Is the MX-5 right for you?
- Buy it if you want an affordable, rear-wheel-drive roadster with a manual; few new cars offer that combination.
- Buy it if running costs matter; it is rated 8.0 to 8.1 L/100 km and carries Mazda's unlimited-kilometre warranty.
- Buy the RF if you want a solid roof for Canadian winters with open-air driving at the push of a button.
- Look elsewhere if you need more than two seats or meaningful cargo space.
- Look elsewhere if you want more power for similar money; the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ make 228 hp.

Buying a used MX-5 in Canada
Know the generations
The current fourth-generation MX-5 launched for 2016 and has been sold as a Soft Top and RF. Earlier generations date back to 1990 and are popular weekend cars, but expect age-related wear.
Check the recalls
2016 to 2023 cars are covered by the airbag recall 2024-538, and 2024 and 2025 cars by the stability control recall 2025-275. Ask for proof the work was done.
Inspect for rust
Earlier-generation MX-5s are known to rust at the rear wheel arches and sills, so inspect those areas carefully on cars driven through Canadian winters.
Look for signs of track use
Check the clutch, tires and brakes, and ask whether the car has been on track or modified.
MX-5 alternatives
| Alternative | 2026 starts at | NRCan combined | Better if you... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota GR86 | CA$32,695 (Toyota Canada) | 9.7 to 10.6 L/100 km | want 228 hp for less |
| Subaru BRZ | CA$33,395 (The Car Guide) | 9.6 to 10.5 L/100 km | want the GR86's twin with Subaru styling |
| Ford Mustang EcoBoost | CA$38,930 (The Car Guide) | 9.1 L/100 km | want 315 hp from a turbo four |
| Nissan Z | CA$50,998 (The Car Guide) | 10.6 to 11.9 L/100 km | want a 400 hp two-seater |

FAQs About Mazda MX-5
How much is a 2026 Mazda MX-5 in Canada?
The Soft Top GS starts at CA$35,700 and the RF GT Grand Sport Package tops the range at CA$49,400, plus CA$2,095 for freight and PDE.
What is the difference between the MX-5 Soft Top and RF?
The Soft Top has a manual fabric roof. The RF has a power-retractable hardtop and costs CA$3,000 more than the same Soft Top trim. The RF isn't offered as a GS.
Can you get an MX-5 with a manual transmission?
Yes. A six-speed manual is available on every trim, and the GS, Sport Package and Grand Sport Package are manual only. A six-speed automatic is a no-cost option on the GS-P and GT.
How much horsepower does the MX-5 have?
181 hp at 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft from a 2.0L four-cylinder that revs to 7,500 rpm.
What is the MX-5's fuel consumption?
NRCan rates the 2026 MX-5 at 8.0 L/100 km combined with the automatic and 8.1 with the manual.
What does the GS-P Sport Package add?
Brembo front brakes, forged BBS wheels and heated Recaro seats, on top of the GS-P's Bilstein dampers and limited-slip differential. It is manual only, from CA$44,100.
Is a new-generation MX-5 coming?
Yes, it is in development, but Mazda hasn't announced a date. Mazda says it will keep a naturally aspirated engine, light weight and a true manual.
What warranty does the MX-5 have in Canada?
Mazda Canada covers it for 3 years and the powertrain for 5 years, both with unlimited kilometres, plus 7 years of unlimited-kilometre anti-perforation coverage.
Are there recalls on the MX-5?
Yes. Recall 2024-538 updates the airbag software on 2016 to 2023 models, and recall 2025-275 replaces the stability control unit on 2024 and 2025 models.
How many MX-5s are sold in Canada?
Mazda Canada sold 1,054 MX-5s in 2025 and 973 through September 2026, up 1.8%.
Is the MX-5 good in winter?
It is a light, rear-wheel-drive car, so winter tires are essential. The RF's hardtop makes it easier to live with year-round.
Where is the MX-5 built?
In Japan, at Mazda's plant in Hiroshima, so Canadian counter-tariffs on U.S.-built vehicles don't apply.
