Tight well built vehicle.

I have bought 3 Mazda s in the past 2 years. Tight well built vehicle. smooth ride excellent handling and can get all my drums in the 2011, 2012 CX7 that I had and now the 2013 Mazda 3 hatchback. (Needed better gas mileage). Got it! 6speed Skyactive Manual. Key-less entry is nice. Just walk up to vehicle, push button and your in. Auto climate control keeps temperature nice and even. Sexy expensive looking body stile is always a Mazda trait. When you close the doors its a sound of quality craftsmanship, Thank you Hertrich of Dove DE. for a friendly family feeling without any pressure. The sales staff, service and management are top notch

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.
