1996 mazda mx-5 miata Professional Edmunds Review

...You can drive it all day without carrying tools, Go Jo, or Doan's pills. The MX-5 Miata is truly a modern automotive miracle. For 1995, this sprightly convertible gets some revised option groups. Last year, Mazda added a passenger-side airbag, side-impact protection hardware, new alloy wheels and a bigger engine good for an extra 12 horsepower. Carried over from last year is the R-Package, which turns the Miata into a race-ready street machine with drivetrain and suspension modifications. Leather seats are still available, and a new color, Montego Blue, fleshes out the color chart, joining...

1994 Mazda Miata MX-5 Professional Cars.com Review

...Complaints: Despite its charms, the Miata is a noisy little car thatbounces you about and wears you out on any trip longer than 200 miles.Also, the car is heightist and weightist. That is, its interiordimensions discriminate against anyone who is tall or fat. Praise: The Miata gives a hoot of a commute, especially in mildweather when the hard top can come off and the soft top can stay down. Head-turning quotient: It's still every bit as pretty as it alwayswas. But, alas, people have grown accustomed to its face; they seldomlook at it with the passion that greeted its debut. Ride, acceleration...

Why should I also consider these?

There are essentially no other lightweight, relatively low-power roadsters left on the market, at least not in traditional front-engine, rear-drive layout.

The 2012 MINI Cooper Convertible offers somewhat similar performance, and is even more powerful in turbocharged form, however.

Nissan's 370Z is almost into grand touring size and performance, without the light, nimble feel of the MX-5, but with much more power and speed.

Porsche's Boxster is an excellent performer, and even better on the odd track day, but will cost about twice as much as the MX-5.

 
2012 Nissan 370Z
Performance per dollar, the 2012 Nissan 370Z is a bargain, and it's quick enough in absolute terms to reach toward the domain of much more expensive sports cars.
 
2012 Porsche Boxster
Stylish, fun, and capable, the 2012 Porsche Boxster is one of the best roadsters around.
 
2012 MINI Cooper Convertible
Part hatchback, part convertible, and all fun, the 2012 MINI Cooper Convertible is in a class by itself--literally.
