The 2017 Mazda MX-5 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Mazda MX-5; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Before you buy the 2017 Mazda MX-5, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Engine and fuel
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.
The combined figure, 8.0 L/100 km, means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the MX-5
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Who it is for
It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
A test week in the MX-5 tells you more than any review. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Which one to look for
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
