MAZDA MX 5 2015 FULL REVIEW - CAR & DRIVING

Is there another car sold today that rivals the Mazda MX-5's legacy? The Porsche 911 is an icon and the Toyota GT86 might well become one. The Volkswagen Golf is a name most can identify with, but the MX-5 is special. It has rewritten the record books again and again for sports car sales and its recipe of light weight, driver focus and simple front engine/rear drive layout just has an inherent rightness about it that hasn't dated.
But, as is the case with most cars, successive generations get bigger and heavier. The MX-5 hasn't been immune to this issue, customers demanding improved safety, more equipment and better quality as each successive generation has been developed. With this MK4 model though, originally launched back in 2015, Mazda drew a line in the sand and went back to the light, tactile approach that made the MX-5 so great in the first place. Now the company's added a touch of extra power and technology to the equation.

I don’t know the presenters name but I think he does the best reviews and gives the detail you need. We’ve bought our last 3 cars off the back of his reviews and they’ve been perfect.

Lucky owner since 48h with 80 km and i'm already sold. Brillant concept overall. I'm 6'13'' and it's like fitting a glove. You just just drop down into it, but extraction is less fun. The tarp is light and dumb easy to use.

7:44 t"s funny how the audi TT slams the brakes thinking the camera is a speedgun.
