The value of a car starts decreasing as soon as it's driven off the lot. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean that your Mazda doesn't hold any worth. The trick is to preserve as much of its value as while you own it. Below are tips from your Mazda dealer on how to maintain the resale value of your car. more Watch the Mileage According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), people drive an average of 13,476 miles annually. If your mileage exceeds 20,000 miles, this is regarded as heavy usage. It is important to note that a car's value sharply declines once it reaches 100,000 miles. Drive With Caution Driving with caution is important if you want your car to maintain its value and last longer. Avoid driving too fast, using the accelerator and brakes excessively, revving your engine too much, and navigating poor roads or driving through potholes that can cause damage. It would be best to avoid parking in tight spaces where your car can get scratched or dented. Avoid Excessive Wear Many individuals use their automobiles for purposes beyond commuting, and such usage can leave its mark. Hauling boats and recreational vehicles, transporting heavy goods, taking unnecessary trips, and overloading the vehicle can result in significant wear and tear. This excessive wear may reduce the car's value, even if it runs flawlessly. Additionally, scratches, dings, chips, and rust can diminish the appeal of a pre-owned vehicle to prospective buyers. Protect the Interior and Exterior To safeguard your car's interior from the harmful effects of sun exposure, consider using window protectors or sun shades that can prevent damage to the dashboard and upholstery. Regularly clean and detail the car's interior using specialized products. If you live in an area with extreme weather conditions, park your vehicle in a garage or under a cover to protect the exterior from damage due to exposure to the elements. Get Regular Maintenance Services Follow your vehicle's service schedule and stick to the maintenance intervals in your owner's manual. To keep your Mazda in tip-top shape, make sure your Mazda technician changes the oil every 3,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months and perform regular inspections, fluid corrections, adjustments, and replacements at the intervals recommended by the factory. Keep Your Mazda's Service Records Maintaining a service record will help demonstrate to potential buyers that you have cared for your Mazda. A well-maintained vehicle with a documented service history is more reliable and valuable. Treat your Mazda as an investment and maintain it with utmost care. Contact Flood Mazda today to book a maintenance service. Our certified Mazda technicians will assist you in keeping your vehicle in top-running condition. Image via Pixabay

Mazda models have different engines, each with its own fuel requirements. Your fuel choice can significantly impact your car's fuel efficiency and performance. Below, your Mazda dealer provides information on the various fuel types available and how to select the best one for your specific Mazda model. more Types of Fuel At gas stations, you can usually find three different fuel grades or types of fuel characterized by their octane level. This rating is determined by the fuel's ability to spontaneous combustion under pressure. The octane number is determined by taking the average of two distinct methods for rating octane levels: research octane rating (RON) and motor octane rating (MOR), which are primarily differentiated based on the particular operating conditions. Fuel becomes more stable as the octane number increases. Although some gasoline grades are named differently, such as unleaded, regular, midgrade, or premium, they all indicate the octane rating. Regular Regular has the lowest octane rating, is usually graded at 87, and is the most economical. It's okay for most cars and can be ideal unless your model explicitly needs a higher fuel grade. It's important to note that using gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 can adversely affect the emission control system performance and lead to engine knocking and severe engine damage. Midgrade Midgrade gasoline, which typically has an octane rating of 89-90, offers a slightly higher stability level than regular gasoline, with an octane rating of 87. Premium For cars equipped with turbo engines, it is advisable to use premium gasoline, which typically has an octane rating of 91 to 94. Mazda Fuel Requirements Although lower-grade fuels work fine in most Mazda models, premium fuel can enhance your car's performance. If your Mazda has a catalytic converter or oxygen sensors, use unleaded fuel to minimize exhaust emissions and reduce spark plug fouling. Regular Unleaded Fuel Regular unleaded fuel with an 87-octane rating is ideal for most low-performance commuter models, especially in areas with low or moderate altitudes where fast combustion is beneficial. Higher Octane Fuel While most Mazda models do not necessarily require premium fuel, it is important to note that in some instances, you may only get the best performance from your car by using a higher octane fuel (typically 91 octane). Choosing the right fuel can significantly impact the performance and longevity of your car, be it a big and spacious CX-9 SUV or a zippy MX-5 Miata.

Offering a gorgeous three-row cabin and a long list of amenities for a great price, the all-new CX-90 has made quite the first impression. The full-sized SUV continues to impress by providing the option of a plug-in hybrid powertrain that delivers strong performance and amazing range. Keep reading to learn more about the 2024 Mazda CX-90 Hybrid —now for sale at your local Mazda dealer! more Powertrain The CX-90's plug-in hybrid system consists of a 68-kW e-Skyactiv electric motor and a 2.5L Skyactiv-G 2.5L inline-4. Together, they can produce a total of 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque—good for an admirable 0 to 60 time of around six seconds. Completing the powertrain is an 8-speed automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode. With an EPA-rated fuel economy of 56 MPGe combined, the vehicle is sure to be easy on the wallet. Thanks to a 17.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, the CX-90 can operate solely through electric power and has a range of up to 26 miles without needing to rely on the gas engine. When plugged into a Level 1 (120-volt) outlet, the battery charges from 20% to 80% in well under seven hours. An available Level 2 (240-volt) charger can do the same job in just 90 minutes. All-Wheel Drive System Every CX-90 model is equipped with Mazda's i-Activ AWD, a capable system that maximizes traction in a variety of conditions while preserving the vehicle's sporty handling through its rear-biased power delivery. Using a number of sensors placed throughout the CX-90, i-Activ AWD is able to monitor driver inputs, outside temperatures, and even how slippery the road is. This enables the system to distribute the ideal amount of torque. Passenger Cabin The cabin also has a sophisticated and streamlined design, allowing you to focus on the drive. For instance, the driver's seating position provides a commanding view of your surroundings, and the vehicle's user-friendly controls are always within easy reach. Up to eight people may be seated within the CX-90's three rows, plus buyers can switch out the reclining second-row bench seating for a pair of captain's chairs. All plug-in hybrid models come standard with an eight-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support, multi-level heated seats, and tri-zone automatic climate control. Infotainment System While the Preferred and Premium trims are fitted with a 10.25-inch infotainment system, the Premium Plus gets a 12.3-inch display. Either option can be controlled through the multi-function Commander knob or simple voice commands. Integration for iOS and Android smartphones, HD Radio, and Bluetooth hands-free calls and audio streaming are included with every trim. Powerful, efficient, and comfortable—the CX-90 is everything you would want in a family vehicle and much more! Contact Flood Mazda today and schedule a test drive with this exciting SUV!

You may be wondering what types of tires will keep you and your family safe when the roads are covered in ice and snow. Read on to learn more about compounds, patterns, and prices so that you can purchase the best winter tires for your family from your Mazda dealer. more 1. Tire Compounds Cold-weather tires are engineered to stay flexible even when temperatures dip below freezing. The softness ensures that your tires can still grip the road in cold weather. However, this also means that tires designated for winter wear very quickly in warm weather, so they need to be switched out for summer or all-season tires when spring arrives. 2. Tread Patterns Tires designated for winter tend to have wide and deep tread voids to help bring your tires closer to the road and maximize your traction. These tires also boast aggressive tread patterns and tiny grooves that optimize traction on icy and wet roads. The blocks of tread found on these tires also tend to have irregular edges so that they can grip the ice and snow better. 3. Tire Size Choosing the width of your tire is important for snow performance. A common misconception is that a wider tire will provide better traction over ice and snow. In the snow, the opposite can be true. Wide tires can float on top of snow, while narrower tires cut through the snow to the asphalt beneath. Tires that can cut through the snow to the road give you your best chance of maintaining control while powering through winter conditions. That being said, a tire that is too narrow won't work well either. When choosing a winter tire size, checking your owner's manual and using the OEM tire size is often the safest option. 4. M+S or 3PMSF Loads of all-terrain and all-season tires will have an M+S symbol on their sidewall. This stands for mud and snow. These tires are not the same as tires designated for winter. Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol or 3PMSF. Tires with this symbol are engineered to help optimize your traction even through severe snow. 5. Mazda Dealer Your dealership will have experts who are trained to service your Mazda. The certified technicians will be able to help you choose the safest winter tire options, get them installed, and get you on the road as soon as possible. Your car is an investment, and that's why you need to choose a service center that is more than a facility but also has a commitment to excellence. Call us at Flood Mazda to schedule an appointment with the experts in our service center today. Image via Pixabay

Here's a quick introduction to the model that will have you eager to visit your local Mazda dealer! more Powertrain Impressive power is generated by the Mazda3's 2.5L Skyactiv-G inline-4 engine at 191 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. It partners with the ultra-smooth, electronically controlled 6-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission that features sporty gear shifts and helps achieve an EPA-rated fuel economy of up to 37 MPG highway. Added excitement comes from the available turbocharged motor's 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Turbocharged models also come equipped with Mazda's capable i-Activ all-wheel drive system, able to send extra torque to the rear wheels in order to maintain maximum grip in tricky conditions. Chassis As you can expect from any Mazda automobile, the Mazda3 provides a genuinely fun and engaging driving experience with its highly refined chassis. The car's independent MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension have been tuned for precise and stable handling without sacrificing a comfortable ride quality. Steering is well-weighted and direct, and four-wheel disc brakes quickly bring the Mazda3 to a stop. Passenger Cabin The Mazda3's spacious interior has a luxe feel thanks to its sophisticated design and generous use of premium, soft-touch materials. The controls and driver seating have been specifically positioned by Mazda's designers in a way that makes operating the car feel effortless. With most trims sporting standard dual-zone automatic climate control, heated seats, and 8-way power adjustability for the driver's seat, you'll have an easy time keeping cozy, too. For an especially racy look, buyers can add red or terracotta leather-wrapped sport seats. As for passenger space, the Mazda3's cabin easily accommodates five adults and includes up to 35.1 inches of rear legroom. The car's sizable trunk holds 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space. Infotainment An 8.8-inch infotainment display is standard, but turbocharged models get a 10.25-inch screen. Navigating through the infotainment system's menus and apps is done with simple voice commands or the intuitive, multi-function Commander control knob found on the center console. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth hands-free calls and audio streaming, and a 6-speaker Mazda Harmonic Acoustics sound system are included. In Turbo Premium Plus trim, the Mazda3's multimedia system comes standard with a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system and support for SiriusXM satellite radio. The Mazda3 proves that you don't need to spend big bucks to enjoy exceptional performance and comfort. Contact Flood Mazda today and schedule a test drive with the latest model! Image via Mazda

Windshields are strong, but they're not invincible, so sometimes they end up getting cracked. If the crack is small, then it's easy to ignore it if it doesn't seem like it's going to get any bigger, and it's not obscuring your view. However, if you have a cracked windshield, whether the crack is major or minor, you need to head to your Mazda dealer to get it repaired early. more 1. The Crack Could Grow Small cracks may seem pretty stable, and they might not get any bigger for weeks. However, eventually, the small crack in your windshield is going to get a little longer, deeper, and wider. From there, it'll start branching off like a spider web until the windshield is beyond repair. Once that crack gets too big, the windshield will need to be replaced entirely. 2. The Windshield Won't Be As Strong Even the smallest cracks can compromise the structural integrity of your windshield. This means even a small impact that may not have damaged the windshield before could end up cracking it further or even shattering it entirely. The windshield protects you from all kinds of small debris, and it probably takes a lot more hits than you realize during every journey. Getting it fixed so it's as strong as possible is essential. 3. The Airbags Could Be Compromised It's not just your windshield that structural integrity is compromised when it cracks; a damaged windshield can put your airbags into harm's way. Many airbags hit the windshield when they're deployed. If they hit a damaged windshield and the windshield chips or shatters, then the airbags could get hit by glass and burst. Even if the airbags aren't damaged, they may fail to support you effectively if they don't have the windshield to brace against. 4. The Crack May Decrease Visibility Not all cracks are severe enough to compromise your visibility, but as we mentioned before, cracks can grow. Yours could get larger at a really inconvenient time and make it difficult to see the road. You may also miss something in the area of the windshield that has a crack in it, even if that crack isn't very large. 5. The Police Could Pull You Over As we mentioned above, cracks in the windshield make it harder to see the road. It's illegal to drive a vehicle with compromised visibility in most states, including Rhode Island. While it's legal to drive with small cracks that aren't directly in front of you, the police may still choose to pull you over if they suspect that the crack is impacting your ability to view the road. Stop by Flood Mazda to have your damaged windshield repaired.  While you're here, ask about all the other services we offer to keep your car in top shape. Image via Pixabay

The history of Mazda, a renowned automotive manufacturer, is a remarkable tale of innovation, resilience, and evolution, spanning over a century. Your Mazda dealer can not only tell you about the latest Mazda cars but also more about the fascinating history of this company. more Origins and Early Years Mazda's journey began in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1920, not as a car manufacturer, but as Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd., a company focused on cork production. It was founded by Jujiro Matsuda, an industrialist with a vision far beyond cork. In 1931, the company ventured into the automotive industry, producing the Mazda-Go, a three-wheeled truck that marked Mazda's entry into vehicle manufacturing. This vehicle, with its unique design and practicality, gained significant attention in the Japanese market. Post-World War II Expansion: Mazda Cars The devastation of Hiroshima in World War II deeply impacted Mazda, but the company's resilience led to a swift recovery. In the 1950s and 1960s, Mazda expanded its lineup to include four-wheeled trucks and cars. The introduction of the R360 Coupe in 1960, Mazda's first passenger car, was a significant milestone. This period also saw Mazda's experimentation with rotary engines, leading to the 1967 Cosmo Sport, a vehicle that showcased Mazda's engineering prowess with its unique and powerful engine. Global Expansion and Innovation The 1970s and 1980s marked Mazda's expansion into international markets. Notably, the Mazda RX-7, launched in 1978, became a global success, known for its sleek design and rotary engine. In the 1980s, Mazda continued to innovate, introducing the MX-5 Miata in 1989, a lightweight, affordable roadster that became one of the best-selling sports cars of all time. Economic Challenges and Revival The 1990s brought economic challenges, with the Japanese asset price bubble's burst impacting many domestic companies, including Mazda. In response, Mazda underwent significant restructuring, forging strategic partnerships, notably with the Ford Motor Company. This period saw the introduction of popular models like the Mazda3 and Mazda6, which combined affordability with Mazda's signature driving experience. Recent Years and Sustainable Innovation at Your Mazda Dealer In the 21st century, Mazda has focused on sustainable technology and design innovation. The introduction of SKYACTIV technology, which includes highly efficient engines, transmissions, and lightweight chassis, has demonstrated Mazda's commitment to environmental responsibility without compromising a dedication to driving pleasure. Mazda's history is a testament to its ability to adapt, innovate, and excel in a competitive industry. From its humble beginnings to its current status as a global automotive leader, Mazda has consistently demonstrated a commitment to quality, innovation, and the joy of driving. Things are no different today, and if you're ready to look at some of the most efficient and reliable vehicles on the market, come see us at Flood Mazda.

This crossover SUV also has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. Mazda CX-5 The CX-5 is built on the same chassis as the CX-50 but offers a sportier look. This model's less rugged appearance comes with slightly less cargo space, but there's still plenty of room for luggage, recreational gear, and more. The CX-5 has 30.8 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seat, and 59.3 cubic feet when that seat is folded down. This compact SUV has a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, which is enough to pull a small teardrop camper, a small fishing boat, or a trailer for kayaks or jet skis.

An available heads-free Rear Power Liftgate comes complete with programmable height adjustment, making it easy to load the vehicle when your hands are full. The crossbars on the CX-90 provide ample capacity for carrying bikes, skis, surfboards, and more. And that's not all. When properly equipped, this vehicle also has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. An available line of CX-90 towing accessories including a hitch and a tow brake controller make it easy to pull a trailer.

If you're in the market for a car that balances style, performance, and reliability, a Mazda is a fantastic choice. One of the key questions many potential buyers have is "How long can I expect my Mazda to last?" The good news is that with proper care and maintenance, a Mazda can be a steadfast companion on the road for many years. Let's discuss what you can expect in terms of car lifespan when you pick up a new vehicle from the Mazda dealer. more Durability and Mileage Mazdas are known for their durability and build quality. On average, you can expect a well-maintained Mazda to last up to 200,000 or even 250,000 miles, which speaks volumes about the longevity of these vehicles. Model and Usage The lifespan of your Mazda can vary depending on the model and how the car is used. For instance, a Mazda CX-5 that's predominately used for highway commuting may last longer than a Mazda3 that's frequently navigating stop-and-go city traffic. Maximizing Your Mazda's Lifespan Ensuring your Mazda lasts as long as possible involves regular maintenance and good driving habits. Here are some key areas to focus on. Regular Maintenance at the Mazda Dealer Head to the dealer for regular oil changes as recommended in your owner's manual. Typically, this means every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. You also need to regularly check and rotate your tires. Properly inflated and balanced tires can significantly improve the lifespan of your car. Be sure to have your brakes inspected regularly, too. Worn brake pads or damaged rotors can lead to more serious and expensive problems down the line. Timely Repairs If you notice something off about your Mazda, whether it's a strange noise, a warning light, or a change in performance, get it checked out as soon as possible to prevent larger issues. When parts need replacing, opt for quality. Genuine Maza parts are the best option. Good Driving Habits Aggressive driving can put unnecessary strain on your vehicle. Gentle acceleration, smooth braking, and avoiding high speeds can prolong your car's health. Avoiding short trips can also help. Extremely short trips can prevent your car's engine from reaching the optimal operating temperatures, which over time can lead to increased wear. With a mix of quality manufacturing and diligent care, your Mazda can provide you with many years of reliable service. By performing regular maintenance and taking care of any issues as soon as they arise, you can ensure your car will make every drive an enjoyable one for a long time. Ready to find your next car?

Everyone wants to get the best deal possible when they trade in a car, and there are a few things you can do before you visit the Mazda dealer to help guarantee the best deal possible. Making the car presentable, knowing what it's worth, and making sure you have all your documents in order will be very helpful when it's time to trade in your vehicle for a new Mazda. more 1. Buff Out Imperfections Are there any small dents in the car that a little elbow grease will fix? Are there any scratches that you can buff out? Check your car all over and fix any imperfections that you can. Making sure your car looks as fantastic as possible will help you get a great deal when you bring it to the dealership. 2. Make It Shine Now that all the imperfections are gone, it's time to make that car shine as if it's brand-new. Clean it inside and out, top to bottom. Give the outside a nice, fresh coat of wax. While it's true that dealers can value a car even if there's a little dirt on it, it makes a better impression to show up with your vehicle all clean and shiny. 3. Gather All the Extras Did the car come with an SD card/DVD for the navigation system, a spare key fob, or a physical manual? Gather them up and bring them with you. The car's next owner will need them, and if you don't bring them to the dealer, then you won't get as much for your car as you would if you brought all the accessories. 4. Get Your Documents Ready Make sure you bring your car's title, registration, loan documents, and maintenance records with you to the dealer. Your dealer will already have your maintenance records on file if this is the dealer you go to for regular service, but it's a good idea to bring your own copy to make a good impression. Plus, it's more convenient for the dealer if they can get the records from you instead of going to search for them. 5. Value Your Car Learn the value of your car, so you can determine whether or not your dealer has made you a good offer. To do this, learn your car's age, make, model, and mileage. Get online and visit Kelly Blue Book or Edmund's to figure out your car's value before you head to the dealer. Come and trade in your old car at Flood Mazda. We'll make you a great offer and help you find a new cart that ticks all the right boxes for you. Image via Pixabay
