Finding the perfect car to accommodate a canine companion is an important part of the car-buying process for dog owners. With so many vehicles on the market to choose from, it can be difficult to select the right one, but thanks to Autotrader this no longer has to be an issue for dog lovers.
To help car buyers purchase a vehicle that suits both them and their furry four-legged friend, Autotrader has released a list of the "Best Cars for Dog Lovers." The highly admirable Mazda3 was lucky enough to earn a spot on the compilation, collecting its 16th award in the last eight months. Featuring fold-flat rear seats to make room for large dogs, a low ride height making it easy for dogs to climb in and out of the car, and an easy-access rear liftgate, the Mazda3 is a prime pick for drivers with pets. It also comes with underfloor storage, so you can bring treats, toys and other doggie necessities along with you wherever you go.
In addition to these benefits, the 2016 Mazda3 offers excellent handling, is equipped with a responsive 155-horsepower 2.0L four-cylinder engine and produces outstanding EPA ratings across all models. It also received five out of five stars for overall crash protection in government crash testing, ensuring it’s safe for you and all of your passengers (both human and canine).
