If you’re in the market for a relatively affordable new sports car, chances are you’ve glanced at the Mazda MX-5 Miata. It’s an obvious choice for performance vehicle buyers on a budget who want something brand-new. Miatas aren’t very powerful, and the base model doesn’t come with many features. However, drivers love the MX-5 for the roadster’s superb handling due to a 50/50 weight balance, rear-wheel drive, and a standard manual transmission.
