What makes the Mazda3 a must-drive vehicle for auto shoppers?

The Mazda3 has been one of the most important vehicles to hit the road in the past decade thanks to solid engineering and design that has revolutionized the way people think of cars. Undecided new car shoppers looking for the right compact sedan that visit Don Mealey’s Sport Mazda in Orlando, Florida are never disappointed with the performance and style of the Mazda3 when a Mazda Expert lets them take a spin behind the wheel. The Globe and Mail recently published an article explaining what exactly makes the Mazda3 such a special car that stands out from other cars in its class.

It’s no surprise that a major standout point from other similarly priced and classed vehicles was the suite of Skyactiv technologies that make the Mazda3 unique from the others. The chassis, engine and transmission does not give up performance for fuel economy and as mentioned in the article “it deliciously churns up power and delivers it to the front wheels in an unhurried way.” We can only expect great things for the Mazda3 in the future with the upcoming 2014 iteration expected to release this summer along with the new Skyactiv Diesel engine. Find out for yourself what makes the 2013 Mazda3 a contender for best compact on the road by scheduling a test drive with a Mazda Expert today at SportMazdaOrlando.com.
