Car financing: the 2004 Mazda 3
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2004 Mazda 3 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 helps you judge the 2004 Mazda 3 before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 8.7 L/100 km, means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.49. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the 3
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 481 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the 3 answers more than any brochure. Rent the 3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
