Auto loans: the 2024 Mazda MX-5

No 2024 Mazda MX-5 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2024 Mazda MX-5, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

Before you sign for the MX-5

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and exterior lighting; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Specs, explained

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with 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.

Its combined rating is 8.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $14. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

When the MX-5 makes sense

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Inside and out

As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.

A longer test drive

If the MX-5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the MX-5 on your commute, then decide.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2024 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
