Verdict

The Mazda MX-5 Miata is an affordable convertible offering a dynamic driving experience. Its small size and low curb weight give it fantastic handling and excellent fuel economy, while an available folding hardtop roof addresses many of the Miata’s limitations as a daily driver.

What's New for 2025

For 2025, Mazda's perennially popular MX-5 Miata convertible undergoes a few subtle changes. A 35th Anniversary edition model has been introduced, and Deep Crystal Blue is now available for the Grand Touring trim.

pros

Easy to drive, short smooth shifts, easy to use clutch. Great driving feel, quick and responsive. Just an all around fun car. I've owned many Porsches and Miatas and I'm back to enjoying the Miata.

cons

Information system is a little hard to adjust too.

pros

Design, rear-wheel drive, light weight, convertible

cons

Could use more power, a glove box, door pockets, and better infotainment and if they would have kept the ND C-type retractable top I would have paid more for that option
