Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Good uses for the Mazda3
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space, size and seats
Being a car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
Rent it for a week first
Try the Mazda3 on your commute, then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Mazda3 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
