Want to test drive with CMH Mazda Hatfield? Here are some tips you need to know
Most things are happening online now, from researching about the car you want, where you can find it, to the specs of the vehicle. But, there is that one thing left that you cannot do online; although if it were possible some people would prefer it; that is test driving your favourite vehicle. Test driving your potential car is one of the most important things you can do before buying, just to be sure that this is the vehicle you really want and that it is right for you. So, take that car for a drive to make sure you get the satisfaction you need. Here are some tips for when you go on a test drive.
Make an appointment
Schedule an appointment with one of our friendly sales executives, they will prepare and make sure the vehicle is available, clean and ready for your arrival on the day you wish to come through for the test drive. It is stressful to Wake up positive and ready to do something but when you get there nothing is falling into place; like the vehicle you want to test drive isn’t available or any kind of disturbance. So, making an appointment is essential.
Learn more about the vehicle
When you arrive, your sales executive will give you a tour around the vehicle, they will tell you about the features and all the cool things the car can offer. It is important to listen attentively just to make sure that they meet your standard requirements. Getting to know the car and asking a lot of questions before getting behind the wheel is important, as you would need to have a general idea of where everything is, and what they do, before you begin your test drive. This will ensure you have an enjoyable ride.
Which vehicle do you want to test drive?
Knowing specifically which vehicle make, model and variant you wish to test drive is very important as you get to drive and feel the exact vehicle you are looking for. Don’t assume that variant levels of that specific make and model drive the same, because they usually not the same.
Does the car meet your needs?
What are your requirements? Does the car fit the whole family? If you are a student, is the vehicle light on fuel? It is important to take note of these factors, whether the vehicle meets your daily needs. When in the car adjust the seats, pedals and mirrors. Bring your kids along and let them sit inside the car. Do just about anything to make sure that the car is really for you. Call us for a test drive; for new or pre-owned vehicle, our dedicate team is always one call away to help you.

The new derivative comes with an array of enhancement features such as Driver and passenger 8-way power adjustable seats, 10 BOSE speakers, Heads-up-Display that reflects information on the windscreen, satellite navigation and Powerlift tail gate.

CMH Mazda Hatfield – 5 Amazing standard features on the Mazda CX-5
So you’re at that stage of buying a new vehicle and your budget allows you to get an entry level vehicle, but you are worried that the vehicle might not be fully specked and meet your requirements?
Well, the Mazda CX-5 is full with the best quality standard features that you can find in the entry level which you can actually use all the time on the road. The Mazda CX-5 takes a lead in its segment when coming to premium modern technology features. Comfort, technology and spaciousness meet quality finishes everywhere you turn.
Here are the 5 amazing features you can find on the entry level Mazda CX-5 that might get you surprised and having you think twice if you thought it was not a good idea to buy one.
1. 7 Inch Display – MZD Connect System
It allows you to safely access your compatible Smartphone’s contacts, social media and music. Instead of sticking with convention and overwhelming the driver with gadgets that isolate him from the drive experience, Mazda believes that technology should enhance the drive, not distract from it.
2. i-STOP
Mazda’s unique ”i-STOP” allow drivers to re-start almost instantly while leading to a significant improvement in fuel economy. It is a conventional idling stop system that restarts a vehicle’s engine with an electric motor exactly the same way the engine is usually started.
3. Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) helps the driver take-off smoothly when stopped on a slope. When taking off on a slope, this function helps prevent the car from rolling backwards when the driver moves their foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal by maintaining an automatic brake.
4. Reverse Camera
The Mazda CX-5 is equipped with a wide angle rear view camera to help maintain your control and visibility. Your vision is restricted behind you so the reverse camera makes it easier for drivers to see things in their rear or helps lessen accidents or hitting those obstacles when making a reverse.
5. Alloy Wheels
Alloy mag rims make you vehicle look more sporty, classy and sleek. The entry level Mazda CX-5 comes standard with 17 inch alloy wheels to compliment the luxurious SUV.

Know your Mazda: Be safe and save ǀ Tips from CMH Mazda Hatfield
Mazda vehicles are designed to connect with the driver and the surrounding to ensure the best driving experience.
“When the car and the driver are in perfect harmony, driving is fun” – Takeo Kijima
Mazda implemented smart technologies to keep you safe and that you, the driver get more value for your money. Our vehicles are fitted with the most innovative and advanced technology features to make you’re driving simple, pleasurable and rewarding.
We’ve picked some of the best features you can actually use and enjoy your travels:
i-Eloop – Mazda SkyActiv Technology
It is a unique way to store energy. It is Mazda’s new regenerative braking system for increased fuel economy by recovering wasted energy. From the moment you take your foot off the accelerator, it activates to turn outgoing energy into electricity. i-Eloop improves the economy by up to 10%.
The perfect companion to i-ELOOP is i-STOP. Conventional idling stop systems restart a vehicle’s engine with an electric motor exactly the same way the engine is usually started.
SCBS – Smart City Break Support
SCBS helps prevent soften the impact of low-speed collisions. It operates at speeds of 4 and 30kms per hours. A laser sensor at the top of the windscreen detects vehicles up to 6 meters in front. If it detects a high risk of impact, the system will prompt the brakes to help you stop more quickly; if you don’t brake, SCBS will apply the brakes to prevent or lessen the impact.
DAA – Driver Attention Alert
DAA can improve the safety of long-distance journeys by monitoring your attentiveness. When activated and you’re driving above 65kms per hour for longer than 20 minutes, the system monitors sensors input and learns your driving behavior. A forward sensing camera at the top of the windscreen measures the distance between lane markings while monitoring your steering angle, speed, and trip duration.If abnormal driving behaviour is detected or more than 2 hours has passed since your last break, the system will suggest a rest stop.
ALH – Adaptive LED Headlamps
ALH improves visibility at night and prevent other drivers from being blinded by your headlamps. The headlamps features a row with LEDs, each one illuminates in a different section of the road ahead. They also illuminate a wider area on either side of your car.
When put on auto, a forward sensing camera monitors the road ahead, and automatically switches the headlamps between low and high beams as needed. This smart automatic technology means you don’t need to manually change your headlamps while driving, simply activate the ALH feature and the system does the work to maintain superior visibility during your drive.
BSM – Blind Sport Monitoring
BSM helps you to avoid unseen vehicles while driving, using radar senses at the rear of the vehicle to detect when other vehicles in your blind spot up to 8 metres behind. If a vehicle is in your blind spot, the system notifies you with a solid warning light in the side mirror. If you indicate to change lanes, the system alerts you with a warning beep and the solid warning light in the mirror will begin to flash.
These features are part of Mazda’s i-Activsense safety technology.
Ask our sales executive about these features and they will gladly assist you.

Merseta is one of the 21 Sector Education Training Authorities (SETAs) established to promote skills development in terms of the Skills Development Act of 1998 (as amended). Each sector reflects a different area of South Africa’s economy. Merseta was established to aid and develop the Engineering, Manufacturing and all associated service areas. Industries that are included in this sector are Auto Manufacturing, Metal, and Engineering, Plastic Industries, Tyre Manufacturing, as well as Motor Retail and Component Manufacturing.
With their aid there is a reduction in inequality and unemployment, stabilizing the economy. Most of these learnerships that are offered are for a duration of 12-24months, learners will receive a monthly stipend however these do not usually include transport, meals, and accommodation. The past two years CMH Mazda Randburg has had a few learners from the Merseta learning program, some who have become permanent employees at the end of the program and some we have managed to place them in other dealerships at the end of their program. However, this learnership is not a guarantee of a permanent position once completed, this will have to be the employer’s choice. Candidates will, however, be better equipped to enter the workforce once they have completed a leadership. Below are some of the few Merseta programs offered at CMH.
Service advisor
The position of Service Advisor forms a crucial part of any dealership’s customer service and must maintain a perfect balance between the Service Reception (where the customer is received and welcomed and also where the customer’s vehicle is collected after the service), the Workshop and the Customer. Our Service Advisor course covers all the major areas of the role of a Service Advisor encompasses and how he/she must conduct him/herself. With the right amount of experience, service advisors may advance to a position such as Service Manager.
Mechanic Apprenticeship
This is an important place to start one’s training, initially you will work under the supervision of the technician.The day to day duties include the servicing cars and
inspect vehicles according to the state’s requirements for emissions and safety. As you undertake training and master your skills you will pursue a career such as a Technician. Due to the extent of the work and skill that needs to be acquired, Apprentices go on yearly training courses for several weeks away from the dealership supervised by expert teachers and after 4 years, provided they pass every module and write the final technician exam, they qualify as a technician. It does not stop there, they can go further and qualify as Master Technician and also attend the Mazda Southern Africa technician training that focuses on Mazda vehicles.
We would like to congratulate one of our learners Abel Matlaisane who joined our dealership in February 2017 and has obtained NQF level 4 certificate in Automotive Service and Sales. We wish him the best and we would like to welcome two learners joining us this year.

The differences between Warranty, Service plan & Maintenance plan.
Purchasing a new car comes with a wide range of option plans, one of those being various car care plans and these include warranty, service plan and maintenance plan. Service plans and maintenance plans have benefits and detriments. Before making any decisions on these plans, carefully weigh all the terms and possibilities. Use this information to make the best choice for you and your vehicle. These plans are sometimes complicated and intimidating. However, if you research them properly and agree on favourable terms, they can be financially beneficial in the long run. Will briefly break down the differences between these three.
Car Warranty
A car warranty is a standard feature on all new cars sold in South Africa. It provides cover for a stipulated period against manufacturing defects that cause your vehicle to fail. If the automaker agrees that the problem is indeed due to defects in components or workmanship, then the problem will be resolved at no cost to you. Be warned automotive warranties in South Africa are easily voided mostly because of the fitment of (unapproved) aftermarket parts. Many manufacturers offer an option of an extended warranty, make sure you know exactly what is part of the deal.
Service plan
A service plan focuses on specific scheduled vehicle services generally within the first few years of purchase. Car manufacturers sell service plans, and they cover the most basic of car care services with monthly payments instead of instant costs. Each service plan is slightly different but in general cover some of all of the following: fluids such as brake fluid, coolant, oil, transmission fluid and gearbox oil; all filters including oil, fuel filters, pollen and air filters; spark plugs; tyre rotations and cam belts. A service plan is a separate policy from the manufacturer’s warranty.
Maintenance plan
A maintenance plan includes all the benefits of a service plan, but also adds protection for replacement and repair of various wear and tear parts. There are many protected parts in a maintenance plan, and some of the most important include the clutch, exhaust, battery, brake pads, steering components and engine. The best part of a maintenance plan is the ease of mind that comes with it. Maintenance plans are also transferable to new buyers and it is possible to include them in monthly car payments at the time of purchasing the vehicle.
