The 1993 Mazda MX-3: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1993 Mazda MX-3 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is the 1993 Mazda MX-3 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 3 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. 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.
Specs, explained
Under the hood: the 1.6L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 8.7 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 26 litres of fuel. 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.
Who the MX-3 suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space and size
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent the MX-3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the MX-3 tells you more than any review. Rent the MX-3 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
