Auto Express names the all-new Mazda MX-5 Roadster of the Year 2016

“No car embodies the spirit of a roadster better than the all-new Mazda MX-5. With its nimble rear-wheel-drive handling, compact dimensions, an eye-catching price tag and simple fabric top, it delivers wind-in-the-hair thrills to the masses.”

The all-new Mazda MX-5 has been credited with yet another title this week to add to its growing list of commendations, as Auto Express name it Roadster of the Year 2016; beating the Jaguar F-Type and Porche 718 Boxster to the top spot. The fourth generation of the iconic Mazda MX-5 has continued to wow since its release, due to its extraordinary lightweight body, elegant curves and impressive performance, so unsurprisingly Auto Express have nothing but admiration:

“It’s through a series of corners that the Mazda really comes into its own. With its light and precise steering, beautifully balanced chassis and skinny tyres, the Mazda MX-5’s engaging handling can be enjoyed and exploited at any speed”.

“Thanks to Mazda’s SkyActiv technology, this fourth-generation model weighs around 100kg less than its predecessor, meaning it feels faster and more agile than ever.”

“The curves and creases of the bodywork fit perfectly over the mechanicals, giving the car a taut and neatly proportioned stance.”

“Inside, the mix of slick design and good-quality materials gives the Mazda a surprisingly upmarket appearance. But this premium appeal won’t leave big dents in your wallet.”
