The 2016 Mazda Mazda3: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 Mazda Mazda3 for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2016 Mazda Mazda3, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Living with the Mazda3
Being a car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Rent the Mazda3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the Mazda3 tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
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.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Still deciding?
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 Mazda Mazda3 from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2016 Mazda Mazda3 for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the 2016 Mazda Mazda3
Does CarmaCars sell the 2016 Mazda Mazda3?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a 2016 Mazda Mazda3 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2016 Mazda Mazda3 have recalls?
NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
