car nut's best car buying experience ever I've been a car enthusiast for over 60 years, owned everything from odd ball sports cars like Morgan (2 of these) to Jaguars, and included Alpha Romeo I've been a car enthusiast for over 60 years, owned everything from odd ball sports cars like Morgan (2 of these) to Jaguars, and included Alpha Romeo, Lancia, and Peugeot. More recently I have owned an Isuzu, an Acura, a Lexus, a Mazda Miata, an Audi, and two Mercedes.. Most were bought new, but the best car buying experience in all those years was this past week at Wantagh Mazda when I took ownership of a 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback. Everybody in the showroom was knowledgeable, patient with all my questions and concerns, and friendly. Joe Bonavita took great care in explaining every aspect of the controls, navigation, telephone set up, and Sirius connection, so that even an old codger like myself felt at ease with everything. The sales manager, Phil Puleo was like encountering an old friend as he remembered selling a Mazda Tribute to my son over 15 years ago. Kenny Davis was smart, fast, and efficient in working out the financing process., and a terrific guy as well. The details of the deal, the trade in, and the final negotiations about price were relaxed and felt completely fair. The final cost was even a bit less than what we casually discussed at the outset. Nothing felt surprising or off base as is often the case at the conclusion of a car buying process. The test ride convinced me that everything I had heard and read about the car was accurate. The buying experience was truly tops. More

Most Pleasant Experience Buying a Car I did a lot of online research and made several inquiries for different brands, not just Mazda. I did not want a sales pitch, I wanted answers to ques I did a lot of online research and made several inquiries for different brands, not just Mazda. I did not want a sales pitch, I wanted answers to questions by email. Everyone else wanted to get me on the phone, which I did not have time for during the weekday. Joseph Bonavita was one of only two people who responded with actual answers, without hassle. The answers were so complete, I didn't bother to call, I just scheduled an appointment and my spouse and I went to look at the cars. Joe's no rush demeanor, accommodating style and well explained financing (all the better with Mazda's wonderful 0%) is what convinced us. The only uncertainty we had at that point was which color to Choose~ Even to the end, when we picked up the car, we sat in there while he explained how to use all the features, which was a first for me. Thank you for making the purchasing experience so easy and pleasant. As long as we drive Mazdas, I will certainly be calling on Joe and will be recommending him to anyone who is in the market. Thank you! More
