Technology
The technology on the inside of the 2018 Mazda3 is up-to-date and ready for you to enjoy! The standard 7-inch full-color touch-screen display is your command center and MAZDA CONNECT™2 infotainment system makes it easy to navigate everything from Bluetooth®3 hands-free calling to Pandora® internet radio integration. Steering wheel mounted controls and SMS text message audio delivery and reply help keep your eyes focused on the road ahead even when you have important business to attend to. When it’s time to play, opt for the Bose® 9-speaker surround sound system with Centerpoint® 2 and AudioPilot® 2 to fill your cabin with the beautiful sound of music and immerse yourself in a concert-like experience!

Safety
By combining technology and safety, driving with confidence has been given a whole new meaning. Don’t let dark roads, busy city streets, or parallel parking hold you back from where you need to go. The standard rear view camera4 is the second pair of eyes you always wished you had when pulling out of your driveway or navigating tight parking spaces. Available Lane Departure Warning System5 and Lane Keep Assist6 allow you to maneuver your Mazda3 with ease and always stay on your intended path. While some safety features are meant to prevent you from getting into a collision, others are there for you when you when the unexpected happens, such as advanced dual front air bags with passenger weight sensors7, whiplash-reducing front seat headrests, and SKYACTIV®1 Body Ring Structure.

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! ”

Friendly fast service

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!
