2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata Sport

This is Mazda's two-seat roadster, the one that has always been about lightweight fun over outright power. The steering is quick and talkative, and the rear-drive chassis makes it eager to rotate, so you'll find yourself hunting for corners. The ride is firm and the cabin is snug, but that's the trade for a car that weighs barely a ton and feels like an extension of you. Cargo space is minimal, but the manual soft top is easy to drop, and the interior keeps controls simple and driver-focused. Its 2.0L I4 makes 167 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed manual that's a joy to row through gears on a back road. You get 16-inch alloy wheels and cloth seats, and the suspension is tuned a touch softer than the Club's, so the ride is a bit more forgiving on rough pavement.
