Shopping for a pre-owned vehicle can be similar to house hunting. Whether from personal experience, word-of-mouth, or television shows, you probably have some idea of what to consider when you shop for a home. You know to set a budget, make a checklist of must-have features, and so on. The same thoughtful consideration should be put into shopping for a car. Here are four tips for choosing the right Mazda certified pre-owned vehicle.

Pickups and Country Music Concerts – Summer 2015
Pickup trucks and country music go together like pie and ice cream. At work and at play, Americans love their pickups. You haven’t really enjoyed a country music concert, sporting event, or a day at the lake until you have added the fun of a barbecue or picnic from the tailgate of your very own pickup truck. Tailgating is also an excellent way of making new friends and getting to know your old friends even better.
What Your Car Color Says About You
Red, yellow, black, gray, blue, green and more recently titanium, gun metal and auburn… These days, automakers are producing cars in all of the aforementioned colors, plus more that you’ve probably never even heard of. Some are beautiful, others, ehhh not so much. The question: Is the color of your automobile a reflection of your personality or is it a near-meaningless detail? Rest easy, for Mazda of South Charlotte is here to judge you solely based on the color of your car.
BLACK
The color black on an automobile says a mouthful about its owner. Black is a color associated with luxury and power; therefore it is more likely to be seen on a luxury car than on an economy car. Cadillac, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW sell the majority of their sedans in some shade of black because they naturally represent power, luxury, and prestige.
Caring for Your Mazda in the Winter
Isn’t it worth spending an hour or two of your time to winterize your Mazda before winter weather strikes – and you end up sitting on the side of the road in a cold, dead car waiting for help? The very last thing anyone wants is to break down at all, much less in cold weather. You can save yourself the bother and frustration – and even danger – of this by simply checking and winter-proofing your vehicle. Just bring your car, truck or SUV to our service experts to make sure you are safe and secure on the roads around Charlotte, NC this winter.
Car buying can be an arduous process, and it is often emotional. Deciding between a vehicle you want and what you need in a vehicle are important parts of that decision. You want to be safe on the road. You want value from your vehicle. Versatility, for your personal requirements, is important, too. And who doesn’t like a bit of style? There are so many types, styles and sizes of vehicles available today that it can be hard to choose. You can start by asking yourself a few questions and gathering some facts. Here are some pros and cons to help you decide between a truck, car, crossover or SUV.
Should you buy a Truck?
A truck is generally meant for work – or to take you off-roading to that sweet fishing spot. Do you need to haul gear or equipment for work? While you may never be able to hit a performance track and zip around it like a sports car, that’s okay; you can’t fit a load of lumber into the trunk of a sedan or coupe. There is always a flip side.
The Pros:
A truck can handle snow and rough roads, where a car would get stuck or ride too high on the snow to grip the road. Deciding on a truck would mean that you want a vehicle that isn’t necessarily going to be used as a highway driver, but more a work vehicle.
The Cons:
A truck, in order to have off-road capability, is built on a taller platform to provide ground clearance – this means a higher center of gravity, which compromises road handling and stability. A sedan or sports car can’t do what a truck can when off-roading, but a truck can’t handle the curves at speed like a car can, so they are more prone to rollover accidents.
At Mazda of South Charlotte, we know that safety is important to our customers. This is one reason that we are so proud to offer the new 2015 Mazda6 to our friends and neighbors from Matthews, Concord and Monroe NC, Rock Hill SC, and in the surrounding region.
