Nice color... Should have wait for Soul Red for cx30 but wife don't want to wait that's why took the white.

Still stock look from the outside. Most people would paint their rim and do chrome delete

Did you put PPF on your car?

Yea most on the FB group cx30 paint their rim to gloss black. It's nice but the dirt will be more obvious.

Just ppf on the headlights and door cups.

And ppf on the interior center console.

So many matsuda fans here... both cars same brand

Btw if you guys already installed dashcam, can share some pictures how the wire was routed to the 12v port? Looking for the less obvious and cleanest route / method...

How long have you been driving the car? How’s your paint holding up? Stonechips?

I’m doing interior PPF too. Including meter cluster panel.

I am just an accidental fan. There isn’t much choice in Malaysia for a car of mazda 2 hatchback size. Toyota only sell fake Yaris here. VW no longer selling polo. Kia Rio no longer selling. Ford Fiesta also gone. And I don’t want Perodua after Daihatsu faking the safety test. So, Mazda 2 it is.

I was wondering the same to about dashcam wiring routing. That would be next in my to-do list after ppf.

Back in 2022 Mazda 6 was not my first choice but due to no stock from Honda - Accord and I need car urgently because my only car got major issue with the engine. I didn't even test drive the car and just book through their website and collect the car in PJ.

Got poison after owning it.

Cx30 interior it's just more up market comparing to HRV / Cross / X50. My wife just love it after seeing it.


Didn't route the dashcam to the port.

Almost 1 year, stone chip and scratches unavoidable. Save money and repaint few years later.

Stonw chip and scratches not obvious but I see a few here and there. Most scratches comes from parking next to some car who open their door like nobody business.

Yes CX30 interior is next level compared to HRV and Cross. If only the backseats are more reclined I think more people would've preferred it

You went for hardwire directly? Actually I'll prefer hardwire but there's the concern about warranty. iinm only warranty related to electrical components will be voided? Which seems to be rare issues for CX30 to have... but you never know

Oh I dint hardwired it. Sorry got mixup your question.

Rear seats it's quite ok I think compare to volvo xc40 or c40 but its for my young kids so think for now no issue.. 😄 🤣

Oh you just let it be..... for me cannot lah new car 😂

My wife car. She don't mind it.

My mazda 6 I hardwired it. 😄

Although mine is Mazda 3, but we share the same interior



12v port, go left and down, hide the cables under the center panel below, under glove compartment, A pillar, top windscreen.

almost like what i have in mind as well, will route the cable on the floor so its not too obvious and can be covered with floor mats.

For those who can understand Chinese, this is perhaps the best commentary about the CX-30



The host is the President of Taiwan's Mazda Fan Club.

i watched his reviews before and thought he is from China since the channel is based in China



another reviewer from Taiwan I tend to watch is DR IF. He goes more into the technical details rather than just spec sheet and driving review



a similar english reviewer is savagegeese

Congrats! What colour did you paint your rim?

Gloss black haha, follow Ignite spec last time

Haha. Everywhere I see people painted their CX-30 rim gloss black. Wish to see something different, like gun metal.

Can request from SA actually, but they will bring out to spray also, just see whether they want to free or charge you.

Personally for my color (polymetal grey), it matches well with black only hahah
