The 2018 Mazda MX-5 GT for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Mazda MX-5 GT for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GT, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the MX-5

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Engine and fuel

Its powertrain 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.

Its combined rating is 8.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $14, and a 300 km weekend about $42. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.

The MX-5 in everyday use

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

Who the MX-5 suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

A longer test drive

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. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $140 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.

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. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Java Center and the MX-5

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java Center starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. Java Center is about 144 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.
