The Morrisville Advantage

A Test Drive That Fits Inside a Lunch Hour

Lenovo's North America headquarters on Development Drive employs more than 2,200 people, and RTP starts a mile east of it. From those desks, this is what a Mazda test drive actually costs you.

12:00

Leave the Office

Aviation Parkway or NC-54 to I-40 West. You call on the way and say which car you want pulled up. It is running and cooled when you get here.

12:20

Arrive on Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd

Exit at US 15-501 and you are a mile and a half out. No hunting for the store, no Cary surface streets, no parking deck.

12:25

Drive It Properly

Fifteen minutes with a real merge onto 15-501 in it. That is the only test that answers the question you actually have about a car.

12:45

Head Back

Back at your desk near the top of the hour. If you want it, the credit application is already online and waiting for you that evening.

This does not work from Wake Forest and it barely works from Apex. It works from Morrisville because Morrisville sits on the Durham side of Wake County, which is the one genuine geographic advantage this town has when it goes car shopping.

Why Morrisville Shops Here

Six Reasons Morrisville Drivers Point West

A town of commuters, engineers and travelers wants different things from a dealership than a town of weekend hobbyists does.

01

The Shortest Drive in Wake County

Nineteen miles, and the useful part is that almost all of it is I-40. Morrisville sits west of the Cary congestion that makes 12-mile trips take 35 minutes elsewhere in the county.

02

Hybrids That Suit the Commute

The CX-50 Hybrid is EPA-rated 39 mpg city and 38 combined, and city is the number that matters on a Morrisville-to-RTP run. Plug-in CX-70 and CX-90 models are here too if you have somewhere to charge.

03

Service That Comes to the Office Park

Free pickup and delivery for service customers, plus delivered loaners. A fixed parking space at a Morrisville office is the easiest version of this there is. Your car gets serviced while you work.

04

Fifteen Minutes From RDU

Drop the car for service on the way to a flight, collect it on the way home. It turns a week of airport parking into a week of getting something fixed, which is a trade most travelers take.

05

An Hour to Buy, Not an Evening

The 60-minute in-store purchase process is built for people whose calendars are already full. Start online, finish in the showroom, keep the rest of your day.

06

Answers, Not a Pitch

Morrisville buyers arrive having read the spec sheet. Ask about the six-speed automatic instead of a CVT, about i-Activ AWD, about what the Certified Pre-Owned program actually covers. Those are good questions and they get real answers.

Visiting Sport Durst Mazda From Morrisville

Directions
NC-54 or Aviation Parkway to I-40 West, then off at US 15-501. The store is on Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard, roughly a mile and a half from the exit. Nineteen miles door to door, and the only slow part is whatever I-40 is doing that day.
In the Showroom
Come with the questions you already looked up. If you are weighing hybrid against gas, drive the CX-50 Hybrid and the CX-5 in the same visit rather than reading about them for another fortnight.

Morrisville Mazda Questions, Answered

How far is Sport Durst Mazda from Morrisville, NC?
About 19 miles, or roughly 25 to 30 minutes. From Morrisville it is NC-54 to NC-540, then I-40 West and off at US 15-501. It is the shortest drive of any Wake County town to this store, and it is almost entirely interstate.
Can I test drive a Mazda on my lunch break from RTP or Lenovo?
Yes, and Morrisville is close enough that people actually do. Twenty minutes up I-40 from the Lenovo campus on Development Drive, a 15-minute drive in the car you came for, and you are back at your desk inside the hour. Call ahead at (919) 873-4428 and the vehicle is pulled up and running when you arrive.
Which Mazda is best for the Morrisville to RTP commute?
If fuel is the deciding factor, the CX-50 Hybrid is rated 39 mpg city and 38 mpg combined by the EPA, and the Morrisville commute is exactly the stop-and-go pattern hybrids are strongest in. If you want the traditional answer, the CX-5 is rated 24 city and 30 highway with all-wheel drive standard. The CX-30 and Mazda3 do the same trip for less money.
Do you sell plug-in hybrids for the Triangle commute?
Yes. The CX-70 PHEV and CX-90 PHEV both plug in, and a Morrisville to RTP round trip is short enough that a lot of days never touch the gas engine. Whether that math works for you depends on having somewhere to charge, so ask about it rather than assuming either way.
Is Sport Durst Mazda convenient to RDU airport?
It is about 15 minutes from the RDU terminals up I-40. Morrisville travelers sometimes drop a car for service on the way to a flight and pick it up on the way back, which turns a week of airport parking into a week of getting the brakes done.
Can service pick my car up from a Morrisville office park?
Yes. Free pickup and delivery is offered to service customers, and a loaner can be delivered too. An office park with a fixed parking space is the easiest possible version of this. Call the service department at (919) 536-6559 to set it up.
How long does the purchase itself take?
Sport Durst Mazda works to a 60-minute in-store purchase process. You can also start the credit application and the trade appraisal online first, which moves most of the waiting out of the showroom and into whatever else you were doing.
Is I-40 or NC-540 the better route from Morrisville?
I-40 West is the direct one and it is free. NC-540 is worth a short hop from northern Morrisville to get onto I-40 past the Aviation Parkway backup, but you do not need to ride the toll road any distance to reach us. Most Morrisville customers are on I-40 within five minutes of leaving home.
Do you take trade-ins and handle out-of-county paperwork?
Yes to both. Wake County plates and Durham County plates are the same paperwork to us. Get an opening number on your trade with the online tool, then bring the vehicle and the title so the appraisal can be confirmed in person.
Why drive to Durham when Cary has dealerships?
Because from Morrisville the trip is 19 minutes of I-40 rather than a crawl through Cary surface streets, and because service pickup means the drive is a one-time cost, not a recurring one. Morrisville sits far enough west that Durham is genuinely the easy direction, which is not true for most of Wake County.
