About the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The fourth-generation MX-5 represents Mazda's return to the original Miata's lightweight philosophy after the bloated NC generation. At just 2,332 pounds, the ND recaptures the pure driving essence that made the NA legendary. The naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter Skyactiv engine produces 181 horsepower, but it's the sublime chassis balance and telepathic steering that matter most. Mazda's engineers obsessed over every ounce, using aluminum extensively and optimizing the 50/50 weight distribution that defines proper sports cars. The manual transmission remains a benchmark for precision and feel. While modern MX-5s lack the investment potential of early NAs, clean examples with low miles are already showing appreciation. The ND proves that analog driving pleasure can survive in the digital age, making it a future classic for purists who understand that horsepower numbers don't tell the whole story.
