The 2012 Mazda 5 for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Mazda 5; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2012 Mazda 5, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. 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.

The numbers in plain words

The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 29 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.8 L/100 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $45.57 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.

When the 5 makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Practical details

Being a minivan, it carries people and their bags without fuss.

Try before you buy

Rent the 5 for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the 5 tells you more than any review.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
