Miles Overview
The MX-5 Miata is Mazda's small two-seat convertible, the car that revived the affordable roadster in the 1990s. It's all about balance: the Miata is light, eager, and happy to rev, making even a short drive feel like an event. The steering is quick and talkative, and the car rotates beautifully through corners with the rear end ready to play. Inside, the cabin is snug and simple, with just enough room for two and a small trunk that fits a weekend bag. This is the base Miata, so you get the same eager chassis and manual top as the more expensive editions, just without the leather or limited-slip diff. The 1.8L four makes 120 horsepower and loves to rev, paired with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive that make every shift feel connected.
