If brutal winters make owning a soft-top car a nightmare, the 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s new retractable hardtop is a dream come true. The MX-5’s excellent fuel economy makes it a viable commuter car for those looking to leave their gas-thirsty SUVs at home. Driving enthusiasts and sports car club members love its wonderful handling and overall nimble performance.
If you’re long of leg or over six feet in height, the MX-5 Miata can still present you with a cramped driving position. The MX-5 has a small trunk and does not offer much in the way of interior storage space. If this is going to be your only mode of transport, you’re not going to win many friends when it’s your turn to drive the co-workers to lunch.
