Mazda MX-5
Beneath its taut, compact styling, the MX-5 has one of the most agile chassis around, with a terrifically responsive front end that darts in to corners. Softly sprung suspension ensures the ride is comfortable, while the combination of a lightweight body and super-efficient engines means the MX-5 costs peanuts to run. Best of all, the simple manual soft-top roof can be flipped up and down in seconds. Our pick 2.0 Sport Nav+
