    Buying the 2021 Mazda MX-5 GT

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Mazda MX-5 GT for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2021 Mazda MX-5 GT in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

    Before you sign for the MX-5

    Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

    The figures, translated

    The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. 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 7.9 L/100 km, which means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $41.49 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Best uses

    It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

    Space and size

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

    A longer test drive

    A test week in the MX-5 tells you more than any review. Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it. Try the MX-5 on your commute, then decide.

    Year and trim

    Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. 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.

    Money matters

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel.

    The MX-5 and Basic

    Basic is about 3,242 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Basic.
