A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about exterior lighting, seat belts and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Engine and fuel

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives 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.

Rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined, it needs around 24 litres for a 300 km round trip. 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.

Who rents the MX-5

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.

Living with the MX-5

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

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

The cost of driving it

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
