A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2024 Mazda CX-5 GS, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 45 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, service brakes and engine. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The figures, translated

The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

Fuel use is rated 8.9 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 27 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.80, and a 300 km weekend about $41.40. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Who rents the CX-5

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

A longer test drive

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the CX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the CX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.80 in fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
