The figures, translated
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.
Its combined rating is 10.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.85. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
How big it is
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the MX-5 Miata for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $178.50 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
