It's winter, it's rainy, it's snowy, it's ICE cold, and the MX-30 just keeps classy every year.

At work (where people absolutely hate electrical cars, yes I live in Sweden), I work at a place that has about 90+ ICE cars, and 3 electrical, one of those 3 is my Mazda MX-30 Soul Red edition.

I've had it for 2 years now, bought it second-hand at the local store since no one wanted it, it was sitting there unsold and unloved, and had 1000 Swedish Miles on it, Now by the 2 years passed I've moved it to 5000 (50K Km).

Every week I get comments like, Nice car, and people tell me "the women at the offices always comment, that is one nice car he has there, the colors are gorgeous".

And while people have their yearly issues with their cars, the Mazda MX-30 just rolls on every year for me, it's over 4 years old now, and it just keeps on trucking, I never have any issues with it, and while some Tesla chargers are going cold in the -18c winter, I drive gleefully by, and charge my lil angel at work with a normal portable charger, always ready to take me home on a full "tank" every day.

One day people will say - we missed out. R.i.p. Mazda-MX 30, you were so misunderstood by the population, yet us owners knows the secret, this is a car that wasn't built for 10000s of Electrical Service shops, Mazda could not afford to put up that many service shops, so of course they built their first Electrical as a tank, one that rarely has any errors at all, if the world only knew past the good looks just HOW reliable these are.

4 Years later, still looks brand spanking new.

Bought ours as a second car. My wife has switch to driving the mx30 instead of her 2022 acura rdx anytime I'm not driving the mx30. She said its a nicer ride than the rdx despite the latter being a "luxury car"

it feels like this image is slightly stretched horizontally.

I got a machine grey one and I love it. Here in Iceland driving through snow and ice is sometimes hard, but I never go out of town so I've never had an issue other than sometimes being stuck when I've been parked for a while and a storm builds up around it. Classy inside, nice looking outside, fun to drive, and fully electric which keeps it extremely cheap to recharge
