The roadster formerly known as the Miata returns to the 10Best winners’, circle for the second straight year, its eighth trophy since Mazda modernized the concept of the affordable droptop sports car in 1990. The Miata (Mazda still uses the name unofficially) made its latest 10Best comeback last year with a top-tobottomredesign, the car’s first complete makeover. It has a new unibody, new skin, a new interior, a new powertrain—new everything. In the process, the MX-5 lost its leastexpensive-roadster title to the PontiacSolstice but prevailed on the basis of its all-around goodness: It’s quicker, more agile, more refined, quieter, roomier, more comfortable, better-looking. Given all that, you might not expect much in the way of MX-5 news for 2007, but midway through 2006, Mazda rolled out a Miata with a folding hardtop. Undo the latch, press the button, and 12 seconds later the top is stowed behind the seats, with no trunk-capacity consequences. It’s remarkable, and so is the pricing, which, at just under $25,000 for starters, makes it the least expensive hardtop convertible in the U.S. That’s a title worth having.
