The 2016 Mazda 3 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Mazda 3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2016 Mazda 3, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
It runs 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.
Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $110.10. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 623 litres of luggage space hold bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the 3 on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
