This is the unlikely success story of the Mazda MX-5 Miata: the world's bestselling 2-seat roadster and the only remaining true lightweight sports car.

It almost never happened in the first place. Had its makers listened to the experts, it never would have happened. And if Mazda listened to its own customers, it would have never succeeded.

I had a 6’ plus friend who bought a first production model Miata when they came out. He had to fold himself into it, but it was probably his favorite car he ever owned. There’s just something ridiculously fun about those cars.
