Jeremy Clarkson is one of the more well-known celebrities of the car world, thanks to his leading role in the show Top Gear. This BBC program was a hit in Britain and all across the world thanks to its witty humor and charismatic hosts like Clarkson. Along with his TV fame, he also is a highly respected car authority and has a regular column in The Sunday Times. He recently published his list of the top 10 vehicles of 2016 that are more than just a way to get from point A to point B, and the MX-5 Miata made the cut.

 

A car should definitely be more than just a method of transportation or a tool you are using; it should be an extension of yourself onto the road, and the drive should be fun and exciting. Clarkson writes, “To be more than just a tool, a car must make your spine tingle, your eyes pop and your heart race,” and that is exactly what the #MX-5 Miata inspires in every driver. This roadster with a modern design is one of the premiere sport cars of this year, and has won several awards for its design and exhilarating driving experience.

 

 

So how exactly did the Miata earn its spot on this esteemed list? Most notably, its low price and simple to use interface makes it a great choice for new sports car drivers, and it still packs the power to accelerate quickly and smoothly. As Clarkson mentions, “It’s so organic and raw and simple, it feels how a sports car should. It sings and fizzes and jumps about. It always feels eager and sprightly, and that makes you feel eager and sprightly too.”

 

The Mazda Miata will be receiving an all new fastback for the 2017 model year, and you can find the best deals on it at Cardinale Mazda in Salinas. You can also view all our new models online, like the Mazda CX-3, at www.cardinalemazda.com.
