Every year the newest models of cars fight tooth and nail for awards from a variety of companies. These companies award titles such as highest economic value or best crash ratings. Mazda continually crafts cars that top the charts, and the heavily-awarded Mazda3 continues this tradition. The 2016 Mazda3 handily beat out its competitors and was even named the 2016 Best Car Brand by U.S. News and World Report.

 

The Mazda3 has received several upgrades and improvements for this model year which caught critics’ eyes. The changes helped the company earn several honors, including being named the most fuel-efficient auto manufacturer in the United States by the EPA. The Mazda3 is a perfect representation of this fuel-efficiency, with benchmarks of 41 highway mpg and 30 mpg average in the city. The greater efficiency doesn’t take away from the vehicle’s ability to exhilarate though; the 2.0-liter engine still packs a punch and creates a thrilling driving experience.

 

The Mazda3 also tops the charts in terms of safety. Thanks to the implementation of a Smart City Brake Support System, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the Mazda3 a 2016 Top Safety Pick Plus. The Mazda3 also achieved a 5-star crash test safety rating from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a great accolade that any family car should have.

 

With its increasingly larger number of awards and achievements, it’s easy to see why the Mazda3 has superb economic value. The car has been named a 10 Best by Car and Driver 3 years in a row, a 10 Best Sedan Under $25,000 by Kelley Blue Book three years in a row and one of the 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000 by Kelley Blue Book. To see all these awards in action, head to Cardinale Mazda to test drive a new or pre-owned Mazda3 for yourself.
