I don’t mind a laugh whilst watching a car review (most of these and car wow etc) but this had roughly 20 too many added clips, it was head mangling, clever links but no need to play clips of it all. Waaaa man.
You must be new here
@@andrewallan5442 LOL.
The small compartment near the steering column is for your garage/parking remote. Very useful actually.
It's actually for coins, which is why it has the carpeted bottom.
Either I guess
Great review, please loose the music vids rather hear more about the cars. 😁
Oh god yes.
Great video. OSV UA-cam review at 13:20 say you get an electric boost from battery at standstill so response is then instant . Maybe it doesn’t kick in if, like you say, you are just slowing down coming up to a roundabout and then put your foot down to go and it doesn’t. Perhaps they don’t have roundabouts in Japan so missed this in testing?
Wow, I spotted Eastbourne and Beachy Head in this review.
My son and I had a Mazda 2 on loan a few years ago and the gearbox had a fabulous movement to it so I no doubt this is even better.
The only other car I’ve driven with a same decent manual ‘box was in a - wait for it, I know I’m going to seem daft here but here goes, a Kia Rio of a few years ago.
Great review as we’ve always come to expect from you man.
Stay safe and well.
This as got to be the best car review channel and a great presenter Cheers.
Thanks Alan, appreciate that. Mark.
Great review. The interior is so similar to the latest Lexus models for quite a bit less money. That red colour is excellent, even though it has been around for quite a while now.
Another class video…but isn’t the CX-5 more of a competitor for 3008, Kuga , Tuscon etc?
Thanks Mark, another great gig. Really like the look of the CX-30 but, as usual had to watch the video twice... first time round is always Sightseeing Bingo: Asda: check, Three Mile: check, Gossie Park: check, traffic lights at the bottom of of wor street: not this time. 😶
It's the simple things...
LOL! 🤘🏻
Superb review as always!
As well as great entertainment this was a seriously good review. You are one of the few reviewers who comments on pedal position and steering wheel reach - vital aspects for taller drivers! 👍👍👍
Dimensions, design , cabin space - works, another great effort from Mazda.
I get Your point with no turbo engine, every engine needs a turbo.
I haven't owned a non-turbo car for more than 15 years , and most of them were petrol engines, and lack of power on demand really sucks.
I don't know why you would want to compare the cx 30 to the hyundai tuscon. The tuscon compares to the cx 5. The 30 compares to the hyundai kona
Love your reviews Mark , so entertaining. Quick question why are you driving a 69 reg car to critique the latest model just wondering. Have they not improved the car?
Gosforth ASDA - I know it (quite) well. Lovin' your work Marky Mark and your wife's fit.
Well done
Good review man, I could only imagine how enthused you'd be if you had access to 2.5L turbo that Americans and Australians get... 250hp, 430 Nm 😱👻🧐
But we Europeans are too environmentally conscious as to drive such a global warming causing engine. Now the question is, am I saying this with a straight face or with my tongue in my cheek?
Very enthused my friend. Very. 🔥👊🏻
We’ll never know
@@Verbindungs If you're watching car related videos on YT, I'll say tongue in cheek😋
No, we Aussies currently have the option of a 2.5L naturally-aspirated engine but we don't get the turbo (it's an option in the CX-5 here).
It’s a classy car. I particularly like the interior for the same reason I like VW interiors - simple, unfussy, not showy, but high quality. I’d buy one of these if they put a good engine under the bonnet. I don’t doubt that there’s some very clever engineers working at Mazda - I think it’s be well within their abilities to sort the engine out. I wonder why they haven’t.
Does it have a digital speed display mark?
I know more and more cars do and I really like seeing my speed at a glance (like a digital watch,compared to hands)
It can do, yeah. The inner part of the speedo can show your speed as a number readout. M.
Plus HUD shows speed.
I'd definitely buy that car. Well, not that exact one as someone stole the signature plyboard boot feature!
Top review as always
Yeah. Have you been breaking into the studio? It’s actually still there next to the green screen. *mental note, call Mazda* 😂
hi the small storeage compartment is for the key.
Here in the USA Mazda offers a turbo option with the CX30.
Great review but having literally just moved from that German 1.5 turbo I'm not sure why you think it's so much better ? Real world economy of under 40mpg & you most definitely have to work the gear box. Having owned troc for 3 years I finally had enough of the fake plastic exhausts & cheap plastic interior.
We've got the 2.5 litre engine in Australia and it's powerful and relatively economical.
Your last comment about the kind of person that buys this resonated back to the days of Saab. They would have liked this car for all the reasons you state , but it would have had a two litre turbo under the bonnet !
A turbo version is available in other markets and it's superb by all accounts.
I assume it s always the same test route as you always seem to go past a new estate
10/10 review, I was properly smiling 😂😂😂😂. The CX30 🤔, I don’t know, an atmospheric engine, sounds vintage, and sounds slow aswell. I’ve only driven once a car with no turbo (a 1993 Polo, 1.0) and was actually fun. Maybe I’d like this 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks mate, appreciate you saying so.
Just needs the parcel shelf / bag thing from the Honda civic
When they say the apple car play or android is not wireless does that mean to use the apps already on my phone do I have to keep my phone plugged in or can you download what's on the phone to the hardrive in the car?
I really wanted to like this car and i thought the build quality of the interior was very impressive. However, i also felt too low and hemmed in and the auto gearbox acted like a dct and juddered all over the place. So disappointed
No you don't have to thrash the engine. Utter rot spoken by every car tester that has grown up with turbo engines. I have had my 180 for 4 months now and rarely go above 3000rpm and drive swiftly. It's a very flexible engine very easy to drive and I get 44mpg on the average commute. I do wish testers would learn how to drive them properly before posting misleading content. Yes the suspension is a bit too firm on poor roads and you feel the extra weight when braking from speed but I love the design, safety features and quality and at 5 foot 10 tall there is plenty of room inside even with the sun roof. A great package.
Very real and fair comment.
I like this review but I think you’re missing the point a bit.
Mazda has never been about raw power, I’m struggling to think of a car they’ve made that is a ‘fast’ car.
Even the MX5 (I own one) is not a fast car compared with a Z4 or SLC.
But get an owner of one of those in an MX5 (I’ve done it) and they will agree it’s a better driving experience.
Mazda is all about the relationship between car and driver.
I think if you want a fast car experience, why are you even looking at an SUV?
And as far as driving fast in the UK….
That’s nigh on impossible these days.
Performance driven cars have big wheels and harsh suspension, a complete nightmare nowadays on UK’s dreadful road surfaces.
What matters to me now is build quality, safety, cool design and quietness.
For me the CX30 has all that.
Dude, go easy with the music video cuts.
Just ordered the 23 plate , pick it up in march , we got a Rottweiler so we are getting this an selling the Audi A3
How does it compare to A3, rear seat space and boot?
@@Stickoid bigger , can fit a big Rottweiler in back , the A3 was 2 small for anything like that , that’s one of the reasons we got the CX 30 rear back seats are ok but nothing special
@@kingkong81icloud Thanks. Did you have an A3 Sportback or the 3 door hatchback?
@@Stickoid 4 door saloon car
The current Mazda are the champions of stupidly long bonnets. The craft they perfected in MX-30 (a.k.a. the worst EV in the world), a 440 cm. long car that has less rear legroom than pretty much any much smaller modern city car. The looks of the exterior of the car are more important in KODO (their design philosophy.....) than the comfort of rear seat passengers, apparently.
Not sold on all the weird flaps. The effect seems mostly cosmetic. The cargo space is still pretty limited and not significantly larger than in the hatchback mazda-3 and the footroom for backseat isn't any different from any hatchback/sedan like a Toyota Yaris. I find it difficult to think of this as an SUV or even a CUV. This is a chubby hatchback. I hope there's a CX-5 or CX-50 with all of the CX-30 features (and maybe a touch screen for typing addresses to navi) in the pipeline.
I guess it's quite a light car.. because we didn't hear any... heavy metal.
Without see the video there is not space!!! Right???
Ups...no!! Sorry
As it always has been: a na engine with a manual is for people that love driving.
A turbo is for the kind of people that buy e-bikes.
The engine may be a downside until you consider that the Volkswagen engine he mentions will be on its 3rd turbo by the time anything happens to this one.
Can you make a video about your tattoos lol
I feel like this review is for those with ADD
Did you used to draw on your pencil box in school?
Yes. Also the desks. Mark.
Tight box and a good rack. Nice.
Mmm, cheesy Whatsit.
Oh my god you didnt need to milk that band name joke so hard, I considered clicking away. Edit: oh my god it's not over, I AM clicking away. Yes the words you said are the words in some bands name. ha ha. hilarious. Definitely worth it to constantly distract me from the information I came for
Well done for sticking with it mate 😂 Mark.
In terms of powertrains, Mazda is seriously behind it's competitors. They have limited engineering resources and lack the financial resources to develop modern hybrid/PHEV and electric engines and battery technology that it keeps plugging the Skyactiv engines as the solution for tomorrow!
A boring Mazda, no surprise there.
So put in a Turbo Benzina 280 in the thing from AR.
We need to end this crossover word. Bascially means school mum who cant drive or judge the size of it. Feels they need a bigger car when they have 1 child. 🙄
Vanarama have really bad customer service, they don’t really give much of a shit really about you
Peugeot 3008 is far superior to this, I feel it is really competing in the 2008 class of cars and, it falls behind that too.
It’s just too small inside and very old school dashboard, ie, low tech.
Agree it’s more 2008 competition. In Australia, the 2008 only gets 1.2L 3cyl. Feels a little underpowered comparatively. 2008 is more wagon/estate that may suit more owners. 3008 is bigger & starting price is more than top spec CX-30. Bonus points to 2008 for more of a SUV body providing extra headroom. Mazda seems a slightly raised Mazda3 with the body rationalised a bit.
2008 is a competitor of CX-30. 3008 is a competitor of CX-5. You cannot compare cx-30 with Peugeot 2008 in any aspect. It’s different level cars. From quality aspect to interior, exterior design, reliability, philosophy,driving feeling. I had the chance to visit a car dealer that had both brands. I first got in the Peugeot. After, I got in the cx-30. That was it. Peugeot is a typical good brand. Mazda has made a premium step with this new whole product line. In my opinion, Mazda quality is only compared with Mercedes Audi Volvo and BMW.
OMG enough with the songs in the review wtf
No thanks. Mark. x
@@vanaramauk OK 😢
well....that's a look, i suppose, transgender Su Pollard
Why don't you just review the cars instead of all the stupid theatrics.
Because what’s life without a bit of theatre? Mark. 😁
what a silly car review.
Thank you.
The worst review I have seen yet
Yeah but it is a Mazda so it will have some massive design fault that makes it hideously unreliable and heinously expensive to run. If Mazda were the last car maker on Earth I would buy a new pair of walking boots. The 2.2 diesel has destroyed the brand for me. I would never recommend anyone buys a Mazda. The Companies lack of interest is terrible. Aweful manufacturer with terrible products.
I had three CX-5s with the 2.2 diesel, I thought it was a great engine and all three cars were 100% reliable.
@@Dyrck so congratulations on being the luckiest person on earth. I guess you have the sump dropped off every year and change the sump strainer every year. If you do do that then the engine is fine. The service manual though says every 5 years and/or 120,000 miles. In which case the engine fails in 3/4 years and goodnight Vienna.
@@shieldaigbencher I only ever owned mine for 3 years and about 30,000 miles, so never ran into the problem.
Love Mazda, had 2, very reliable....
