Great car, 35mpg, tight handling. I'd only recommend bringing your own cellphone holder if you want to use one. Owner was friendly and easy to work with. I'd definitely rent from her again.

As a host and a passionate driver, I have to say the Mazda MX-5 embodies what a true driver’s car is. Engine in the front, power to the back, and a manual gearbox—this is pure, authentic connection to the road. The magic happens between third and fourth gear on a curvy road—you feel completely one with the car. While the tires are a bit narrower than a Toyota 86, that only makes it more agile—it handles like a dream. It’s surprisingly comfortable for its size, but ultimately, it’s that raw driving joy at a reasonable price that stands out. And hats off to the host—great communication and a smooth, seamless experience!
