The Mazda MX-5 Miata is the ultimate weekend car

I'm an unapologetic Mazda MX-5 Miata fanboy.When I lived in Los Angeles, I owned onea first-generation classic, with flip-up headlightsand I loved taking it out for jaunts up the Pacific Coast Highway and runs through the canyons.As Mazda developed the car through subsequent generations, I thought it lost much of its essential roadster character and became more of sports car. But that all changed with the latest version of the peppy two-seater, the fourth iteration, which was unveiled in 2014.We got a crack at the car over the winter, which wasn't ideal. But even after a snowstorm and on winter tires, the new Miata was still a blast: I put the top down and cranked up the heater and the seat-heaters. The car has lost 220 lbs. and now feels more like my old Miata.The new Miata returned to my driveway recently and I got to take it on a proper autumn outing, in what for me is real roadster weather: when it's crisp and slightly chilly and a driving cap and maybe even some driving gloves make sense.You already know that I adore the new MX-5. Here's a closer look at why, this time with more pictures:SEE ALSO:The Mazda CX-3 is the cutest 'cute-ute' ' and the perfect first carIt wasn't exactly convertible roadster weather when we got our first crack at the new Miata.I made the best of it, however.The climate was more favorable the second time around.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
