The 2023 Mazda 3: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2023 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 you buy the 2023 Mazda 3, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Before you sign for the 3
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the figures tell you
The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through 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 7.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $35.34 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the 3
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Practical details
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Try the 3 on your commute, then decide. 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, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $117.80 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
