In the world of sports cars, Mazda's MX5 Miata has always been a beacon of driving purity. However, the Throttle House team delves into the 2024 model, questioning Mazda's choice of bland color options and the lack of exciting hues that enthusiasts crave. Despite the absence of vibrant colors, the MX5 Miata retains its signature 181 horsepower engine, known for its high revving capabilities and engaging manual shifter. The unchanged steering feel may disappoint some, but the minor tweaks to the steering rack aim to enhance precision and on-center feel, though the difference may not be immediately noticeable on the road.
Moreover, the handling improvements with differential adjustments address the previous model's tendency to lose the rear end in spirited driving scenarios, providing a more stable and predictable driving experience. While the driving feel changes may be subtle, the new Arrow gray color option adds a touch of sophistication to the MX5 Miata's exterior design, complemented by updated headlights and tail lights. Inside, the team explores the revamped touchscreen and electronics, including the addition of a USBC port and enhanced gauge cluster, offering a more modern and user-friendly experience for drivers.
Furthermore, the removal of the annoying lane departure warning light and the improved interior materials showcase Mazda's attention to detail in refining the MX5 Miata for the 2024 model year. Despite the absence of a glove compartment and some minor critiques on the wind blocker design, the team expresses overall satisfaction with the MX5 Miata's driving dynamics and driving experience. Whether debating between soft tops and retractable hardtops or appreciating the MX5 Miata's unique handling characteristics, one thing remains clear: Mazda's iconic roadster continues to deliver a pure and enjoyable driving experience for enthusiasts around the world.
