The Miata finished third, behind only the Audi R8 ($118,000 and the
Porsche Cayman S PDK ($67,355).
'[Randy Pobst] "Mazda deserves a medal for this car. They have done such
a great job. The MX-5 really is one of the finest driver's cars here
today." He wasn't the only one with those thoughts. "The Miata is
sheetmetal proof that test-track numbers alone can't pick a great
driver's car. It's far, far better than mere digits could ever convey,"
declares St. Antoine.'
Funnily enough, they didn't even bother to include a Hyundai in the test.
But what would guys like Randy Pobst...
