When the only other cars you've owned have been a 2002 Punto, a 2001 Polo, a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek and a 2022 Subaru Outback (which are both very lifted and have an insane amount of body roll) - trust me - a CX-30 feels like a genuine hot hatch. I read a review that said something like 'If you want a Mazda3 but don't want to slow down for speed bumps, buy a CX-30'. Pretty good summary tbh. I've taken it into the mountains and it really rails corners given the type of vehicle it is.
Agree on your US analysis (Maslow innit) but a CX-30 as a pure driving experience.
Where's Troy Queef when you need him?
