No, it doesn't have an obscenely powerful 12-cylinder engine, its top speed doesn't eclipse 200 mph and it's not wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon-fiber bodywork.

Sure, [/roadshow/reviews/2020-lamborghini-aventador-svj-roadster-preview/ Lamborghinis] are nice, but they aren't as pure as the humble Miata. Even [/pictures/2020-acura-nsx-road-trip/ Acura's NSX], which in its current form is rocket-fast and extremely capable, falls short of the simple joy this Mazda can deliver. If dynamics are a top priority, dollar for dollar, this car can't be beat. <br><br>I absolutely adore how the Miata drives. It's so natural, direct and intuitive. It feels more like an extension of your body than your own right arm. The interaction between its clutch, accelerator and shifter deliver this unparalleled connectedness. The leftmost pedal is nicely weighted, being neither too heavy nor feather-light, plus it has a broad engagement range, which makes my midlevel Club test car effortless to drive.
