    Thinking of buying the 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS?

    We are a rental company, not a dealer, so 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.

    What to check on the MX-5

    In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, unknown or other and air bags; have those parts checked.

    The numbers in plain words

    The powertrain to know here is 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.

    Combined fuel use is 7.8 L/100 km: about 23 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $136.50 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    The MX-5 in everyday use

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

    Who the MX-5 suits

    It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

    Try before you buy

    A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

    What it costs to run

    At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.65 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.50 at our price setting.

    Which one to look for

    Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
