The 1.5-litre doesn’t have the firepower of the larger unit, but it is lighter. This keeps the overall kerbweight down to just 1,015kg, which has benefits for performance, handling and economy. Mazda claims 8.3 seconds for the 0-62mph sprint, and on the road the MX-5 feels brisk rather than rapid. Yet thanks to the rasping exhaust note, a heady 7,500rpm red line and the snappy short-throw gearshift, it’s easy and fun to access the car’s full performance potential.

There’s even more enjoyment in corners, where the blend of quick steering and low weight allows the car to change direction with acrobatic agility. Better still, the controls fizz with feedback, while the rear-wheel-drive layout, sharp throttle response and skinny 195 section tyres enable you to subtly adjust the car’s line through a corner.
Yet there’s more to the MX-5 than just sparkling driving dynamics. Refinement has improved, while the supple suspension soaks up bumps and the manual hood can be raised and lowered with one hand in a matter of seconds. The only disappointment is the fact the boot has shrunk to 130 litres, down 20 litres on the last MX-5. But when a car’s this much fun, you’ll learn to travel light.
