The 2018 Mazda CX-3 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Mazda CX-3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2018 Mazda CX-3 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Specs, explained
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 7.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $35.34 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 453 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Try before you buy
A week with the CX-3 answers more than any brochure. Drive the CX-3 on your commute before you commit to it. If the CX-3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Over to you
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
