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.

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!

Heritage Mazda Bel Air review

I decided to trade my car and took the drive to Heritage

I decided to trade my car and took the drive to Heritage Mazda in Bel Air. From the moment I got out of the car, I was greeted by Chaudhry Shahjhan. He took such good care of me. From the complimentary water to speaking with the finance manager, Josh to my final decision to move forward with the purchase.. I couldn’t be happier! Everyone was so nice and they listened to what I was looking for and made it happen! This is a great place to do business!!!!

Bryson our sales rep was extremely professional and

Bryson our sales rep was extremely professional and patient while we decided which vehicle to purchase. We had a good idea which vehicle we wanted but weren’t sure which trim level. Bryson walked us through all the different features and the test drives. We found the perfect car for us. Victor, the manager, also was extremely helpful getting us the best deal possible. We hopefully will enjoy the car for many years!

Chris Holder was AMAZING!

Chris Holder was AMAZING! The car we wanted was at their dealership in Catonsville and within the hour it was at Heritage Mazda Bel Air for us. Chris is extremely knowledgeable about the cars on the lot and the brands they are selling. Ask for Chris Holder if you’re in the market for a car.
