The 2016 Mazda CX-3: before you buy
No 2016 Mazda CX-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 puts the 2016 Mazda CX-3 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the CX-3
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 48 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, unknown or other and back over prevention; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Under the hood
The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, 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.
Combined fuel use is 7.6 L/100 km: about 23 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $35.34 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 453 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
Drive the CX-3 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the CX-3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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.
Your move
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
