The 2011 Mazda MX-5: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Mazda MX-5 for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2011 Mazda MX-5? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the MX-5
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. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The figures, translated
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. 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 9.7 L/100 km combined: about 29 litres every 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $16.97 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the MX-5
It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What to expect from the MX-5
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $169.70 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
