2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh If a small sports car doesn't have spectacular handling, then what's the point of it? With their light weight, compact dimensions, balanced weight distribution, and skillful suspension tuning, Mazda MX-5 Miatas have been renowned for their handling. This said, the new Miata feels dramatically different than I expected it... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Mini Roadster |

2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Fully redesigned twice since 1989, the MX-5 Miata has gained a few inches and a couple hundred pounds. But with a length of 157 inches and a curb weight under 2,500, it remains much more compact and much lighter than its closest competitors. The Scion FR-S, with a barely there... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Scion FR-S |

2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata Pros and Cons Member255 Seems to turn on a pivot. Steering responds impeccably and intuitively to driver input. no surprises. Incredibly similar to Boxster in handling dynamics for half the price or less (though it does feel less weighty & powerful). VERY fun on winding roads. |
