r/MazdaCX30

As the header asks would the cx-30 fit a tall person? I'm looking for a new car as my Camry is starting to give out on me and it's mileage is getting up there. I'm 6'8 so trying to find a more affordable SUV that would fit me is a bit challenging so I'm really hoping someone here says I could fit it in the cx-30 as it looks like a really nice car.

Good morning everyone.

I went to the local Mazda dealership yesterday to look at cx5s and cx50s. They ended up being slightly more expensive than I wanted to pay. The dealer then suggested I test out a cx30. The only model they have is a carbon edition and it looks really nice. It handles really well, but my main complaint is that the driver's area seems really small. My left knee hits the door panel where all the buttons are.

I would be trading in my older rav4 with around 100k miles. I can't decide if it's worth it to buy something new, or just fix up my rav4 and drive it until the wheels fall off

I am looking to purchase the 990xt Thule double track hitch bike rack for my 2022 Mazda CX 30 and I am getting mixed review if it will work. Does anyone have any experience with this specific rack?

Just curious about this. I go to the dealership or an independent shop to have my oil changed about twice a year. So if they don't have oil in a few months, then I'd be cooked.

Would it be a good idea to buy a 5 quart to keep it at home just in case?

I’m in Australia and looking for a used car. An Australian reviewer (ReDriven) made a very negative review of the CX-30 citing issues like thin paint, creaking interior and oil dilution. I’d appreciate it if real owners can share their opinion about this car. Thank you.

Changing my spark plugs and ignition coils after work today. I have the torque wrenches and tools for the job and watched a lot of YouTube videos. Anything I should know last minute or tips? Thank you!

What the title says, the trunk doesn't open unless I'm standing next to it with the key fob.

Doesn't matter if I unluck the doors from the fob, from the driver's door, if the car is in park, drive, on, off , if I don't have the key with me it won't open.

Any ideas what it might be?

Hi everyone,

I bought my CX-30 just a week ago and had a couple of drives, I have some anxiety-driven questions for those who bought it new, to check if they had similar experiences.

1. Consumption. I expected it to be somewhat higher than the declared one (6L/100km or 39mpg) but I get +50% consumption with respect to these numbers, with a normal mixed driving, half city / half highway. My motor is a Skyactiv-G 2.5L (non-turbo, 2025 version). Could this be related to being the first kilometers and maybe it should drop with time? I read it somewhere but I'm really unsure about this.
2. Smell: the engine bay has a slight burnt smell after a trip. It seems to me it is fading, I just had 200km in the car. Is this regular / has someone else experienced this? (eg. just new rubbers / coatings / ... setting in maybe?). The engine bay is hot after a trip, but the temperature reported on the screen is normal. So it does not seem alarming.
3. Air from air vents. With AC off, the air at the "Lo" setting is still way hotter than the exterior. Yesterday the outside was fresh (18C /64F), but the flow the air vents was not very comfortable even after a long time, and I resolved the old shool way - windows partially down. With my older car, letting air flow at "Lo" meant air at the same temperature as outside was flowing in. Maybe it is the hot engine bay that pre-heats air anyway?

Thank you very much! I'm still absorbing the shock of modern driving.

Looking to buy one of these two. The mazda has ~55k miles on it and would be from a dealership. The subaru is from a friend that I wholeheartedly trust. Similar prices since I'm avoiding the dealership with the subaru. I'm just curious if people have any experience/thoughts on these. thanks everyone

Edit: is anyone familiar with the remote start options for the subaru?

I have a 21 tpp. My wife has a mid trim 2019 Honda crv. I love the traffic jam assist in my car but hers has infinitely better/stronger lane keeping assist at high speeds. It really lessens driver fatigue on longer drives. I am disappointed that my Mazda doesn’t have that.
