Ride and Handling
The Mazda 3 has a more extended wheelbase and a broader rear track. Being closer to the ground and expanded for stability is what makes it fun to drive. The CX-30 and Mazda 3 uses MacPherson struts up front with springs and a rear torsion beam in back.
Many of the critiques argue that the fun to drive persona is lost, but you will not see any significant difference as compared to the forerunners. The CX-30's taller ride height and raised seating position make it commanding and it barely loses any of the Mazda3 hatchback's noble dynamics.
Which one is more comfortable?
