Over three decades of Miata refinement have resulted in the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata, an affordable sports car that embodies the definition of driving joy. This classic soft-top roadster offers speedy acceleration, responsive handling, and iconic style for the ultimate sporty driving experience.
6 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata
1. Athletic Power and Handling
All MX-5 Miata models are powered by an eager, naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter provides direct, easy gear changes, and the optional automatic transmission also offers impressively quick shifts. Rear-wheel drive is standard across the lineup, and Kinematic Posture Control helps the rear suspension and brakes suppress body roll while cornering.
2. Convertible Top
The MX-5 Miata comes with a black cloth convertible top, which adds to its striking style whether open or closed. With the top down, you can enjoy the breeze and sunlight on your face while you become one with the outdoors. The RF models feature an equally attractive power-folding hardtop design.
3. Sporty Interior Convenience
The cozy cabin includes two black cloth-trimmed bucket seats with integrated headrests, reclining and forward/back adjustments, and a seat tilt adjustment for the driver. The three-spoke steering wheel, shift knob, and parking brake handle are wrapped in luxurious leather. Padded armrests and a footrest for the driver further enhance comfort, and air conditioning keeps you cool when it’s too hot outside to put the top down. The Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry System is also standard for your convenience.
4. Flexible Small-Item Storage
Two cupholders can be placed in different spots or removed completely, and there’s a locking rear center console to securely stow your personal items.
5. Mazda Connect Infotainment System
A standard 8.8-inch full-color center display sits atop the dash and delivers the Mazda Connect infotainment system, which includes hard buttons, Multifunction Commander control, and voice command for intuitive operation. The six-speaker sound system includes driver’s side headrest speakers for an immersive listening experience, and HD Radio expands your audio entertainment options.
6. Seamless Connectivity
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are standard, and Alexa Built-in lets you access maps, music, and more with just your voice. The text message audio delivery and reply feature allows you to send and receive messages while safely keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
With so many incredible sporty features, it’s no surprise the MX-5 Miata has earned a 10/10 rating and a spot on Car and Driver’s Editor’s Choice list for 2025.
