Exterior
There are a number of ways that the Mazda3 Sedan 2.5 S Select Sport takes style to the next level. While the base version of this model came with body-colored dual-folding power side mirrors, this edition includes a solid Black version with a heating function. That way, when you pick a contrasting paint color, you can flaunt your personal touch. That being said, this trim grants you access to hues like Soul Red Crystal Metallic1, Platinum Quartz Metallic, Machine Gray Metallic1, Ceramic Metallic1 — all of which weren't available on the base grade. The 2.5 S Select Sport continues to impress by offering a gloss Black finish for the grille, along with 18-inch wheels.
Interior
Your treks down Deans Bridge Road will be amplified with the 2024 Mazda3 Sedan 2.5 S Select Sport, because the cabin includes a wealth of amenities that you'll find interesting. If you and your copilot have different temperature preferences, you'll both appreciate that this edition comes with a dual-zone automatic climate control system. That way, you won't have to settle on a happy medium. Those who are positioned in the rear row will be able to find their preferred positions without losing their drinks, thanks to the armrest cupholders. For a luxurious feel, you'll have leatherette-trimmed sport seats! To match, the steering wheel and gear selector have been wrapped in leather.
Performance
You can count on the Mazda3 Sedan 2.5 S Select Sport to bring you to the Augusta Country Club in a timely fashion. Under the hood of this trim is a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, which pumps out a lively 191 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission and FWD are also implemented into this model, which grant impressive acceleration and an estimated 27/37/31 MPG city/hwy/combined2 fuel economy rating. Thanks to the standard independent MacPherson strut front and torsion beam axle rear suspension, you'll practically glide over bothersome bumps and cracks in the road.

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. ”

“ 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! ”

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!
