Buying the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is what to know about the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS before buying one.

Before you sign for the MX-5

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Engine and fuel

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.

Plan on about 24 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.0 L/100 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

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

Who the MX-5 suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.

Try before you buy

If the MX-5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the MX-5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $140 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Year and trim

Compare the GS with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
