    Trade in: the 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS

    We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS for sale by us right now. The 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

    Before you sign for the MX-5

    Owners filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, steering and air bags; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

    Under the hood

    The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with 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. For 1,000 km, budget about $140 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    Room inside

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

    Who the MX-5 suits

    It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.

    A longer test drive

    A test week in the MX-5 tells you more than any review. Rent the MX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. 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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Which one to look for

    If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the GS with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
