Best Salesperson

I had the greatest car buying experience at Wayne Mazda. My salesmen Stephen Z was just the best. He was so caring and respectful of the buying process for me. I recommend him to anyone who wants a great saleperson. The Mazda 3 I own is the greatest.

The Perfect Driver's Car

Purchased a 2015 M/T Mazda3i GT HB a little over a month ago and I have to say, I could not be happier with my decision. I came from a 2010 Ford Focus that I liked well enough but the comparison would be apples to oranges. The Mazda is downright sexy inside and out. It drives like a dream, with just enough feedback from the steering to know what's happening with the road. The standard features are too numerous to mention but I can't say enough about the lane departure warning system. Like my first smartphone, I wonder how I ever lived without it. Gas mileage has been right on point. With about 90% city driving, I'm averaging 33 mpg. The Mazda Connect system is great and super user friendly. I'm 6'1 and fit comfortably in the front and back, unlike the Focus that had almost zero rear leg room. The Boss speakers sound superb and the dual USB ports come in handy. Hands-down the best car in it's class, if not above it's class. Buy this car!

SPORTY, COMFORTABLE AND AWESOME RIDE

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED THIS CAR THE OTHER NIGHT AND WE ARE SO HAPPY WITH THE CAR. iT IS OUR 3RD MAZDA AND WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING ELSE AFTER DRIVING THIS CAR. REGGIE NORFLEET IS VERY PROFESSIONAL, KIND AND HELPFUL AND HE HAS BEEN OUR SALESMAN FROM THE FIRST PURCHASE AND HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WONDERFUL THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF BUYING OUR VEHICLE. THE CAR HAS IT ALL FROM STYLE TO SPEED AND ALL THE IN-BETWEEN.. BLIND SPOT MONITORING,INFORTAINMENT CENTER, BLUETOOTH, NAVIGATION, POWER LOCKS AND WINDOWS, BACKUP CAMERA, AUTOMATIC WIPERS, CRUISE CONTROL AND SO MUCH MORE. WE CAN'T WANT TO DRIVE IT ON OUR VACATION.

Sporty Compact

I did a fair amount of research before purchasing this car. This car has the most bang for your buck with Mazda having very good reliability reputation. I got a deep crystal blue iTouring with the standard transmission. First and second gear are much longer than my last standard (a Saturn) which I love. Fifth and sixth gear come up a lot quick, which is different, but it allows for better gas mileage. The car is comfortable and I like the more simplistic interior interface. My only complaint is that the auto lights didn't come in the iTouring. It seems like a pretty standard feature on most other cars once you move up from the base, but with push start, fog lights, and the looks a lone I can get over it. They automatically turn off when the car is off so you don't have to worry about leaving them on! Love the car so far!

Nice looking and comfortable car!

I did a lot of researched before settling on this car. I looked at the civic, elentra, forte, jetta, corolla, focus and cruze. All these cars were rated top of the class, but the Mazda had the look. My top three were the Mazda, Forte and the Jetta. Of these three, the Mazda had the best combination of power and ride comfort to me. You ad the look of the Mazda and the nice interior and the Mazda is the winner. The Jetta and the Forte had powerful engines but the ride was not as comfortable. The Mazda had enough power, plus a comfortable ride. You did not feel like you are driving an over power compact car like the Jetta and Forte. Do not get me wrong, there are really good cars as well. Especially, when you compare the price of the three cars. The Mazda is a little higher in price.

Great style and affordability!

Love the interior and exterior for this car. The infotainment display is amazing and syncs up with blutooth on your phone with many cool capabilities. I have the manual which is fun to drive, and it gets great gas mileage. I took one star off for comfort because the head rests have my head a little to forward to where I am used to holding it. LOVE THIS CAR
