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. | |
Reviews SummaryIt’s true the 2023 Honda Accord doesn’t have all-wheel drive, a third-row seat, a big cargo area you can pack to the roof, or styling that suggests you live an adventurous lifestyle. If you want those things, spend thousands of dollars more for the Honda Pilot, which is less dynamic to drive and more expensive to own and operate. But, if you don’t need (or want) those things, consider the 11th generation 2023 Accord, which remains an excellent, if comparatively expensive, example of the traditional four-door family car. | |
