We recommend

All variants are really great but the Club version is the one that stands out with red Brembo brakes at the front, 17" BBS wheels and Recaro seat package along with some mechanical upgrades, but the BBS/Brembo package is not available with the Grand Touring. If you want to have the lightest Miata, then the base Club model is the one to consider.

Under the hood, the 2019 Mazda Miata MX-5 comes with a 2-L engine that generates a great amount of power when compared to the previous generation Miata. Mazda has done some minor refinements and tweaks to the motor. The engine takes more air and runs efficiently.

The Miata now churns 26 horses additionally under the hood, thus increasing the power output of the engine to 181 hp. Another big performance upgrade done by Mazda engineers is the increase in the rpm redline to 7500 rpm, a generous increase of 700-800 rpm from the previous generation.

When compared to its competitors, the Miata churns out more power and leaves its rivals in the dust. The engine sounds really lively and feels super fun to drive. Mazda has made the 2019 Miata a fun to drive. Further, it has provided an option between the 6-speed automatic or manual transmission. Both of these work like a charm. The manual transmission is slick and also a bit faster than the automatic one. The clutch pedal is well balanced.

Acceleration

The Miata has 26 extra horses under the hood that helps this car to pull ahead of its competitors. Whether on a quarter mile drag strip or a normal 0-60 stretch, the Miata leaves its competitors far behind and proves its prowess as a sports roadster.

The extra horses give a burst of power into the hands of the rider thereby making the ride full of thrill and fun.

Braking

The brake pedal on the new Miata is as firm as the previous generation had. The deceleration test gave a great number in favor of the Miata.

Given below are details of the same:

Rear Brake (in)	11	11	10
Curb Weight (lbs)	2339	2436	3239
60-0 MPH (ft)	112	N/A	N/A

The optional Brembo brakes deliver additional stopping power, giving the rider a little more control on the car and making the ride well balanced. The Brembo brakes come with street pads that will fade away in harsh usage.

Ride and Handling

The drive feels smooth and slick without any roughness. The Miata comes with a well-balanced telescopic steering wheel which helps the rider to adjust the wheel according to the needs and comfort.

The extra horses generated by Mazda gives a punch of power which makes the engine come alive. While on the street, the ride feels quick due to the lightweight chassis. The suspension handles all the bumps and corners easily while keeping the ride zippy. There is a slight over-steer if the rider gets a little aggressive on the throttle, which makes the ride even better.

Overall, the drive feels well-balanced.

While in the city, the 3 cars give the same mileage and while on the highway, the 124 Spider takes the lead, followed by the Miata and the Bug at last. The only place where VW wins is the tank capacity, where the bug takes the lead followed by the Miata and the 124 Spider sharing the 2nd place.

The interior quality finds some plastic highlights. Like other roadsters, the Miata's cabin is not so spacious and a 6-ft tall person might find some difficulty getting in. The cup holders are not that great and so is their position. A tiny glove box is present in between the seats.

The Miata has similar stats when compared to the 124 Spider. The bug grabs the first place with the highest numbers and also because of the availability of the second row. Also, the Bug has some extra features like Nappa leather front and rear seat upholstery with driver and passenger heated cushions which makes it a great car in terms of seating and interior. 

Infotainment

The infotainment of the Miata might feel obsolete due to the lack of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto availability, but Mazda has provided USB ports which make it simple and convenient to connect the phone without any hassle.

Mazda has also provided a 9-speaker Bose audio system in the headrests which makes the ride entertaining. The 7" touch panel provided by Mazda can be operated with a center-console knob as well.

Cargo space

The Miata has the least amount of cargo space among its rivals. Its cargo space is enough to accommodate only a couple of small bags.

The Bug has the highest amount of cargo space and takes the crown leaving out the other competitors in this segment.

The Miata is the lightest and smallest car among its rivals, yet the most powerful among its competitors, this is all due to its lightweight chassis and other mechanical upgrades made by the company. Mazda has made the new Miata lower by reducing its ground clearance to 4.9" from the previous generation that had 5.3" of ground clearance.

When the two classics are pitted against each other, the battle becomes worth watching. Both the classic Bug convertible and the Miata are quite popular and with these new launches, both the manufacturers have taken their rides to the next level.

The Miata is a fun-centric car with a hint of fun and thrill whereas the Bug focuses more on practicality with fun. Both cars are drop top but the Miata is more powerful than the Bug and gives more meaning to the money spent.

There is a common notion that fun and practicality can't go hand-in-hand and Mazda took this as a challenge and proved this notion wrong. The Miata is the perfect combination of both power and fun, from its powerful little motor churning out a huge amount of power to the stability of the body and the drop-top,

When the price tag is taken into account, the classic bug proves to be the costliest decision among the cars. Between the Miata and the 124 spider, both of these have many similarities yet they are different when it comes to their heart, so the choice rests in the hands of the buyer. Miata is for the ones who are really on a tight budget but want some serious fun.
