Mazda’s record selling MX-5 roadster gets a gentle refresh for 2010, but thankfully leaves the fundamentals alone. First and foremost is the new face that better reflects Mazda’s styling direction. The interior answers some ergonomic questions the previous versions kept hanging... Power comes from a 167-hp 2.0-litre four-cylinder with either a fantastic six-speed manual or a new six-speed automatic. The Power Retractable Hard Top continues as an option on mid-priced GS models.

Pros

Most flattering car to drive

Cons

Where’s the Mazdaspeed version?
