Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Awards Mazda3 Top Safety Pick

Sept. 17, 2009 - PRLog -- The all new 2010 Mazda3 has been awarded the very prestigious “Top Safety Pick” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). To qualify for “Top Safety Pick”, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of good in the Institute's front, side, and rear tests and be equipped with Electronic Stability Control. Criteria to win are tough because the award is intended to drive continued safety improvements such as top crash test ratings and the rapid addition of electronic stability control, which is standard on most trim levels of the MAZDA3.

Preston Mazda was thrilled to receive this news from corporate Mazda. Already a top seller in the Preston Automotive Group, Preston Mazda’s Sales Manager Harry Willey is even more excited to offer this vehicle to consumers. “This is great news; safety ratings continue to be a top purchase consideration for our customers and with the Mazda3 already a top seller due to the Cash for Clunker phenomena, we are ready to continue to offer this amazing product,” Willey expresses.

Preston Mazda part of the Preston Autoplex in Preston, MD has over 30 Mazda3s in stock and has the ability to get any Mazda3 that a customer may want. The 2010 Mazda3 comes standard with many features. Among the safety features are frontal and side air bags and roof mounted side air curtains, in addition to active head restraints. The Mazda3 is also paired with available Dynamic Stability Control, tire pressure monitors, strong triple-h body construction and anti-lock brakes.

“Mazda is known for cars that are fun the drive because they have superb steering, brakes, and overall handling,” said Kim O’Sullivan, president and CEO of Mazda North America Operations. “This active safety helps avoid the accident in the first place and makes the Mazda3 a perfect example of safety meets zoom-zoom.”

The 2010 Mazda3 is conveniently priced with many standard features and options. The base MSRP starts at $16,045. Consumers are encouraged to take a look at the 2010 Mazda3.
