Why we love the Mazda MX-5
As the world’s best-selling two-seater sports car, the MX-5 certainly needs no introduction. But we’ll give you one anyway…
Arriving in the UK in 1990, the MX-5 took the motoring world by storm as an exciting and affordable sports car. Since then, it’s remained an appealing choice for many drivers and has even won a few awards.
In a nutshell, the MX-5 stands strong as a thrilling roadster with agile handling and an eye-catching design that is equally functional.
It is a Mazda car, after all.
Convertibles aren’t just for weekends
Compared to the larger Mazda CX-5, the MX-5 might not be the obvious choice for a daily driver. And there’s no denying that it’s not the most practical in terms of storage or seating.
However, if you only need a car for two people, or you’re in a position to buy a second car, the MX-5 offers excellent value for money:
- Compact size is ideal for busy streets
- Easy to park
- Good acceleration on the motorway
- Bluetooth connectivity for on-the-go entertainment
- Choice of two engines with an average of 40 mpg
For such an unbeatable deal, why wouldn’t you want a convertible as your everyday car? Pop to the shops or drive to work in style.

Small but mighty: The MX-5 delivers on looks and performance
With so many cars on the road, it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. But not for the Mazda MX-5…
Thanks to its dinky size and classic roadster styling, complete with Mazda’s signature grille design, it’s a true head-turner. You can nip in and out of traffic with ease, all while enjoying the glances of passers-by. Just as iconic as the MINI Convertible, but much more thrilling behind the wheel.
Then there’s the drive quality. Combining lightness with a slick manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, the MX-5 is often described as the ultimate sports car.
That’s not to say that you need to be an exceptional driver to handle it. In fact, this convertible is very easy to live with - offering a comfortable interior and decent fuel efficiency. Its agility makes it suitable for driving around town, with the bonus of an open-top experience on a sunny day.
Your questions answered
How safe is the Mazda MX-5?
As of 2015, the MX-5 scored four stars in the Euro NCAP safety rating. It’s also renowned for being a reliable and robust car, so you shouldn’t have any major issues on the road (as long as it’s been looked after previously).
Although not necessarily a family car, this two-seater is suitable for both adults and children. Plus, the fourth-generation model comes equipped with ISOFIX child seat mounts, allowing you to drive your youngster around safely.
Remember: When travelling with a child seat in the front, you must always disable the passenger airbag.
How does the Mazda MX-5 compare to competitors?
In a relatively small class, the MX-5 and the Fiat 124 Spider hold their own. And because they share similar components and are both reasonably priced, choosing between them can be tricky.
In terms of luxury, the Fiat sightly overtakes the Mazda - with its Italian flair and high-quality interior.
However, on the road, the MX-5 is way more engaging. Its responsive steering and lively spirit are hard to overlook, especially if you’re in the market for a sports car.
What is the difference between the Mazda MX-5 and the MX-5 RF?
The main difference is the type of convertible roof available. With the standard MX-5, you will have a soft-top roof that can be lowered in seconds - either manually or electrically, depending on the model. It’s also lighter.
In comparison, the RF comes with a retractable hardtop roof which can be operated by the push of a button.
Which one should you choose?
- If you value a lighter car with more of a traditional aesthetic, then opt for the Mazda MX-5.
- Alternatively, if you need a bit more versatility and everyday convenience, the RF version may be more appealing.
