Why it stands out

The 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata stands out because Mazda has pushed its iconic sports car even closer to the formula that made it famous. For this year, it gets new steering, a reworked limited-slip rear differential, and a DSC-Track setting that relaxes the traction and stability control systems. Those changes reinforce the Miata’s reputation as a simple, engaging driver’s car, and the test-drive notes back that up with praise for its fun-to-drive character, improved handling, and excellent value for money.

Mazda also updated the cabin and tech for 2024. The Miata gets the latest Mazda Connect infotainment system with an Alexa digital assistant, along with several interior refinements. New front and rear headlights, redesigned 17-inch wheels, and new exterior and interior colors help freshen the look without changing the car’s core identity. At the same time, the Miata remains a focused sports car rather than a practical one, with drawbacks that include noise, limited interior storage space, and not much cargo space.
