The model
Read full Mazda MX-5 reviewThe Mazda MX-5 Roadster and MX-5 RF with the 1.5-litre engine and Prime-Line trim are terrific two-seaters for those that don’t want to spend a fortune. They're not as fast as more expensive sports cars, but with free-revving engines, a sweet gearbox and nimble handling, they’re well worth considering.
The trim
See full equipmentAvailable with either the 1.5 or 2.0-litre engines, Exclusive-Line gets useful extras such as rear parking sensors, automatic wipers, auto high-beam assist, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and automatic emergency braking. You also get leather trim and an uprated Bose sound system.
The engine
See full engine specsThis enjoyably revvy 130bhp 1.5-litre non-turbo engine is our pick of the line-up because it’s a fair bit cheaper than the 2.0-litre yet there's still plenty of fun to be had in driving it hard. It's only available with Prime-Line and Exclusive-Line trims.
