If you desire a 2-seat roadster with the charm of an old British MG, plus the reliability and modern conveniences of, well, a Mazda, look no further than the 2015 Miata. That this convertible starts under $25,000 only adds to its appeal.
The Miata’s small exterior size hides no interior lies: Space is sparse for cargo and people. Convertible versions of the Volkswagen Beetle, Ford Mustang and Mini Cooper offer two rear seats that at least hold groceries. Miata enthusiasts desiring fresh a design and features may want to wait for the coming all-new model.
