VIDEO: Mazda MX-5 Miata Test Drive

The original Mazda Miata started the trend toward small, affordable, two seat convertibles.

Once there were entries from Toyota, Honda and GM. Now, only the Miata remains, other than very high end entries from Mercedes and BMW.

Mazda has not only stuck with the vehicle they now call the MX-5, but have completely redone it for the 2016 model year.

WWJ AutoBeat Reporter Jeff Gilbert takes us for a spin in a car that can be very tight with the top up, but gloriously fun with the top down.
