The 2016 Mazda 3 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Mazda 3 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2016 Mazda 3 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 7.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $110.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the 3 is like
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 623 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the 3
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Try before you buy
Rent the 3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the 3 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. 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 $11.01 in fuel.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
