Steering in the Mazdaspeed MX-5 is sensational. Not only is it direct and precise, but weighted nicely as well. It’s not too heavy, not too soft, just the perfect blend of effort and feedback. Response is instantaneous. A mere flick of the wheel is all it takes and the MX-5 changing directions without drama.
Handling has received a similar upgrade. Thanks to Bilstein shocks, beefier springs, wider tires and thicker anti-roll bars, no stock car I have driven communicates to me better than the Mazdaspeed MX-5. Top down, low to the ground and feeling completely in control of the car at all times, the Mazdaspeed feels like an overgrown go kart or watered-down race car. The joy behind the wheel is endless
