Japanese brand Mazda has a long history of building vehicles that thrill. Dating as far back as the Cosmo, Mazda sports cars have been stylish, lightweight, and compact machines that have stolen the limelight, not just for their style but for their various technological oddities and advancements and, most importantly, the way they drive.

FAQs

What is the best Mazda sports car?

There is only one nameplate in the range - the MX-5 Miata - but it is presented in a couple of configurations. The soft-top is the more popular of the two, though both have the same performance specs. These types of cars are not very practical, but Mazda ensures that all its vehicles feature impressive standard tech, for both safety and convenience.

What is the price of a new Mazda sports car?

The Miata is a relatively cheap way to get behind the wheel of a fun-to-drive vehicle. The base MX-5 Maita sells for less than $30,000, while the top trim goes for around $33k. The hard-top RF roadster is significantly more expensive at around $35,000 and can cost close to $40k in top trim.

What are the performance specs of the Mazda MX-5 Miata?

The 2-door sports car comes equipped with a 181-horsepower naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that enables a 0-60 mph sprint time in a little under six seconds and a top speed of 140 mph. It may not be the quickest or fastest vehicle in the world, but it more than makes up for this with the amazing driving feel it delivers.

Do Mazda sports cars return good mileage ratings?

It's hard to find a fast car with good fuel economy, but the Miata manages to return almost daily driver levels of efficiency. With the stick-shift equipped, the MX-5 Miata returns gas mileage figures of 26/34/29 mpg. Equip the auto, and those improve to 26/35/30 mpg. If Mazda decides to give future sports cars an electric powertrain, this will become less of an issue.
