Buying the 2006 Mazda Mazda3
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2006 Mazda Mazda3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2006 Mazda Mazda3 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Mazda3
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 166 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked.
The figures, translated
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Space, size and seats
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the Mazda3 tells you more than any review.
Money matters
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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. 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.
Let us know
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
