    Most reliable and usefull car I've had as a daily driver.

    Most reliable and usefull car I've had as a daily driver. Everything in the interior is placed where it should be found functionally. Power, while not a muscle car, is more than adequate. Gas mileage is excellent. Adjusting from Comfort to Sport make a very noticeable impact on the driving experience from gear shifting to steering...

    This car meets all my needs and it had very low mileage and on top of that my note is very manageable to pay. T

    The car has everything one would want in an AMG module Mercedes. With the technology package, the night package, driving assist package, ambient lighting package, the sunroof. It is truly an amazing car.

    Absolutely perfect and couldn’t ask for a smoother, quite ride. The sleek line and it feels like I’m driving on glass it’s that smooth. Price was perfect for the car and couldn’t ask for anything more

    I always feel confident when I am alone in my car.

    I am the only one who drives this car. It's a Coupe, so there's not much room in the back. I would only recommend this car if it's for a two person family.

    Best pre-own cars in long island!

    So upon doing my heavy research on where to purchase my car next after my lease was up I decided to come to NYC Motorcars of Freeport. My lease was up with my Mazda 3 so I came here to check out what cars they had and found a Mazda 6 with low milage and looked totally brand new. Very impressed with how clean this car was. My sales person April helped me throughout the process. Had us cracking up! Huge selection of cars will have this place in mind when my wife's lease is up.
