Recalls and complaints

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. 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

It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. 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.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 23 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $136.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Inside and out

As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it.

Year and trim

Compare the GS with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.50 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
