Meet the 1997 Mazda MX-5
Here is what the 1997 Mazda MX-5 offered, in numbers and plain words.
Reading the spec sheet
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Practical details
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Road trips
Plan longer trips against the kilometres included each day. Each car shows the kilometres included each day and the rate for extra ones. A long weekend away is easy to price with the figures on this page.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Renting the MX-5 from CarmaCars
Meanwhile, 7 similar cars are listed below. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Renting: the basics
We rent to drivers aged 18 and up who hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. Drivers under 26 can rent with a young driver fee each day. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.
The CarmaCars Protection Plan is priced in your offer by car and driver age, as one of three options for damage to the car. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. We check your licence and identity before we confirm, the same way for every renter.
How to book
You ask for the car you want for the dates you need. The request itself is free. We send the offer to your account and your email, with the total shown. You have 24 hours to approve an offer, and payment comes with your approval.
A car's page shows the deposit and the kilometres included each day. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.
Talk to a person
A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.
