Hey my lovely people!
As you all know, I'm in the market for a car to take me around and drive me to these makeup and hair events I seem to always frequent. Well thanks to Mazda, I got to test out the Mazda3! I never drove a Mazda before, let alone the second version! But if this third installment is anything better than the predisesors then I am grateful! As you guys know my external hard drive with all of my stuff are gone so bare with me with these stock footages!
Drive for Good
This year I asked God to help me just give back even more than I have in my life. First it was giveaways and then I reviewed the 2016 Mazda3 and this made me so happy. Mazda has a program where they committed to making a change by donating to its customers and communities. Now I'm not being paid to post this but this made me so happy. So basically how it works is; I got to get a card in which I could send money to any Charity of my choice and of course I chose 🇭🇹 Hope for Haiti 🇭🇹✊🏾. It was simple all I had to do was go on the website and submit the info. That's dope. I still got some giveaways for you guys. 💋
Driving
Now when I say this bad boy was comfortable.. I mean comfortable! I found myself driving with ease and very air like. I have driven this car through Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn and all I can say is I loved it! I found that the turns were smoother and when I hit a pot hole, you knew I would hit one or twelve while driving, I barely felt it. I am tall and found the car to be a bit small for me but not something that was unbearable. I more so cared about my big curly hair and not the actual size. My family fit in this car very comfortably and everyone gave me nothing but compliments. The gas on this car!!!!! Man oh man! I didn't even get to half a tank and I drove everywhere and charged my phone and used the navigation and everything! I also used the heat and the air conditioning ( if you know NYC you know the weather changes every second of everyday )We will get to the navigation in a few. All in all it was a very smooth ride and I didn't want to part from the car.
Cons
The only con for me was trying to understand the navigation and syncing my device to the radio. That was the most frustrating part of it all. I ended up just using my iPhone for navigation and it wouldn't play through the speakers till closer to the end of my drive with the car. I was annoyed with that and it would sync then unsync. All in all that was one of my pet peeves. The navigation wouldn't speak to me! I couldn't get it to talk for the life of me and that was frustrating as all heck.
Conclusion
As long as I have been reviewing cars... I think this is the first time I didnt want to part. I actually liked this car. It had great gas mileage and I was able to pretty much drive everywhere with ease. Everyone who was with me or saw or was in it liked it too. This is unbiased as usual. I only wish it was a hint bigger. I'm tall and my buns don't fit under the roof. All in all I liked it. Kalea loved it too. Will have an in depth review on my blog. Thank you Mazda and Driveshop #drivemazda 💋
