The 2011 Mazda 3: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Mazda 3 for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2011 Mazda 3 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 8.5 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 26 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $131.80. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 481 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the 3 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 3 answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Over to you
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
