I got tired of my 15 L/100 400 HP Ford F150 and decided to jump into a small and efficient car. I test-drove: a 2013 Toyota Corolla (awful), a 2012 Ford Focus (slow; too much computer involvement), a 2013 Hyundai Elantra with a 6 speed manual (not bad), and finally a 2012 Mazda 3. Kim the salesperson at Kieswetter was knowledgeable about the car and not pushy. She let me try the SkyActive model and when I said I didn't like how it picked up speed, she suggested I try the regular 148 HP Mazda 3 GX A/C with a 5 speed manual. She asked me what I hoped to get in terms of the contract term and payments and we agreed on a 4.5 yr term with payments similar to those I've had on the F150. She gave me good advice on colours and I went with ALUMINUM METALLIC. I then talked with the Finance manager who was pleasant and not pushy either. I said 'no' to all the financial options she suggested though and we had a deal with a $1,000 down. Basically they take my Ford with all the upgrades staying on the vehicle, and I get the brand new GX this Wednesday, Oct-10th, 2012. We added the Convenience Package to the GX which added alloy rims, bluetooth, cruise control and audio/cruise controls on the steering wheel.
All in all I'm quite happy with my shopping experience at Kieswetter Mazda and would recommend them to anyone who plans to jump into a new or pre-owned Mazda.
