    Buying the 2021 Mazda MX-5 GS

    CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2021 Mazda MX-5 GS before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2021 Mazda MX-5 GS? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

    A buyer's checks

    NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 1 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train; have those parts checked.

    The figures, translated

    Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder; drive: 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 7.9 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $41.49 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Who the MX-5 suits

    It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

    Size and space

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

    A longer test drive

    Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the MX-5 on your commute, then decide. Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life.

    Narrowing it down

    Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

    The cost of driving it

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
