There are cool cars, efficient cars, and affordable cars, and often you can only choose two. Then there's Mazda…which is a combination of all three of those things so you'll never have to compromise! In fact, Mazda has recently won a slew of spots in Kelley Blue Book's (KBB) coveted "Best of 2016" lists, honoring everything from Mazda's affordable pricing, excellent design, and overall fun factor behind the wheel.
It’s good to be the best, and it’s especially good when everyone knows it.

Not only is it being considered for Overall World Car of the Year, the 2016 MX-5 Miata is also a finalist for the 2016 World Car Design of the Year, where it will compete against another Mazda model, the 2016 CX-3.
