Car financing: the 2020 Mazda MX-5
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 Mazda MX-5 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2020 Mazda MX-5 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the MX-5
Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Engine and fuel
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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.
The EPA rates it at 7.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $41.49 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who rents the MX-5
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the MX-5 tells you more than any review.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Your move
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
