2009 Mazda MX-5
The once youthful shot in the proverbial Mazda arm Miata, is now the brands stalwart patriarch. Actually, rather than some sort of leap forward in technology or style, the original Miata was refreshingly old-school. It was inexpensive, but not cheap. Basic, but still comfortable. And fun and sporty, while still reliable. Most of those qualities could not be said of the old British roadsters that Mazda mimicked in inspiration for the Miata. So now at almost 20, does the 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata still provide sports car thrills that exceed its price tag?
