Car leasing: 2022 Mazda CX-5 GT in Farmbrook

Thinking of buying the 2022 Mazda CX-5 GT?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2022 Mazda CX-5 GT for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is the 2022 Mazda CX-5 GT for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 65 complaints with NHTSA, most often about exterior lighting, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with four-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

Its combined rating is 9.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.95. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Who the CX-5 suits

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Try before you buy

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Drive the CX-5 on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Running costs

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting.

Year and trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
