    The 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS for buyers

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS for sale by us right now. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS 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 private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, unknown or other and air bags; have those parts checked.

    Reading the spec sheet

    The 2.0L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.

    Plan on about 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.8 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $136.50. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

    Space, size and seats

    Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.

    Who it is for

    It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

    Rent it for a week first

    Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent first, buy later: a week with the MX-5 answers the big questions. Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

    Money matters

    A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.65 in fuel.

    Choosing the right one

    Compare the GS with the other trims of the same year before you decide. 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.
