First glimpse inside the 2015 Mazda3!

Perhaps the most popular car our customers at Don Mealey’s Sport Mazda, a new Mazda dealership in Orlando, Florida, drive off the lot with would happen to be the 2013 Mazda3. It’s easy to see why when looking at the SkyActiv engine offering up to 40 miles per gallon, excellent safety features, and comfort for the whole family at an affordable price, the Mazda3 is an excellent choice for any auto shopper. When the 2014 Mazda6 released in January, our customers and auto enthusiasts took notice to the new design and expressed hopes that the newest Mazda3 would take on the same design features. This past year, test pictures of the new Mazda3 began surfacing online that showed yes indeed the newest Mazda3 was taking on the shape of the larger 2014Mazda6. However, no one really knew what the interior of the car looked like.

The latest round of pictures of the test 2015 Mazda3 out in the wild have picked up an excellent shot of the interior! Borrowing elements of the 2014 Mazda6’s design, the interior has a significantly noticeable center touch screen protruding from the console of the dashboard. With no official details on these features, it is exciting to know that Mazda has listened to past criticisms about the size of the information screen in current Mazda vehicles by making a larger screen. We should know more about the latest Mazda3 later this year, potentially at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

How a weaker Yen means more Mazda savings for you!

The saying “strike while the iron is hot” means everything to someone looking for the right moment to act. At Don Mealey’s Sport Mazda, a new Mazda dealer in Orlando, we would like to turn that saying into “buy while the yen is low!” For the past 6 months, the Japanese Yen has declined 16% to the US dollar meaning exports to the US have become more profitable for Japanese automakers. Why would this matter to an auto shopper? Well, it just so happens to mean that US car shoppers looking for the best deal on a new Mazda are in the midst of the best savings they have been offered for the past few years!

With sales of the 2014 Mazda6 and 2014 Mazda CX-5 on the rise, Mazda is offering great new incentives for new car shoppers. Low monthly lease rates of these brand new 2014 models are both $219 a month for 36 months. Also, Mazda owners looking at upgrading their current vehicle can take part in the Mazda Owner Loyalty Bonus which gives an extra $500 to $1000 towards the purchase or lease of your next Mazda! Local Mazda dealers like Sport Mazda in Central Florida also are offering their own incentives on remaining 2012 and 2013. “Buy while the Yen is low” should be on the tip of every car buyers tongue when searching for their next new import!
