Engine and fuel

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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 8.0 L/100 km rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $42 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What the MX-5 is like

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

Who rents the MX-5

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A longer test drive

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the MX-5 answers more than any brochure. Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

The cost of driving it

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $140 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a trim

Compare the GS with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
