Trade in: the 2012 Mazda 6
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2012 Mazda 6 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. The 2012 Mazda 6 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
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. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
What the specs mean
Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.5 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $44.19 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the 6
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 481 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
Drive the 6 on your commute before you commit to it. A week with the 6 answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 6 answers the big questions.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $147.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.73 in fuel.
