10 Reasons Why You Should Avoid The 2023 Mazda CX-30!

Attention car enthusiasts! Are you in the market for a new ride? Well, hold on to your seats because today we're taking a closer look at the 2023 Mazda CX-30.

Now, you may have heard all the buzz about this hot new SUV. But before you rush out to buy one, there are a few things you need to know.
In this video, we're going to give you not one, not two, but ten reasons why you should avoid the 2023 Mazda CX-30! So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the top reasons why this car might not be the right choice for you.

#1. The Electronic Nannies Can’t Be Turned Off
We all know that safety is important when it comes to our cars. And Mazda's i-Activ system certainly prioritizes safety, which is great... but sometimes we want a little more control over our driving experience, right?
Unfortunately, one of the downsides of this system is that you can't turn off the electronic nannies, including traction control. Now, while this feature may be helpful in some situations, like getting unstuck in the snow, it can also be a bit frustrating for those of us who like to have more control over our driving experience.
So, if you're someone who values a hands-on approach to driving, you might want to think twice about the 2023 Mazda CX-30.

#2. The CX-30 Is Not Your Best Bet For Driving In Winter
While the 2023 Mazda CX-30 may handle winter conditions fairly well, there are a few concerns you should be aware of.
First off, snow can easily build up in front of the headlights due to the chrome trim that extends beneath them. This means you'll have to clear that area more frequently to make sure other drivers can see you coming.
And speaking of visibility, the rear window isn't particularly large, which could make it difficult to see in certain situations.
But that's not all – the whole liftgate can get dirty pretty quickly, so you'll have to use more washer fluid than usual. And if the windshield washer fluid indicator lights up on the dashboard, you'll need to fill up the tank ASAP.
But perhaps the most concerning issue in the winter is de-icing the windows. When temperatures dip below minus 20 degrees, the windshield wipers can freeze up and ice can build up in the lower corners of the glass.
In such situations, you might have to turn your CX-30 into a sauna as you'll need to crank up the cabin's temperature and ventilation to deal with it.

#3. Poor Infotainment UX
We all know that a good infotainment system is key to an enjoyable driving experience, right? Unfortunately, the 2023 Mazda CX-30 falls a bit short in this department. While it's a generally good car, the infotainment system can be a real headache.
The problem lies in Mazda's choice to have a center-stack infotainment screen that is non-touch, and can only be controlled via a knob and buttons. This can be quite frustrating, especially for those who are used to touchscreen interfaces.
And things only get more awkward when you're trying to use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, which were designed to be used with a touchscreen interface.
While the screen is wide enough, it would have been better if it were taller and squarer, as the current letterbox shape is less useful for looking at sat-nav maps that require bigger screens.

#4. Poor Rear View Visibility
Visibility is actually not the forte of the CX-30, and the design makes sure of this. From the driver's seat, visibility can be quite limited, particularly in the rear.
Sure the backup camera does provide some assistance, but it's not a miracle worker. The small rear windows and relatively small rear screen can make it difficult to see what's behind you, limiting your view rearwards and over your shoulder.

#5. Cramped Interior
While the CX-30 may have decent space up front, the backseat is another story. Adult passengers, especially those on the taller side, will find themselves feeling pretty cramped with little leg or headroom to speak of. This can make long journeys quite uncomfortable. And don’t even think about installing a larger car seat because that will be a struggle.
The CX-30 also has a fairly small trunk compared to its competitors, meaning that families who need to carry large baby seats and a bunch of stuff will find themselves in a bit of a pickle. Only six carry-on suitcases can be squeezed into the rear cargo area, which isn't ideal if you're planning a weekend trip or a family vacation.
Getting in and out of the backseat of the CX-30 isn't ideal either. With its small rear doors and narrow gap, it’s tricky for passengers to enter and exit. Rear passengers will also have to contend with a floor hump and a lack of elbow room, which can be uncomfortable on long journeys.
