I never thought I would see the day when my wife would get a Mazda until last week when she started looking at the CX-5. She traded in her Grand Caravan for one and took delivery this afternoon. She got hereself a GX trim and I do say it was indeed a good choice.
Enough about the car, I just wanted to share how great the folks at Direct Mazda were. I got my 2010 3-GT from Peter Pickering and he was absolutely fantastic. In my previous review, I raved about how Peter provided me with the absolute Mazda shopping experience and I never thought it could be duplicated by anyone else from the same dealership. I guess I was wrong......then came Mr. Danielle Angelucci. I was hoping to deal with Peter again but since he was the President & GM, he was really busy with things and referred me to Danielle instead. I thank him for doing so because Danielle elevated our shopping experience to another level. He made our "SUV-shopping" well beyond pleasant. As usual, the presentation was direct to the point: what were our needs, in what areas are we most concerned? Danielle took the time and patiently reviewed the specifications of the CX-5 with us. Please bear in mind that I have done my assignment during the last time I shopped for a 3 and had various experiences from various dealerships, both pleasant and un-pleasant, that is why I chose to go back to Direct Mazda. Patience played a big role in my dealings with Direct Mazda, both Peter and Danielle did have great patience in dealing with my being fickle minded......oh believe me, I kept going back and forth, color and trim wise (even though it was going to be for my wife). Heck, I even had the wife thinking of getting a CX-7 instead since the current deals were also tempting.
The trade in value was more than acceptable compared to other prices which I gathered. The rust proofing and undercoating deal was perfect, compared to the deal when I first got my 2007 Mazda 5 from another dealership. Bottom line is, I got a good deal from these guys and I couldn't ask for anything more.
So if you happen to be shopping for a Mazda and you just live around the vicinity, give these guys a visit, look for Danielle or Peter and you certainly won't go wrong.
To the guys at Direct Mazda.......kudos and more power to you!!!
