The 2006 Mazda 3 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2006 Mazda 3 for sale by us right now. The 2006 Mazda 3 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 8.7 L/100 km, means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.49 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the 3 makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 481 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the 3 on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 3 answers the big questions.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
