Certified Pre-Owned: the 2003 Mazda MPV
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2003 Mazda MPV; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2003 Mazda MPV before buying one.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 113 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and engine cooling and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Under the hood
It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder and 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 39 litres. That works out to about $20.31 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits groups, airport runs with luggage and family trips.
The MPV in everyday use
As a minivan, it puts space for people and luggage first.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting.
