Buying the 2011 Mazda 3
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Mazda 3 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is the 2011 Mazda 3 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 8.5 L/100 km works out to about 26 litres per 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $39.54 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the 3 suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
What to expect from the 3
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 481 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the 3 tells you more than any review.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2011 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
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $131.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When you know your dates
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Mazda 3 from us first.
