Buying the 2021 Mazda 3
No 2021 Mazda 3 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car 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 2021 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
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
It is powered by 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.
The combined figure, 7.6 L/100 km, means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $117.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Size and space
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Drive the 3 on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $117.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
