The 2011 Mazda Speed 3 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Mazda Speed 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. This page sets out the 2011 Mazda Speed 3 for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Speed 3
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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
It uses the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 11.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $59.85 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the Speed 3 is like
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 481 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the Speed 3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Speed 3 answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.95 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $199.50 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
