Should I Buy the 2022 Mazda CX-30?
The CX-30’s available powertrains — particularly its powerful turbocharged engine — are highlights, as are its steering and handling. Interior quality impresses, too. The backseat, however, is small, and the ride might be too firm for some. Its multimedia controls aren’t intuitive, either.
