To many, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is the perfect sports car. Small, light and agile, with enough power and rear-wheel-drive playfulness to have fun, but not so much that you can’t go full throttle without wildly doing triple digits. It’s reliable, affordable and even fairly livable as a daily driver, so long as you’re not too big, or need to bring too many other things or companions along with you. And these days, being a convertible puts it in rarefied territory that’s increasingly reserved for expensive sports cars for the wealthy.
