Reviews SummaryRepresenting the point at which value, performance, engineering, and design intersect on the sports-car continuum, the redesigned 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is more than a perfect example of why driving still matters. As it has for decades, the new Miata demonstrates that it is not necessary to spend a large amount of money in order to own one of the world’s great automobiles. The new Miata isn’t flawless, but once the top is down and you’re rowing through the gears, you’re unlikely to care. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2015 Scion FR-S is a true sports car, easily putting a big fat grin on your face as you’re taking a corner on your favorite twisty road. But its lack of practicality means either that you don’t have any kids or that you also own a different vehicle that's more suitable for the real world. | |
