College is a unique time in anyone’s life. Over the course of a few precious years, teens get the chance to have the time of their lives, but they also begin to realize what being an adult feels like. From getting to class on time to going on a weekend adventure with friends, a car plays a major role in all of this. The Mazda3 has all the qualities to become a college student’s faithful companion.

An Excellent Base Trim and Great Fuel Economy

College years can get expensive and many college-bound students have to save money everywhere they can. The Mazda3 offers excellent fuel economy, going 24 miles in city traffic with one gallon of gas and 32 miles on the highway. This means you can drive your car to college every day without it making a significant dent in your budget, but also go on an occasional weekend getaway with friends.

Mazda3 drivers also save money on features, as the base trim offers a variety of features that are only available as options for other vehicles. It comes with standard 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, taillights, daytime running lights, a rearview camera, and a massive 8.8-inch touch-screen display, among many others.

Spacious and Comfortable Interior

The Mazda3’s cabin is as elegant as it is functional. The materials used throughout the interior are not only great looking but also a good quality fit for the sometimes hectic college life. All the car’s main functions can be accessed via the touch-screen, but physical controls and voice commands are also available, making everything easy to use while driving. The standard sound system is an 8-speaker with HD radio that can be upgraded to a crisp-sounding 12-speaker Bose audio system. 

Smartphone connectivity is crucial for most drivers nowadays and especially college students. The Mazda3 makes it a breeze with everyone in the car being able to easily connect their smartphones through Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, or USB. Overall, the car’s interior has the looks, durability, and technology to perfectly fit a college-bound student’s lifestyle.

Excellent Active Safety Features

Safety is a major issue for any driver, and college students are no different. The Mazda3 comes with plenty of very helpful active safety systems that are designed to monitor everything happening around the car and help the driver through difficult situations. It features functions such as blind-spot monitoring, which detects any vehicles that enter the Mazda’s blind spot, rear cross-traffic alert that detects cars approaching from the side, or the smart brake support that is able to detect any vehicle, pedestrian, or bicycle in the car’s path and automatically apply the brakes, to name a few.

College-bound students need all the help they can get, and a reliable car is definitely high on the list of things that can make their lives easier. The Mazda3 is the ideal choice, being not only trustworthy but also rich in modern technology and absolutely gorgeous both inside and out.
