Overview

The MX-5 is the sports car that refused to get fat. Fourth generation, still around a tonne, still a manual, still the car you grin in at 60 km/h. The 2.0 is the one with enough engine to match the chassis.

Powertrain

Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre

The steering is the curriculum. Everything taught in a 911 is available here at a third of the speed and a fifth of the price. It is not slow. It is correctly powered.

Design

A cabin that fits like a jacket, headlights that quote the first generation without a wink, and a rear that looks like it is leaving. Jinba ittai as industrial design.

The most important sports car still in production. If you only ever own one, own this.
