New and used 2026 Mazda Mazda3 for sale near Foresthill, CA

I recently purchased a Mazda CX‑5, and I wanted to take a moment to formally recognize the outstanding service provided by Sales Consultant, Madeline Palmieri. Having spent much of my career in both software Operations and Sales, I’ve worked with a wide range of sales professionals. Madeline stands out. From the moment she was introduced as my consultant, she demonstrated a warm, confident, and customer‑focused approach. When I expressed interest in the CX‑5, she walked me through the vehicle and highlighted key features without overwhelming the conversation or making assumptions about what mattered most to me. It was an effective and thoughtful way to begin the interaction. In contrast to the common opener—“What questions do you have?”—which often feels transactional or even dismissive, Madeline guided the conversation with genuine curiosity. She asked the question most salespeople overlook: “What’s important to you in your next vehicle?” That simple but essential step allowed her to tailor the discussion to my needs rather than defaulting to a generic feature rundown. Whether this approach comes from formal training (Sandler perhaps?) or natural instinct, it reflects a consultative sales style that is both rare and refreshing. Throughout the process, she handled my questions and requests regarding features, purchasing options, and pricing with efficiency and professionalism. At no point did she keep me waiting unnecessarily or make me feel like an inconvenience. Her consistency and attention to the customer experience were evident at every stage. You are fortunate to have such a skilled and polished salesperson on your team. Madeline represented Stevenson Hendrick Mazda exceptionally well, and she made the buying experience a positive one.

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.

Very knowledgeable staff, appreciate the orientation of the features of my car. Had all my questions answered since I had not bought a vehicle for 12 years.

Wonderful accommodating service, flew in from Utah to save money buying this truck. Eddie was fantastic to work with!

Helen Scott was very professional and attentive to my needs had a great experience satisfied with my purchase will recommend highly to all my friends

The salesman I had was very great. Dustin Boothe. Very nice and very knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone. Very helpful. I really appreciate his patience and knowing about all I need to know. Thank you Dustin.

Jared was super helpful and patient with us. He made it super easy to find exactly what I wanted.

Great customer service!! The service department is very professional also! This dealer also recently remodeled the show room and it looks great! They are always updating the body styles on their cars and they keep looking better and better!

I had a great time in the dealership. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Joseph did everything to help me get my CX5 as quick and as convenient as possible. Very happy.

Corey and team went above and beyond to help me and my twin 16 yr old daughters. We had just spent 2 hrs at a competitors dealership getting belittled and chastised. So after leaving that dealership we stopped at Cardinaleway just to look at their used cars. We couldnt have been greeted by a nicer salesman than JP. He went out of his way to show us everything they had within our price range. It was also 115 outside and that didnt stop him from providing great customer service. But what was the best customer service was Corey providing me a suggestion of leasing 2 new mazda 3 versus buying 2 used cars. The outcome was better than expected. I ended up with 2 new 2018 cars for less out of pocket money and a lower monthly payment that I currently had with one car. There was no pressure at all! I have never felt so comfortable in buying a new car than I did at this dealership. The entire process was awesome. Everyone was so friendly and kind. It truly felt like family. I highly recommend this dealership who doesnt want to play the high pressure car buying game. THANKS COREY AND TEAM!! YOU ROCK!!!

Great service. I bought a car with them and later had an issue. They asked to bring, got me a loaner and they took care of it no charge. David was great and his colleague at the service counter were great

I do not have enough good things to say about working with Ivan to get our dream car. He was exceedingly knowledgeable about our CX-50 and spent a solid 30 minutes or more walking us through the features and making sure the car was comfortable for me to drive off in. He got us the exact price we wanted and expected, and was extremely friendly and patient, even when dealing with another customer at the same time towards closing time. He even offered to take our picture with our new car before leaving! I will always highly recommend Ivan and this dealership.

Had a great experience with Stevenson Mazda and Levi here at the dealership. He worked with me and was very patient.

Customer service is off the charts at the Walser Polar Mazda! Thank you Ketrell for the incredible first time car buying experience!

Everyone at the dealership treated me and my wife with with the most respect and understanding possible so to me The Mazda Dealership is the best dealership to conduct a happy beneficial car buying experience signed your loyal Costermer Brian an Melanie

This is the second vehicle we have purchased from Royal Moore GMC, and once again it was the easiest car-buying experience we?ve ever had. From start to finish, the sales process was seamless, straightforward, and completely stress-free. We knew exactly what we were looking for, and there was absolutely no unnecessary pressure or back-and-forth?just clear communication and efficiency. They were incredibly accommodating with our timing and the speed of delivery. Omid oversaw the deal while Jeremy handled the sales side, and they worked in parallel to make sure our time at the dealership was kept to a minimum. Nathan in finance had everything prepared ahead of time, so the finance process was quick, smooth, and painless.

Great place to buy a car. Thanks for the great things and how I felt at the Dealership. Alejandra Rengifo and Juan. They was great.

Great experience with the staff. I am really very impressed with this dealer from sales to management to maintenance people

Quick response from the folks at the dealership. Set up a day to come by. No pressure from anyone there. Explained their process, pricing and service. Super clean, super polite people there. The car we were looking at got sold the next day while we checked on another vehicle. Dealership let us know immediately. I will go back when looking for another car! Very professional.

Gary was the best salesman! Truly know how to get things done! Thank you Mazda. Happy to be apart of the Mazda family.

What an absolutely fantastic buying experience, probably the best one I?ve ever had. A dealership that actually knows how to treat people, cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this experience.
