Mazda CX-30 2020 UK review
Should I buy one?
With the CX-30, Mazda has launched a genuinely impressive alternative to the likes of the more humdrum crossovers that seem to be so very popular in this day and age. It might not be perfect, but if it was between this and a Nissan Qashqai… Well, I know which of the two I’d go for.
It’s easily one of the most entertaining cars to drive in its class. Even when driven at a moderate pace it has a sense of integrity about its controls and the way it moves that helps elevate it above the current crop of largely mundane, tedious family crossovers. And for that alone, it deserves a nod of approval.
