2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club

The MX-5 Miata is Mazda's lightweight two-seat roadster, the car that keeps the classic open-top sports car alive. It's a joy to drive, with quick steering and a chassis that makes every corner feel like an event. The ride is firm and the cabin is snug, which is the trade for how nimble and connected it feels. It's a true two-seat convertible, so cargo space is tight, but the trunk fits a weekend bag or two. The Club is the Miata for driving purists, adding a limited-slip differential and Bilstein dampers over the Sport while skipping the Grand Touring's leather and automatic climate control. Its 2.0L I4 makes 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque, which doesn't sound like much, but in a car that weighs 2,381 pounds it's enough to make every on-ramp a thrill.
