What customers are saying

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata excels in performance and styling, delivering exceptional maneuverability with a lightweight design and responsive handling. Fuel economy is notable for a sports car, though interior and cargo space are limited. Cabin noise at highway speeds, minimal storage, and visibility with the top up are manageable compromises for an engaging roadster experience.

Great Value and The Last True Roadster

PROS
Ride and Handling

Sharp and sporty handling while also soft enough to handle rough roads.

Fuel Economy

I can get around 25-27 in city driving and 33 on the highway. One road trip using state highways allowed me to achieve 40.8mpg over 3.5hours of driving.

Styling

Offers exceptional and mature looks reflecting a cross between old British sports cars and modern styling. Much less cutesy looking than previous generations.

CONS
Seat Comfort

After long drives, the seating can get quite uncomfortable. Recommend tilting seat back but that also requires the seat to be moved forward.

Cabin Noise

Cabin noise at highway speeds. It's a soft top at the end of the day.

Interior Space

Trunk space is adequate for its size. Interior cabin space could use some more practicality with the addition of more cubbies or pockets.

PROS
Ride and Handling

The MX-5 offers one of the most enjoyable driving experience of any car that I've ever owned. My first thought when driving it was that it felt like a street legal go-kart--not everyone's thing, of course. If that does appeal to you and you're looking for a high-quality, nimble car that's a lot of fun to drive, you'd love a Miata.

Fuel Economy

This car gets pretty good gas mileage, which should come as no surprise considering it's a roadster that has been meticulously engineered to be as light as possible and utilizes a 4-cylinder engine. It is intended to be used with premium fuel though, which does mean you'll be spending a bit more at the pump.

Styling

While not as iconic as the original NA Miata, the ND offers appealing, sporty styling. You will get compliments on your car, for whatever it's worth to you.

CONS
Interior Space

Adjusting to daily driving a roadster has definitely been a process. The limited cabin, trunk and glovebox space means that you will have to get used to trying to maximize how space-efficient you can be when carrying things with you. The small cabin also means that the car seats two people at most, including the driver, and people who are particularly tall will have issues comfortably driving or riding in it.
