Buying a Pre-Owned Mazda3 is Always a Good Call
September 07 2022,
When it comes to fun and stylish sport compact cars, they don’t come much more fun and stylish than the Mazda3.
Whether you’re considering the four-door sedan or five-door Sport hatchback, you’re going to get a car with an aggressive front fascia complete with five-point grille and squinting headlights, great wheel designs and eye-catching colours such as Soul Crystal Red Metallic and Polymetal Grey. These are cars that have been designed with a purpose, and it shows.
They look like a lot of fun, and thanks to direct steering and taut chassis settings, they drive like a lot of fun as well but come just short of the firmness found in more expensive sport compacts. As a result, the Mazda3 is a popular car in Canada and with popular cars come active pre-owned markets, so now’s the time to start shopping!
When you do, look for two engine types: a naturally-aspirated four-cylinder and a gutsy turbo 2.5-litre four-banger good for 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. In addition to that, look for two drivetrains: front- or all-wheel-drive, making the 3 one of a select few compact cars sold in Canada available with this tech, which gives it a big leg up on the competition. Both engines and drive types can be found in sedan or hatchback form.
You might also want to keep in mind that if you’re looking at a vehicle from 2019 or later, you’ll also get the latest Mazda infotainment tech which provides a wider display and faster operating system, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No matter which of these you choose, know that they all come standard with Mazda’s reliable build quality, powertrain components and interior fit and finish. These are all big selling points when it comes to the pre-owned market so what are you waiting for?
