Used hatchbacks for sale near St. Augustine Shores, FL under $30,000

Previously we have owned a 2016 Mazda Hatchback with the 2.0 liter engine and manual transmission. Our biggest complaint with that car was the lack of power. We were not expecting a performance car, but the 2 liter engine in that car was just anemic. My wife didn't feel safe trying to pull out into traffic. We recently purchased a 2024 Mazda 3 Premium with 2.5 liter engine and manual transmission. While still not feeling like a sports car (it is not one) it does have considerably more torque than the 2016 we owned previously. Things we like about the 2024 model: - the bump in power - fuel economy - the interior. the seats are somewhat firm, but comfy. The dash is nicely layed out - the buttons on the console are useful - heater/AC controls are buttons and knobs - easy to use - the heater fan! We have had several Mazdas, and the fan has always been underpowered. the fan in this car is adequate - two driver settings that will put the seat in the correct position, as well as let you set the brightness of the heads up display - seat heaters Things we don't like: - auto sensing wipers. the only way to use the intermittent wipers is with the 'auto' setting, and it operates properly only intermittently at best - the door for the gas filler. it is not difficult, but if you don't know how to do it, you may need to google (what I had to do at the gas station) - Fully electric parking brake - I would prefer a manually operated brake. - The pedal area is somewhat narrow. I have somewhat wide feet, so I have to keep that in mind, as some shoes make driving cumbersome. The reliability question was required, which is a rather lame requirement when one has owned a car for a month. I gave it 3 stars as I have no idea yet as to the reliability.

This Toyota dealership is the benchmark for what Toyota dealerships should be. Since moving to Florida I have dealt with multiple Toyota dealerships and Beaver Toyota tops them all! No need to be constantly looking over your shoulder here, they always take the high road and try to do the right thing. It was a refreshing experience from the moment we contacted Mike Elkin through Cars.com. Mike did a fantastic job taking care of us and quickly wrapping up our purchase. The dealer and purchase fees are fair here and disclosed up front (unlike other Toyota dealerships that hide huge used car fees). They are a two hour drive from us, but honestly we are excited to return just to visit again.

The plug-in is what I really wanted. An outstand car, the battery is way to small. A full electric car is not the best choise for driving in Colo and Wy. The Prius is the best of both worlds

Loved dealing with this dealership. Very professional and courteous. Recommend them highly. Were very helpful!

The car is a little noisy on the road at 65 MPH, but less than the Toyota Prius. At slower speeds, it is very quiet. It gets 54 MPG on the highway using the cruise control. It has all the necessary electronics except the bird's eye view. It can go about 550 miles on a tank full of regular gas. It has a small tuning radius and adequate acceleration for the merge lanes on the interstate.

Thank you Armando Scorza for my tesla, excellent salesperson and very kind, I recommend them 100%

This things fits EVERYTHING! I purchased this preowned back in 2021 with 48k miles on it. With 4 years of ownership and only 13k miles later, I’ve only ever had to keep up with maintenance including a set of new tires and one recall. Last summer I did notice some plastic paneling in the rear rattling that drove me nuts but haven’t heard it since so let’s hope it doesn’t start anew. With it being so cheap to maintain and the fact it sips gas, I have a hard time finding a justifiable reason to upgrade!

Thank you so much RYAN STEPHENS for all your help today. You were very professional and knowledgeable and polite. I will go no where else to purchase another vehicle! W O W!! Yes I was WOWed! M.A.Q.

This is by far my favorite Prius. This my fourth Prius as well. Best looking and handling. I love the color . The interior and all the latest technology is great.

Completely Satisfied Easy to do business Accommodating Facility Employees are well trained and genuine Pricing was the best

Great driver. Good gas mileage. Problem free. Second soul I have owned and just as good. My first was a 2013 and I had it for 6 years. I've had this one for over 3 years,

My experience was excellent as it has been in past visits. My service tech, Szymon, is and has always been to courteous and helpful.

In 4 years only one problem, horn failed 3 times. Last time I had it mounted differently and never failed again. This was covered by warranty

James Paul made the process pleasant, quick and painless after driving the same car for the last 18 years. Would recommend to anyone that is looking for a new Honda

Amazing daily driver that can AutoX with ease, I absolutely love dailying and tracking this car, even while stock. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a sporty daily driver.

Good afternoon, everyone. It was a wonderful collaboration with these guys.Everything went just great.I didn't expect such high-quality cooperation. And such a wonderful result.Spesial thanks to James Paul and Augustine Decruz.A'm sure we'llsee each other again. You do great work. You have a great team.

Gavi was amazing to work with!! Very nice person and he made the experience buying the vehicle seamless. Highly recommend Gavi and I40 Auto. My friend also bought a 2016 Honda Odyssey the same day. Great deal on both cars!!

Beaver Mitsubishi was a pleasure to work with. Jaelin went over and beyond to make sure I had all of the information I needed. Communication was great and they worked with me to make sure I was happy with my deal. I flew from Mobile, AL to St Augustine to make this purchase. Thank You again guys for all the help.

I sure tire of the "free energy" postings. You honestly think your utility company comps you for the extra kilowatt usage? These are great little cars, even took mine on a Minnesota to Texas and back road trip with decent comfort at full highway speeds and no, it didn't look as if I was lead car in a funeral procession either. You can honestly cruise all day at 80 should you wish to do so. Reliability? If this Prius is like my 2008 then I can expect to get a trouble free 218,000+ miles out of it and then see its current owner still tooling about the area. Take a look and see where these are made. In a country that still values quality of performance and strives for perfection.

ZACK....IS THE BEST SALES PERSON IVE EVER MET AND DEALED WITH!! HE IS JUST THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! GO SEE ZACK AT FAMILY KIA ST. AUGUSTINE!!! I WAS TRYING TO GET MY SISTER IN A VEHICLE. SHE IS DEAF...AND ZACK WORKED WITH US SO WELL!!!! WE DIDN'T DO ANY NEGOTIATING.....AND ZACK WAS ABLE TO TAKE $1000 OFF THE SELLING PRICE!!! WHERE ELSE ARE YOU GONNA GET THAT??? GO SEE AND ASK FOR ZACK FOR YOUR VEHICLE NEEDS!!! FIRST CLASS PROFESSIONAL!!! SHELLY AND SCOTT....THANK YOU ZACK!!!!!

Bought it based on father's review of his happy to say I'm glad I went with it great vehicle with great fuel mileage. Plenty of leg room as I'm very tall and came with great options.

Overall it was a very good experience. Would buy from them again in the future.

Most trouble free car ever! In over 52k miles, this car has been amazing. Not a rocket ship, but a great city car/ev for a small family.

I am from out of town and called made a deal and they met me at a halfway point and have been wonderful during the whole process. Big shout out to Andrew

the vehicle is all around amazing i am a tuner and a honda guy thru and thru this little car I bought used stock and have modified the suspension and odd and ends but abused it daily now 30000 miles later she is still right their reliable as the day I bought her

Great people, great cars, great service! A no hassle dealership. I highly recommend using this deal ship for your next car.

I have a 2021 Prius AWD with 233,000 km. Not one issue. Starts even at -40 degrees and everything works as it should. No rattles or lose pieces. Just a solid car. I have driven through muddy roads and a foot of snow and the front air dam xxxxxxsnow and keeps going. Who needs an SUV when you’re driving one of these.

Leased a Volvo XC40 recently and worked with Raul. He was very knowledgeable and awesome to work with. The process was very seamless and I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in leasing or purchasing a Volvo. The entire process was very chill and would highly recommend Raul and O’Steen Volvo!! Thank you Raul!

Our 2015 2.4L Soul has been great. My wife works a split shift, so she commutes to and from work Twice a day. So it gets a lot of highway miles. We also have gone cross country a few times. Always serviced at the dealer (which is more expensive), But it kept the warranty alive. Engine needed replaced at 95K due to oil consumption, but warranty covered it. Now at 220K AC compressor died. But that is the 1st repair we have had to do. Everything else is holding up fine.

Shout out to all!!! Jeremy!! David!!!Alex!!! Cant recommend this dealership enough. Best!!! Fell upon this spot on a whim. Car hunting. My buddy and I said let’s go look why not. Best decision we could have made. He’s rocking a new Atlas crossover. I will be sporting a used Passat. Go!!! Do yourself a favor ask or Jeremy. For Jeremy.

I have owned a Kia Soul Brownstone Edition for 6 years now. It hasn't given us any issues aside from a brake ABS failure in warranty. However, since Kia skimped out on immobilizers, I wouldn't get one without push button start, which is most of them, unfortunately. While they extended the warranty on the engine, they have plenty of fundamental issues with it, and also, my Kia after 4 years, has noises in front and back suspension sway bars, and the strut tower bearings make noise. While these don't need to be fixed, they make the car sound like crap. I just drove a 2019 Kona with the same amount of miles, and the suspension on that was just fine. Might be due to the larger wheels and smaller profile tires, I don't know. If Kia ever sells the EV soul in the US, I'd get that. So far, they've been good.

7 years old and I've never had a single mechanical issue. Just maintain it per factory specs. Great gas mileage. Not a car to pick up chicks with.:0)==-)

Tony Lafeniere what's absolutely wonderful I could not have done this deal without him and the people here at this place is the best place to buy a car please see Tony when you come in cuz he is the man thank you I'm so glad that this new dealership is now in Palm Coast they have great great cars luxury cars of all types and the people inside are the friendliest and helpful they will try anything to help you get your car very flexible and very nice this is the spot.

Handles and drives great. A Spec package is top of the line for any driver. The Turbo gives you great pop if needed in fast moving traffic, Proud Owner

I had bought a new car and it needed the first service. I called Olsteen volkswagen to make an appointment. I talked to the service manager, not sure if they could get it done within the week. They had me bring it in the very next morning. When I arrived to the dealership I was greeted professionally and with kindness. I walked in and spoke with Anthony the service manager. He was very professional and kind as well. I didn't wait long at all when Anthony greeted me in the waiting room. I walked out and seen my car ready to go. Serviced and cleaned. I can't write enough to express my gratitude for the professional, kind and fast service they provide. Thank you Anthony and the Olsteen volkswagen jacksonville dealership.

Such a great car, so fun to drive in the summer. Such a skibidi ride with the most sigmas getting called to it. Thank you vw.
