ALISTAIR WEAVER: Sports cars should be

all about making you feel good.

Our Edmunds editor's choice for 2019

had a subtle refresh last year that made

a simple, trusted formula even more compelling.

It's the Mazda MX-5 Miata.

CARLOS LAGO: In a world of ever-quicker 0 to 60 times,

the refreshingly pure Mazda Miata

highlights the most important attribute of a sports car--

fun.

Miatas have always been available

with a clever and quick-folding soft top.

But the power-retractable hard top on this RF model

adds a measure of security and style.

Frankly, we'd take either roof.

ELANA SCHERR: The Miata remains as nimble as ever.

It's an automotive tiny dancer.

The updated and higher-revving 2-liter engine is delightful.

And the manual shifter is so good you'll change gears just

for the joy of it.

But the best thing about the Miata

is that unlike most high-performance sports cars,

it doesn't require a racetrack to do its thing.

You can have a blast in a Miata without risking your license.

JONATHAN ELFALAN: With prices starting just above $26,000,

it remains a good value.

And it's relatively inexpensive to upkeep, too.

Sure, there are faster, more complex sports cars.

But few, if any, are more fun.
