The numbers in plain words

The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. 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.

Rated at 7.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 23 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, it costs about $13.65 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

What the MX-5 is like

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.

Good uses for the MX-5

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.

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. Rent first, buy later: a week with the MX-5 answers the big questions. Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it.

What it costs to run

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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.50 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
