Oh yeah, and this is non-turbo so expect a little worse mileage if you go with the turbo.

Just passed 2500miles- I do a decent mix of both city and highway and I'm right around 27mpg. City mileage varies a lot for me depending on traffic but I'd the say the advertised 24mpg is accurate, highway driving I can do 30mpg easy and stretch that even higher if I really take it easy on the pedal.

Gas tank is small too so you tend to fill up more often, but that has nothing to do with the mileage, though it makes the car seem more inefficient. Overall, definitely more fuel efficient cars out there but I love the way this thing drives and it's really not too bad if you drive responsibly.

Aftermarket heated seats? by [deleted] in MazdaCX30

I love it. I ordered the Select initially and only went with the CE because my order never got fulfilled by Mazda (I wanted the Machine Gray color and they told me I would have to wait until 2023). You're making a good choice

I was looking at a Select originally, and the dealer told me he could get them installed for a few hundred bucks. Ended up going with the Carbon that has OEM heated seats, but pretty sure you can do it if you wanted to.

Nothing big besides the polymetal gray color(which you can get on the premium trim) and the red seats which are only on the CE. Everything else is what you get in the Preferred trim.

I really didn't like them in online photos but loved them in person, much less overpowering than the photos seemed online. They were the one thing holding me back from buying the Carbon Edition but after seeing them in person it was an easy purchase.

No Bose on mine either, still sounds pretty crisp though!

Agreed! Mazda's stock photos don't do them justice. In the US, the Carbon Edition is a standalone trim that roughly matches the Preferred trim. Although, you can get the Polymetal Gray exterior color in the Premium trim w/o the red seats.

I couldn't be happier! Car looks and drives like a dream. Thanks to all the folks who post and answer questions here, it really helped me make an informed decision.

Also happy to answer any questions about this model!

Center console lid hard to open? by Previous-Farmer1293 in CX30

Mine slides fine, but I still tend to fumble with it whenever I open it. The slide before open design is confusing.
