Recalls and complaints

NHTSA has 1 owner complaints on file, mostly about exterior lighting. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Under the hood

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. 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.

A combined rating of 9.7 L/100 km works out to about 29 litres per 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.97 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who rents the MX-5

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

What the MX-5 is like

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

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.97 in fuel.
