Hello, so 4 years ago i bought my son for his 16th birthday a Chevy Cruze and honestly, its been a dog. one problem after another, constantly leaking oil, O2 Sensor prob, turbo issues, just not a good reliable car.

fast forward to today my son is in college now and works his butt off at school and work has saved a good deal of money for a Mazda. He wants either the CX 5 or CX 30. I thought i would join this group to get some insight on reliability, good years vs better years or years to avoid altogether.

I know cars and know them well, but i know nothing about Mazda reliability and durability.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

I bought my 2025 cx30 GX a couple months ago. I absolutely love it! Very sporty, drives more like a car. My fiance has the cx5 and it is definitely more spacious. Its sporty as well but I love the way the cx30 handles. Tell your son to test drive both more than once. I didn't want the turbo because they are more expensive to fix . I wish him all the best with his car shopping!!
