The 2012 Mazda 6 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2012 Mazda 6 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. This page sets out the 2012 Mazda 6 for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the 6
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Engine and fuel
It is powered by the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with 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.
It is rated 9.5 L/100 km combined: about 29 litres every 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $44.19 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 481 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the 6 suits
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the 6 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the 6 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 6 answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
One more step

Rent it for a week before you buy
