Thinking of buying the 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS?

No 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

What to check on the MX-5

Owners filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, unknown or other and air bags; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The figures, translated

The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. 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.

Expect about 23 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.8 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $13.65 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What to expect from the MX-5

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

When the MX-5 makes sense

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the MX-5 on your commute, then decide.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.65 in fuel.

Narrowing it down

Compare the GS with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
