In response to buyers wanting more bite from their MX-5s, Mazda has released a new version of its two-seat sports car with a 182 horsepower, 2.0-litre engine. Chris Knapman from CarGurus finds out if it's now the pick of the range.

Pros
Irresistibly fun to drive
Extremely reliable
Affordable to buy and run for a sports car

Cons
A bit cramped for tall drivers
Early cars have less safety kit than later models
The boot is small

The CarGurus verdict
If you want a two-seater sports car that you can enjoy immensely on a daily basis without scaring yourself silly and spending a fortune to buy it and run it, the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 has much to offer. Point-to-point it’s far faster than its specification suggests it should be, it can be equally entertaining at low speeds as it is at high ones, and it doesn’t demand that you be an expert behind the wheel to get a great deal of driving thrills out of it.

Sure, it’s a bit cramped in the cabin for tall folk and you won’t get much in the boot, but as well as being entertaining to drive it’s reliable and cheap to run. This is a sports car that’s in tune with modern road conditions where huge horsepower simply leads to driving frustration: the MX-5 mk4 uses a little to do a lot, and is all the more rewarding because for it.
