The Mazda MX-5 is better than ever, a distillation of the sports car that has matured into a brilliant little roadster -
Chassis’ limitations aren’t hard to find, tight cabin's MX-5 is an industry stalwart and one of those cars so iconic it defines the small roadster itself. One might be forgiven for thinking that something with an ethos this old might feel out of touch with our modern world of electrification and SUVs, but theinstead remains a shining beacon of affordable fun, with low running costs and, in recent years, some real class to its powertrains and design.
This ‘ND’ generation is the fourth since the car’s first introduction in 1989, and despite the changing ecosystem around it, the MX-5 steadfastly remains a two-seater, rear-wheel-drive roadster with a longitudinally mounted, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine . It took us a little time to appreciate the latest MX-5. It's rare that a modern performance-orientated car rolls so much in corners, and we were initially disillusioned with its lack of focus in a market where even entry-level hot hatches are razor-sharp and blisteringly quick. That, of course, is deliberate on Mazda's part – the MX-5 is designed to bring driving pleasure to the masses, rather than chase lap times.
