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 equipmentEntry-level Prime-Line has everything you’d need, including the all-important heated seats necessary for driving with the roof down in cold weather. You also get sat-nav as standard, along with cruise control and 16in alloy wheels. It's our pick of the range – although you'll need to stick with the smaller engine to get it.
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.
