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. | |
