Winter driving can be a daunting task, but the Mazda3 Hatch FWD w/Prem Pkg proved to be a reliable companion on my recent journeys through the snowy landscapes of Appalachia and Pittsburgh. This car not only surprised me but also impressed me with its performance in challenging conditions.
The Mazda3 handled the winter snow with remarkable ease. Its front-wheel-drive system, combined with the premium package, provided excellent traction and stability on icy roads. The car’s ability to navigate through snow-covered paths in Appalachia and Pittsburgh was nothing short of impressive.
My family has a Mazda dealership is in Riverhead, NY. They are currently building a new facility, which is an exciting development. I anticipate they will sell a lot of this Mazda 3.
The Mazda3 Hatch FWD w/Prem Pkg offers ample cargo space, which was a significant advantage for my travels. I managed to pack two suitcases, numerous clothes, and materials for programming, all while comfortably accommodating my mother. The car’s spacious interior made our drives around the Washington DC metropolitan area a pleasant experience.
My drives took me on various highways, including I-270, I-70, and I-81, through the picturesque Appalachian Hills and around Martinsburg. The Mazda3’s performance on these routes was stellar, providing a smooth and enjoyable ride.
The Mazda3 integrates a host of advanced technologies, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which kept me connected throughout my journey. The driver-assist packages, such as lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control, were particularly useful on the highways, enhancing safety and convenience.

The center stack features a 10.25-inch color display with a touchscreen, providing easy access to navigation and entertainment. The Mazda’s Bose premium sound system, with 12 speakers, delivered an immersive audio experience, perfect for enjoying music created with the Carnegie Mellon music department.
The Mazda3 is also fuel-efficient, with an EPA rating of 31 miles per gallon on the highway. The base price of the Mazda3 2.5 S Premium Package 5-Door Hatchback FWD is $30,350
