    The 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS: before you buy

    We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

    Recalls and complaints

    NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, steering and air bags; have those parts checked.

    Reading the spec sheet

    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.

    At 8.0 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 24 litres of fuel. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $140. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Good uses for the MX-5

    It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

    What to expect from the MX-5

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

    Drive it on your own roads

    Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

    Year and trim

    Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

    Money matters

    The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14 in fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.

    Ruby and the MX-5

    If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 1,005 km from Ruby, and does not deliver there.
