Safety
No matter where the 2018 Mazda3 takes you, you’ll always feel safe and secure. Dynamic Stability Control1 and Traction Control keep you on your intended path, even when the road gets a little bumpy. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System makes sure you’re always prepared for whatever road and weather conditions life throws your direction. Pulling out of tight spaces is a breeze with some help from the handy rearview camera2 every time you put the Mazda3 in reverse. Being prepared for the unexpected is the first step. The second is being able to respond in case of an emergency. That’s why the Mazda3 is equipped with advanced dual front airbags with passenger weight sensitivity and was built to protect you from the inside out using SKYACTIV® Body3 Ring Structure.

Technology
While some features are serious business, others are just for fun. Push Button Start is not only convenient, but it also makes you feel pretty cool and there’s nothing wrong with that. The 7-inch full-color touch-screen display equipped with a MAZDA CONNECT™4 Infotainment Center gets its name for a good reason. With a plethora of features including Bluetooth®5 hands-free phone and Pandora®, it’s hard to get bored in the Mazda3. Plus, you can control it all with voice command or steering-wheel mounted audio controls. One more thing, those are only the standard technology features. It’s hard to believe you could even need more when you already have everything!

Financing
If commitment isn’t your thing, then leasing is for you! In other words, leasing allows you to try new things without forking over a large sum of money or being tied down to a hefty financing plan for several years. If you choose to lease the 2018 Mazda3, you are essentially borrowing the vehicle for a predetermined amount of time and mileage. Don’t worry about figuring all of that out on your own, we have a highly skilled Finance Department that will work with you every step of the way to create a plan that’s just right for you! The best part about leasing is that when your agreement comes to its end, you’ll have plenty of options. If you have fallen in love with the 2018 Mazda3, you can always purchase it. You also have the choice to upgrade to its newest iteration, choose an entirely different Mazda to lease, or simply turn in the keys and walk out!

Testimonials
Great service and speed!
Friendly and helpful staff.
“ Friendly and helpful staff. Had my vehicle ready promptly and reviewed all services performed. ”
very quick
“ I first contacted Mr. PJ Jones over Cargurus, communication is very prompt and Mr. PJ gave me a competitive price and fee schedule. It is a bit nervous because I am from SC and will travel over 2 hours to get to their dealership, Gary the sales person makes the paperwork process very smooth. Upon arrival at Augusta, the buying process is very quick, I got the paperwork done in less than 20 minutes the most. To my surprise, whatever Mr. PJ quoted me over email is exactly what I am getting. No hidden fee, changes at the last minute. It is great to see people do business that way. The only small thing is they put a sticker on the back of the car which seems way to big, be nice if they can put smaller sticker that blends in better with the vehicle or just don't put the sticker on their. ”

Denny Mack was FANTASTIC!
“ Denny Mack was FANTASTIC! Great customer service and super friendly! Very easy to talk to! Great salesman! Will definitely be back when I need another car! ”
Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine
“ Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine. Before my appointment, I kept having to reschedule my appointments. He offered to let me use his car if I needed it. People are not kind anymore. That was the nicest thing anyone has said or offered to do in quite some time. He also gave me a discount. I was very grateful for. He is willing to help in anyway possible. He made my experience with Mazda EXCELLENT! Thank you Kevin. God bless you! ”
Everyone there is super helpfu

Best car buying experience ever.

Friendly fast service
“ Friendly fast service had oil change and a recall on my car done in less than an hour ”
This was the best car buying experience I have ever had
“ This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I worked with the dealer via text and phone and lined up great pricing and a trade in value (numbers checked vs. Kelly Blue Book) as well as approved 5 year/ 0% financing the day before I before I went to the dealership. I had to drive from Charleston to Augusta because none of the Charleston or Columbia dealers could even get close to this deal. When I got there, they didn't try to change any of the terms or upsell me anything else. They just showed me all the features on my new car, had me sign the paperwork, and I was out of there in 40 minutes total. Plus I LOVE my new CX5!!! This is how car buying should be. ”
Great folks, Great Place!
