Opinions: 2012 Mazda 3

We bought a 2013 CX-5 one year ago for our 16yo. It has the 2.0 skyactive engine and 6mt. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again. The 2.0 runs well and seems to hold up well. The only down side is that it is very efficient which means less heat than you would want at -30C. Great on gas though.
 
Appreciate all the information -- went for a test drive yesterday.

There was no undercarriage rust, but the vehicle's condition was very poor and they would not budge from their way-too-high asking price.

I'd really hoped it would be close to decent. But the search goes on...
 
I bought my 2012 straight off the dealership lot and it had a Skyactiv badge. Said it on the engine too IIRC.
Reread how you wrote that word, and completely compare it to how it was written in the other posts.
Now, reread his post.

Hopefully you identified the joke this time. :)

BC.
