So, it was on a sunny Easter weekend that we lowered the convertible top in the MX-5 and headed off for a drive. Sunglasses on, fresh air and the open road. Pity about the Easter traffic.

That’s what the MX-5 is all about.

The latest model now comes exclusively with the 2.0 litre engine, revised suspension settings and some cosmetic updates. There is also a choice between a 6-speed manual and automatic transmission.

Over the years it has grown a little, got a bit heavier and now has more safety, comfort and luxury features.

But the core of the MX-5 hasn’t changed since it was first released way back in 1989. The MX-5 is a two-seat rear wheel drive sports car. It’s all about driving fun and there possibly isn’t a better-balanced sports convertible around.

There are four models available, and we drove the MX-5 GT Convertible with black roof. It is priced from $54,892 plus the usual costs.

In a rapidly changing automotive world, sports cars like the Mazda MX-5 are special.

Also look at:

Sports Convertibles are rare, especially at this price range. So you have to look further afield to more conventional sports cars.

Buyers could look at Subaru BRZ,  Toyota GR Corolla, Subaru WRX, Honda Civic Type R, Audi S3, Toyota Supra,
