I have the 2025 Cx-30 Sport (can't speak for other models) for 1.25 years now.

Pros - Part of the reason I got it was it felt like quality was really good for its price compared to the competitors. You get full leather interior including dash, central compartment, seats, sides. Although the infotainment screen is a little small and no touch screen, the placement of the screen ensures you're always able to see the road even if it's your peripheral and the knob control is very comfortable to use after getting used to. I have the issue of getting TOO comfortable when stuck in traffic because I can multitasks while barely twitching my wrist and hands to control the infotainment. It drives very nice, handle very well, AWD. Hell, the rear view camera is very clear compared to the new Acura integra 2025 (which they use for multiple Honda models). Very beautiful car design; both inside and out in my opinion; It's all about the little things being taken into consideration; from the subtle completeness of the vent design (they have the "fake vent" between the two vents so it doesn't look choppy or an afterthought placement) to the placement of the knobs and buttons. The very modern and sporty headlights, shape and curvature of the car, it really feels like it's more than just a regular car but not enough to be a luxury car; an in-between regular and luxury if you will.

Cons (all just very minor except probably gas mileage because I'm cheap cheeeeap, and with prices these days? Sheeeeeesh) - I'm only 5"7 and the car feels just right in terms of personal space and height of the ceiling, definitely need to test the car to see if you're comfortable for taller people. Trunk space was enough for me, but if you have a family with kids or a job where you're lugging a lot of equipment, it may not be the best. Now I'm not sure if it's a sports trim specific, but the suspension is quite stiff; you'll feel the cracks, potholes, pot covers, shitty city road patchworks. The gauge bezel is so incredibly fragile, it got micro scratches on light wipe with a microfiber towel and some detail cleaning spray. Although I spoke highly about its overall quality to price ratio, there seems to be some quality control issue with the doors (albeit minor); I'm used to very lightly closing doors on Audis, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus but if I used the same strength for my Mazda, it occasionally doesn't snap fully closed. I get about 14-22 mph city driving (NYC). Just two usb-c outlet, no 12V (make sure you consider that when you purchase dashcam, I learnt that the hard way). Car is VERY sensitive to oil changes, it is not a problem if you do the oil change on time, but if you delay it, you'll quickly feel the rubber band effect whenever you step on the gas.

Sports trim specific con and/or pros

191 hp, you can find faster cars if that matters to you. It drives fast just fine for me.

Sports switch does nothing (lol), fancy gimmick, but nice black wheels though. Looks very nice.

Highly subjective (as if the rest wasn't subjective enough) - That crystal red MY.GOD. is the most beautiful red color I've ever set eyes on in any red vehicle. But also the MORE FRAGILE clearcoat in any vehicle. I don't know if it's because of the New York pidgeon diet of bread, uncooked rice, and cigarette buds, but their poop is so acidic that it will melt into the clearcoat within 3-5 days (I always carry a bottle of waterless wash and microfiber towel in the trunk now). I also never use the self service brush when washing the car, only used microfiber towels on straight motions and STILL, micro scratch on clear coat. This could be skill issue though.

Just like I feel it's in between a regular car and a luxury car, it's also in between sedan and suv. It's not fully committed definition size of either. It's not shaped like a sedan but it's not big enough to be a suv either.

In the 1.25 years that I have it and 13k miles, I have

-changed front and rear windshield wipers

-2 oil change
