The 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

What the figures tell you

It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. 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.

Best uses

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it. A week with the MX-5 answers more than any brochure. Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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 $14 in fuel.

Choosing the right one

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the GS with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
