When it comes to affordable roadsters, the 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a tough little convertible to beat. Though the overall size may be too small for some, the Lilliputian dimensions deliver big in the departments of steering and handling. The capable engine provides plenty of pep and serves to make the Miata one of the most enjoyable cars to drive on the road. New for the 2009 Mazda Miata is a freshened exterior design and a bolstered feature list. At a base price that comes in under $22,000, the fun driving experience of the Miata is well within the reach of most drivers.
