Not only is the 2019 Mazda3 a much stronger and roomier model than its Fiesta counterpart, but it’s also much better equipped to give you a controlled and centered experience behind the wheel. This is thanks to G-Vectoring Control Plus and an available I-ACTIV AWD® system, both of which can help direct throttle response to the right wheels and keep you stable through any condition – that’s something that the Fiesta just can’t match.
Plus, the 2019 Mazda3 has all the tech capacities needed to keep you moving forward in confidence. It offers a premium Bose® audio system that can play all your favorite songs (and important conversations) in clarity, all the while keeping you safe from any oncoming harm that might arise. Safety and serenity are the Mazda3’s bread and butter, exemplified by the following driver assistance features:
It’s these and more that have allowed the 2019 Mazda3 to achieve a 5-star NHTSA safety rating, unrivaled by the 2019 Fiesta. By now, we think you get the picture as to why we love this sedan so much here at Janesville Mazda, so give us a call to schedule a test drive; you’ll be glad you did!
