1995 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review (continued)

Summary

Despite the high smiles-per-mile ratio of the Mazda Miata, it is not a practical choice as a primary vehicle for those who live in 4-season climates. Even with the optional hardtop in place, the small cabin would not be a pleasant place to spend four or five cold, snowy months. Likewise, the miata's low weight and rear-drive layout would likely conspire to make winter driving an exercise in precision and car control.

By any measure, though, the Miata is fun incarnate. It makes a wonderful companion on all but the bumpiest of roads. And most important, when the top comes off, the weight of the world goes with it.
