The 2020 Mazda MX-5 for buyers
No 2020 Mazda MX-5 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2020 Mazda MX-5 for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Reading the spec sheet
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.
Rated at 7.9 L/100 km combined, it needs around 24 litres for a 300 km round trip. For 1,000 km, budget about $138.30 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who the MX-5 suits
It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
If the MX-5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Talk to a person
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
