Why it stands out

The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a no-frills sports car that refuses to grow old. It remains a rear-wheel-drive, two-seat convertible, and Mazda offers it with either a soft top or a hard top. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, which reinforces its driver-focused character and helps set it apart from more practical roadsters.

What makes the MX-5 Miata distinctive is how clearly it prioritizes driving enjoyment over everyday utility. The car is described as rewarding drivers with precise handling, and its appeal is strongest in the corners rather than in straight-line speed. It also has a stylish design and is fun to drive, but buyers should expect compromises: the interior is cramped, cargo space is limited, and the technology can be hard to use.
