Fuel-efficient for a roadster, this fourth-generation Miata provides fun gear-shifting, precise steering and good back-road handling. However, the cabin is small and the seats are unsupportive, which become noticeable on a long highway drive.

Price range: $26,255-$26,975
The sibling to the Subaru BRZ, the 86 offers some of the same features: precise handling, good cornering and supportive seats. Similarly, the interior is basic and the stiff ride is noisy.
