Thinking of buying the 2008 Mazda 6?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2008 Mazda 6 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2008 Mazda 6 for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the 6
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
Power: the 2.3L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 9.8 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $15.19 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the 6
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Living with the 6
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is rated at 623 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Drive the 6 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 6 answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Still deciding?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2008 Mazda 6 from us first.
