A $45,000 Sticker Now Rides on Mazda's Once-Modest Roadster

· 1 min read

Mazda's MX-5 Miata, optioned with a folding hardtop and a well-finished cabin, now carries a price tag of $45,000. The build shows real craft in its interior appointments and top mechanism, the kind of detail collectors notice even on a car built for driving rather than display. Whether that figure still matches what a Miata is meant to deliver is the question the specialty press is now asking.

With reporting from The Drive.
