Thinking of buying the 2018 Mazda CX-9?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Mazda CX-9 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 2018 Mazda CX-9, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the CX-9
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words
Its powertrain is the 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 9.6 L/100 km works out to about 29 litres per 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $44.64 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Living with the CX-9
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Try before you buy
A week with the CX-9 answers more than any brochure. Rent the CX-9 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
