Mazda MX-5 (NC)

MX-5 Miata with the Power Retractable Hard Top, used, 2007 to 2015 model years The used-market route to a hardtop Miata for a fraction of an RF's price. Mazda offered the third-generation car with a folding hard roof that cost little: roughly 80 pounds extra and no lost trunk space. You get a solid, quieter cabin for freeway stretches and street parking, with the same light, playful handling. Inspect carefully before buying: run the roof up and down several times, and look for rust inside and in front of the rear wheel arches and at the ends of the sills, the known weak spots on these cars.
