    Certified Pre-Owned: the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS

    CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

    What to check on the MX-5

    There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    The figures, translated

    Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder; drive: 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.

    A combined rating of 8.0 L/100 km works out to about 24 litres per 300 km. Expect 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

    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 a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

    Drive it on your own roads

    Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the MX-5 tells you more than any review.

    Money matters

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $140 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Picking a year and a trim

    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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

    Knobs and the MX-5

    Knobs is about 692 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Knobs.
