Car financing: the 2012 Mazda 6
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Mazda 6; 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. For anyone shopping for the 2012 Mazda 6, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the 6
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the figures tell you
Its powertrain is the 2.5L 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.
At 9.5 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 29 litres of fuel. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $147.30. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the 6
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Practical details
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 481 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
If the 6 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the 6 tells you more than any review. A week with the 6 answers more than any brochure.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $147.30 at our price setting.
