It seems that the front pillar is less thicker than the other skyactiv models, effectively reducing front blindspot.

The speedometer dashboard's height seems lower than the new 2019 Mazda3, making the front view much better for the driver.

The 2.0 liter Skyactiv engine is still very good, rev happy and very responsive. We also drove the 1.5 liter 2019 Mazda 3 and find it less responsive than the 2.0 liter CX-30.

Braking is as smooth as butter with the CX-30. My sister told me that she finds the CX-30 braking feel so much better than the CX-5. The CX-5's braking is somewhat strong for her taste, a bit difficult to control compared with the Mazda3 and CX-30.

The only thing I don't like with the CX-30 is the iStop feature. The base model comes with it unfortunately. Also there's no rear cabin aircon vents unlike with the 2019 base model Mazda3.

The CX-30 is likely going to be Mazda PH's newest bestseller! I instantly liked it much more than my M3.
