Just asking for advice. Fellow car enthusiasts, does the CX30's tire easily get bulges like the 18-inch rims on the Mazda3? How about its fuel consumption and maintenance costs? Which configuration would you recommend? Is the fabric seat a good choice? Is it recommended to get the sunroof version? Any issues with leaking? Is the maintenance troublesome later on? Thanks.

The premium version of the GWM 30 comes with a 55% aspect ratio, which is much thicker compared to the 40% aspect ratio of the Mazda3. Fuel consumption is around 6-7 liters for pure gasoline, 8-9 liters in heavy traffic, and 10 liters in temperatures below zero. It's better to drive an extra 5 kilometers than to be stuck in traffic for 10 minutes; it has typical American car characteristics. If you change the oil yourself, the maintenance cost isn't high, and you can even use some high-quality oil. The fabric seats are excellent. There's no need for a sunroof. If you can drive a manual, always opt for a manual transmission. It's rare to find a car like the GWM 6 with such a responsive factory-set RPM drop. If you really want a 360-degree view, consider the top configuration. The low-end version has a tail light with a circle, while the high-end version adds a horizontal line. You can't see the lights while driving anyway, so it's not a big deal.

The 18-inch tires on the Mazda Axela are too thin; 30 would be a bit thicker.

The aspect ratio is there, a bulge is impossible. Speaking of manual transmission, buying a Mazda3 is not as good as the -30. This one is a 2.0-liter, you can totally think of it as a slightly bulkier hatchback version of the Mazda3. I'm ready to make the purchase.

Mazda 3 with the same configuration is about ten thousand cheaper.

No regrets, the top choice in its class, and the manual version is truly unique.

Hello fellow car enthusiasts, does the CX30 have different tail lights for each configuration like the Mazda3, or do they all have round tail lights? Or are the lower trims the narrow-eyed ones?

I'm a bit torn between buying the Mazda3 or the CX-30, sigh.
