Thinking of buying the 2010 Mazda 3?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2010 Mazda 3 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2010 Mazda 3, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the 3
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. 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, 8.4 L/100 km, means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $13.02 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the 3 is like
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 481 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the 3 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 3 answers the big questions. A test week in the 3 tells you more than any review.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $130.20 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.02 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
