The 2016 Mazda 3 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Mazda 3 for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2016 Mazda 3, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the 3
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 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.
It is rated 7.1 L/100 km combined: about 21 litres every 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $33.03 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 623 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Best uses
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the 3 tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
