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.
