Mazda MX-5
The all-new 2016 MX-5 redefines the term “sports car.” Going back to its roots, the pretty roadster sheds a good 100 kilos, plus its heavy rigid convertible roof option. A new 155-horsepower SKYACTIV 2-litre mill resides under the aluminum hood, paired to a wrist-pleasing 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic with manual mode. Available in GX, GS or GT trims, this modern tribute to classic English roadsters can be personalized at will with options like a limited-slip differential.
