Amazingly this steering rack issue continue for so long.

Bought new in 2017 Civic FC 1.8s and claimed in July 2020. And sold it in 2022.

Not sure about Mazda 3. Rear seat for CX30 is definitely better than Mazda 3.

Rear seat for tall people like 180cm above its really not comfortable even for my previous car Civic 1.8s it's the same.

I think all Japanese car rear seat are shortened that's why so uncomfortable.

I love the liftback design but cx30 have better overall utility.

Bro, ive had a cx30 (same engine with m3) before and trust me, its not worth the price.

Engine feels underpowered, poor efficiency and small rear room.

I have a different feeling for CX30.

Anyway worth it or not its subjective.

I think the only Chinese car that's worth buying it's the S70.

Guys, want to ask, recent Honda famous of Steering Rack problem, but isn't that Mazda also famous of never ending Lower Arm kluk kluk kluk problem or it's been resolved on newer Mazda?

Long time ago interested on last generation Mazda 3 but keep seeing this lower arm noise never ending on Mazda 3 and CX5.

Cx30 no issue.

Mazda 6 got the nyek sound if go over bumps after rain 😅

People with mechanical knowledge will go for the older gen as it is using multilink in the rear.
Compare to newer gen CX-30/50, 3 already go for torsion beam.
Just to break some news, go and ask those doing tow truck service and also scrap car tender, a lot of CX-30 being crash and tender out as scrap, even more worse than the old CX-3/CX-5 in-term of handling emergency. A lot of these never make it in open news of those cars model being claim by insurance, but lately my mechanic side got at least few customers tender CX-30 scrap to fix, sell spare part, etc. Car so new but already a lot total loss already.

Accident is because handling of the car, really?

So many driver don't even sit correctly in the driver seats and their steering technique it's another factor in emergency.

But still CX-3 also smaller, but did not got so much attention.
Try ask around, I also shock when i see a lot of CX-30 accident units being sold and tender around. In KL there already got air bag repairer with full complete dashboard mold repair and air bag replacement ready for CX-30, just imagine how many CX-30 already involved in accident and done repair for now.

Accident is always the driver problem.

Supposing with modern safety technology, the accident rate should be lower.
If you can see so many being tow and tender you will start to question why this ride got so many accident.
Or the buyer who bought this ride most of them are bad drivers?  laugh.gif

There are 4 specs on sale and only the top 2 specs comes with advanced safety features.

And u are assuming all accident is cause by the driver who drive CX30 not the other party.

I'm not sure what you trying to point, but as long as you are happy then yes CX30 is not for you.

Most of the accident units got all air bags deployed and front impact, if it is on the side or rear those are from other factors. I just shared what i saw lately, as a lot of units being tender, scrap, repair and i believe some will flow back into market as used units so for those who are looking at Mazda CX-30 rides at a very good deal in 2nd market better check with insurance or jpj using the car chassis no. as what i heard those who repair and sell back most will change the plat no. also.

All used car have the same risk.

Even experienced used car dealer sometimes got these of kind car from bidding platform. Fortunately for them they can return the car to the bidding platform and get refunds.

But no such thing for end user like us.
