What is it? The MX-5 is the last of the small, lightweight roadsters, now in its fourth generation. I’ve taken a pre-Chrismas MX-5 refresher course, as my notes say it is two years since I’ve driven one. The car has hardly changed in that time – just a few minor tweaks to suspension and equipment levels – but that’s a good thing.
What does it cost? Roadster prices start at $39,060 for the base model. The GT is $45,690 and the GT RS, with a few enthusiast additions but no engine mods, is $48,690. In all cases, these prices are exclusive of on-road costs. Removeable hardtop variants are also available for about $4000 more.
