The Mazda MX-5 needs no introduction. Since we’re obliged to provide one anyway, we’ll cover the basic facts.
It is one of the longest-standing sports cars, dating back to 1989 when the first ever version was unveiled in Chicago.
It has succeeded beyond Mazda’s wildest dreams, spawning four generations and many updates to become one of the most highly regarded convertibles.
Why?
Well, the MX-5's raw simplicity has made it so popular. Mazda isn't stuck in the past - the rapid development of technology over the last 35 years has found its way into the car.
However, the MX-5's essence is in its sheer basics: affordability, fun, and its excellent driving manner. Add good reliability to all that, and when you consider how much more expensive the alternatives are, it's little wonder the MX-5 is so popular.
Now, the latest iteration of the fourth-generation car is here. But has the recipe gone stale after three-and-a-half decades – and in a world where combustion-engined sports cars are becoming increasingly rare? We are about to find out.
