It's been around for well over 30 years, and in that time, the Mazda MX-5 has become by far and away the world's best-selling two-seater sports car. Why? Two reasons. Firstly, it's light which makes it both enormous fun to drive and affordable to run. Secondly, it's affordable. Quite simply, any other sports car that delivers even a fraction of the fun an MX-5 can will cost you (as near as makes no difference) twice as much.
That being the case, time is running out for cars like the MX-5. The relentless march toward total electrification mean that both lightness and affordability will become increasingly difficult to serve up in the future. Let's hope we're not marching towards a future without fun.
In this CarGurus UK video, Rebecca Jackson takes a look at all the things that have made the MX-5 such a runaway success over the years, and in the process, looks at the latest car's quality, practicality, technology, value for money, and of course, what it's like to drive.

The CarGurus verdict
If you want a two-seater sports car that you can enjoy immensely on a daily basis without scaring yourself silly and spending a fortune to buy it and run it, the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 has much to offer. Point-to-point it’s far faster than its specification suggests it should be, it can be equally entertaining at low speeds as it is at high ones, and it doesn’t demand that you be an expert behind the wheel to get a great deal of driving thrills out of it.
Sure, it’s a bit cramped in the cabin for tall folk and you won’t get much in the boot, but as well as being entertaining to drive it’s reliable and cheap to run. This is a sports car that’s in tune with modern road conditions where huge horsepower simply leads to driving frustration: the MX-5 mk4 uses a little to do a lot, and is all the more rewarding because for it.
Pros
Irresistibly fun to drive
Extremely reliable
Affordable to buy and run for a sports car
Cons
A bit cramped for tall drivers
Early cars have less safety kit than later models
The boot is small
