If there is a car that divide car enthusiasts from those that think of cars as appliance on wheels, it is most likely the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Often regarded as the purest form of automotive expression, the MX-5 has been with us for over 25 years, and now Mazda introduces us to the fourth generation version. Although it would be an understatement to say that the car lacks power, the two-seater roadster embodies the driving principle of slow car fast. The precise and satisfying handling has been a trademark of the Japanese sports car, which has much to do with its light weight. For this new generation the car loses 220 lbs over its predecessor, assuring even sharper handling. Styling is subjective and for some it may lack the charm of the previous generation cars, but with its 6-speed manual, rear wheel drive, open top motoring, it is destined to keep enthusiasts happy.
