    The 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS: before you buy

    CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

    Before you sign for the MX-5

    Owners filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, steering and air bags; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    Reading the spec sheet

    Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic. 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.

    It is rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. That works out to about $14 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    Size and space

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

    Who rents the MX-5

    It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

    A longer test drive

    A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the MX-5 on your commute, then decide. A week with the MX-5 answers more than any brochure.

    Running costs

    The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $140 at our price setting.

    Choosing the right one

    If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
