Mazda MX-5
Mazda’s iconic roadster celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, and the current version is the most refined yet. Its ride remains unmatched, its 167-hp four-cylinder is more than up to the task, its six-speed manual transmission handles flawlessly, and it’s one of the most affordable convertibles on the market. The current generation will soon be replaced, but it remains the undisputed champion for those who love the feel of the wind through their hair.
