Thinking of buying the 2018 Mazda 3?
No 2018 Mazda 3 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2018 Mazda 3 for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Specs, explained
Its powertrain 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.
A combined rating of 7.5 L/100 km works out to about 23 litres per 300 km. That works out to about $11.63 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 623 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the 3
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the 3 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the 3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the 3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Talk to a person
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
