MX-5 Miata in the Market

The Miata is one of those cars that we're happy to see enter the Cars.com garage and sad to see go because it reminds us how much fun driving can be. The fact that it's relatively affordable is just another thing in its favor.

Now that the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky have gone the way of their respective brands, the already small pool of small, fun, affordable roadsters has shrunk to one: the Miata. That might be cause for concern under different circumstances, but not in this case: The Miata is that well-executed.
