2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata review

1. Epic driving experience

The open road awaits, and your 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata will absolutely be the ideal driving companion. The rear-wheel drive, open-top roadster is an essential experience for any enthusiast, and the 181-horsepower 2021 Miata certainly delivers. With a sport-tuned chassis, standard six-speed manual transmission, and open-air driving, you just can't beat the 2021 MX-5 Miata for pure driving enjoyment.

2. Impressive MPG

Driving a convertible sports car doesn't have to mean sacrificing miles per gallon. The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata gets an EPA-estimated 29 mpg combined (26 city/34 highway) from its 2.0L four-cylinder engine when equipped with the six-speed manual transmission and 30 mpg combined with the automatic.

3. Latest connectivity

You'll of course need to bring along your favorite playlist to accompany you on your favorite road. That means finding a vehicle that has the latest connectivity. Even the base Sport trim of the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata has Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ smartphone integration as well as two USB ports. Plus, it's all easy to view on the standard seven-inch touchscreen.

4. Comfort features

Living the sports car life doesn't have to mean that you compromise on comfort. Look out for the Grand Touring trim and you'll find impressive upgrades to make your next road trip that much more comfortable. So if you are looking for features like leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and heated mirrors, you're in luck.

5. Sport upgrades

The base 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata is called the Sport, which means you should expect an entertaining driving experience. However, take a look at the Club trim and you'll find the sportiest overall option in the 2021 MX-5 lineup. In addition to the limited-slip differential, which enhances traction during acceleration, you'll also get a strut tower brace, and an upgraded suspension setup featuring Bilstein shock^® absorbers.
