The Mazda cx30 is our 4th Mazda and our 35th car
..we have never had the same marque of car consecutively... We have had Audi ford , vw , rover ,gm...to name a few ..until 2015 we had never had a Mazda, Toyota car... Mazda have surprised us ESPECIALLY with the CX30...when you look at the spec of the cx30 compared to other marque's .. you get alot for your money....I think the customer experience of the dealership also a big part.. our family run dealership always go the extra mile with customers....I had many out of hour email chats with the owner regarding the Cx30 before it arrived.. I can't comment on engines as here in the UK we get the short straw of 122G or 180x engine.. not even the new 150G which is the 122G remapped..but for our crowed roads the cx30 performance is fine.
From my experiences I can't see you missing the Audi.
