Reviewed a 2016 Mazda Grand Touring Convertible on Apr 25, 2024
I bought a three year old 2016 and drove it for five years as a daily driver. I put winter tires on it for cod weather and snow traction. I loved what it did well and accommodated what it didnt do well. I put on a hitch so I could mount a bike rack and all was well. It was very reliable, efficient enough and tons of fun. If you are considering getting one, you will need to get used to being the smallest thing on the road. It has good drivers assistance and even with the insulated top on the Grand Touring model is loud at speed. Get one, you will not regret it. I only sold mine because I really need a back seat and two cars are not an option.
