Whether the Miata is gracefully carving corners or gliding down open highways, it was built for the road. KBB said the convertible could turn otherwise boring rides into 'pure joy' for its driver. The two-seater is perfect for a driver and a passenger who crave adventure.

The roadster is capable of handling long drives as well as quick commutes' however, its rich racing history acknowledges the vehicle's passion for speed and performance. Outfitted with a 2.0-liter, 167-horsepower gasoline engine, the compact convertible packs a powerful punch under the hood.

Earlier this year, KBB presented the Miata with its 'Total Cost of Ownership Award' in the sports car class. The convertible was revealed to have the smallest cost of ownership within its first years.

The Miata is no stranger to earning awards and recognition, but Mazda always strives to offer new and innovative ways to keep the vehicle relevant. The automaker continues to balance attainable luxury with a safe, yet dynamic performance.

Blue Ridge Mazda is home to Mazda in Lee's Summit, MO, and used cars in Lee's Summit, MO. To obtain a Mazda MX-5 Miata contact the dealership online or on-site.
