I just drove up to Dallas with him for a long weekend, put almost 1,000 miles on it, and it continues to impress

That's great. Seems like dealers around here are ordering WAAAY more CX-30s than the Mazda3s, which are getting scarce. I hope Mazda keeps the model around. But, not sure why it's SO much more expensive to insure than the small SUVs.

There are some nice reasonable choices out there, I always suggest looking at the new Hyundai's & Kia's, they offer a lot of car for the money. |

Then again - that was almost 40 years ago. LOL (early 80's with an early 70's car - )

Does Hyundai have anything interesting? The newer stuff is incredibly safe, reliable and is, I dunno, appropriate for a kid to have as a first car.
They are ugly and I don't know if you can get a stick in anything though. |

Yep. Mentioned by Alan, too, along with Kias.
