A driver's car with excellent all round handling. It doesn't have much storage space but that is not what it's designed for - and I knew that when I bought it. Luckily my wife has a Defender 90.

Fun days out in a car that was initially stripped back to the essentials. Later models come with some toys but it retains the ability to make you smile.

Mazda MX-5 (2015-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Irresistibly fun to drive | A bit cramped for tall drivers |
| Extremely reliable | Early cars have less safety kit than later models |
| Affordable to buy and run for a sports car | The boot is small |
Quick Summary
The Mazda MX-5 mk4 (2015-present) is the world's best-selling roadster, combining genuine sports car thrills with everyday practicality and affordability. Launched in 2015, this fourth-generation model maintains the original's compact dimensions and lightweight philosophy whilst meeting modern safety standards. The two-seater cabin is stylish and well-made, though tight on space for taller drivers. The 130-litre boot is modest, but the MX-5 prioritises driving experience over practicality, delivering lively performance with either a 1.5-litre (129bhp) or 2.0-litre (158-181bhp) Skyactiv petrol engine paired with a slick six-speed manual gearbox.
The MX-5 mk4 excels where it matters most: on the road. Crisp, accurate steering and an agile chassis deliver engaging handling, whilst the soft-top roof is easy to operate. Running costs are impressively low for a sports car, with real-world fuel economy exceeding 40mpg and annual road tax between £150 and £205. Servicing costs are reasonable, and the car is extremely reliable. Later models (2018 onwards) benefit from enhanced safety equipment including Front and Rear Smart City Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning, and optional Blind Spot Monitoring. This is a sports car that rewards enthusiast drivers without demanding expert skills or deep pockets.
Best for: Drivers seeking genuine sports car thrills on a budget, those who value reliability and low running costs, and enthusiasts who appreciate engaging, point-to-point driving without excessive power.
Not ideal for: Tall drivers requiring spacious cabins, those needing substantial boot space, or buyers prioritising practicality over driving enjoyment.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mazda MX-5 | 5/5 | 4.7/5 | 29.0% | 4.3/5 |
| Fiat 500 Convertible | 3/5 | 4.6/5 | 35.7% | 4.2/5 |
| MINI Convertible | 4/5 | 4.7/5 | 34.7% | 4.4/5 |
| Mazda MX-5 Mk3 | 5/5 | 4.7/5 | 29.0% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the MX-5 if: You seek genuine sports car thrills on a budget, value reliability and low running costs, or appreciate engaging driving without excessive power or complexity.
Consider alternatives if: You require a spacious cabin for taller occupants, need substantial boot space, or prioritise practicality over driving enjoyment.
Competitive Position: The Mazda MX-5 (2015-present) stands as the finest choice in the convertible sports car segment, delivering superior driving dynamics and reliability compared to rivals. Whilst the MINI Convertible offers slightly better value deals and the Fiat 500 Convertible provides more affordable entry, neither matches the MX-5's combination of engaging handling, real-world performance, and low running costs. The MX-5 mk4 also outperforms its predecessor (mk3) in safety equipment and refinement, making it the definitive modern roadster for enthusiasts seeking authentic sports car satisfaction without compromise.
