Car leasing: the 2012 Mazda 6

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Mazda 6 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is what to know about the 2012 Mazda 6 before buying one.

A buyer's checks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The numbers in plain words

Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Combined fuel use is 9.5 L/100 km: about 29 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $44.19 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. EPA lists 481 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who the 6 suits

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the 6 answers more than any brochure.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.73 in fuel.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Want a price?

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
