Reviews SummaryThis year, the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata gets new steering, a reworked limited-slip rear differential, and a DSC-Track setting that relaxes the traction and stability control systems. In addition, the 2024 Miata gets the latest Mazda Connect infotainment system with an Alexa digital assistant and several interior refinements. The front and rear headlights are new, redesigned 17-inch wheels debut, and new exterior and interior colors are available. However, to achieve perfection, we’d like more choices in configurations. Verdict: There isn’t a more elemental sports car than the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata. You can spend more money to get added power, performance, practicality, technology, luxury, cachet, and exclusivity, but if you’re looking for the equivalent of a street-legal go-kart, nothing on four wheels better defines a cheap thrill. | |
