Forward Obstruction Driver Alerts Lend Extra Security to the Mazda3

Both the hatchback and sedan models of the 2016 Mazda3 offer impressive degrees of safety for driver and passengers. With leading scores in the crash testing as well as a helpful auto-brake feature, this car attains the ultimate safety requirements to receive the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ level and award. This vehicle also features forward obstruction early warnings to alert drivers of other vehicles or obstructions in front. It also has top-power stopping capacity to eliminate harm from rear-end collisions during congested city driving. Because this type of accident is very common, Mazda gains high praise for focusing on this safety enhancing feature. This effort is an admirable attempt to reduce rear-ending accidents this winter and throughout the year. This feature is a definite advantage for young or beginning drivers.
