Heritage Mazda Towson review

James wilder.

James wilder. All day every day, incredible salesmen. So helpful, not pushy, and just a great guy. Left with my mom's dream car with the price we wanted. If you end up with him, you'll end up happy. Took a lot of negotiating for the trade in though. First offer was pretty insulting.

2026 Mazda Mazda3 FWD w/Preferred Package review

Bought 26' Mazda 3 hatchback Premium 6spd.

Bought 26' Mazda 3 hatchback Premium 6spd. While this car occupies a niche segment, a manual transmission car (not a CUV), it is a practical daily commuter car that also brings some driving joy to my enthusiast side. This model has been around since 2019 but still looks like it could have been a new model release. The interior is one of the nicest in the segment. All places touched frequently are covered in soft plastics or leather. The options include a complete host of safety and driver aids, headup display, lane departure, and adaptive cruise are actually helpful and not intrusive. I enjoy the Bose 12spkr system while rowing through the gears. The transmission is smooth and precise. This is not a fast car but it is a joy driving with spirit. The back seats are snug but our young children fit comfortably. The rear hatch is deep and fits enough for getaways or Costco runs. The handling is confidence inspiring that keeps you grinning even well within the car's limits. Having owned other Mazdas including Mazda6 6spd v6, CX 5 twice...the Mazda 3 hasn't disappointed. The Mazda 3 is a fun car that delivers a rewarding experience, decent fuel efficiency, adequate practicality, and an interior that feels premium. The long term reliability is the really what seals the deal. We're looking forward to many years of enjoying ownership.

Chaudhry Shahjhan is the most polite and professional

Chaudhry Shahjhan is the most polite and professional salesman I have ever worked with. We shopped for several types of cars and he assisted us in deciding on the perfect car.

Martin Mazda review

James King-Robinson and Nick Saporito were great to work

James King-Robinson and Nick Saporito were great to work with answer all my questions and no high pressure sale pitch. Got the deal I wanted on a 2025 Mazda CX50 along with no pressure to buy add on at the time of signing the paper work. They also gave me a starting price before stepping into the dealership, where other try to make you test drive before giving you any starting point price..

Heritage Mazda Towson review

5 Stars!

5 Stars! I had an excellent experience at Heritage Mazda Towson! James, my dealer, was professional, knowledgeable, and made the car-buying process smooth and stress-free. Ben, the finance manager, was equally great—clear, efficient, and helpful in explaining everything. I couldn’t be happier with my new car and the outstanding service I received. Highly recommend this team if you’re in the market for a vehicle!
