Five-Point Inspection: 2014 Mazda MX-5 Club

2. No Bluetooth

So is a Bluetooth cell phone connection. Again, it’s easy to bridge the gap Mazda left behind with a wireless headset, but do you really want to deal with that? People might think you’ve time traveled from 2005.

With the ponderous NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration) talking seriously about mandating rear-view cameras, it’s disappointing that Mazda never added wireless phone connectivity when cars that cost literally half of what the MX-5 does are equipped to help you answer calls safely.
