Trade in: the 2012 Mazda 5
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Mazda 5; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. The 2012 Mazda 5 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Engine and fuel
The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 9.8 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $151.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Space, size and seats
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the 5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 5 answers the big questions.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,800 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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Want a price?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Mazda 5 from us first.
