  • Comfort (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    While comfortable for short drives, the Miata's compact size and firm ride can become tiresome on longer journeys. Seat support is good, but cabin space is limited.
  • Dynamics (5)
    5 out of 5 stars
    The MX-5 Miata remains the benchmark for affordable sports car handling. Its lightweight chassis, precise steering, and balanced suspension provide an exhilarating driving experience on twisty roads.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The fourth generation (ND) Mazda MX-5 Miata, introduced in 2016, reasserted the Miata's legendary status as the quintessential affordable sports car. Building upon decades of refinement, the ND Miata delivered a lighter, more agile, and more engaging driving experience than ever before. It was a return to form, focusing on the core tenets of "Jinba Ittai" – the unity of horse and rider – that have defined the Miata since its inception.

Highlights

  • Engine: At the heart of the 2016 Miata lies a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder engine. This powerplant, while not boasting overwhelming horsepower figures, is celebrated for its rev-happy nature and responsive throttle. It produces 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque, perfectly balanced to provide spirited acceleration without being intimidating. The engine's character is a key component of the Miata's charm, encouraging drivers to explore its upper rev ranges.
  • Safety Features:
    • Advanced Airbag System: The 2016 Miata is equipped with a comprehensive suite of airbags, including front, side-impact, and knee airbags for both driver and passenger, providing crucial protection in the event of a collision.
    • Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS): These electronic systems work in tandem to prevent skids and loss of control by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels and reducing engine power when slippage is detected. This enhances safety, especially during spirited driving or in adverse conditions.
    • Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): ABS prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control and reduce stopping distances.
    • Available i-ACTIVSENSE™ Safety Technologies (higher trims): Depending on the trim level, the Miata could be equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems such as:
      • Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): Alerts the driver to vehicles in their blind spots, reducing the risk of lane-change accidents.
      • Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA): Warns the driver of approaching traffic when backing out of a parking space.
  • Trim Summary: The 2016 MX-5 Miata was offered in three distinct trims, each offering a progressively more refined and feature-rich experience:
    • Sport: The entry-level trim, offering the essential Miata driving experience with a focus on lightweight design and pure performance. It typically included manual climate control, power windows, and a basic audio system.
    • Club: Stepping up, the Club trim added sportier enhancements such as a limited-slip differential (on manual transmission models), Bilstein shock absorbers for improved handling, a front shock tower brace, and a sport-tuned suspension. It often featured exterior cosmetic enhancements like unique wheels and red exterior accents.
    • Grand Touring: The most luxurious option, the Grand Touring trim prioritized comfort and refinement. It included leather-trimmed seats, automatic climate control, advanced keyless entry, premium audio system, and often featured amenities like heated seats and advanced safety features.
  • Other Notable Aspects:
    • Lightweight Construction: A hallmark of the Miata, the 2016 model underwent significant weight reduction through the use of high-strength steel and aluminum, resulting in a curb weight of around 2,300 pounds. This contributes directly to its agility and engaging feel.
    • Exceptional Handling: The precise steering, balanced chassis, and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution make the ND Miata a joy to drive on winding roads. It’s renowned for its telepathic responsiveness and predictable, confidence-inspiring behavior.
    • Simple, Retractable Soft Top: The manual soft top is famously easy to operate, allowing for a quick open-air experience with just a flick of the wrist. This unadulterated connection to the environment is a core part of the Miata's appeal.

What to Expect

Owning a 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is typically a rewarding experience for those who prioritize driving enjoyment. The typical ownership experience is characterized by:

  • Driving Engagement: Expect a visceral and connected driving experience. The steering is direct and communicative, the manual transmission (if chosen) is a joy to shift, and the car feels incredibly nimble and eager to change direction. It’s a car that encourages spirited driving and makes even mundane commutes feel more exciting.
  • Reliability: Mazda has a strong reputation for reliability, and the 2016 Miata generally follows this trend. Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, filter replacements, and brake checks, will be standard. Owners should expect to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule to keep the car in top condition.
  • Maintenance Costs: Maintenance costs are generally reasonable for a sports car. Standard services will be comparable to other compact cars. However, as with any performance-oriented vehicle, wear items like tires and brakes might need replacement more frequently depending on driving style.
  • Insurance: Insurance premiums can vary significantly based on location, driving record, and coverage. As a two-seater sports car with a relatively modest engine, insurance might be more expensive than for a typical compact sedan, but likely less than for higher-performance or luxury sports cars. It’s always advisable to get insurance quotes before purchasing.

Potential Considerations

While the 2016 MX-5 Miata is a highly desirable vehicle, potential buyers should be aware of a few aspects:

  • Limited Cargo Space: The Miata is not designed for practicality. The trunk space is quite small, only accommodating a few grocery bags or a weekend duffel bag. This makes it less ideal for long road trips with significant luggage or for carrying larger items.
  • Interior Space: As a two-seater, interior space is naturally limited. Taller drivers or passengers might find headroom and legroom to be snug, especially with the top up. The cabin can also feel a bit cramped for those accustomed to larger vehicles.
  • Road Noise: With its lightweight construction and focus on driving feel, the Miata can be more susceptible to road noise intrusion into the cabin, particularly on rougher surfaces. This is a trade-off for its engaging and connected driving experience.
  • No All-Wheel Drive: The Miata is exclusively rear-wheel drive. While this contributes to its balanced handling, it means the car is not ideal for drivers living in areas with heavy snowfall or unpredictable icy conditions without appropriate winter tires.

Overall Summary

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a triumphant return to the roots of what makes the Miata so special. It offers an unparalleled combination of accessible performance, engaging handling, and open-top exhilaration in a lightweight and stylish package. While it prioritizes driving fun over practicality, its legendary reliability and the sheer joy it provides behind the wheel make it a compelling choice for anyone seeking a pure, unadulterated sports car experience. It remains a benchmark for affordable driver's cars.
