Love this car!

This is the first car I've bought on my own and I am so happy with the choice. The car has classy styling, is very comfortable inside, and much fun to drive.

Most gas efficient car I have ever owned.

The Mazda3 is a neat car to own. The term "zoom zoom" truly fits this car. I can't get over how fast it takes a hill. I had no difficulty driving the car in the snow. It handled beautifully.

Exceptional Experience

Recently went to Schwartz Mazda in Shrewsbury and bought the 2012 CX-9 from Mike P. What a great experience. I bought my first car from Schwartz years ago when they were in Red Bank and they are still great. I hadn't purchased a new car in over 10 years and was dreading the entire experience. I hate the whole negotiating aspect and the fact that you have to go back and forth so many times. This was not the case at Schwartz. Mike was professional and honest from the beginning. He wasn't overbearing or pushy at all. We knew which model we wanted to it was just a matter of test driving and agreeing on a price. They didn't have the exact car with the options we wanted, but they located one and had it for us 2 days later! I definitely recommend Schwartz. Honest, professional, dependable for years...and the 0% financing that Mazda was offering was a huge plus too.

Performs as expected

I traded a 2005 Hatchback for a 2012. I am very pleased with the performance. The 2005 seemed to have more low-end torque but it is adequate in this car. The 6-speed automatic is smooth. Am averaging 30 mpg in city/highway driving.
