Overview

The Mazda MX-5 Miata is a favorite among sports car enthusiasts thanks to its relatively affordable price, light curb weight, and sporty driving demeanor. The Miata can be had in either a soft top or retractable hard top, known as the RF.

With the top down and the six-speed manual transmission, the Miata is a car built for fun and driving enthusiasm. As the smallest and sportiest car in Mazda's lineup, it has a strong following for good reason and continues to offer a desirable combination of features that make it an easy car to consider.

The MX-5 Miata is part of a relatively small group of affordable sports cars available in the United States that also includes the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ. With updated styling for 2024, the Miata now features updated design elements, new infotainment displays, and fresh wheel designs. If a sports car has been on your list of next car considerations, the Miata is well worth a test drive.
