Mazda MX-5
The fourth generation of the MX-5 continues with no major changes for 2022. It’s a lightweight and agile little roadster that barely weighs over 1,000 kilograms. Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine putting out 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. There are two variants to choose from, one with a traditional soft top and another with a retractable hard top. The latter opens or closes in just 13 seconds.
