The 2023 Mazda 3 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2023 Mazda 3 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2023 Mazda 3 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the 3
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder; drive: 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.
It is rated 7.6 L/100 km combined: about 23 litres every 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $35.34 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the 3 is like
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
If the 3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the 3 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $117.80 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Ready to ask?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
