2016 Mazda CX-9

Here is one new family mover you need to check out.  What people are talking about is the totally redesigned Mazda CX-9.  Automotive car critics and writers say it has been a significant improvement in most all areas.  This stylish rich CX9 carries seven people, has excellent fuel economy and is available in all-wheel drive. 

You can see it up close and personal at Hixson Mazda of Alexandria or online at www.hixsonmazda.com today!  Owners say it is just a fun SUV to drive and to be seen in.  After all, it is a Mazda!

The top of the line Signature comes with smooth Nappa leather with its luxurious interior and a long list of standard equipment. Some say the Signature trim feels and looks more like a luxury vehicle without the sticker price.  This new CX-9 is so much quieter, thanks to increased sound proofing and a thicker floor.  On your test drive you will find that this Mazda is so quiet, that the road sometimes fades away as an afterthought.  What a great way to enjoy your long trips to grandmas or that needed vacation trip to Mickey's place. 

There are three rows of comfortable seats in the CX-9.  The front seats have wide and very sturdy captain chairs that seem to mold to your body; really useful when this SUV takes on those country curves with its new suspension system.  The second row splits 60/40 and slides and reclines.  Owners with little children love the convenience and how easy a child seat is secured.  The second and third row seats can fold flat for your trips to the big box stores.  There are over 14 cubic feet behind the third seat and 38 behind the second, definitely enough space for your foursome's golf equipment.  Then if that seat is folded you will receive over 71 cubic feet behind the cabin's chairs.  

To enhance your driving experience in a fun way, the CX-9 has a new available “rocking” 12 speaker Bose system.  This Mazda like all of their models are equipped with high quality and tech superior features that relate to first class entertainment and communication; modern and necessary accessories for your enjoyment.  All of the infotainment controls are smartly arranged and very easy to reach and learn. 

Under the hood of this Mazda produces a new engine with an aggressive 2.5-liter turbocharged four banger that delivers up to 250 lively horses and an awesome level of torque.  Another great new improvement is the suspension that keeps the CX-9's feet planted in turns and curves.  It gets even better as it has a towing capacity of 3500 lbs which is enough for that pair of Ski Do's to take to your lake. 


The CX-9 like all Mazda's offer a slew of safety systems which is so very important as you always have previous cargo on board.  It comes in four trims to fit anyone's budget and style.  So just check the Mazda CX-9 at Hixson Mazda and the bet is on that you will leave with a smile on your face, not only because you brought back the “fun factor” in your drive time, but for the great deal you received.  Driving excitement is alive and well.

2016 Mazda Miata MX-5 - Top Pick

Consumer Reports recently released their 2016 Top Picks for cars.  They said, “We set a high bar for the cars we rated the best in the U.S.  Each leader in its category drives beautifully, boasts solid reliability, did well in crash tests, and makes owners happy”.  Those last three words really nailed it for CR's choice in the sports car category as the lovable redesigned 2016 Mazda Miata MX-5 got the honors. 

The Miata's owners totally agree as this two seater convertible does the job in “Happy”.  Just ask one or better yet see this Miata MX up close and personal with a test drive from the friendly folks at Hixson Mazda located at 2506 MacArthur Drive, in Alexandria, LA or call the dealership at 318.448.0871 and get prepared for an enjoyable experience. 

To receive this Top Pick from Consumer Reports a car has to make top grades in Performance, Reliability, Safety and of course Owner Satisfaction.   This Mazda Miata is the true driver’s classic roadster that is affordable, agile, and just fun to drive.  You will make excuses just to drive it somewhere and drop the top.  This sports car can't wait to explore the back country roads with you and yours.  The new MX-5 is shorter, lighter, faster and yet roomier than its previous models.

It starts with an aluminum hood and under it is an easy-revving aggressive 2.0-liter four cylinder that punches out 155 very lively horses.  It quickly scoots you down the road with a choice of a smooth shifting automatic transmission or the popular six-speed manual.  This setup also delivers a combined 34 mpg; not bad for a sports car.  Bumper to bumper, this stylish Miata is just so much of a delight to drive, which you will quickly discover in your test drive; it’s not just hype as this two seater is even better than advertised. 

Standard features for the Sport trim include 16-inch alloy wheels, LED lights, Bluetooth and much more.  If you move up to the popular Club trim, you will receive Sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers, limited-slip differential, awesome engine sound enhancer, 17-inch wheels, rear spoiler and other neat gadgets.  For example, try the 9 speaker Bose audio system in the headrests, it is the very best system for delivering music in a convertible.  Another great choice for a test drive is the Grand Touring Miata MX-5.  It comes with leather, navigation, some very important safety features and automatic climate control when you are forced to put the top back up.  Flipping the top up is really a breeze as well as storing it. 

To be honest, this MX-5 from Mazda isn't suited for taking your foursome to the golf course or even a trip to Home Depot unless you need a quart of paint.  Leave those chores to Miata's bigger Mazda's.  The MX-5 is built to have fun with you in your drive times, pure and simple.  If you desire that type of an automobile, then do check out this sports car.  The bet is on that you will drive away with a smile on your face, not only because you have put the “fun factor” in your drive times, but also for the great deal you received.

Hixson Alexandria and Keeping Kids Safe

Hixson Autoplex of Alexandria is proud to announce their partnership with the Keeping Kids Safe Project and are housing an event from September 12th and 13th.

Parents and children of all ages are invited to this event.  This is one of the top child safety programs in the country.  Many children are reported missing in the USA each year.  Some are found within a few minutes or hours.  Police officials say that time is critical in the recovery of a missing child.  A major source of wasted time is in the gathering of resources, fingerprints, statistical information, and photographs.  This can be avoided by providing a pre-made file to the authorities.
The event will be run by S.I.P. Kids and they will be taking FBI quality digital fingerprints and photographs of your children.  Their inkless digital scanner captures high quality fingerprint images that are printed on a record and then provided to the parents for safe-keeping.  The only record taken is sent directly home, they do not database any information.  In the case of an emergency, parents are able to turn this file over to the authorities anywhere in the world to instantly aid in the investigation, saving crucial time and resources.  For more information about Keeping Kids Safe visit http://www.KeepingKidsSafe.us 

For more information contact the professionals at Hixson Autoplex of Alexandria at 318-448-0871 and we look forward to seeing everyone at the event to help keep children safe at 2506 MacArthur Drive in Alexandria, Louisiana on September 12th and 13th!
