get the chance to see how it handles and will report back.
