Mazda MX-5

Price $31,900 – $42,300
Fuel consumption 6.8 – 9.1 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 87%(view ratings)
Totally remodelled in 2016, the fifth-generation MX-5 remains just as small—and as desirable—as ever. The standard six-speed manual gearbox can be replaced by an automatic with manual mode and wheel-mounted shift paddles. The Sport Package adds Recaro seats, Brembo brakes and 17-inch BBS rims. The headliner this year is the RF (Retractable Fastback) with a three-section hardtop that retracts in 13 seconds.
