Directions from Jacksonville

It is bordering its namesake lake, the Star of Texas known as Jacksonville sits at the intersection of many highways, making it a convenient jumping off point to points around the northeast part of the state. To reach all those destinations requires a sports car, sedan, or SUV that you can discover at Velocity Mazda. You’ll find both new and pre-owned selections from an inventory that our friendly product specialists can help you navigate.

For a weekend retreat at Lake Jacksonville Park or its nearby campgrounds, your entire family can pile into the spacious 7-passenger, triple-row accommodations of the Mazda CX-9. Even with every seat full of friends and relations, you still get over 14 cubic feet for camping and sports gear. Fold down the back 2 rows and cargo capacity jumps to over 71 cubic feet, which can handle all kinds of weekend toys. If you need the capability, but your family isn’t that expansive, you can try the Mazda CX-5 that seats 5 occupants.

Do you want to impress a special someone with dinner at the Black Sheep Restaurant? You can then follow up with a nightcap at River & Post, which shows spectacular views of the city skyline. The Mazda6 meets these aspirations with Nappa leather upholstery, Ultrasuede® trim on the door and dashboard, and accents of Sen wood. Set a mood of romance or excitement through the 11 speakers of the Bose® Surround Sound audio system.

If a mad dash on the Texas highways is your idea of fun, then you’ll get your kicks from the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF. One button drops the hardtop of this fastback in just 13 seconds, allowing you to welcome the sun and the stars with a sophisticated and sporty style. You’ll be pushed by the 2.0-liter SKYACTIV®-G powerplant that redlines at 7,500 RPM. Its available limited-slip rear differential ensures that you embrace the tightest curves.
