CarTell take
We haven't driven the MX-5 yet. On paper, new 8.8-inch Mazda Connect arrives with the MY26 update, with wireless smartphone mirroring on GT grades.
Why consider it
- 1,058 kg dry, the lightest sports car on sale in Australia.
- 2.0L NA Skyactiv revving to 7,500 rpm, no turbo lag, and a genuine choice between soft-top Roadster and RF targa.
What to know
- 130 L boot is genuinely small, the cabin is tight for anyone over 190 cm, and the ANCAP 5-star rating dates to 2016 under the older protocol.
Who it suits
Driving enthusiasts, weekend cruisers and empty-nesters who want a light, RWD, naturally aspirated two-seater. The Roadster G20 manual is the purist pick.
