Specs, explained
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.
A combined rating of 9.8 L/100 km works out to about 29 litres per 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $51.45 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the MX-5 is like
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the MX-5 answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.15 in fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
