Buying the 2012 Mazda 2
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Mazda 2; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2012 Mazda 2? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The 1.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 7.6 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $11.78 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the 2 answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. 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.
