We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS for sale by us right now. The 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

A buyer's checks

There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, steering and air bags; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Reading the spec sheet

The 2.0L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.

The EPA rates it at 8.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $14 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

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.

Practical details

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

Try before you buy

Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it.

Choosing the right one

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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.
