Reviews SummaryThe Ford Mustang returns for a final tour as its primary rivals head to retirement. This seventh-generation pony car is based on its predecessor but receives numerous upgrades that significantly improve its interior and technology. For fun on a budget, it's difficult to beat a Mustang, and this newest version continues the tradition with a healthy dose of nostalgia. | |
Reviews SummaryMazda’s legendary two-seat, rear-drive roadster isn’t the most powerful or the fastest sports car you can buy, and it won’t elicit envy as a luxury-brand convertible can. But some people will longingly stare as you drive by with the top down, music on, and hair tousled by the breeze, wishing they could get a Mazda-badged reality escape pod of their own. We say go for it, new or used, from any of the four generations of MX-5s. But the 2022-2023 versions are the best. | |
