For over three decades, the Mazda Miata has been the gold standard for affordable, lightweight roadsters. It’s a car that perfectly balances simplicity, handling, and driving enjoyment with a price tag that makes it affordable for just about anyone. While it doesn’t always sell in droves, it proves that Mazda cares about performance and driving pleasure, something that stretches to the rest of the vehicles in the brand’s lineup. Over the years, many automakers have attempted to copy Mazda’s success, and few has gotten closer than General Motors.
