Under the hood

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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.

Rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined, it needs around 24 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $42 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What the MX-5 is like

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

When the MX-5 makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.

Try before you buy

Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the MX-5 answers more than any brochure.

Money matters

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14 in fuel.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
