Car financing: the 2017 Mazda 3
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Mazda 3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. 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 puts the 2017 Mazda 3 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the 3
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 7.5 L/100 km combined, it needs around 23 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $34.89 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,125 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Size and space
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. At 623 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the 3 on your commute, then decide. A test week in the 3 tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Next step
