Arguably one of the most fun cars to drive of all time, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is a zippy, sporty machine that continues its great heritage for the 2019 model year.
This two-seat, sport convertible is powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 155 horsepower and is linked to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
It features rear-wheel drive and possesses a balanced 50/50 weight distribution, giving it a super tight suspension. That is a main contributor to the fun-to-drive factor referenced above.
The Miata comes in three trims: the Sport, Club and Grand Touring.
Our test model was the Grand Touring with the manual transmission.
This car loves twisty roads and makes it seem like it wants to have as much fun as you wish behind the wheel.
The manual transmission has buttery-smooth shifting, while braking is swift and sure.
Fuel economy is rated at 26 mpg city, 34 highway.
This car is, as you might imagine, very small, so it's going to score low on the practicality scale. But if you're just looking for a fun and gun machine to take out on back roads, you'd be hard-pressed to do better.
The tester had a sticker price of $33,050.
