Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the specs mean

The 2.0L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.

It is rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $42 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.

What the MX-5 is like

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

Who the MX-5 suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the MX-5 on your commute, then decide.

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
