I went for a test drive today. I went in just wanting to test drive the cx-30. But ended up driving the cx 5 as well. I really liked the 5.
i only take my car to the train station and drive on weekends. The price difference between the 30 and 5 isn’t that large. I am concerned about the width difference. My current car is a 2006 corolla. The cx 30 is 4 inches wider. The 5 is 6 inches. Some of the parking spots are narrow. Am i over thinking this? I’m used to driving a sedan. So I don’t want to get something that will be too big for me.
The CX-30 is going to be relatively similar in space to the Corolla. The Corolla is comparable to the Mazda3 and the CX-30 is essentially a lifted Mazda3 with slightly more headroom.
The CX-5 is a bigger car. It will also offer more utility. Also, imo, width is not hugely important as there are larger cars out there. Length plays a factor when trying to fit into tight spots. I have a CX-50 which is much wider than the CX-5 and I park in a small car spot at home. It’s annoying but my car still fits. When I had a CX-5 loaner, there was an obvious amount of additional space in the stall.
