Thinking of buying the 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 8 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, fuel system and seat belts. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
Its 1.8L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
At 10.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 31 litres of fuel. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.85. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The MX-5 Miata in everyday use
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
When the MX-5 Miata makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the MX-5 Miata on your commute, then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2004 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Get an offer
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata from us first.
