We feel grateful every time the Mazda MX-5 Miata lives to see a new model year. This charming roadster isn't a hot seller, but it's one of our favorite cars, so we're happy to see it receive some updates for 2020. New exterior and interior colors are on offer and there's a bit more standard equipment, meaning that the price increases of between $700 and $890, depending on trim level, are relatively easy to stomach.
All 2020 Miatas also get a new font and a new key fob like the rest of the Mazda lineup.The MX-5 Miata Sport remains the base trim and it now starts at $27,500. That price includes new driver-assist features—blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and forward collision warning—which are now standard across the board. The $31,210 Miata Club now includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Grand Touring now costs $32,590 and features the same chassis upgrades as the Club, including a limited-slip differential, Blistein dampers, a front shock tower brace, and stiffer suspension tuning. The RF version with a retractable targa top cost $2755 extra and comes only in Club and Grand Touring trims.

Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
