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, and for good reason. Launched in 2015, it maintains the original MX-5's philosophy of being a lightweight, nimble two-seater sports car that prioritises driving enjoyment over practicality. The mk4 is roughly the same size and weight as the original 1996 model, a remarkable achievement given modern safety requirements. With a choice of 1.5-litre (129bhp) or 2.0-litre (181bhp from 2018) Skyactiv petrol engines, the MX-5 delivers spirited performance without excessive power, making it accessible and rewarding for drivers of all abilities.
The MX-5 mk4 excels in delivering point-to-point thrills whilst remaining practical for daily use. Its crisp steering, agile chassis, and smooth engines make it entertaining at any speed, whilst excellent fuel economy (40mpg-plus in real-world driving) and low running costs make ownership affordable. The manually operated soft-top is easy to use, and later models (2018 onwards) benefit from improved safety equipment including Front and Rear Smart City Brake Support and Lane Departure Warning. Whilst the cabin is tight for taller drivers and the 130-litre boot is modest, these compromises are inherent to the sports car formula and easily forgiven given the driving experience on offer.
Best for: Enthusiast drivers seeking an affordable, reliable sports car for daily enjoyment, those who value driving thrills over practicality, and buyers wanting excellent value in the two-seater roadster market.
Not ideal for: Tall drivers requiring spacious cabins, those needing significant luggage space, or buyers prioritising practicality over driving engagement.
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 | 29.3% | 4.3/5 |
| Fiat 500 Convertible | 3/5 | 4.6/5 | 42.5% | 4.2/5 |
| MINI Convertible | 4/5 | 4.6/5 | 32.7% | 4.4/5 |
| Mazda MX-5 Mk3 | 5/5 | 4.7/5 | 29.3% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the MX-5 if: You're an enthusiast driver seeking an affordable, reliable sports car for daily enjoyment, value driving thrills over practicality, or want excellent value in the two-seater roadster market.
Consider alternatives if: You require a spacious cabin for taller occupants, need significant luggage space, or prioritise practicality over driving engagement.
Competitive Position: The Mazda MX-5 mk4 (2015-present) stands as the superior choice amongst convertible roadsters, offering the highest expert rating (5/5) and matching user ratings with its rivals. Whilst the Fiat 500 Convertible offers better value deals (42.5%), it lacks the MX-5's driving dynamics and reliability. The MINI Convertible provides a higher overall CarGurus rating (4.4/5) but at greater cost. The older MX-5 mk3 matches the mk4's user rating and expert rating, yet the newer generation benefits from improved safety equipment, more powerful engines, and enhanced comfort features. For those prioritising driving enjoyment, reliability, and affordable sports car ownership, the MX-5 mk4 is the standout choice.
