Well, that’s fine. You waste your money on a Mustang or a Ferrari. The fact is that if you want a sports car, the MX-5 is perfect. Nothing on the road will give you better value. Nothing will give you so much fun. The only reason I’m giving it five stars is because I can’t give it 14.

Image = nonsense.

Now don't turn around and blow it with the Vauxhall.

Well, $4500 is probably close enough. That's what you'll get if you trade in a lot of larger SUV's, because the Miata's EPA mileage, though not as good as some econoboxes, is far better than most larger SUV's. To get the $4500, there has to be a 10 MPG difference; for $3500, 4 MPG.
