    The 2016 Mazda MX-5 GT: before you buy

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Mazda MX-5 GT for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2016 Mazda MX-5 GT for buyers, in plain words.

    Recalls and complaints

    NHTSA has 34 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, unknown or other and air bags. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    Reading the spec sheet

    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.

    The combined figure, 7.8 L/100 km, means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $13.65 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

    A good match for

    It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

    Practical details

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

    Rent it for a week first

    Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the MX-5 tells you more than any review. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

    Choosing the right one

    If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the GT with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

    What it costs to run

    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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.50 at our price setting.

    A note on Freestone
