    The 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS-P for buyers

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS-P for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS-P in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

    A buyer's checks

    In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    Reading the spec sheet

    The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. 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.

    At 7.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 23 litres of fuel. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.65, and a 300 km weekend about $40.95. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    What to expect from the MX-5

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

    Who the MX-5 suits

    It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

    Drive it on your own roads

    Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the MX-5 on your commute before you commit to it.

    The cost of driving it

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.

    Narrowing it down

    If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the GS-P with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

    Renting for Java
