Buying the 2011 Mazda 3
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Mazda 3 for sale by us right now. 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 2011 Mazda 3 before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 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.
A combined rating of 8.5 L/100 km works out to about 26 litres per 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.18 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 481 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
A week with the 3 answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.18 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $131.80 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
