Hello everyone, my name is Pedro and I'm Portuguese and I was born in Braga.
I bought my CX30 two months ago and I'm happy with the performance of the car.

Welcome to the forum Pedro! Have you owned Mazdas before or is this your first?

Hi Wayne,

That's my first indeed. My other cars they all have been German brands.

Well congrats on your first Mazda! What made you switch from the German cars?

Congrats. What's gas mileage like for you?

This Mazda has a reliable engine and technology at a more affordable price. The interiors are close to the level of German cars. For me safety is very important and the final decision that ended the purchase was the test (Official Mazda CX-30 2019 safety rating).
The appearance of this brand's cars has also improved a lot. I've only been disappointed with SBS so far, but within the overall package it's the least I can think of, and I think it will be solved via software some day.

Mine is hybrid with automatic gearbox, so it spends a little more than manual gearbox. Now it averages from 9 liters to 100, but should drop to 7 or 7.5 or a little less after the 2000K. My other car that stays longer in the garage now has almost 400,000 kilometers, and will be used for sporadic drives.
