Totally remodelled in 2016, the fifth-generation MX-5 remains just as small—and as desirable—as ever. The standard six-speed manual gearbox can be replaced by an automatic with manual mode and wheel-mounted shift paddles. The Sport Package adds Recaro seats, Brembo brakes and 17-inch BBS rims. The headliner this year is the RF (Retractable Fastback) with a three-section hardtop that retracts in 13 seconds.
