The Mazda MX-5 is a sports car that is best when cruising on the open road with its top retracted. However, this two-seater can be an effective vehicle for daily commutes, as well. Not only is it fun to drive, but it is also very efficient.Â
The Mazda MX-5 convertible and hardtop models come with 2.0L I-4 engines. Since the curb weight of these cars is under 1,100 kg, the level of power is sufficient for providing exciting performance (without excessive gas use).Â
Exactly how frugal is the Mazda MX-5? Used models average 7.0 L/100 km on the highway with a manual transmission. Automatic gear shifting can lower this figure down to 6.6, while city driving ups the gas use to 9.0 L/100 km.Â
Even with this practicality, the fun is still present. Depending on the model year, the Mazda MX-5 will reach 100 km/h in six to 6.5 seconds. To check the availability near you, contact our BC, Canada dealership.
