Best Sports Car for the Money: Mazda MX-5 Miata

Twenty-six years after the debut of the first Miata, Mazda is introducing the fourth generation of the popular soft-top convertible. The new MX-5 hints at Mazda’s “soul of motion” design language, with its long hood, flowing sides and large wheels pushed out to the edges, even as it keeps the playful, classic look of the original.

“No matter what kind of car someone is looking for, a Honda is almost always a good choice.”
Honda’s luxury division, Acura, won two awards.
