The figures, translated

Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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. 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.

Who it is for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Size and space

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

A longer test drive

Rent first, buy later: a week with the MX-5 answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Running costs

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.50 at our price setting.
