You won’t catch us knocking the Mazda Miata – we’re on record naming the MX-5 as the most fun you can have in a new car for the price. But, those words come up a lot when talking about the Miata, don’t they? For the price. The Miata starts at just $29,530 for the 2025 model year, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a gearhead willing to complain about that price for a 181-horse roadster with a six-speed manual transmission.
