Uber Eats car rental: the 2016 Mazda MX-5 GT

For a car for rideshare or delivery work, here is what the 2016 Mazda MX-5 GT brings, and how to request one. Weekly rates suit gig work; trips of 7 days or more use them. Each platform sets its own vehicle rules, by city and model year; check them before you book.

The MX-5 and Java

Java is about 3,178 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java.

Nearby places include Klinefelter, Ibis and Arrowhead Junction.

The figures, translated

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.

The EPA rates it at 7.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 23 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $40.95 at our price setting.

Inside and out

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

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
