Performance
If you’re ready to add excitement to your life, there’s nothing like getting behind the wheel of a performance-oriented vehicle like the Mazda3. With its standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine under your control, you’ll be weaving in and out of traffic like a pro. Pumping out 155 horsepower and 150 lb.-ft. of torque, the Mazda3 will reinvigorate those long drives out to Little Falls Stream Valley Park. The MacPherson strut front suspension and multilink rear suspension ensure you’ll have a silky-smooth ride regardless of the destination, while the 4-wheel ABS brakes will bring you to a complete stop when traffic suddenly gets backed up. To top it off, you won’t be spending all your hard-earned cash on gas, since this set of wheels offers a 27/37/31 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel efficiency rating.
Exterior
You won’t have to worry about being ignored when you’re driving through town in the 2018 Mazda3. With its gracefully arcing body lines and wide stance, you’ll have the attention of the entire neighborhood when you pull into your driveway. Halogen headlights and Daytime Running Lights come standard and will light the way forward on the darkest roads, while the black beltline trim and body-colored power side mirrors will astonish all those you pass by. If you wanted to add a more dynamic look to the exterior, spring for the Appearance package, which adds side sills, a rear diffuser, door mirror caps, and a black front air dam.
Safety
When safety is the name of the game, the Mazda3 has got you covered with plenty of protective technologies like Hill Launch Assist2 and Smart City Brake Support3. The former makes it easier to get started from an incline by holding the brake while you move your foot to the gas pedal, while the latter prepares the braking system for maximum stopping power when the sensor detects a possible collision. Additionally, the tire pressure monitoring system will warn you when the inflation levels of your tires drop below safe levels. If you frequently drive the kids to school, you’ll appreciate that this ride features the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children system, which simplifies the installation process of child safety seats.

Testimonials












“ Not interested ”












“ Very good dealership. Honest and professional. ”

“ They are great! I had a problem with the Blind Spot Monitoring System on my 2017 Mazda CX-3. I had taken it to Brown's and Priority in Virginia and they fumbled around and could not get it calibrated. I had to contact Mazda Corp in California. Mazda Corp cares! They set up an appointment with Gaithersburg Mazda, even had my car toed (at Mazda's expense) because I had a broken arm and could not drive, and these folks finally did what should have been a year ago by either Brown's or Priority. So, I highly recommend THIS Mazda dealership for service. Big thanks! ”

“ Awesome parts department! Super friendly and helpful! ”






"Your Choice For A New Mazda "






“ I wanted to say how great all the staff at Gburg Mazda have been in helping me get the Mazda MX5 RF I have wanted for quite some time. Todd Patton was very helpful and answered all my questions and made the whole car buying experience easy to deal with. The car I wanted had to be ordered and it was easy for them to do and got me the car I wanted quickly as well. Upon arriving at the dealership just off the carrier Todd took the time to let me inspect the car and answered all my questions as well. After that Todd and Amin Rehman in finance took there time and helped me work out numbers that were much better than other dealerships offered me for the same car. They also gave me a wonderful price for my trade in as well. Also Todd and Amin got me awesome 1.9% financing as well and saved me a bundle as well. If you need a new Mazda Todd Patton and Amin Rehman are tops in there fields of expertise and will help you get the car you want for a great price as well. My hats off to all the staff at Gaithersburg Mazda for making my car deal a trouble free and easy experience as well. Thanks Again ”






“ After a terrible time at the Dundalk Mazda, I was very relieved to meet Sri who made purchasing my new MAzda CX-9 a breeze! Negotiation was easy and amicable, he took his time and was not pushy. Although the process took us after hours, he still spent the time to review all of the cars features once we purchased it. Will return for a future purchase. Thanks Sri. ”






“ I've bought 4 cars here. Very good deals on trades if you have a vehicle in demand. ”












“ Sri did a fantastic job with our acquisition of a Certified CX5 internet sale. He's a super pro, had the paperwork, loan and car completely prepped for our trip to Gaithersburg Mazda. Great salesman, great car, great experience. Thanks Sri! ”






“ Came here to pick up a lightly used SUV. Excellent customer service and very friendly sales representatives. ”












“ Had problem with my CX9 after 40 k service. Car broke down in South Carolina and needed to be repaired there. Gaithersburg Mazda stood behind their work and … ”






“ Had problem with my CX9 after 40 k service. Car broke down in South Carolina and needed to be repaired there. Gaithersburg Mazda stood behind their work and reimbursed for repairs. That's the way you keep customers! Thanks Harry ”






“ Had problem with my CX9 after 40 k service. Car broke down in South Carolina and needed to be repaired there. Gaithersburg Mazda stood behind their work and reimbursed for repairs. That's the way you keep customers! Thanks Harry ”






“ Had problem with my CX9 after 40 k service. Car broke down in South Carolina and needed to be repaired there. Gaithersburg Mazda stood behind their work and reimbursed for repairs. That's the way you keep customers! Thanks Harry ”






“ Looking for a relatively new car. Selection here was pretty good. Going to continue shopping around ”






“ I am so happy with my experience at this Mazda location and could not be more excited about my certified new used 2018 Mazda CX-5. Everyone was so helpful throughout the process from Joe showing me the car, having it waiting for me out front when I arrived, and taking the time to explain and answer any questions. Joe’s enthusiasm and genuine care made a difference. Amin also took a lot of time to explain the finances with me as I am a first time car buyer. I really appreciated it. Thank you for a great buying experience! ”


















“ Sri (salesman) was fantastic! I bought a new 2018 Mazda3 and Sri was super helpful and nice throughout the whole process, including an extensive briefing on operating the car after I purchased it. In fact, everyone at Gaithersburg Mazda was super helpful, starting with John with whom I talked on the phone. It was John who told me that I could get a new 2018 Mazda3 for only a little more than a used Mazda3. That got me into the dealership, at which point Sri spent a ton of time with me. Sri's manager, Harpeet, was also very nice and helpful, as was the finance guy (whose name escapes me at the moment). ”






“ (Translated by Google) nice cars (Original) Bonitos carros ”






“ I bought a 2011 Mazdaspeed3 from this dealership a year ago I know the review is late. Nonetheless, I had a great experience there and got a great car at a great price and the car has had zero issues whatsoever since I have bought it. Very happy with my purchase I drove all the way from Vineland NJ to pick up the car which is about 3 hours away and I was not disappointed at all. I would definitely go back to buy a new Mazda from them if I ever decide to part ways with my Mazdaspeed3. ”






“ Great experience from a first-time Mazda buyer. Sri was a great salesman, not pushy and took time to answer all of our questions. Our negotiations were fair. Impressively, Sri followed up with us multiple times after we got the car. He made us feel less like a sales number and he seemed genuinely concerned that we liked the car and knew all of its features. He also offered to meet us again in the coming months to go over anything with the car. Management (Amin) was also helpful and worked with us to get a competitive loan. Make this a stop on your car-buying visit! ”






“ Hi! I'm the dummy who came in with a key fob that didn't work. I had changed the battery myself and it wasn't until I walked to the service desk that it occurred to me that it might be in upside down. Fortunately, Steve was there to give some good natured ribbing and quickly pop my fob open, point out the giant + sign and put the battery back in. Really appreciated it and definitely appreciate the fact the guy was happy and enjoying himself at work! ”






“ Long story short, the dealership took in our car for service, and messed up the paperwork, causing delays in our car registration. When we called, they were very apologetic and fixed the situation within 24 hours, and refunded our money. Honest people. ”












“ Perfect ”






“ Great place 2 buy a mazda ”












“ I bought my first CX-5 here with the best price offered around the MD area. Sri, the sale guy was nice and friendly to me and my mom. I was pleased with the service department for the installation with CarPlay and remote key. Highly recommend this dealership. ”

“ I rarely write reviews but I had a great experience at Mazda Gaithersburg specially with the sales gentleman Joe. If you want a good experience and no sales pressure you have to check this place out and ask for Joe. I found him to be very positive and uplifting. I’m leaving this review despite the fact that I ended up not buying a Mazda. I found the management team to be reasonable as well. ”
