For more than 20 years, the MX-5 Miata has offered sports car enthusiasts a pure, simple, fun-focused roadster at an attainable price. Sticking to that simple formula has made the MX-5 the most popular two-seat convertible sports car in the world with more than 850,000 sold.
Substantially refreshed in 2009, the 2010 MX-5 receives minor updates such as a chrome strip on the door handles, and chrome bezels in the headlight clusters. The easy-to-lower-and-raise soft-top of the original Miata, and the 201…
The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) roadster has been with us for more than 20 years. And it’s better than ever, as editors Bob Gritzinger and Jon Wong explain.
According to U.K. magazine Autocar, the next-generation MX-5 will weigh as little as 2200 pounds when it arrives in 2012.

I took the 2010 MX-5 Miata to our top-secret track this morning to undergo our top-secret testing only known by our top-secret drivers, but not without my morning coffee.To get to said secret test facility, getting up earlier than my usual time means I must ensure my French-pressed Mocha Java Blend Coffee is ready to go when I’m done putting my face on for the day. Sure, I could have stopped along the way to pick up some Starbucks, but with a huge vacation trip in my near future, I’m trying to pinch penn…
