Sweet engines, flick-switch gearchange, best-in-class handling, good value and cheap to run.
Slightly contrived styling, 1.6 a bit tardy.
Still one of the best, despite its age.
The MX-5 has a comfortable, low-slung driving position and a much more resilient ride than the previous model. With the hood up, wind noise is surprisingly low. The latest cars have more luggage space but it's still not overly generous. On top of that you get door bins, a reasonable-size glovebox and a locker between the seats. All MX-5s now come with an RDS-equipped Sony radio/cassette. A 10-CD autochanger is optional across the range.
