Mazda Miata Best Sports Car for the Money
The Mazda Miata has long been one of the best-selling models in the Mazda family – and for good reason! It’s a gorgeous sports car that makes any drive more fun. But the car is not all good looks and a powerhouse engine (it’s not even among the strongest or the fastest) – the Mazda Miata offers an experience unlike any other, and it continues to do that year after year.
Here are just a few of the reasons why so many people love the Mazda Miata – and why we think it’s the best sports car out there for the money:
Classic Style
Sports cars seem to get more and more outrageous in their styling in their attempt to one-up the competition year after year. The Mazda Miata has maintained its style over the years – one that is descended from classic roadsters of the 1960s. When you look at the Miata, you’ll see traces of classics like the Alfa Romeo and the Lotus Elan. But the Miata still stands on its own, with a unique style that holds up year after year.
Phenomenal Performance
The Mazda Miata isn’t the fastest or the most powerful car out there – the horsepower doesn’t even top 200. But the Miata is finely calibrated for a thrilling ride. The small, low-to-the-ground profile ensures that you feel every bit of your ride. You’ll feel those turns more acutely when you take them, and every rumble of the road will make you feel just how fast you’re going. Seated so close to the windshield, you’ll almost feel like you’re flying when you really get going.
Most Miatas are outfitted with a manual transmission that has precise shifting and short gears. You’ll love the way the car shifts, which will add to the spirited nature of your drive. Additionally, the engine is designed to push power to the rear wheels as you drive, so you’ll feel a seamless weight distribution for perfect balance and fast response as you tear down the road.
Flexibility
Mazda has been making the Miata for a few decades now, and it has continued to improve upon its design while also offering a range of variants to give people just want they want in their model. The years have seen the Miata offer hard and soft tops, convenience features like heated seats and automatic climate control, and improved mechanics like Bilstein shocks or a limited slip differential.
