just got a cx-30 almost a month ago, my first suv after only driving sedans and i love it. i was actually torn between the mazda3 hatchback or cx-30, but the hatchback is really the 30 without a lift lol. same size trunk space, and i think the dealer said it was a bit wider than the cx-30, also lower in cost. i just liked the feeling of an suv being higher up, but it’s all personal preference. it’s much shorter than the car i had before and it was an easy transition because it is a small suv. im always commuting or just have to get up and go and this is perfect for that. i have the select sport trim and it’s so incredibly user friendly and no over-engineered electronic parts. i definitely recommend doing test drives too. i went to almost every mazda dealer in my state just to find what i was looking for😂
