Thinking of buying the 2013 Mazda 3?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2013 Mazda 3 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2013 Mazda 3, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the 3
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 22 litres, from its 7.4 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $11.47 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,125 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the 3
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 481 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
If the 3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the 3 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 3 answers the big questions.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2013 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.47 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
