Car Deal of the Day: Embrace the heatwave with a drop-top Mazda MX-5 for £222 a month

Two-seat sports cars don’t come any better than the Mazda MX-5, especially at this price. It’s our Deal of the Day for 24 June

  • Zesty 1.5-litre engine
  • Finely tuned handling
  • Only £222.48 a month

What better way to embrace the current heatwave than by getting yourself a two-seat sports car? Better still, the world's best-selling roadster, the Mazda MX-5, for a balmy £222.48 a month? 

Prices for this stupendous sports car have melted in recent weeks to offer outrageous value for money. This deal, available right now on the Auto Express Buy A Car service, comes from Car Leasing Online, and requires a very modest £2,969.76 as a 12-month initial payment to get it under way. It's a four-year deal with an annual mileage cap of 5,000 a year.

Tweaking the terms still represents great value, too; switching to a nine-month initial payment will see you saving a cool £500 straight away, with the monthly outlay only rising to £234.40. 

In fact, if you're a high-miler, going for the nine-month initial payment option might be the better way because then adjusting the annual mileage cap to 8,000 will only cost you 73 pence more a month. 

The MX-5 in this deal is for the entry-level car with the 1.5-litre engine. But this is no bother, because Mazda doesn't make a bad MX-5. 

Prime-Line trim includes all the basics plus a few luxuries, such as 16-inch black alloys, electrically adjustable heated door mirrors, and an 8.8-inch screen with sat-nav and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The 1.5-litre engine is a real gem, too. It may only have 132bhp but it loves to rev, and coupled with a wonderfully precise six-speed manual gearbox and sharp chassis, the car is an absolute joy to drive.
