Thinking of buying the 2021 Mazda MX-5?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Mazda MX-5 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 2021 Mazda MX-5? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks

The figures, translated
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 7.9 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $13.83 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Good uses for the MX-5
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the MX-5 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
The cost of driving it
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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2021 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Ask us
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
