Specs, explained
The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. 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.
The EPA rates it at 7.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. That works out to about $13.83 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the MX-5 answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
