Buying the 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata
No 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page helps you judge the 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata before you buy one anywhere.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Engine and fuel
The 1.8L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.
It is rated 10.2 L/100 km combined: about 31 litres every 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $178.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
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. Drive the MX-5 Miata on your commute before you commit to it.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
