Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 11 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, steering and air bags. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 8.0 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $42 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
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 a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $140 at our price setting.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. 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.
