The 2018 Mazda CX-9 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Mazda CX-9 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2018 Mazda CX-9, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the CX-9
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Specs, explained
The 2.5L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 9.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $148.80. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Size and space
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the CX-9 answers the big questions. Rent the CX-9 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
