Real MPG: Mazda MX-5 (2015 on)

An utter hoot to drive thanks to its great handling. Lighter, 1.5-litre versions feel best, while the 2.0-litre's extra performance is welcome. Well-equipped for the money.

Even for a two-seater, it's very snug inside. Technology nows looks dated but works well. How much longer will it remain on sale?
