Thinking of buying the 2008 Mazda 5?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2008 Mazda 5 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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 2008 Mazda 5, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the 5
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by the 2.3L 4-cylinder, with 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.
Its combined rating is 9.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $151.90. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Space and size
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the 5 tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting.
Next step
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
