Reading the spec sheet
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.
At 7.9 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 24 litres of fuel. A 300 km weekend costs about $41.49 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the MX-5
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who rents the MX-5

Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Running costs

Narrowing it down
