The figures, translated

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

The Mazda3 in everyday use

As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Mazda3 answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Choosing the right one

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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

What it costs to run

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Questions first?

Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.

Rent it for a week before you buy
