Car leasing: the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page sets out the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS for buyers, in plain words.

Before you sign for the MX-5

NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Reading the spec sheet

The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, 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.

Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.0 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $14 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.

Who rents the MX-5

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Try before you buy

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life.

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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14 in fuel.

Narrowing it down

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
