Reviews SummaryThis year, the 2024 Mazda MX-5 gets new steering, a reworked limited-slip rear differential, and a DSC-Track setting that relaxes the traction and stability control systems. In addition, the 2024 MX-5 gets the latest Mazda Connect infotainment system with an available Alexa digital assistant and several interior refinements. The headlights and taillights are new, redesigned 17-inch wheels debut, and new exterior and interior colours are available. However, to achieve perfection, we’d like more choices in configurations. Verdict: There isn’t a more elemental sports car than the 2024 Mazda MX-5. You can spend more money to get added power, performance, practicality, technology, luxury, cachet, and exclusivity, but if you’re looking for the equivalent of a street-legal go-kart, nothing on four wheels better defines a cheap thril | |
Reviews SummaryIt’s true the Honda Accord midsize sedan doesn’t have all-wheel drive, a third-row seat, a big cargo area you can pack to the roof, or styling that suggests you live an adventurous lifestyle. If you want those things, spend thousands of dollars more for the Honda Pilot SUV, which is less dynamic to drive and more expensive to own and operate. But, if you don’t need (or want) those things, consider the 11th-generation 2023 Accord, which remains an excellent, if comparatively expensive, example of the traditional four-door family car. | |
