Your Mazda dealer isn't technically supposed to pick favorites from among the fantastic models on offer, but if we did, the 2024 Mazda3 would have to be a top contender. Here's a partial list of the reasons why we love it. Our 5 Favorite Features of the 2024 Mazda3 (from a Mazda Dealer) 1. The Zoom-Zoom Spirit Mazda's slogan for the Mazda3 is simple: for those who never stop refining. And the truth is, the Mazda3 has routinely graced Top 10 lists in its class for years. Each edition of the Mazda3 has built on past successes and continued refining the driving experience, making the 2024 edition the best Mazda3 yet. The standard 2.5-liter DOCH SKYACTIV engine puts out a plentiful 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, and the Turbo trims amp that up as high as 250 horsepower and a whopping 320 lb-ft of torque. With independent MacPherson struts and a torsion bar rear axle, the Mazda3 is made for going zoom-zoom with a big grin on your face. 2. The Comfort of Safety The IIHS has designated the Mazda3 as a Top Safety Pick+ for 2024, and it's not hard to figure out why. With five-star crash test ratings from the NHTSA and a bevy of safety features, the Mazda3 is incredibly safe to drive. It offers features like: Whiplash-reducing front headrest design Side impact air curtains and front and rear side-impact airbags i-Activsense Technology Front and rear safety-belt pretensioners with force limiters Blind spot monitoring Lane Departure Warning Mazda Radar Cruise Control 3. The Absolutely Luscious Interiors Whether it's the leatherette on the S Select Sport or the leather-trimmed sport seats of the S Premium and Turbo Premium Plus models, the Mazda3's seats feel sporty. Almost every model features leather wrappings on the steering wheel and gear selector, and most models feature heated front seats with an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power-adjustable lumbar support. 4. The Commander Control Every Mazda3 comes with a touchscreen infotainment system standard. But what makes Mazda Connect different is the multifunction Commander control: a centrally located, satisfying-to-use control knob that lets you intuitively browse and select from the user-friendly menu. And if you're the type of commander who prefers a hands-free option for controlling the radio, the system accepts voice commands, too. 5. The Manual Transmission Nothing makes a driver feel more connected to a car than a manual transmission. Sadly, they're a dying breed, but the Mazda3 is keeping the manual transmission alive. With a leather-wrapped gear shift and ergonomically-designed gear throws, Mazda has put everything into making the manual transmission a joy. The manual transmission is available on the S Premium Hatchback trim, and we can't recommend it highly enough. Come experience the joy of zoom-zoom that is the Mazda3. Schedule a test drive with us at Rochester Mazda in Rochester, MN, and fall in love with the Mazda3.

Clean oil is essential for your motor. It helps to extend your motor's useful life, improve the performance of your motor, and boost your fuel economy. If you don't change your oil regularly, your engine can overheat or other problems can occur. Keep reading to discover some of the most common signs that your car needs an oil change from your local Mazda dealer. Does Your Mazda Need an Oil Change From Your Local Mazda Dealer? If Your Oil Is Dark and Dirty It is time to visit your local dealership to have a certified Mazda mechanic change your oil if your oil is dark and dirty. To tell if your oil is dirty, you first need to take the dipstick out of the oil tank. Then, you need to wipe it off on a paper towel, reinsert it, and take it out again. Your oil needs to be changed as soon as possible if you cannot see the dipstick through the dark, sludgy oil. Ideally, your oil should be amber and fairly translucent. To help ensure that your motor isn't damaged due to dirty oil, you should check the cleanliness of your oil monthly. If Your Engine Sounds Louder Than Normal Another sign that it is time for a mechanic to change your oil is your engine sounding louder than it normally does. For example, you may hear rumbling or knocking sounds because your oil is no longer lubricating the components of your engine, keeping them from rubbing against each other. If You See an Engine-Related Light on Your Dashboard You should also bring your Mazda to your local dealer to change your oil if an engine-related light on your dash is illuminated. If there isn't enough oil in your oil tank, your oil change light will come on, and a mechanic must change your oil and determine why there isn't enough oil in your oil tank. If it has been a very long time since your oil was last changed, you will see your check engine light illuminated, indicating damage to your motor. If You Smell Oil While Driving You should also have a qualified Mazda mechanic change your oil if you smell oil in your car when you drive. This can indicate an oil leak. A similar sign is smelling exhaust fumes or gas. Having a qualified mechanic change your Mazda's oil regularly is extremely important for your motor's longevity and performance. To tell if it is time for your oil to be changed, you should check the cleanliness of your oil monthly and pay attention to the sights, sounds, and smells of your car when you drive.

As cross-over SUVs go, few can rival the looks and performance of the Mazda CX-5. What makes the vehicle so exceptional is the technology and engineering that lies behind its stunning exterior. A visit to a Mazda dealer will show that this has resulted in many standout features that set it apart from other vehicles in its class. 4 Standout Features of The 2023 Mazda CX-5 on Show at Your Mazda Dealer All-Wheel Drive One of the most impressive aspects of the CX-5 is the number of advanced features that come as standard across all the trim levels. The I-Activ AWD System is an excellent example. Providing all-wheel drive technology, the system constantly judges road conditions, monitors wheel movement, and assesses the ride. It then adjusts the power supplied to each wheel to ensure a smooth journey, regardless of road conditions. Off-Road Mode In conjunction with the AWD system, the CX-5 has an impressive off-road capability built in. If you have to navigate muddy farm tracks or are suddenly confronted with rugged terrain, the off-road traction assist will help you cross the ground more efficiently. The mode uses a combination of intelligent braking and traction control to stop wheel spin and improve surface grip. It moderates the torque applied to each wheel at a given moment allowing the car to cross different types of ground easily. Radar Cruise Control Aiding the driver is crucial for improving and enhancing the driving experience. To this end, several technological innovations are incorporated into the CX-5, with Radar Cruise Control being a great example. The cruise control can be set to manage your speed and distance from the car in front using radar to regulate both. If you come up behind a slower-moving vehicle, the speed is reduced until the vehicle moves away or you change lanes, allowing the speed to revert to its set level automatically. Large Cargo Volume The CX-5 is not just about style and ride but also about practicality. An illustration of this is the up to 59 cu ft of cargo space available, with the rear seats and floorboards set in the right configuration. You can aid access to the cargo area with the optional Rear Power Liftgate, which can be set to open at different heights. The liftgate has the added safety feature of automatically locking if you don't open it fully within a few seconds, ensuring it doesn't spring open when moving off. The CX-5 is genuinely an impressive vehicle, and these standout features contribute immensely to an enhanced ride and driving experience. Reading about these features is one thing, but appreciating how much difference they make is another. That is why driving the 2023 CX-5 is the best way to discover how good it really is. Call in on us at Rochester Mazda and arrange a test drive today.
