The 2013 Mazda MX-5: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2013 Mazda MX-5; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2013 Mazda MX-5? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags and vehicle speed control. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Reading the spec sheet
The 2.0L 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.
Fuel use is rated 9.7 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $169.70. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the MX-5 makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
The MX-5 in everyday use
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the MX-5 on your commute, then decide. Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,400 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.
